iOS Beta 3.4.99.26 Feedback thread

by **Dave2084** » Thu Oct 18, 2012 6:39 am

OK this morning, I've deleted Waze, rebooted and installed the beta from scratch (ie not an upgrade).

Issues:
1. Waze connected to Facebook, but did not pick up my Waze account I also had to log in to it separately.
2. Foursquare still NOT possible to log in.
3. All my favourites were lost.

Twitter now seems to log in OK for me.

How do I get my favourites back, I know some of you had this issue with previous betas.

It seems to work fine now.

I'll try upgrade vs install for recovering favourites when I get home.

Will be fixed shortly.

There are some things in the UK Brands list that need removing, who should I discuss this with?

Is it only on fresh install? Can you try to upgrade again and check if it solves the problem?

No need, I went do do something that needed facebook and it seems that when first running this beta I had not been logged on correctly as I had this appear:

At this point I decided to go for a delete and reinstall. This time I logged in correctly and my Favourites came back as normal.

I've done a little playing around and this version works really well for me.

Still a few issues to fix:
1. Turn number for roundabouts still not centred:
2. Translation files for the UK English Translation (lang.eng_uk) have not been updated for Waze v3.5 as the following are missing which have been added to the US English file (lang.eng):

Code: Select all: duck=quack duck-female=quack geek-female=geek sarcastic-female=sarcastic shy-female=shy sick-female=sick ninja-female=ninja

So you get this:

3. I like the new scoreboard, but please can we please change the State/All States labels to Country/World (or similar) when outside of NA. I tried adding the following to the Language file but I guess it must be hard coded:

Code: Select all: State=Country All States=World

Just had had the shutdown reboot error. Logs uploaded, however I've just check and I want in debug mode either. :-)

by **Dave2084** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 1:30 pm

It just happened again, this time I was in debug mode. Logs uploaded a moment ago.

Is this version a release candidate? I was just wondering as it doesn't install in Debug mode and beta has been removed from the splash screen ...

I'm still finding it very fussy when on a GPRS or EDGE network. It just seems to loose connection to the Waze servers; sometimes it shows the connection is lost or, sometimes it it shows you're connected but when you try and report something you get the "not connected" message. Despite not being connected to Waze I can use the net with other apps (eg speedtest.net) sometimes the only way to force it to reconnect is to toggle Airplane mode on and off, then it will connect immediately.

One of the things I liked about Waze back in the early days is how well it managed to download the maps whist driving with the slowest of connections but now it seems most at home on 3G, which sadly rules out most of the UK road network.

I've found this on previous versions and reported it before. In some areas, the network speed is so poor that when Waze tries to send data back to the server for sending a report, it loses the heartbeat, or connection to the server because the network can't handle the traffic.

Yes I should clarify that in my experience this is not new for this beta, I'm not sure when it started, perhaps it's just gotten worse as more users came to Waze and it had more and more features added.

Either way the network connection for v3.x is nowhere near as stable as it was in 1.x and 2.x :cry:

Can you provide a screenshot? Last time I checked it was centered.

Perhaps it's because on the UK we drive on the CORRECT side of the road

It's been like this since the first v3.5 beta.

The attachment IMG_1751.PNG is no longer available

On ROW server you are supposed to see "country" and "all countries".
Can anyone (that not from US) confirm they still see "States/All states"?

This I was I see right now:
