I want to use the Terry Crews voice, but I've tried multiple paths supplied online and none of them work. The only option I have under Settings > General is Language, but that's just language, not audio language.

Under Settings > Sound, I only have Prompts volume and Play sound to phone speaker..
Yours does not look like this?

Here is an interesting bug I found on the TTS in the UK

Have a look at this PL https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=row&lo ... ,254695811

Travelling from the A4 Bath Rd to Tull Way the instructions are bizarre - i.e. Instead of saying take the 2nd Exit to Tull Way - its says take the 2nd exit to Jethro way - I'm guessing the routing engine is thinking of Jethro Tull :lol:

Any ideas?

This is something I observed when I switched from 3.8.0 to 3.8.1.

In 3.8.0 when I go to the "find friends from contacts" menu, I have a full list of my contacts (~400 entries or so).

Now, with 3.8.1 the list contains only ~7 entries. At first glance these contacts are some entries in my SIM, BUT not all of them are there though. None of my original contacts are on the list now. This also means, that my already established friends' nicknames do not map to their names in my phonebook, and I lost contact photos. This does not fix itself after a few hours, that I've given to it to sync somewhere in the background whenever it wants to.
I don't even get that.
I'll manually search for a name that is in my contacts and it comes up blank.

It appears now that the only way to manually add a friend is from Facebook (I don't do Facebook), or apparently there is some way to add someone in your immediate area... as my wife was able to "friend" me and likewise I her... but I can't even search by a Wazer's username to send a friend request, and friends on the forum here do not appear in the mobile app.

For now, the add-friends function is 100% broken for those not on Facebook.
It is working for me properly, I can add contacts from my contacts list after verifying my phone number.
it seems to depend on the Android version, on my nexus tablet with 4.4.4 it works, on my HTC one m8 with 4.4.2 don't.. [FACE SCREAMING IN FEAR]

Hi Wazers,
I have noticed network reconnection problem too, but it looks like waze takes around 10 minutes or even more to reconnect. Little bit excessive timeout :)

Second problem is crossing time zone: when I cross area with different time zones phone clock changes accordingly. First time navigating at that moment I see "Oops .." message but few minutes later navigation restarted and ETA updated to new timezone time. On the way back navigation disappeared leaving me with map only. No route on screen, no voice commands. To fix I had manually restart navigation from menu.

Thanks,
twinmos

Using the UK English Serena voice, when reading out a road number which includes a direction - e.g. A308 (N) - the pause between the number and the direction is a clear pause, whereas the pause between the direction and the road name is no different to the pause between words, which gives the potentially confusing impression that the direction is the first word of the road name.

e.g. A308 (N) Braywick Road is read out as sounding like "A308 *pause* North Braywick Road"

cc@tts isn't a folder, it's what you type into the Waze app as a destination.

I had version 3.7.8.0 on my motorola droid 4 and it worked great. The new version 3.8.1.0 will not send my shared ride by text. I also am not receiving shared ride text messages from my friends.

Is there a way to install the older version that worked?

This version repaired voice messages 800m and 200m before roundabound, but there is new problem. Voice messages 800m and 200m before exit from highway is missing. It is big problem and we have a lot of complaints from users in Czech Republic.
