I never had any issues until the update. now it will say no network connection across the top of the screen. If i close the app and re open it will work fine for a while then the same thing will happen and i have to reopen the app. When it says no network connetction all my other apps connect fine so i know the internet connection is working fine. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but the results are the same.
Logically, as long as the internet connection or WiFi isn't stable, any app will not be performing properly. Once the red "Searching network" remark that is shown on the top of the WAZE map is vanished, WAZE is back to its good shape.

Hello all,

I am running Waze on my Note 5, android. When I start out somewhere where there is a set speed limit (IE my work where it's 20mph) then go to a road where there isn't a speed set, the speed limit sign (20mph in my case) stays in the corner, blocking the speedometer.

The only way I have found to make it go away is to restart Waze. I'm not too sure, but I think it only happens if I exceed the speed limit before turning onto a road without the speed limit set. My wife has also had this issue a few times.

Thanks for reading, I'll answer any questions to help.

Same problem here.

Can the Nexus 5X get some love for its camera? All pictures post upside down. The geniuses at LG mounted it 180 degrees from literally every other camera ever put in a phone. This is a well-known issue and apparently it's up to the individual app developers to figure out how to use the API properly. I want to be able to contribute place photos again!

I'm seeing similar behavior on my 5X. When I get on the freeway, the sign pops up to tell me the limit is 75mph and sits there until it's kicked off by a speeding alert (meaning I have to get up to about 79mph to kick it off). I usually only drive 70 for fuel efficiency, and revving to 80 just to un-bug my app on a 3-mile drive is ridiculous. When I got off the freeway today the sign changed to the highway speed limit of 50, then 60 mph. Since my turnoff is only a short distance after the 60 sign, the speedometer was still blocked when I pulled into my parking space.

The limit update alerts don't seem to pop up very reliably either. Getting on the freeway is the most common, but sometimes it'll happen in town too. Whenever they do, I have to speed to get my speedo back. If the limit is 25 and I only have to hit 26 to kick it off, it's not a big deal. On the freeway, though....

Tap the three dots to the right of the favorite you want to delete, then tap "Remove". Works in my app.

The parking lot feature is not fully functional yet, so give them some time to finalize it and then they'll roll it out completely.

As has been said many times, when you log into a new phone, it may take several days for all your stats to catch up to normal.
