Hi,
I found out that the voice call is now very low as compared to GB. I can hardly hear even though I increased the volume.
Another thing is, I am not sure if it's just cosmetic bug, if I go to call log in viber, I would see duplicated name, eg John Doe, John Doe, whilst in GB it works just fine.
I have tried to reinstall viber and still the same.
Anyone having the same issue?
have u wiped all ur data before flash or u used to update using pc companion?
I use flashtool and the wipe user data is ticked.
I do not do factory reset after flash as I think both of them are actually the same.
Did I do it wrong?

Can you check if the recent call list has duplicated entry? It's like
John Doe, John Doe
Alex, Alex
Bob, Bob
when it should be only
John Doe
Alex
Bob
I don't have this issue in GB, guess I have to try factory reset.
My Viber app is working fine in ICS call volume about the same, contact list is okay too.
recent did have duplicate name several times.
I upgrade to ICS using flashtool using wipe data. I didn't do the factory reset after and I thought that could be the culprit.
Now I have done the factory reset and viber still behave the same.
Noticeable lowered call volume (still ok if we stay in quiet environment), ear piece get hot much faster and duplicated recent (I think cosmestic bug). But then, it is still useable.
Now great, as an extra, I have all my sdcard content wiped If any kind soul to upload me the content that would be great, those demo videos, photos, mp3.

Hi,

Viber supports ICS on Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Samsung Nexus S Any other device with ICS is considered Altered, or Customized ROM.
Our recommendations to you would be to either uninstall and reinstall Viber, or to find the proper customization which works best with Viber. Of course, returning your device back to it's original settings is the best option for compatibility.
If you have any questions we'd be happy to assist.
Thank you,

I'm using REMICS ROM (android 4.0.4 based on CM9) for my Galaxy SL. Cannot add Viber account into Account & Sync, so Viber cannot sync my contacts to show my friends who using Viber. What's happening?
Viber eats a lot of background memory on my ICS plus i am having problem where i cant send pictures over unless its not taken at the xact moment. It was a lovely app but with every upgrade its breaking into pieces..It needs some fix
@duongtunglam -
Please note that at this stage we don't officially support custom ROMs with Viber. Running Viber on a custom ROM results in various side effects (sometimes total lack of functionality), but we can't afford to support all custom ROMs out there. We are continuously working to adapt Viber to more and more ROMS, but meanwhile - you might want to contact the ROM developer for further support - they may be able to resolve this issue.
@ashqmallik -
We couldn't quite understand the problem with the sending of the pictures... could you elaborate on that please?
About the battery issue: please make sure that Viber is the cause for the battery drain by isolating Viber (having no other apps running) on a device with stock ROM (custom ROMs may cause this problem).
We conduct strict testings in our labs with several devices and other than when making a call (when it is natural for the battery to be used), we did not come across any significant battery drain when Viber was simply running in the background. Furthermore, over the course of over 15 hours, on average the battery use was only 2%.
You can find additional information on tests performed by Viber users themselves, which show similar results, at:

I have searched the web and found no discussion about it anywhere, leave alone xda-developers forum.
I have an X10i running on an Android custom ROM - CM 6.3.1.
I have a very unique and strange problem in my phone which is very annoying and causing inconvenience.
All the messages (SMSes) are being threaded wrongly and randomly. That is, an SMS coming from 'A' threaded to 'B'. B's SMSes threaded to 'C'. C's SMSes threaded to sometime A and Sometime B. And A's SMS create a new thread sometimes. An SMS coming from a totally new person or source threaded either A, B or C whereas they are not at all related anyhow etc.
This may sound unique and unbelivable but i am really facing this problem since a couple of months. Before that it was working fine.
The various steps which i have already tried but got no success are :
1) Wiped out the entire depository of SMSes and started afresh.
2) Reset my phone to factory default.
3) Tried different custom ROMs or different version of a custom ROMs.
I do not understand why the phone is behaving so strangely. A help from someone will be greatly appreciated.
Don't know if this would help but did you try using Stock super vanilla 2.1 just to see what happens?

Sorry.... but would u mind explaining what is Stock super vanilla 2.1?
1. Installed History Eraser app and erased app cache, search histories, SMSes, and call logs.
2. Uninstalled native Messaging app through Titanium Back up app.
3. Rebooted and then installed another popular SMS handling app - Handcent SMS.
The problem still remain as it is.
Anyone there to take the challenge.
Has anyone tried this app on 2.3.4 ROM?
Im running CM7 #59 with GLITCH and it does not work for me.
App devs asked me to try on stock, but I don't want to go stock for this app
I can't post the link to the app being a new user, so you can look it up in the market.
"Viber : Free calls & messages"
Uninstall whatever you downloaded from the market, install this....it works for me on the same rom with glitch kernel.
http://db.tt/V3mDpKV
Still nothing with the new APK
Is there anything I can config?
Try going to settings, applications, manage, viber, clear cache and data, see if that works.
Also, tell me exactly what happens. Is it not installing or launching?
Installation is ok.
Messaging is ok.
Whenever I initiate a call, I can hear other side talking, but no one can hear me.
If I mute the call i get FC.
Tried to activate\deactivate and still nothing. Now I have to wait 24 hours for next activation
Will update tomorrow.
Hmmm....I'll look into it and try to find a solution if I have time.
ok, I'm back in.
From what I hear, the app does not work well with CM7 builds on SGS of any kind.
Developers say that they don't support any custom ROMs officially.
Unfortunately that is correct - at this stage we won't be developing support for customized ROMs.
The issue of CM7 is being discussed in our company these days, and we might decide to support specific support for CM7 (CM7 ROM is the cause for the one-sided conversation, as far as we understand).
At any rate - try contacting CM7 developers and ask them to make the necessary adaptations with Viber. They might find that the source of the problem is CM7's fault and help you out.

Is there something specific in the TouchWiz framework that you are depending on? CM7 is a stock AOSP ROM so it should be generic and so unless Viber is using TouchWiz customized framework stuff, it should work in CM7.
To be frank I don't fully know the answer to that question, but evidently there is SOME incompatibility between CM7 and Viber. Logic says that if Viber works fine on stock ROM, then it's CM7 that needs to do the adaptations.
As I said, we're looking into it and hopefully we'll have announcements soon.

Agreed, hopefully one of your users will send us logcats of what is going on if they want us to look at it.
i'll be happy to send logs but im new to logcat.
How should I configure aLogcat (from market?) and where to send the log.
I've used it for the past few days on MIUI which is based on CM7. It works great.
I had been trying for two days to fix a problem where I cannot hear the other party of a voice call until I realized that the app treats the call sound as a system sound (which I usually mute). when I turned the system sound level up, the problem was solved.

Hmm..
Could you please elaborate on that? i.e give me a step-by-step solution, so we can try and suggest it to other users of ours with CM7.
Back with some insights.
Apparently my mic is not working when Viber is running. Tried to check it on some other app, also didn't work. Ill try to follow up on that in CM forums.
P.S
Skype does work.
sound is working now.
I installed glitch incorrectly...
The viber issue is still in place

I usually set the system sound level to the lowest to avoid the noise from the startup and shutdown sounds.
When I tried to make phone calls through Viber, I couldn't hear the other party even when I tried to raise the volume up during the call (it had no effect)
so I decided to try adjusting the system sound level and see if that helps, and it helped
system volume adjustment is not an option on CM7. Well, i don't have it.

Thanks for the info.
Are you running a customized ROM?
Also, what device do you have and which Android version?
I have installed this app, and is working very well, I can call and recive and its great
Buut, there is something that I dont understand. I only want to be "online" sometimes, because when viber is On is consuming quite battery. So I go to more-> Exit. I close the app and the icon in the notification bar dissapear. But, 15 seconds after that, the icon appear again and says "viber connected". Even If the icon does not appear, they can call me so the app still active. How can I close?? because I want to save battery...I dont need to be all time online
other thing: I only use wifi for internet, dont have 3g. So, when I disconnect to any network, the viber status appear like "Viber dissconected", its normal, but I want to know If Viber still consuming my battery or not?
To finish, I have to say that I can notice the battery drain but If I go to android settings->Battery status-> what is using my battery-> here dont appear Viber, only Wifi, brightness, etc...
Thank you guys for the help
i always have viber (together with whatsapp and textfree) on when i'm on wifi and it seems to only have minimal battery drain. and it doesn't seem to be affecting my battery when it's disconnected or with wifi off.
Hi @Javi V12
This is a member of the Viber dev team.
First, as far as we know, Viber doesn't consume much battery when idling. You can test it and show us the actual numbers, and you'll see that battery drain is minimal.
About the notification bar - the new version in Market, Viber 2.0.2, has an "Exit" button that closes Viber and prevents Viber from running again. The reason you are still getting calls/texts while Viber is shut off is thanks to the C2DM mechanism (Google), that opens up applications upon certain triggers.
Thank you very much for your help.
Ok maybe the drain during idle is not too excessive, does exist drain but is normal. But I want to know, should Viber appear in the battery stats or not?
And, I can exit the app as you say, it's a good function, thank you. So if I exit the app, will consume any battery or not? Btw, even if I exit they can call me but only if I have the screen unlocked. It's strange, I suppose the reason is the c2dm that you say.
@Javi V12
You are welcome!
Viber should not appear in battery stats (just like other apps don't, at least in the devices we checked).
About C2DM - it should work even when your phone is locked (that's practically its point). We've just tested it here again on several devices, and found that it works fine.
Do you not get Viber calls/texts when your Viber is shut off, and the phone is locked?
Which device? Which Android version? (or ROM)
this might be a little out of place, but was hoping someone from the viber team can tell me if there's any social networking sites for viber where i can see the network status? viber has been down the whole morning and i hv no idea why.
based in Malaysia, on Moto Defy 2.2.2
Sure there is, on Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/viber --> we provide updates and statuses on Facebook around the clock there (and you can also consult with other users to compare problems). I recommend you to follow us there, but for more in depth discussions about Viber, you should still post messages here on XDA.
About the problem this morning - we're having temporary issues with our server - we're working hard to fix it right now. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope it will be back up and running soon.

Excellent support from you guys. I never thought viber support exist here. Great thanks for you guys and hope viber rocks in future too. Good luck.
Hello Viber Team, I'm just wondering will it ever be a way to recognize if the other viber user is on viber or not, smth like when the user is not connected and I want to call him, the viber tell me this user is not on viber now.
I hope you will understand my questions, sorry for the bad english.

Yes, there will be such option in the future (online indicator).
In the meanwhile, you can know whether or not the user is online in an indirect way: if you call someone and you see "Ringing..", that means that his phone is literally ringing - meaning he's online. If you only see "Calling.." then the user is probably offline.
If you get a message that the user doesn't have Viber installed (while you know he clearly does), then try the following workaround:
Enter Viber and find a person you know has Viber in the "All" contact list. Enter his details, change a digit, save and exit. Then enter his contact again, change the digit back (to the original, correct number), save and exit. Wait about 10 minutes and see if he's recognized as a Viber user now.
If it doesn't work, please try manually dialing the number in its FULL format (including the "+" sign, the country code, area code, etc.)
hi, sure many of you know the X-U has (or for some of us certainly has) a problem with "call lag". this is in two parts:
1) cannot answer calls quickly because sometimes cannot reach the slider, i think if phone was in deep sleep when call comes in?
2) after answering a call, you cannot hear the other person for some period of time after answering, around 5-10 seconds approx.
i have a warranty replacment XperiaU and i'm trying to decide between the newest official based roms (b.1.100? debloated etc., which i'm hoping Sony has fixed some of this (?)) and the newer, apparently fairly bug free CM10 builds here. obviously the latter means unlocking BL which i'm willing to do IF it offers any benefit (to this issue, not really bothered about other benefits, mainly trying to use it as a phone!)
not sure if this is a resource management issue as the first reports for e.g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484559
say that it had no lag, but later reports clearly say it does.
the video i saw on that thread made the phone look noticely faster than i'm used to on b.1.54
if there's some app or tweak to improve this that would be equally good.
any thoughts/advice much appreciated.
just a note this problem still present in CM11 beta builds i'm using (from macaw.pl)
changd to SmartAssv2 governor, usually about 70MB RAM showing free. not using any RAM management app other than greenify. phone actually runs pretty well otherwise on kitkat.
going to try ExDialer (not free? :/) and that RAM manager that i keep seeing recommended.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.memory.manager
see some recommendations for this also, not sure specifically what in there is helping?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard
Some say to delete call logs, anyone found that helps? anyone tried different governors etc.?
or a tweek to keep dialler in memory, like the launcher?

looks hopeful!
quick update, haven't solved this it's still a major problem with this phone, but i realised you can use the power button to wake it and then answer the call! sort of a workaround, but inelegant.
Hi, since about two months ago, Whatsapp works me how bad my s3, to the point sometimes become unusable, the keypad is hidden, the app closes when receiving messages ... And many more .. . thing I do not see normal as people with cellphone much less potent than s3, fly them.
It can be said always restore my backup about 200,000 messages, it may be for this?
It happens with all kinds of roms, cm, stock 4.3 and 4.4.2, AOSPA ...
Thanks in advance and see if anyone could shed some light on the subject.

faulty apps can often be fixed by clearing its data in settings - apps - click on whatsapp - delete data and cache
look how it works without restoring your conversations.
keep your backup in case it does not work.
