Same issue with a Galaxy S3, recently updated to Android 4.3. My voice prompts worked until the OS upgrade, now I get partial/garbled voice prompts during navigation. Instead of "Turn left ahead, then stay left to merge onto highway 101", I get "eft to merge"

Seems I have a different problem. If I try and use voice commands to notify other people about traffic or weather or road conditions I keep getting couldn't hear you... try again ... canceling ... Seems to never hear my alerts. Im going to try a couple different things listed here and see if that helps.

Sorry for my previous update but now it's again not running fine.

It's strange because I got sound alerts with the bluetooth enabled and now again sound alerts did played...

Maybe, there is a specific start? Start WAZE then enable bluetooth.
I tried this last night and it worked for about an hour than starting failing again. So this morning I turned off BT started Waze turned on BT worked for about the first 20 mins than failed again. Keeps saying it cant hear me when I try and give real time traffic updates. I don't get the garbled directions or reports its when I'm trying to give updates it keeps saying it can't hear me. Also I noticed last night that when I'm running Pandora and Waze when I do a 3 finger tap and give an update it automatically pauses Pandora. I love this app and its so frustrating it isn't working. I have an iphone 4s too I'm going to install Waze on and see if I get the same results or not.

Not sure if this would help or not cause it doesn't seem like Waze is looking at this but this is what is in my Waze log file.

This seems to be a voice command failure:

So a little more testing. Sorry don't mean to clog this thread just want this bug fixed. Last night I was able to add alerts for about 30 mins into my commute. After about 30 mins the alerts starting dying. If I shut down the app, cleared it from memory and re-opened the app if started working again.

Waze on Facebook responded: "Waze We're aware of it then, it just might take some time as we work with a prioritization system"

Disabling sound over phone speaker solved it for me, too: HTC One, Android 4.4, Sense 5.5

My voice guidance also became choppy about 2 months ago. I'm not sure when the 3.7.7 update came out but I am running that and Android 4.3 on an un-rooted Galaxy S-3. I have uninstalled the app, checked and un-checked every voice related switch I can find and done a couple of battery pulls to no avail.
Please fix this, I have had to use Google maps/navigation but I don't like it nearly as well as Waze. The voice guidance with Google works just fine.

I down loaded Waze todoy as after the 4.3 update I couldn't roll back to google maps 6 (7 sucks big time) only to have the same problems as reprted above on my S4. You would have thought that as google owns Waze it should have been a seemless transition. I only hope they respond as quick on these forums as they do to the traffic reports!
