SGSII, Android 2.3

Waze loses all settings and makes me to reenter login information and all the configuration after reboot.

To reproduce (android message texts may differ, translated from polish):
1. Start and configure waze
2. Press and hold "turn off" button on device when waze is running.
3. Select "turn off" option
4. Click "OK" when message box "Phone will be turned off" appears.
5. Start phone, run waze.

Waze will show "initializing" and start as if it was not configured at all. It looks like waze cannot save configuration when killed by Android during shutdown process.

This is really annoying because I have to occasionally restart device when GPS cannot fix on satellites and I often forgot to exit waze before that. Configuring waze when driving is no fun at all....

Configuration should be written when changed, not on exit. Corrupted last position and other realtime data should not cause configuration corruption.

This bug appears when 3.7 was introduced. Earlier versions were ok.

Why would you do such thing? That's like pulling cord out off the wall while Windoze is doing updates. Try to exit Waze in normal fashion. Press Menu then Switch Off. That gives application a chance to finish writing to storage your last configuration, position and such.

Consider updating your SGSII to Android 4.2.2.

I have a (relatively old) Galaxy Nexus on 4.2.2 and I see the same thing. Sometimes I reboot because wifi gets jammed. I think it's some software I put on it but who knows what. Anyway, an upgrade to 4.2.2 is not the essential fix.

Now i Just converted to HTC One M7 and Waze experience on this phone sucks. I don't know whether it is this specific phone or just Android in General. I was actually hoping that it would look nicer on the the bigger screen real estate of HTC one compared to iphone 5

1) The Font size for street names is so small that it is un-readable when phone is mounted on the windsheild and so are the icons.
2) The iphone app has this feature in setting "Prefer Bluetooh" which would send the voice prompts over the my car's audio when connected with bluetooh. This works really nice on iPhone even when i am listening to satellite radio, the prompts automatically take the precedence and interrupt the radio and once done the radio is back on. There is no such option on HTC one Android app. And it is a big bummer....

So please please please... take care of the two above things in the next release.

Please share if anyone else agrees with me. I would like to know i am not going crazy or something.

Thanks.

I use a Samsung Galaxy S4 and the layout is not right some elements overlap each other and the z-order needs reviewing.

When Alerts or Popups need the highest z-order in order to make it possible to close them during navigation. I was unable to close a notification that came up because it was behind the next turn dialog.

The other issue is the poor placement of the elements when using different orientation (of which landscape is the one i use while driving)

smboards wrote:I think that it is not app error as such (I suspect mapping service) but still worth mentioning - suggestions of auto-learned routes erratic at best. Seems like the app or service has no understanding of actual time-of-day (autosuggests going to Work at evening etc).

smboards wrote:Yes I am familiar with Announcement "Waze app v3.6 popups and event radius notification". No, it does NOT work this way. No popups appear, ever. Not 4 of them, not in radius of 10km, not on my route. In 3.6 it looked like Waze tries to show them, zooming screen out briefly, but no popup. That was know bug for Android app. In 3.7.x even the zoomout does not happen, absolutely no activity while standstill even if there are loads of alerts in less than 5km radius.
