[RELEASE] Waze (beta) (Freeware)

[forty01]

Hey Dash, when you get your Droid, try running it on there and then you can find out if has anything to do with location, data, and so forth. I ran this on my TP when it 1st came out and it ran w/o probs. Running it on Android has been spectacular, no problems at all. I think I mentioned this in the beginning of the thread and Roopull mentioned it again. This app is not what I use to find a location and get directions to. It can do that, but not with capabilities of other Navigation programs. However, it is a great program to communicate with your community on what the roads are looking like. If I know where I'm going, then I just run Waze and I can feel a little better about what I might run into on the way there I also, mentioned earlier in this thread how fast the communities are growing. I hoped on Waze from almost the beginning and I hardly saw any posts being relayed, but now it's all over the place and this program has not been out forever, but growing exponentially. Hey Roopull, with you being on the road all the time and no outlets, you can go pick up a portable charger. They run $50 or so and work great. Could be a good investment for yourself considering. I would, but that's just me

Are you referring to the little chargers that run on AA batteries? If so, I have one, but only use it for emergencies.



As a side note, before long, I'll be at the top of the user rankings.

D/\SH, I'm thinking it's probably the ROM you're running. Wasn't that the issue, earlier?

I'm on a boring ole' stock Sprint ROM, myself.

naw it was working on mighty than stopped working and tried on all the different roms including ones people have it running on and wont work for me in my area and i know im doing it right now too... im just gonna give up on this app i think... not worth the troubles for some silly stupid points.

Like I said above, Dash, just try it on your Droid and then see how it runs for ya.
Naw Roopull, I'm referring to a $50 portable charger. Slightly bigger, you can charge it with AC and then get two full charges or run your phone while connected to it. Best Buy actually gave me Best Buy money for purchasing my Plasma through them and I used that to purchase my charger there. It's $50-$70, in the cell phone section. You can get it at other electronic stores, like Fry's and so forth. Good Luck to both of you.

They do and it's not like I need mine all the time, but when you do... it's there for you. For Roopull, he would live off of them based off of GPS running and nothing to charge with, lol

[roopull]

Hey, Thanks Forty01... Adding one of those chargers to my Christmas list. ha ha.

[iamdasht19]

and just a little update for all, on the droid eris all day and waze actually works with it so i am happy and cant wait to get back to using this without the issues i was experiencing on my wm device.

[roopull]
