Took Waze 0.0.9 for a road trip. Lost all mobile signals (Gifford Pinchot Forest) and Waze went into an unrecoverable loop prompt for network connection. Even when returning to a signal available area and choosing my mobile carrier, Waze seemed not to wait for the network connection to stabilize. The select network dialog returned immediately prompting for disconnect of network connection.

If disconnect was selected, then the prompt for connect immediately appeared. And so on.

Could never get out of this loop. Ctrl-backspace would not allow task to be managed.

Eventually had to power down phone to regain control. Shouldn't Waze be able to run in GPS only mode? Understand we lose map downloads etc, but Waze would at least be stable.

Seems that there needs to be some timing added to allow a network connection to complete. And, perhaps a user prompt to continue with GPS only.

Thanks again for the efforts!
