Android 4.2 issues

Post by
I can't get Waze to launch in Jelly Bean 4.2. Not the current stable release nor any of the released betas. Can anyone else running 4.2 tell me if they have same issues or if it's just me? I'm on Galaxy Nexus.

Waze works for me on both Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 3G. It survived updates from 4.1.2 to 4.2 to 4.2.1. On Galaxy Nexus update to 4.2 fixed crashes while accessing scoreboard or paid adds.

Same here using a Nexus 7 (2013) -- Login page always says it is the wrong username or password even though I've reset it and confirm it works on the website and on an Android phone. Tried deleting the application and reinstalling, deleting the "waze" folder, login as a temporary user and searching for "##@usa" (stuck on searching, never brings up any results) all without success.

I have a good GPS signal and WiFi; no cellular data on this device. Will Waze not work with that configuration?

I get the same thing running Modaco 4.2.1 (yakju). Do you use the Daydream feature on 4.2?

I am having similar issues I currently have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Toro) and Waze will run just fine for me is I am running Bugless Beast. But it seams if I run any other custom rom Waze will show the splash screen then also quite on me. I have tried to fix permissions to see if that helps but it did not. I would love to be able to run one of the new 4.2.1 roms and have Waze also working. Seams as I am stuck on 4.1.2 until the new version of Bugless Beast comes out so I can use Waze. Crazy that this app is that good that I will hold off on updating my rom just so I can use Waze.
