Not getting any Pop-up notifications

Post by karl_db
Hi, I joined Waze almost two weeks ago. I use it for every journey and contribute information relating to traffic on my routes. In the beginning, before I joined any Groups, I was getting pop-up notifications about issues with traffic, police etc. within a 5km radius. This was great for me.

However, last week I joined a variety of groups with hundreds of members I checked the box that says Allow Pop-up messages from ALL Groups that I am a member of. Since then, I have received absolutely no pop-up messages. I "unjoined" all of the groups for a day to see if this would make any difference and I still do not get any pop-up messages.

Please help. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank You in advance.

(Galaxy SII Gingerbread - Waze 3.5.3.0).

Known issue. Other threads about it already. Mostly discussed in the client feedback threads in the client forum.

Thanks Alan,

I was looking in the wrong place for the answer.
Maybe something you wrote is key... I also have popups for groups selected. Maybe there's something which is causing a conflict. I'm going to try turning off group popups and see if the regular ones come back...

Very interesting. (I forgot to check this last night.)

I also tried the group notifications and it made no difference. I get zero popups and my radius has been set to all settings with no difference. Currently set to "All" and still nothing when stopped.

Me too. I didn't know I had popups for groups selected until I read this thread and looked.

The group popup setting does appear to affect the popup when at a standstill. I turned the group setting off and received more popups when at a standstill this morning.

No, what I did was to go to Settings>Social Networks>Pop-up reports and select "None." However, I now think I may have been hallucinating the results because I'm not getting pop-ups consistently when I stop. I do have the event radius set to "On route only" and am generally driving with navigation on.

I received only 1 pop-up this morning. So there does not seem to be any correlation between the Pop-up reports setting and my receiving pop-ups when at a stand still.
