Ahgong Supercharged February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 so far, has anyone used waze to drive all the way to KL or PG? what phone you using? i love this app. but the battery drain is an issue i am trying to overcome. even with the charger plugged in, going from Jurong to Tampines, it sucked 52% of battery juice, starting from 100% at beginning of trip. uncheck the goodie, road traffic information etc that will help to lengthen your battery life of the phone. where can this be found? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are using phone right? Check if the charging port you are connected to is 500mA or 1000mA. If using tablets, you may need those 2100mA ones.

Daily, excellent for route planning. Get a higher amp chager. Do take note waze uses gps, 3g/4g data as well as the whole screen, it will definitely drain more power. Mine drop as well, I'm on note 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Supersonic February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 I noticed this and did the trip a few times. I did turn off all the un-necessary apps from the second attempt onwards. the only apps running on my phone was waze, maps and GPS. stopped all other running apps. and the battery drain is still about 52% (on avg of 3 trips). i am just wondering if the battery drain is the same for you guys. pad fone is on ICS. I used Waze on iphone 4S w/o any car charger from 2nd link to Malacca. Ok le. Very good traffic info. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

azlan96 1st Gear February 6, 2014 Share February 6, 2014 data plan expensive? data usage on phone has not penetrated the market in general? Everyone there is literally using iPhones, I dont see anybody using dumbphones or any android device, and their data plan is like 1GB RM20/ $GD 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahgong Supercharged February 7, 2014 Share February 7, 2014 Everyone there is literally using iPhones, I dont see anybody using dumbphones or any android device, and their data plan is like 1GB RM20/ $GD 8 hmm... then it boils down to culture or local content liow. using iPhone doesn't mean they use the data features. haven't been there. so can't say for sure.

Si4dr 5th Gear February 7, 2014 Share February 7, 2014 I had Waze pre-install in my phone. Use it once awhile(for fun). So far ok even in Malaysia. Funny thing is sometime can't search the exact road name but appear when reaching near the destination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VWthinksmall Neutral Newbie February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 Im not sure if this can be used for navigation but I found this product which you can plug into your car install customised apps on. It has GPS functionalities and connects the information with your car engine. Do you think it's worth looking into? http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/clickdrive-all-your-driving-apps-in-one-box ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
