• DUDU OS

  • Waze on startup.

I must admit that I don't know. I use Google Maps and Magic Earth in my main PIP (depending the reason for my travel). I also start my phone hotspot upon the bluetooth connection between my phone and my unit.
Both google Maps and Magic Earth have no issues. There is some cached map data and GPS simply works, and after some seconds, after WiFi connection, they both do work over WiFi and use WiFi.
They are "auto correcting" on WiFi.

dogsfoot I have Waze setup to start on startup on Mekede Dudu7 head unit and sometimes it starts with no roads showing on the screen and no internet connection.

Does Waze not auto-correct? I consider that a bug. What if your phone currently doesn't have internet? Is Waze also empty and does it not auto-correct once WiFi or your data is restored?

Edit: Waze doesn't have offline data as it is completely cloud-based, but it downloads map tiles from the last route. If you start from the last position, it must show that cached map tile(s). If it is empty, this cached data is obviously removed.

    surfer63 I already wrote before: Start Waze via a Task, but use a 10-20 seconds delay. Then the WiFi is enabled. Please read the posts before your post.

    First: If I buy an Android unit for 500€ - I want one of the most used navigation app like Waze to work - without having to learn user made scripts with tasks to make it work. I have another 200€ unit and Waze work on that.
    Maybe it’s some config in DUDU7 or Waze have a bug - I don't know, But I hope it will be fixed.

    I read your statement it could be fixed with tasks. For me, that not the permanent solution, just a temporary fix. That's why I wrote, to clarify how the problem was in my setup.

    My layout in DUDU7 is the 3 Apps you can have side-by side, One of them is Waze.

    I been looking at Tasks today. I try make something like this:

    Add Task:
    Trigger Conditions: System Boot
    Delay: 6s
    Action to be Performed: Open the APP
    The APP Associated with the Event: Waze

    It makes a delay, but then open Waze over the hole screen. Not as one of the 3 apps.
    How do I make the task?

        Dan-LS It makes a delay, but then open Waze over the hole screen. Not as one of the 3 apps.
        How do I make the task?

        I mentioned one post up that I don' t know.

        I now agree this is a dudu issue.
        I installed Waze on my phone and opened it. After the necessary "allow this and that" I got a map and could scroll the map.
        Then I closed Waze, deactivated Wifi and data, and restarted Waze. In that case I do have quite a big map tile.
        If Dudu doesn't do that, it is indeed a dudu issue.

          Dan-LS if you use that task you created, you could then add another task to return to the launcher screen at 10 seconds. Does that help?

            It should just work.. Should not need tasks etc....
            Come on Dudu, fix this issue....

            Waking the car from hibernation Waze starts before the car is connected to the Internet and has problems.
            If you restart the car and turn it on, there's no problem with Waze following the picture-in-picture mobilization, is that right?

              DUDU-Meng Yes. On first start up Waze has no streets and no connection to wifi/ 4g connection.
              restarting headunit and waze connects every time.

                I assume that when the nokill would work correctly, you could also add Waze to the nokill list. In that case it would not be re-initiated coming out of deep sleep and thereby losing its cache data.
                But nokill doesn't work (yet?) for PIP apps.

                Is it because the machine wasn't connected to the internet when Waze started?
                Or is it because of the hibernation wakeup?

                I've the same problem so this is a major problem which Dudu should consider to fix a.s.a.p.

                  Don' t say you have the same problem.
                  Describe your exact problem. Then the developers can hopefully do something about it.
                  Below some scenarios. Please answer and please describe if there are still other scenarios.

                  Waze on reboot in PIP window without WiFi (not active yet) -> Is Waze empty or does it used cached data from last trip?
                  Waze on reboot in PIP window after WiFi has established -> Is Waze functioning normally (again)?
                  Waze after deep sleep/hibernation in PIP window without WiFi -> Is Waze empty or does it used cached data from last trip?
                  Waze after deep sleep/hibernation in PIP window after WiFi has been established -> Is Waze functioning normally (again)?
                  If Waze is manually started full screen after reboot, but without WiFi -> Is it empty or does it used cached data from last trip?
                  If Waze is manually started full screen after deep sleep/hibernation, but without WiFi -> Is it empty or does it used cached data from last trip?

                      I didn't know that you're a moderator now. The Thread start is fully describing the problem and I do have the exactly same problem. I don't like to fill the thread with the same thing repeated over and over again. Thread start is enough.

                          I tested some stuff and the way it works for me as a temporary workaround:

                          Waze starts automatically as primary PiP/Nav App > gets killed by tasker 5 secs after boot > Waze starts again using the "Tasks" function in Dudu Settings "Other" 7 secs after ignition.

                          The thread start does not describe whether it happens in PIP or not. It says "setup to start on startup": If it is a PIP app, you don't have to mention that. Tasks are setup on startup.
                          I could go on what has not been mentioned in the first post and "all" the possible other issues that have been mentioned after. That as such is not a problem, but users only saying they have the same issue do not help in specifying the issue. And please note that on this forum all kind of languages by all kind of international users are used.
                          You have to be specific to not get things lost in translation.

                              surfer63 Waze is set to start as main PIP app.

                                  dogsfoot If you reboot the device directly, is Waze normal after booting?

                                      DUDU-Meng Yes. 99% of the time a reboot start waze with internet connection.

                                          dogsfoot Not restarting the app, I'm talking about restarting the machine.

                                              DUDU-Meng Yes, so am I

                                                I have very similar problem. Each time I start Waze (pip) without internet connection (I have sim card installed but often I park in underground garage without cellural signal) it takes very long time (like 10 minutes) for Waze to connect to internet. Usually it hangs and it's faster to reboot radio.
                                                If internet is present when radio boot, there is no problem.
