Since I don't have a car, I usually walk or take a bus when using waze(So I can't charge the battery while using Waze). It looks like waze consumes too much power. I have nokia n5800. I used the phone with waze turned on, and about a 30 to 50min of using waze consumed more than half of the battery life. Backside of the phone was scorching. Waze should find a way to optimize the client with respect to Drawing screen/Frequency(method) of internet access/GPS usage.
Also, when I put the client background using menu button of the phone in order to make a call or send a message, Waze stops recording a new road. When I come back to Waze, the map shows "I didn't work while you're making a call" with discontinued road record, it continues to record a new road. Same is true when I turn off the screen with side-lock slide. First I though "OK, in this way, I can save the battery life". But of no luck. It just stops recording the new road even it was running foreground.
I planned to use Waze while I take a cross country bus, but with this battery consuming rate and inability to record in background of the system, My plan would be just a dream. I hope Waze be more optimized and convenient to use.

Totally agree. Waze could be more intelligent if it recognize "the road is already there" and treat those duplicated records as "supplement" to existing ones(not 'new road').
