Hi,
sorry I didn't find the official thread for 3.5.2 bug reports but I found one bug:

In favorites I removed one of them, but after that when I want to see a favorite it shows me not the one I choosed but the next one:

I have favorites

A
B
C

Removed A

Now I if I select B, it is the C that is choosen.
I have to quit the menu and reopen it to fix that.

The recently used favorites also will appear in this list, mixed with the search results.

Hi,
I've just updated the waze client on my iPhone 4 (latest iOS) and the waze can't connect correctly to Facebook. It's still showing me the "Still adding friends" and It doesn't show any of them. Also it sometimes ask to connect to facebook again. Any idea? I've already tried to delete and install waze again, however, didn't help...

EDIT: From now, it shows that I have no Facebook friends to waze... It's nonsense, I have about 10 fb friends who use waze (and who appeared on my waze till today's update)

Tried that. It does nothing. When I click on "Disconnect" it does nothing. It just shows the spinning wheel for a second and than shows the same as before, that I'm connected to Facebook:-/

EDIT: here is what it does:
EDIT 2: when I check my Waze scoreboard on web, it shows all my friends correctly.

Hi,

I've created my thread before you created this one. Could you please move it here?
It was about problem with facebook connection/friends after updating.

Thanks:)

When Waze has been closed using the "Switch Off" function, it consumes about 4% battery per hour. I tested this by double-clicking the home button and killing every other app.

After shutting down Waze using the double-click, battery consumption was less than 1% per hour.

(Don't confuse this with failure to "Switch Off" which consumes battery at more like 20-25% per hour.)

There is no difference in 'Switch off' or killing it from the task bar. Both functions issue use the same system API to shut down the Waze process. The difference in battery use comes from something else, definitely not from Waze, because with both methods there are no longer any Waze processes running.
Well, today, when I arrived at work at 9:00, before unplugging the phone from the charger, I shut down Waze and manually killed every process in the taskbar...battery at 100%. At 1:00 pm, I checked and the battery was at 98%. At this point, I opened Waze and then closed it using the Switch Off function. At 5:00 pm, I checked and battery was at 80%.

All day long, I didn't use the phone, run any apps, receive or send any calls or texts or take the phone out of the sleep mode other than what I described here.

The logical conclusion is that Waze is draining the battery.

Draining first 2% then 20% is kind of expected. It's like the gas tanks on the cars, they have 110 to 120% to give you the impression that when the tank is full it takes ages before it the pointer starts dropping to 99%, but then it goes down to 50% and 25% way too fast for my €€€ :(
That's pretty much what I did. Yesterday, I found a huge drain after several hours. Killed Waze in the taskbar and there was no more drain (see my post from yesterday).

Tomorrow morning, I"ll repeat exactly what I did today...start from 100% at 9:00 am and see where the battery is at noon -- without killing Waze completely.

I did use a process monitor app just now to verify that when you "Switch Off" Waze, that process does stop.

I really, really, REALLY, hate that recents have replaced favourites on the main navigation window. The friends button is utterly useless for me too.
It's ok waze is trying to be more social but my friends won't decide to use waze al lat once just because you put a huge button there.
