    I've killed the Waze app and didn't run it for more than a day or two and when I looked at the device logs I found out this line:
    "Waze[222] <Warning>: <Google> ACTAutomatedUsageReporterPrivate: sending ping"
    If I understand correctly, this means Waze is still running, and using my Data plan and maybe my GPS as well, and who knows what else it sending.
    This probably affects my battery life.

    Is there a way to turn it off? if not please upload an update and stop using my phone when the app is killed

    thanks
    Nadav
