OK, I think I found the cause for the new issue where "Navigate never ends".
Please try to disable network compression (Settings -> Data Usage -> Use Data Compression) and restart Waze.
If that "solves" the issue, it verifies my findings and I will start drilling to the bottom of this.
I will try again... but I turned off data compression after reading about it causing problems... so i'm 90% sure I had it off last time. I'll try again tomrrow.
Since upgrading from 0.0.9 to 0.0.9-28, I've noticed the volume is now too loud (to the point of sounding tinny), using the hardware volume controls and adjusting the settings inside Waze (General / Volume Control) seems to have no effect.
I also took the new version on a 50km trip yesterday, using navigation.
On the way there, there were no problems, but on the return trip, Waze crashed three times. Should I post the postmortem files here or open a new issue on the waze-qt project?
I checked and my data compression setting is still off.

OK, it seems when I upgraded to Waze 0.0.9-28 new voice navigation prompts were downloaded. The new ones are louder and tinnier. My previous files are all dated May 25.
It may be that I never needed to change the volume before and that it has never worked.

I did exactly the same trip today, on the way there, Waze crashed once, on the return trip not at all.

Please raise the debug level, reproduce and send the logs

I created an issue and attached the postmortems.
Regarding the volume control settings, should the setting in General / Volume Control affect the level of the voice prompts?
I have tried switching from English, which I now found too loud, to English UK (Natalie), which I find too soft.
Hi, I've been using your app for sometime and I've found a recurring bug, everytime that I try to download the spanish (mexico) speech language it crashes the app, to the point that when I restart the app it closes again in a infinite loop that the only way to stop it is to delete the .waze directory, but if i do that, my saved places and favorites get deleted without option to re-download them or anything at all.
What do you need me to do so you can check this bug so it gets updated in the next release?

i encoutered this issue myself in my tests last night, but in my case after ~10 waze crashes it started working correctly. I was not able to find the cause, the debugger show that the crash occured in an illogical place of the app.
Update: Navigation is working again when Data Compression in use. Still needs to find the source of the other reported crashes.
Update 2: One of the crashes was identified to be caused by the map tiles. That's a lot of code in 2 files that I will need to cover. I still havn't found the cause for the crashes that sometimes occur on first starts when downloading 1500.mp3 (in the application start)
New test packages v0.0.9-29:
I'm afraid that you will need to remove ~/MyDocs/.waze/ as there is a possibility that the previous releases saved some data in a bad way that might have caused a crash when the data was read. I am still not sure it solves the unexplained crashes during navigation - please take that into account when trying.
My previous files are all dated May 25.
