Unable to start Waze on HTC Desire

Post by wh05apk
I had not used Waze for a while, I tried to use at the weekend, when I had a long trip, but it would not open on my phone, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it is still the same,I get the blue start up screen then it just stops.

I am using an HTC desire, with about 20mb free (which ha always been enough in the past) any suggestions?

I'm using Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Android 13 Swedish and the latest (beta) Waze version.

I had problems with my HTC Desire HD as well since Waze 3.0 was released. Haven't used it for a while though. I pinpointed the problem to be slow processor, slow memory and a poor GPS receiver. Did a couple of hard resets of the phone which made things better for a while, but eventually I decided to buy a new phone instead.

You can also attempt Settings menu / Apps / Waze and then a force stop if Waze is running.
If you then do a Clear Cache and Clear Data, you can likely avoid the uninstall / reinstall.

I've had that a few times where Waze broke due to phone restarts on low battery or other quirks , and this fixed it for me every time.

I had the same issue. If this helps, I re-installed it from Google Play, then disabled Wifi, and launched Waze. It connected succesfully using my HSDPA connection

I believe that attempting to connect over Wifi on the 1st time caused the issue, it never managed to connect afterwards. Strange enough..
