OK - based on your input, Android version 1.5.2.3 is released and can be downloaded from
http://tiny.cc/waze9

Fixed:
* Scrolling with d-pad
* Network related crashes (when disconnected from network - thanks to gerben)
* Languages downloading problems

If all's well, we'll upload it to the market tomorrow.

Either way works, but the additional information provided in the forum enables me to link the data with an actual scenario and makes things easier to debug.

You can save the map data if that is improtant (just copy it to the side and put it back after reinstall).
If there are still crashes please send us (to alpha@waze.com) the waze_log.txt and logcat.txt, residing on the waze directory located on the SD card.

Just to update we corrected the parse error - should not appear any more when you reactivate the application. Had to do with a mismatch of configuration between new client and server.

@damaniac: Hard for me to explain that. I tested it extensively and it felt much much faster (on a Cliq). Did you install it from scratch ? And what device did you install it on ? Do you see the 1.5.2.0 version when pressing the wazer on the upper left corner (just in case the installation did not succeed) ?

It will be in the market once we've gotten enough feedback that it is functioning well (hopefully better than previously).
It does have the correction that enables data accumulated in off-line to be uploaded to the site (but the current Android version has the same correction already so I am not sure if you currently do not have ability to pave when being disconnected from the mobile Internet). If you are referring to totally off-line usage of waze (I.e. waze will not attempt to connect via the mobile internet), that version does not have this capability.

Why we don't have any classic color scheme? Like red, yellow, green, etc. roads? I don't like any of themes supplied ;P Maybe same colors like in web editor could be good enough...
