Waze are too quiet on iPhone 4

Post by cmllmc
Hello,

at first I love the waze app =)

only one thing are not so good, waze are too quiet on the iPhone. Other App's are much louder then waze.

In the option I have all sounds on max.

Have someone an "trick"?

There's still issues with iOS and Waze audio. What you need to try to do is to use the phone buttons to increase Waze audio while a sound is playing. If Waze isn't trying to play a sound at that time you adjust volume, you are not adjusting Waze volume.

As for a trick, I have mine up on dash to my left. Sound seems to reflect off windshield and back at me. I have seen attachments that redirect sound to front of phone. Looks like a curved bull horn.

Same issue on iPhone 5; spoken instructions are way too quiet!

I tend to run through Bluetooth, but have to have the background music audio cranked up to actually hear Waze's spoken directions when they occur! I have found that 'full' directions (ie with street names) is slightly louder, but still quieter than other sat nav apps I have tried!

I tried that, but nothing changed.
