That might be the case if you fly across the world and turn phone on in new location. Receiver stores last fix and satellite table. On restart it should not take more then a minute to get new fix.

Steps I took to check this. WiFi off, phone off, battery out, SIM card out, battery in, phone on. It took 38 seconds to get first fix.

The app is still crashing and restarting every time I go to the home screen and back. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but I am also mapping a trip with Sensorly in the background.

1) beta randomly reboots phone (but does not freeze it anymore)
it mainly happens when popups are displayed (especially the speed cam alerts)

2) speed trap and traffic light notifications are extremely intrusive and slow, phone sometime hangs at the notification and doesn't continue till i manually close it. When several notifications are displayed in a row even GPS signal lost notice is displayed.

3) HUGE memory or CPU footprint. Papaya was running smootly on an HTC hero, 3.X has having difficulties running on a modern phone. Most of the problems arise when notifications are displayed.

4) bluetooth devices make things worse, when bluetooth is connected is very likely the phone will hang or reboot at notification display or during routing.

5) before the phone reboots the keyboard becomes unresponsive, it is not possible to go to home or close waze.

I would strongly recommend finding a less intrusive notification method, speed traps request anyway an editor to approve or remove them, there is no need to pop-up the notification and countdown to 0. A simple flashing icon and a voice alert will do the job much better, when clicked the icon would open up the "is not here" button.
Bloating bloating bloating, the app seems to be sluggish, if the price for some nice graphics is a sluggish navigator I prefer the ugly ones!
