Thanks for finding those - an easy fix for next release.

Yes, it is stored locally as plain text, it always been like this in Waze 2.4 official Android release. Currently, all data is sent unencrypted as I haven't finished implementing the encryption part (see the release notes where I stated to refrain from using passwords in this release). The communication encryption will be fixed for the next release. About the local files, I need to check first what is the amount of change that is required for the Waze baseline code - if it is a small change I will fix it as well for the next release.

Currently the next release is set to 2 weeks from this post date - in the meanwhile I am gathering bugs to fix. If all is good it will come earlier than that.

We probably scared the bug away, sneaky little bugger
It might be related to the encryption layer which is only partially implemented. hopfully fixed in the next release.

try this to generate the core file:
/opt/waze/bin has only root write permissions so the core file probably was not able to be written there as you executed waze as a normal user. (core should now be be generated in /home/user)

Version 0.0.7 works well, but I miss the ability to use the program offline. It keeps on asking to connect to the Internet.

You can try to enable offline mode manually:
Set "Data Usage" -> "Download traffic info" to "Off"
Set "Map" -> Everything to "Off" except "Speedometer" under "Show on map" button group

how the core file should looks like? i cannot find any new file in /home/user

i executed
as a normal user but give same segfault and no core file

always from /home/user i tried to type root and tried again
this time the process seems to go beyond the usual seg fault and i got some new messages in xterm (like flag:1 etc) but it was very slow and appears to be in a loop or to take several time, so i just stopped with ctrl+z but still no core file in /home/user

should i try again with root privileges? and wait for this long process to got this core file? it will drain my battery? just to know, so i will put on charge

you should not run waze as root. It does not cause issues, symply not advised.
btw, ctrl+z does not close the application, it only kinda freezes it to the background. so you should kill waze properly you should run 'ps -eaf | grep waze | grep -v grep' to find the running waze application and then 'kill -9 ...' Where you replace the 3 dots with the number from the first column of the ps run. (or simply restart the phone instead )
the core file is a file that its name starts with core. I will check why it was not generated, it should have. Maybe there is another settings that is needed besides running the ulimit command

ok, i tried the navigation.. Work very nice.. 15 minutes without any crashes... And it's looks the gps signal is more stable than the previous versions..
Thanks

@gianko apparently bad_alloc dont generate a core file. I will create a special binary for you attempting to catch the issue.

gianko | # 189 | 2012-04-22, 09:20 | Report

thanks. i will try that.

ps: can this (http://status.waze.com/some-info-abo...-the-int-80908) cause problems?
