Hi All,

I recently upgraded to the Waze v3.9.0 for my iPhone 5 (MD293C/A) on Rogers carrier. Problems started cropping up with unusual data usage as it seems to trigger my "Time & Location" service. This only happens when I use Waze and not other GPS apps/location services. In a trip all of 20 minutes, my navigation required 40MB of data. Previously, I could travel for 2 hours and use 5MB of data. I know that data usage varies due to traffic, reports, etc. but nothing in traffic patterns around my area has changed THAT much to account for it.

Also, the data isn't being consumed so much by Waze itself (as indicated by the "Data used in current session") but something it's tripping on the phone. Using a data tracker and the iPhone's integrated "usage" stats, I could see that "Time & Location" service consuming an unusually high amount of data while Waze is active post-upgrade. I understand some geofencing and location-based features were implemented and not sure if that has any effect. While testing my drive this morning, I turned off everything else that could potentially consume data (emails, Siri, stock updates) These are the things I have tried:

- Soft restart on my phone
- Hard restart on my phone
- Uninstalling/reinstalling Waze app
- Turned "location services" off/on

I really wish I could install an older version of Waze and I could do some digging for find the old files and restore my phone, but has anyone noticed this type of usage and particularly something during the use of Waze that causes "Location & Time" to go wonky?

Please let me know if other info would help in diagnosing the problem.

Thanks.
