Play sound to phone speaker
What is the purpose of the "Play sound to phone speaker" check box (Settings>Sound)? I mean, doesn't it already go through the phone speaker?
Alternately, and oftentimes easier to increase volume: activate voice commands with two waves or a 3-finger tap, whichever you have set in settings. While Waze is waiting for your voice input, use the hardware buttons on the phone to increase the sound volume.sketch wrote:This shouldn't be happening. Are you sure your speaker volume isn't just turned down? Waze uses the media volume setting for prompts, which is separate from the ringer/alert volume setting. Unless you've changed your iPhone settings, the volume buttons on the side won't adjust Waze's volume unless Waze is giving a prompt. Try adjusting the volume while Waze is actually speaking.
That's the idea.AshBrad84 wrote:Is this option for when you are playing audio via the headphone jack (i.e. line into your car radio) and the prompts will still come out of the phone, not down the headphone output?

I am a "Waze Baby" but was surprised that the voice prompts on my iPhone 4S came out the regular phone speaker (the one that goes by the ear) rather than the much louder speakerphone speaker. I could barely hear the prompts. Perhaps I missed a setting somewhere.... If I enable Bluetooth, then I get the prompts that way.
