Post by MikeJones3
I just installed on my new galaxy nexus and waze didn't restore my favorites. Is there anyway to force it?

No... You could try to reinstall and keep your fingers crossed this time... ;)

After migrating to a Galaxy S4 just now, Waze didn't restore my favorites automatically.

The ##@restorefav command did the trick. Put it on the navigation search box, search, and then agree when asked... but do it quickly because the dialog will close and it will start to really search something.

1) If you're already logged in with Facebook please login with Waze (you need to sync Facebook with Waze).

2) Go to Menu >> Navigate and type in the search bar: ##@restorefav

Good luck!
Wow, worked like a charm! Thanks a lot!

I recently got a new phone, and my favorites have disappeared. Home and Work are still correct. I've tried deleting and reinstalling numerous times. I'm sure this question has been asked and answered many times, but I didn't see it when I looked. Thanks in advance

Thanks, but like I said, I've tried deleting and reinstalling numerous times, but they haven't come back. I was looking for some other way

Thanks, but that didn't work either. It also says I only joined 3 days ago, when I've had ways for several years now. Is there a way to see if I have another username associated with phone number?

I run Waze on two devices. One at the time. To "sync" favorites I delete all traces of Waze on one device. That includes clear data, clear cache, force stop, uninstall, delete waze folder. Wait few hours and re install from .apk or Play Store.
I accidentally erased all my sdcard data which wiped all my apps' settings as well. Waze wouldn't resync my favorites.

Your tip fixed it for me. Thanks!:-)

I wish they have syncing options on the next update though...
