It's the latest version of Viber. Uninstall it and wait for next version or install a previous version

I think you are seeing proximity sensor, which can glow red sometimes, it is normal

With the latest version of Viber, the proximity sensor doesn't turn off when you close the app. It stays on causing battery drain. Uninstall it or roll back to a previous version

You guys are right, it's viber! Why is it doing that? It was practically like that the whole day today. Did it harm the sensor being on all day?

you can try the camera firmware update in samsung apps.
there is hope for you that the firmware fixes it
ps at work 5 ppl including me have the SGS2 and one had to turn it back to the shop
after 3 days of using the camera had only a black screen and the buttons on the screen were freezing.
a hardreset and the firmware update for the camera didn't fix it.
I have the latest software of camera....and its not always...in d morning it was running widout problem...

How much battery life do you have left when it shuts down? The video on the sgs2 does not work below a certain percent (10 or 15%). Is your phone barry at this level when it stops recording?

check the location for which the app is showing weather and time for.
for some reason it's not always very good at updating your current location.

check lightflow in the accessibility settings.
if done already to go lightflow settings > uncheck enable lightflow > close app.
open light flow again and enable lightflow.
