I have tried to use voice command on my iPhone 5 and it is impossible to use. I keep my phone in one of the cup holders next to my shift. If I try to give voice command, Waze says that it can't hear me. It only works if I yell very loud or move the phone to my mouth.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to force a map to update in iOS? I've had some red-light cameras removed from the Live Map, but over a week later they still exist in the client map.

Settings > Advanced > Data transfer > Refresh map of my area
Thanks, but I've tried that. Hasn't appeared to work (the stupid cameras are still present). Have also deleted and reinstalled the app, but it appears some things didn't go away with a quick delete/reinstall.

Has the bug with the incorrect ETA being displayed as "new" when a better route is found been fixed? Up through 3.7.6, anytime Waze found a new route with a better ETA, it would display the original ETA as the "new ETA" and the new ETA would already be displayed in the bottom of the window. Here are screenshots from where I originally reported it in 3.5.3

This is controlled server-side, so of course there would be no relation to client version making it re-appear.

This is also controlled server-side. The app will display what the server tells it to.

I got the screen dimming 3 times in the morning commute. It didn't make the screen untappable time, like it used to.

The changes were based on requests from users going back over a year. The new method is more simplified and cleaner. This modified process also allowed them to bring back the ability to tap-hold a spot on the map and select it as a stop point. Up to now, this was impossible. This is also something users have been asking for for a long time.

Can't believe that... Of course the function itself uses data from the server, but the option to enable or disable this function is clientside.
The option disappeard with the installation of the 3.7.6 client, on another phone I use an older version and it works properly:
That menu is fed to the client on login, so they can update it live any time they want. They choose not to. Why yours hasn't been updated, I can't say. But they removed it between app version releases, so that's all pretty clearly not related to an app release. I also had them rename "Display settings" to just "Display" between app releases.

Voice commands over bluetooth are broken. Trying to use your iPhone built-in mic will be nearly impossible due to ambient noise. So, for the most part, voice commands are currently borked.

I'm having a couple different graphical glitches in the last couple versions. None of which I'm able to easily repeat in order to make tracking the bugs possible.

What country are you in? I wonder if this might be country specific. (Tip: If you update your forum profile location data, then you won't have to repeat it in the future.)

Firefly fans ALWAYS welcome. :)

What exactly are the problems you are having with prompts? What do the others not do that the four you mention do?

EDIT: Nvm. I'll catch you in the other thread.
