thanks

How can I enter in the beta program?

Email beta@waze.com. If there is room, which is at least partially governed by Apple's requirements, they will let you know next steps.

Here's a weird one. If i go to the menu and touch shut down and then immediately press the power button to shut off the screen, waze doesn't actually shut down. When i unlock the phone it appears to have been immediately relaunched upon shutting down.

Twice i have noticed this, which has caused waze to run in the background giving bad data. I have just replicated it and sent the logs. I did the following:

Launch waze
Menu->Switch Off
Power button
wait 5 seconds
Unlock Phone
On the screen is a fresh launch of waze, displaying the count of users/reports/jams around me.

timestamp of this post is about 2 minutes after logs were sent.


Edit:
After I posted i tried to shutdown again(still the same launch session from above) and it relaunched in front of my eyes. The map dimmed and then immediately went to the splash screen. I did not see my home screen in between. I have sent the logs again(only 3 this time so it should be easier to parse).

If it continues to be a problem, I"m just going to do a restore and bring back my backup from yesterday. I have yet to see any improvement on anything with iOS 6, probably because I'm running a 3GS and most of the features in iOS 6 aren't available on my hardware.

I didn't have any problem with performance on this beta until today. Last night, I upgraded to iOS 6. This may have something to do with it.

Today, I noticed that the GPS response to movement was extremely slow or delayed. I could go a block or more before it noticed I changed direction. I don't know iOS 6 is just not handling the GPS signal well, or whether it's an issue between Waze and iOS 6.

There is a problem with how iOS 6 interacts with external GPS hardware, particularly with the iPod Touches. There are multiple threads in the Community Forums on Apple’s wesite:

And here is a search to find other related threads:

I’ve encountered the problem more than once, and the described work-around of resetting the Privacy Settings has worked, but it seems like I sometimes have to do the reset more than once. I _really_ hope this is fixed in the next iOS update because I can’t predict when my iPod Touch will be able to use the Dual GPS cradle that works without problems under iOS 5.x.

Also, when I got home, I either forgot to shut down Waze and just put the phone to sleep, or I thought I shut it down and put it to sleep, but I noticed a little while later that the phone was hot in my pocket, so when I took it out and swiped the unlock bar, Waze immediately came up. I did the Switch Off and it shut down and then immediately came back up. On my second attempt, it shut down.

I'm missing something, I think. I have AppSync on my JB iphone 3g but can't get the last few betas to install. I got one before but nothing on the last 2 or 3 since 3.2.2 went on itunes store.

I had extremely poor display performance with this version. I am not sure if it is just this version or would have happened with the previous betas. Most of the poor performance is around requesting routes to locations several hours away.

Happens due to long logs and should work fine with debug mode OFF.
