HTC + Froyo screen problem when using landscape mode. | Screenshot | Starting the app in portrait, then switching to landscape will display the problem as shown in the link, but rotating back to portrait will return the screen to normal. Starting the app in landscape then rotating to portrait does not fix it. | Open |

Adding a photo to a report freezes at the camera sceen. The back button brings you back to the report screen, but the touch screen does not respond. Hardware buttons (home or back) invoke a OS message that the app has stopped responding, and the question if you want to wait or exit the app. When you chose 'wait', you can wait forever, the only way out is to exit the app through the OS crash message, and restart. | Open | ||

Waze does not obey the "Event Radius" distance option when navigating, after canceling navigation, or if the routing server returns an error. The example video linked here is from the iPhone, but Android suffers the same bug.
EDIT: The Event Radius expands to include the area along your route and destination when navigating. This is by design. The confirmed BUG is that this settings stays in effect if routing is canceled or routing errors out. |

The name of the next turn is not displayed when the turn after that is on to a segment which is a Ramp road type. The name displayed is the ramp name. The turning direction is correct for the next turn, but the name displayed is for the following turn. | This is a routing server bug. See Routing section below. | Resolved | |

Bug in code causes the client to be unable to display the following speeds:
|
This is currently working as designed, but the client should not be coded in knots and then converted to mph or kph. This causes a loss of accuracy in displaying the correct speed. | Open | |

Map and vehicle take turns "scrolling" which is distracting and looks unprofessional. The map stay perfectly still while the car icon moves along the road for a short distance, then the map scrolls, moving the car backward (backward relative to the physical device, but it stays in the right place relative to the map). Affects both 2D and 3D mode. | Open | ||

|
Minimize turns setting doesn't stick between client exit/start. | Minimize turns setting is ignored by the routing server and is always on. This option will likely be removed from the app in the future. | Pending | |

|
Approaching hazard, police, speed cam, red light cam will cancel a current on-screen alert which is counting down and waiting for user response. | For example, a police report 400ft from a red-light camera. The pop-up for confirming or "not there" button for the police appears correctly, but having to wait until the right location causes the red-light alert to pop up before the "not there" button can be pressed causing the incorrect police report to remain. | Open | |

User-selected zoom levels are not saved without autozoom disabled. To recreate: disable autozoom, drive, navigate, select alternate routes, view Map of alternate routes, select route. Waze map will be pinned north up and zoomed out as far as it can go instead of returning to previous user-selected zoom setting. | This issue has been on-going since the 2.0 release | Open | |

Street names are mispronounced. | Waze is working with the OS built-in Text-To-Speech engine and cannot control pronunciation at this time. A future feature to allow editors to post phonetic pronunciation may be a possibility. | Open | |

Graphic preview of events along a route is not accurate. | http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=12674 | This may involve a routing server issue, too. | Open |

No more than one favorite on an unnamed (null name) street can be added in v3.0. Previous favorites on unnamed streets remain, and you can add only one with v3.0.
