I can be right next to, or pumping gas at a gas station, and try to report prices, but I almost always get an error claiming there is no GPS reception. I will try several times, and sometimes it refuses, while other times it will finally find the gas station so I can report after 10 tries or so. Any others with this issue?
I've had that issue for the last several versions on my LG OptimusV. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse.

That is funny. Since google now owns waze, it would be nice if I could add friends by user name again and not just facebook. I've got a couple friends that don't use facebook and have waze.

I have a Galaxy Young, Android 4.1.
I been having the same problem since around a month ago: Waze closes by itself, seconds after being launched.
The only thing that I get to see is a piece of map (???) with the sign "big". But only for a few seconds... After that, it closes, no error message or anything!
I've already tried uninstalling and re-installing but no good.
People on forums with the same problem have found that the only workaround is to install the previous version... I find this unbelievable..
Help!

Is it possible to use voice command over bluetooth headphones at all? It's barely functional with the road noise.

Can the app change the traffic status after certain time delay? Normally I got lots of "heavy traffic" type of pop up that were reported 20-30 mins ago, and by the time I was close to the location, most of the time the traffic was gone. I thought the app should be smart enough to remove the "heavy traffic" if for 20-30 mins no wazer on that route reports anything.

Trying to report gas prices seems to always fail for me. I get repeated "loss of gps signal" messages every time I try to report a gas price. I have moved the car out from under any roof/overhang and tried repeatedly. No luck.

Phone: Motorola Droid Bionic, Verizon Wireless, Michigan, USA.

Did I stumble upon a 'feature' or is does this happen when their is either a connectivity or capacity problem with the routing server?

Waze 3.7.2 on S3 running CM10.1RC5

Cheers.
I have had this "feature" for at least a week so it is not related to 3.7.2 bugfix.

Why would you do such thing? That's like pulling cord out off the wall while Windoze is doing updates. Try to exit Waze in normal fashion. Press Menu then Switch Off. That gives application a chance to finish writing to storage your last configuration, position and such.

Consider updating your SGSII to Android 4.2.2.
I have a (relatively old) Galaxy Nexus on 4.2.2 and I see the same thing. Sometimes I reboot because wifi gets jammed. I think it's some software I put on it but who knows what. Anyway, an upgrade to 4.2.2 is not the essential fix.

Found update June 6 on Play Store. This time installed ok, but now can't open Waze. I get the splash screen, then blank black screen, then it closes. :cry:
