Waze wrote:WHAT'S NEW

Version 4.0 introduces a fresh new design for easier navigation, reporting, and sharing.
• Significantly reduced battery consumption.
• Fewer taps to start a drive, send locations and directions.
• New ETA panel organizes everything you need in one place. View reports, check alternate routes, add a stop on the way, or instantly send ETA to friends and family.
• Smart reminders to leave on time for your Calendar events based on traffic conditions and drive times.

I have Waze 4 running on a LG G4 with Android M. I don't feel as negative about the new version as some do, but one thing that is strange is the calendar alerts are always a day early. If I have a hotel stay on Friday, and it says so in my Google calendar, Waze will pull it and show it on Thursday. As others have mentioned, it asks me to set the address for the event, which does save, but it never does any good if Waze is trying to make me go there a day early.

Also, what is with making color schemes stored in private data? Although this is a minor move, it seems to really go against the whole community-driven basis for Waze. Just let people display the app the way they want and share their schemes.

Actually, this does NOT fix the problem. Out of 6 devices this issue occurs on that we have access to (all android) it "fixed" it on 1. The rest continue to have the issue - until we back-rev to previous version.
Sorry,

On the two different devices I have, it worked for both ........ Only reported as found for me and as mentioned by other people in the thread
I have had the same problem. One thing that sometimes works is a simple phone restart. Another thing that always works, and basically does the same thing as reinstall but quicker, is to enter ##@resetapp in the search bar. It will wipe away your previous searches and settings, but it should make the gas prices report icon come back. For more information on special codes, check out this wiki page https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Search_codes

Tap search like you're going to type in an address and you should see an icon for it.
Of course this works only if you are able to set up your fuel preferences. ;) Otherwise you get Uh-oh!

Some had this issue for all the beta versions as well. Uninstalling waze from the Andoid settings and reinstalling brought back the gas price reporting button in the betas (for some ##@resetapp had the same result). But this means waze data is deleted from your phone so you need to relink to your account.

This also seemed to work to fix some issues with the search tabs and some network connection problems in the beta releases.
I know how to fix this but millions that are updating to this version right now don't. Most don't know this forum exists.

"Clean" install will fix this and many other issues like favorites, missing gas menu options.

Make sure you know how to get access to your account before. On first screen start with "Already a Wazer?"

I have a Note 5 (SM-N920C) with the latest 6.0.1 update installed. There seems to be a serious rendering problem with Waze on this phone, my suspicion is that the software somehow uses the wrong driver or display mode on the phone. Please see the attached screenshots to see what I'm talking about. The day/night setting changes nothing at all, the route is very thin so the software is unusable as it stands. It is as if all texture info is missing.
This looks like corrupted schema file. Uninstal Waze, find and delete Waze folder then reinstall from Play Store.
