QUOTE If you did not receive your access code via SMS, our authentication system will securely provide you with your Viber access code. We will send you an automatic phone call and read out your access code. IMPORTANT: This will only work once within a 24 hour period, so please prepare to write down your access code. To receive your access code, follow these instructions: 1. Open Viber on your device ( you can download it from www.viber.com) 2. Go through the setup again, until you reach "Enter your phone number..." 3. Enter your phone number and tap on 'Continue'. 3. If you haven't received an SMS with your access code within 60 seconds, click on the ‘No Code?’ button (see image example). 4. Follow the instructions on the system. 5. Accept the automatic call and write down the given access code. 6. Enter the code into Viber to complete the set up. Voila! You can now make free Viber to Viber calls and texts. Enjoy!

It however shows them contact names correctly on the Viber's Call History. Other than that, its quite ok for now, haven't uncovered any problems yet. PS.

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	Hi again, Answers to your questions: - Yes, Viber will support MMS-like features (pics, sounds, etc) in one of our future versions. I will announce it here once we have dates. - Unfortunately, at this stage we won't be supporting HTC Wildfire, and that it is because we encountered severe issues when developing Viber on it. We apologize for the inconvenience - About the battery drain: are you sure you isolated Viber in order to determine that this is the certain cause for your battery drain? We tested it here in our labs with several devices and except for when making a call (when it is natural for the battery to be used), we didn't notice any significant battery drain. - ROMs: At this stage, we don't support custom ROMs with Viber (we might add support for SOME ROMs in the next several weeks). As you can see, running Viber on a customized ROM results in various side effects, some of which are severe, but unfortunately we can't afford to support ALL those ROMs at this stage. As I suggested in the past, you might want to contact the ROM developers and ask if any adaptations could be made there in order to support Viber. - Viber needs to run in the background in order to receive/make calls. It is a communication app, and this is what it's meant for, when you think about it.... However, according to popular user demand, we might be adding an "Exit" button soon, that'll shut off the app.

Is it just a fault on my side or is it already known to affect Android devices or perhaps even the iPhones? There is a known issue with identifying Viber contacts and we're working to fix that. In the meanwhile, please try this 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.) This post has been edited by Viber: Jul 24 2011, 04:11 PM

What does Viber do that other apps don't? why is this battery drain caused? haha... that i dont know im not a app dev... i dont know bout batt drain... i only read what other people say.. i didnt test it out specifically and record down like how long and how much it is drained... but i left it on for one night and of course the battery is drained after a night's sleep so i didnt confirm exactly is it really draining alot... but since other people says it is.. i rather not take the risk.... thanks for reading all the feedback though....

Please make sure you "isolate" Viber in regards to the battery issue, and also - soon we'll release a newer version to Market that is expected to better when it comes to battery consumption.

It is a feature planned in the future, in the works right now. For now, you have an indirect way of knowing it: if you call someone and it says "Ringing..", that means the call is literally ringing on the other side. If it only says "Calling.." that means the user is currently offline (this method has about 90% success rate). Viber.

Battery drain on Samsung Galaxy S II. Killed the battery like crazy. From morning 6 o'clock to 5pm only a few normal network calls and a few sms, the battery left one third or even less. Can't wait for the battery leak fix.

Please try rebooting, making sure NO application is running (even in the background), then trying Viber out. hi viber, thanks for your reply. it's always nice to see companies/ developers actively engaging users (or would be users). regarding data collection, yes, i m clear on that. what i meant in my earlier post is how (usually -- it may not apply to viber) messaging software/ apps usually work. the messages from one party to another is usually routed thru some servers. the concern in raised back then is in regards to this -- does the server keep copies of the messages? i guess there could be legal requirements, to do so, i dunno. but this is one concern i have (not that i'm dealing with secret agent stuffs). i know that communication via viber is now encrypted. but how easy is it to decrypt the data on the server(s)? anyway, i've installed it but have yet to 'push' my friends to start using this instead... will wait for your reply and personally evaluate before deciding on what to do next. if its any consolation -- i dunno why buy i prefer viber over whatsapp. maybe its because you guys are actively engaging users. on another note... how can we really be sure you're really representing viber?

As for battery, I usually keep Viber killed, unless I know I need it, since not many of my friends use it.

Calls are made directly P2P (they never even reach our servers to begin with), and texts go through our server, but the second they arrive at their destination, they're immediately and automatically deleted (so essentially, they are saved in the server for 0.000001 seconds) In other words - you can feel safe using Viber 2. And how can you know I'm really a company rep? You can send me a Private Message and I'll give you plenty of proof 3. Videocalls are planned, yep, but we still don't know when exactly it'll be ready. 4. The basic Viber service (calls+texts between 2 Viber users) will always stay free. About battery drain: As I said, we will soon release a version with an "Exit" button, and this might help the battery consumption issues some of you are experiencing. Also - we decided to reduce the request rate to our server, thus saving battery when your phone is idle at night. This post has been edited by Viber: Jul 28 2011, 04:20 PM

Only tried calls once, I can hear the other person but she could not hear me well. Colleague was calling son in Australia nightly and she says call quality is good. Messaging is nice and fast, like IM and SMS combined. Did not experience problems with battery as I only use it when I'm expecting someone to Viber me, and I kill it thereafter (and it stays dead). Requests: 1) landscape mode (easier to type) 2) disable the auto keyboard popup when I select a message thread to view 3) better able to detect new users in phonebook using Viber (but can add manually so not a big issue) 4) exit button (low priority) 5) ability to change notification sounds and ringtone (low priority) I'm using SE X10.

Use the device keys (the physical keys), just like you search in your native contact app. If you want to browse by letter, hold and scroll the right-most side of the screen, and the scrolling will suddenly appear with the relevant letter shown.

Please let me know. @law_yew_wooi - We don't know of a special problem with HTC Desire. Remove Viber, reboot your phone, reinstall from Market and see what happens.

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@mydragoon I understand what you mean now... There is no "secret" or programming trickery It's a service by Google called C2DM, and it's similar to Push Notifications with iPhones. This service is actually a command sent from Google's servers that can turn on certain applications on your Android. Some apps, like Viber, use this to REALLY be shut off, but still stay available for calls and texts. In short - don't worry, the battery consumption is ZERO when you Exit Viber, but it can still stay available and "come to life" with C2DM's help. About your suggestion for the contact list - we might be adding this letter scroll bar on the right side, but for now it'll stay the way you see it, since Viber's interface tries to adapt to ALL phones, not only galaxy.

aka Xyreon Senior Member 1,258 posts Joined: Sep 2008	i left my viber on for the wholeday... did not exit the app at all... and left it monitor for 24 hours... here's what i come up with... HTC Desire, MIUI-Au 1.7.29 Phone left idle and i go to sleep 6-8 hours... WiFi, 3G all off and kill apps clear cache before locking the phone and sleep (yes im seriously testing it so i follow the exact steps) without viber - 3-5% drained with viber - 4-6% drained phone normal usage whole day battery draining speed is SAME as olden days... used battery monitoring system i have in my MIUI ROM, comparing 3 alternate message apps viber taking up 1%, whatsapp 1%, liveprofile 1% for whole day... no difference... all of the three did not receive or sent any.... NOTE: i did not even EXIT Viber... so push/C2DM is working... i think i can start using viber now i dont see any HUGE difference in battery life... Never compare to whatsapp/live profile if you call using viber.. they simply do not have call service and of course talking through phone will consume battery.... That is all... i hope more people can test it out seriously and get rid of any false assumptions or misunderstandings... Cheers, YK

Updates soon, Viber. lol my test is without WiFi connection and also Data Plan... so i dont think my test is valid enough yet... because i seem to notice viber, and other alternate messaging apps i mentioned above tend to not use any battery at all when there is no connection... when there is connection then we'll have to see how frequent the app is used... so my testing is not detail let alone professional... but the fact that i do not have to EXIT the app with battery life still draining the same is something though... Im glad that viber is reading and supporting whatever we voiced out.. that itself can mean the best software out there already.. after all feedback and replies is the best for us customers.... Cheers, YK P/S:Im using MIUI and your patch is a good news.. i dont face that always but at times yes...

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@Dannyl - We haven't gotten reports of misfunctionality of the Exit button yet. Are you using a custom ROM that might be causing your problem? @Hico - Viber pops up when you receive a call/text thanks to C2DM mechanism (similar to Push Notifications in iPhone). This mechanism is used in many other apps as well, and it makes sure you are available to get texts/calls (otherwise - the point of the app is gone). In order to disable your C2DM service, please contact Google - it's run by them. On another note - could you please elaborate on the other scenario you described, with Viber running when you turn your WiFi on? @dust - Landscape mode is in the works these days. @kuro0314 - You need cellular reception only when registering, so we can send you the confirmation SMS with your code. After that, basically you can use your Viber on WiFi only. As HeartRoxas mentioned, you can also use it on 3G, but it uses MB from your data plan (0.5MB per minute of call). The amount you pay for your data is decided between you and your cell company, and has nothing to do with us. If you have a monthly pre-paid data plan, then you can use Viber freely without any concern of extra charges. WiFi, of course, is always free (and usually better for Viber calls).

We're working hard to improve these problems. - After hard work, as promised, Viber now supports some of the famous custom Android ROMs, such as CM7 and MIUI. We need your feedback in order to make sure the major problems with these ROMs are now resolved. Please make sure you download the latest version.

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@Hico - no, after you exit button, it's simply killed, it doesn't run in the background (no battery consumption). We'll look into the "auto run" of Viber that you're describing, and see if we can find this bug in our labs. What @mydragoon explained is correct. C2DM "wakes" Viber to life, but before that happens, Viber is shut off completely. @Dannyl - see answer above. About ringtones - embedded in the app itself. We also don't want our users to alter the app itself, so we are working these days on the development of the custom ringtone option. @dust - no landscape mode yet. This will be available only in Viber 2.1 (no dates yet).

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@law_yew_wooi - We assume you live in Malaysia? There is a known issue with inability to receive our SMS in Malaysia. We are currently investigating it and hoping to find a solution soon. In the meanwhile please contact our support team at http://support.viber.com and they will stay in touch with you and possibly ask for your help to test and solve this issue for the sake of all users in your country @xsaintzx - - Landscape coming soon. - Emoticons can already be added to Viber messages. You need an external emoticon app (usually defined as a keyboard), and then it should appear inside Viber's messaging page. - About the extra-confirmation: we will consider it, but we don't see a reason at this stage for making a confirmation dialog. It usually annoys most users, and to be frank, we didn't get this complaint from any other user before. We apologize for the inconvenience - Changing the ringtone is planned for the future. Not sure when exactly though.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 7,044 posts Joined: Nov 2007	just sharing some stats based on my own experience. phone: samsung galaxy s2. not rooted and running stock/ original Samsung ROM at almost new condition (meaning not many apps installed and definitely dun have any apps with background services running), the idle discharge rate was about 1% for every 35 mins. after installing more apps... background process: tweetdeck + Google reader refreshing every 15 mins; Skype, whatsapp and Viber installed. whatsapp was not running in background while i intentionally had viber running (icon on notification bar). skype, even when it was not turned on, it was actually running in the background -- that's why in the next set of data, i uninstalled skype -- i dun like apps that starts automatically, its so malware-like... idle discharge rate at this setting was at about 1% every 15 mins. after un-installing skype (while the other things remained just about the same), idle discharge rate was at about 1% every 20 mins. this was about the same for viber version before and after the exit button. ya, no significant change for me. overall, my phone's idle discharge rate is at about 1% every 20-30mins. as you can see... viber running (before and after the exit button) didn't really affect my discharge rate.

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@d3m0n - Viber for new platforms is being developed these days: Viber for Blackberry is coming soon, and even Viber for PC/Mac is being developed. In the future, we plan to expand to more and more platforms, like Symbian and WP7. @CuriOu5 - thank you for the information and the screenshots. At first you said Viber will force close immediately after install it (so you couldn't use it at all). Has this changed now? How? Also - about the new problem you described now, can you please try to elaborate on the exact steps by which we can recreate this bug? Start from the beginning, step-by-step, so we can test it here in our labs. @ryuzaki_L - it's a standard feature of many apps (for example - WhatsApp) that imports your contacts from Android's main app, and uses them in order to find other friends of yours who already have Viber (or will install it in the future). @hxcpride - About the galaxy-galaxy calls: make sure both of you are using high-speed WiFi networks, and if you are, try using a different WiFi connection (both of you) in order to isolate the problem. About Wildfire: unfortunately you are right (and we explicitly wrote that in our website). Wildfire is not 100% supported, and due to obsolete technologies it uses, Viber calls may be disrupted on it

We don't have an official release date yet, but it's definitely getting closer and closer. Viber for PC/Mac is also being discussed right now, and will probably be our next goal. Viber for WP7 and Symbian is also certainly planned, but that's probably still far away. Viber for Tablets is also in the works right now, and will hopefully be released soon to Market.

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@hxcpride We'll investigate this no TOO-TOO bug. Can you think of a trigger that started all this? Maybe a different app that you downloaded and installed? Would you be kind enough to test Viber on a clean phone (i.e reformat your phone and try it out)? We're trying to get to the bottom of this. EDIT: you know what, I have a better idea: would you be willing to help us run some tests with your help and possibly send us logs so we can find the source of this problem once and for all?

Casual Junior Member 380 posts Joined: Apr 2007 From: Malaysia	[quote=Viber,Aug 14 2011, 06:16 PM] @CuriOu5 - thank you for the information and the screenshots. At first you said Viber will force close immediately after install it (so you couldn't use it at all). Has this changed now? How? Still having the same problem with the standard froyo launcher. I have seen ditched it for launch pro. Am I the only one having that problem. If yes then it must be some other programs that I installed that causing this. Also - about the new problem you described now, can you please try to elaborate on the exact steps by which we can recreate this bug? Start from the beginning, step-by-step, so we can test it here in our labs. 1) Select the standard froyo dialer. 2) Tab on the messaging icon 3) Select Viber from the "Complete action using" pop-up screen However there is no issue when I select Viber from the ""Complete action using" pop-up screen for voice call.

We'll look into it, but most likely it's your custom ROM causing this problem, and unfortunately we can't provide support for all custom ROMs out there. If you ever get a chance to find a friend with a Galaxy Ace who doesn't has stock ROM, please give it a try and see if the problem occurs to them as well.

Really? That's the best reply you can come up with? Senior Member 3,000 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Puchong, Selangor	Hi. Any chance of making viber have landscape orientation? I'm using the HTC Desire Z and it has a physical slide out qwerty keyboard. But when I'm typing the message using it, the app doesn't reorientate to landscape, so I have to constantly twist my head to look at what I have typed.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 7,044 posts Joined: Nov 2007	ok, some items i would like to see... top of list means most important: #1. multi media support -- coz this is main gripe why all my contacts still want to use whatsapps... though its not what i really want. #2. group messaging <-- what i really want #3. video calls <-- what i would want as well #4. support for gadgets without simcard/ phone number like wifi only tablets... and pc?!? #5. landscape mode -- just make sure its implemented properly... on most cases i have seen with apps on landscape mode, keyboard covers more than half the screen and worse... the screen is not focused at the text entry box, making text entry a very much guessing game. since we're at it... quickly launch the BB version as well... so my friends have nothing else to complain!

What a coincidence i posted about landscape right before it. :-P I've only just installed Viber, but things I see missing are: 1) landscape mode 2) picture sending in messaging 3) smart dialpad, where it uses predictive dictionary to look for a contact when you key in numbers in the dialpad. 4) the option to decide what is the default tab to open everytime the app is launched 5) video call

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	I'd like to explain to all the users who requested an "online-indicator": we've taken your request into account, but you need to know that in the meanwhile you do have an indirect way of knowing who's online. When you make a Viber call, if it says "Ringing..", it means the other side's phone is literally ringing, meaning they're online. If it only says "Calling..", it probably means they're offline. Same for messaging - if you send a text and you see the "✔" sign, it means the message has been received at the other side's phone (he's online). If you only see the arrow sign, it means it's been sent from you, but pending the other side to come online (their offline at the moment). Think of Viber as a "substitute" for your real phone. When you call/text someone, you're not sure if they are currently available or not. Right?

First, make sure you have the latest version from Market. Then, you can use the "Exit" button, inside Viber's "More" tab. After that, your icon at the top should disappear. However, know that Viber shouldn't be consuming much battery when simply running in the background, and uses extremely negligible amounts of KB (less then 1KB an HOUR when idling).

When I send a message, I wait until the hourglass is replaced with an arrow. If it doesn't change to a tick sign, I know the other person is offline and he'll get the message when he's connected in Viber.

I'm not sure I understand fully what you mean.. Viber gives you the option to exit the app, and still be available to receive calls/texts. When you Exit Viber, the app itself is not even running in the background (it's completely shut off, including all of its services). C2DM takes care that if you have an incoming call/text, Viber will be "awakened" and receive it.

C2DM is a service run by Google. Google server is supposed to "wake" viber up when receiving a Viber text or Viber call, even when Viber was exited. Theoretically, it should work in 100% of the cases, but in reality - C2DM sometimes has temporary problems, and this will cause messages and calls to arrive with a slight delay. This is why we recommend our users to simply leave Viber running the background (thus relying on our own servers).

On my way Senior Member 695 posts Joined: Jan 2008	QUOTE(mydragoon @ Aug 29 2011, 08:32 AM) sorry if i was being confusing... what i meant was... we can tell if a message has been delivered or not by looking at the arrow sign. we can also tell if a call is connected by the the ringing/ calling description. usually, a message is not delivered or a call is not connected because the user has exit viber. with the c2dm, messages and calls are supposed to wake up viber and launch it, right? so, in this case, with c2dm... there should not be any more undelivered messages or calls that is not getting connected, right? or is this only a feature found on android phones...? you need to be online lah buddy.

This is about to be even lower once we release our update soon. @shark7 - When making a WiFi-WiFi call, Viber should work fine without any special problems. Please check your WiFi network and try making a Viber call with a friend when you are on a different network (this way you'll isolate the problem).

Please run a speed-test and make sure that it's actually 1mb on download AND upload (many times the upload rates are very low, and this causes Viber to give you poor quality). The good news is that in the future we plan to add a feature that'll slightly "lower" the quality of Viber calls on bad networks if it detects that the connection is somewhat choppy, thus "sacrificing" on quality in order to assure stable calls.

However, when I used viber to call my friend, it has a ringing tone on my phone, but on my friends iPhone (at the same time I called him), nothing happens, he then gets a missed call notifications from Viber.. and Vice Versa...

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	Hi all, Sorry for the late response: @Boy96 - Is any of you using Viber on a blocked WiFi network? (usually a school network, workplace network, etc.) It sounds as if the network is blocked. In order to use Viber behind a firewall, make sure the following ports are open (ingoing AND outgoing): TCP: 5242 + 4244 UDP: 5243 + 9785 @xproc - To be frank, we haven't thoroughly tested Viber on that device yet (due to the fact that it's still quite rare in the market worldwide), but we assume that it should generally work fine, with some potential incompatibility issues. We'd love for you to test it and let us know if anything goes wrong. This post has been edited by Viber: Sep 13 2011, 05:50 PM

If only these stars are edilbe Senior Member 702 posts Joined: Jul 2010 From: Malaysia , KL , wangsa maju	Hi guys , i recently downloaded and installed Viber for my Galaxy 5 . I tried calling on of the android phones Sony Ericson X10 , it works fine but when i tried calling the same model as mine (The Galaxy 5) , the other party who owns the Galaxy 5 can't receive my calls . And after i pressed the "end call" in Viber . The other party's Galaxy 5 received a miss call . But previously , didn't even hear a ringing sound or any notification sounds for a call coming in when i tried calling . We tried again , but this time the other party called me through Viber , the same result appears , no ringing and just shows a "Miss Call" on my phone screen after the other party pressed the "end call" in viber . I am sure that me and the other person did not put on "Silent" or "Vibrate" on our phones . Need ur help here on the issue . I can call other models of phones using android and the other person can receive my call successfully . But i can't reach/call the same model of my phone , can call , but the other person's phone does not show any "Incoming Calls" . Thanks

Once the recipient got the message, it's immediately deleted from our servers. If the destination user is online and received the message, it's never stored in our servers even for a second.

Among the new features: - A whole new sound codec, offering higher voice quality, better support for Viber calls on 3G networks and interrupted internet connections. - Photo sharing inside Viber text messages. - Viber text messages are now location-aware, meaning you can share your current whereabouts with each and every Viber message that you send. - Viber now supports iOS5. - Viber now supports Landscape mode. - And many more new features and bug fixes. Should you have any questions regarding this new version or about Viber in general, please do not hesitate to ask. the Viber Team. This post has been edited by Viber: Oct 13 2011, 12:26 AM

Rest of UI refuses to go to landscape when tilted. Deliberate or bug? For now it's deliberate, and we plan to expand Landscape mode to more and more pages in the future (implementing it on message screen was naturally the most crucial feature).

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 7,044 posts Joined: Nov 2007	noticed some quirks when using the new version on Samsung Galaxy S2. #1. message notification within viber does not go away properly. i was replying to my contacts via viber. then closed the apps (not exit). when i opened viber, there was notification for new messages (the small number icon above the message icon) -- but they were not new ones. i have already viewed it earlier when i was having the text conversation with my contacts. #2. something similar also happened with the phone's notification (top of the screen). i was having a text conversation with a contact. the notification at the top of the screen did not go away. it still indicated a few messages not read. clicking on that notification did not remove them. i had to open viber, click on the messages to clear it.

No SMS from viber after I entered my number. try the voice call one but the sound wasn't clear and I'm unable to hear the code number. Now have to wait 24 hours before I can get another code. Is there anyway around it? SGS2, stock ROM, android 2.3.3 This post has been edited by Shizuru: Oct 20 2011, 01:14 PM

aka Xyreon Senior Member 1,258 posts Joined: Sep 2008	Thanks viber for always listening to users man. Yeah i know some Nver LNE app is out and people are saying it's better and all but please, battery consumption and RAM usage more than viber, not stable, some cant call, many dont get verification. Good things? Better VOIP quality no doubt. And more emoticons and sticky and better interface. (which is why the iphone fellas are like WOW THIS IS THE BEST BETTER THAN WHTSPP...) they did not even port to android properly. So Viber guy. THANKS A LOT of course. But if people are not recognizing you guys, I dont know why. maybe you need to see what's with the sound quality of viber compared to LNE. cause viber has more noise i can confirm that. But i dont care at least Viber can call without problems. LNE cant even call for me. (i tested the VOIP quality on my gf's phone, not mine) Lastly, maybe more emotes or interface tweaks or maybe ringtone change. All in all i still think viber is best for me now since 2.1.2 because of A2SD and much more stable.

We are aware of the occasional noise on our new sound engine, and we're working to fix it these days. Customization options (changing ringtones and adding emoticons) will probably be added in the future, but we still don't know exactly when. I'll let you know, as always, once it's ready. Meanwhile, you can add emoticons inside Viber texts through an external app, for example Emoji.

aka Xyreon Senior Member 1,258 posts Joined: Sep 2008	actually i dont care much about emoticons, im one that use very less to none emotes because i wan things quick and straight to the point. i use none but this =x (haha). it's just im wondering why people are saying L*NE is the solution for call and messaging apps when there is so many bugs in their port. i was suggesting that maybe people like these apps with better emotes or interface or things like that. just my suggestion. To me, a2sd, batt life, ram usage, more technical things like that interest me more. See i dont choose android for nothing =) (oh ya i use this emote occasionally too haha) anyway keep up the good work. Cheers.

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	Well, Emoji is a completely separate app than Viber. The fact that emoticons work on Viber is simply because Viber allows using iPhone's native keyboards. Once Emoji is configured as a legitimate keyboard, there is no reason why specifically Viber wouldn't allow using it. After you install Emoji and go through the keyboard configuration process (check out this quick guide: http://www.cultofmac.com/37959/enable-the-...os-4-0-how-to/) then reboot your phone. Then, open Viber, and check if emoticons are finally there. If not, check your iPhone native text app. Do you have emoticons there? Are they sent fine when you text normally?

Didn't notice I was replying in the Android thread If the emoticons don't show up on your native Android text app, then unfortunately it's out of our hands (Viber)... Try contacting Android or threads that deal specifically with those emoticon apps on Android.

Thanks for the suggestion. At this stage we prefer leaving the time stamp status as it is (if you notice, it's just like the iPhone time stamp configuration, meaning there is an interval of less than 10 minutes before messages, we don't write the time stamp). This might change in the future if it becomes a popular demand

It will show in Accounts & Sync for a while, then disappears.. even if I manually add it back, it will disappear. That means my contacts will not show their viber in the contacts view.

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@steventsc - Please note that Viber does not officially support Xperia SE Arc, and that may be the source of the Bluetooth problem. Anyway, we'll take a look and see if we can find the source of the problem, but I can't really guarantee when that will happen About the no-sync issue, assuming it's not an incompatibility issue again: 1. Are you running a custom ROM or stock? 2. Did you try reinstalling Viber and let it sync when connected to a different WiFi network? @wama1go - We haven't received any reports of battery consumption or lag from other S2 users. Please make sure that Viber is the cause for the battery drain. 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 came 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, which show similar results, at: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1625174#r30755699 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1965357/+220

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 7,044 posts Joined: Nov 2007	some additional feedback: * when i get notification for new messages, i usually read them by clicking on the notification. it normally brings me to the message -- though sometimes in brings me to an old message. plse look into this. * related to the above... after reading the messages (clicking on notification), naturally, we press the 'back' button on the phone and expect to go to viber's main screen (where we can then choose the diff tabs like contacts, messages, etc). but it does not do that. pressing back will exit viber. the reason why sometimes i press back is because notification tells me i have a few messages from different contacts. after reading the messages from one contact, i wanna press back to go back to main screen and then select the new unread messages from my other contacts. * when are you guys going to have multi-party chat? viber is still not heavily used by my group of friends because we can't chat together. we're now using whatsapps more than viber. sadly, viber is now only used when i wanna make voice calls...

Hmm.. this is more of a suggestion than a bug, but please note that other sides clearly prefer it to be the other way - they say that when pressing "Back", they want to go to the page where they previously were, and not to Viber's main screen. I'll pass on the request and your explanation, but sometimes we have to go with what the majority asks for.. 3. It's actually under development these very days. We still don't know exactly when it will be ready, but we're doing our best so it happens soon

If you'd like Viber to have your new number as its identifier, you'll have to re-register.

There is another app on your Android (or a widget, etc.) that possibly collides with Viber, causing it to slow down. 2. A custom ROM or Kernel may be affecting Viber. Did you make sure it's not one of these two options?

HTC Desire Z (Gingerbread 2.3.3) p/s: my friend is using SGSII is also facing this issue. So this might not be an isolated bug after all. Can you tell us moer about the "hang" you mentioned? Because so far i've encounter nothing of such. 2.1.2 is the version that makes me finally install viber forever in my phone and now it has saved me from topping up for 3 months already. (no i dont use a data plan) I uses a custom kernel and also a custom ROM (MIUI-Au) so it should be one of the apps that is clashing with viber. I suggest using "Quick System Info Pro" (Download free from market) and look at the apps list. Then maybe tell us all the apps here so that the viber personnel can check for you. Since you say your friend is using, then maybe both of you see which app you both have the same and list it out. Or if you're confident enough, suggest a suspicious app. Good luck. What i encounter though is viber suddenly puts down my call half way. Which it dont happen all the time and i dont think it's viber's issue (but if it is, tell me). Most probably a connection (being too poor) issue. Since im sharing my line with other 5 person.

Q1. sometimes, i see viber listed here... sometimes i don't. why? i have not done anything and it just appeared again (right now). this morning, it wasn't there. Q2. when i expand the viber, it has a checkbox for "all contacts". what does this do? Q3. previously, viber would be merged automatically with my existing google contacts. but after wiping my phone and reinstalling, i noticed sometimes it becomes viber listing becomes a separate entry on its own -- i have to merge the contacts manually. why? Q4. i noticed lately (could be the recent version), i get black screen every now and then. i end up having to kill the viber task and then restarting it. Q5. i also noticed the viber icon dun appear on the notification tray any more. previously, it would appear there...

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	Hi everyone, I apologize for my delayed response: - There was a temporary issue with our servers which should be fully fixed now. Please try it out and make sure everything is working well @mydragoon - It's important to note that Galaxy Note is only 'similar' to S2, but not quite the same. Little tweaks and differences than the original S2 could well be the source of the problem. 1. This is a known issue to us that should be fixed on the upcoming Viber 2.1.3 (make sure your contacts have 2.1.3 as well). Once release, please report back to me if it was indeed fixed or not. 2. Please add a screenshot, I'm not sure I fully understood. 3. This could be a Galaxy Note issue, we haven't encountered it thus far. You are welcome to contact our support team (forum user section) and report this issue with screenshots: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0 4. This could have many (many) reasons, some of which might not even be related to Viber itself (but rather - the Kernel, the ROM, other apps colliding with Viber, etc...). See if Viber 2.1.3 helps you with that in the future. 5. This can be set inside Viber's settings. You can toggle the icon on/off. @xsaintzx - I am not sure I fully understood the problem. Please explain it step-by-step so I could provide assistance

If yes i would like to share that android does not need any task killing, its multitasking is not the same as other OS. So please uninstall any task killer apps and refrain from killing apps manually so that viber will always be working in the background with C2DM. Cheers.

Only after I turned on the locked screen, connected to the Internet, then only I saw missed calls from Viber. Was this caused by installation of juice saver app e.g. 2x battery? Did anyone experience this?

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@e_finale - According to what you're saying, when your screen is locked, juice saver actually disconnects you from the internet. While your phone is disconnected, then naturally there is no way for Viber to know if you're being called. Viber, like all communication apps out there, needs to be online to receive calls/text messages. @mynewuser - That's a nice suggestion. I'll pass it on here in the company and we'll see what we can do

Anyhow just now after my phone has been in idle mode for more than half an hour, when I turned on my screen then I saw Viber icon was in transparent purple instead of purple. It only turned back to purple after I went into Viber (I didn't exit from Viber anyway). Does it mean Viber was disconnected?

New Member Junior Member 18 posts Joined: Jun 2007 From: Nibong Tebal, Penang	Hi Viber support, I'm using Samsung Galaxy S2. Using original shipping ROM 2.3.6 from samsung as well. I do encounter few problems... 1) It freeze the phone occasionally, even when picking-up Viber call. sometimes it just pop-out force-close. Not mistaken, it did freeze up my phone after got it installed on 1st-launch. 2) Very soft volume, I've already maximized all volume in Setting->Volume, still very soft when making call using Viber. How to judge how soft is it. Almost un-hearable. sometimes it goes loud for "a" second, then goes back soft. Tried 3G/3.5G/Wifi network, all same. 3) Certain contact unable to sync, and do realized it messed-up to contact log as well. eg. Viber call become ordinary call in goggle call-log? ~Hoping to see improvement in later versions.Thanks... This post has been edited by kimtatt: Dec 18 2011, 09:57 AM

We hope that with the translated version ready, even more Malaysians will install and enjoy Viber. @kimtatt - Thank you for the report. About issues 1 and 2 - I kindly ask you to report it to our support team. With the info you give them they will look into the problems and hopefully be able to solve it soon. Here's the direct link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0 About issue 3 - First, Viber call logs are logged as "regular" calls on external call loggers because this is currently the expected behavior. We might separate Viber calls from the others in the future. About users who are not recognized as Viber users, please try the following workaround: Open Viber and find a person you know who has Viber in the "All" contact list. To reboot synchronization, change a digit, save and exit the contact list. Open contact again, change the digit back to the original, correct number, save and exit. Wait for approximately 10 minutes and see if the contact is now recognized as a Viber user. If this doesn't work, please enter Viber's DialPad and try to manually dial the number in its FULL format (including the "+" sign, the country code, area code, etc.)

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@Xabrius - Viber's new sound engine (assuming both users have version 2.1.x and above) decides automatically, and according to the network's speed, how much bandwidth it will use. the average is about 0.3MB per minute of call. Unfortunately there is no way to manually set the bitrate, but you can try searching for another WiFi nearby (or a closer spot to the AP) where you'll get better reception.

As you know, many fundamental changes were made on ICS (not only visual improvements). In order to adapt Viber to ICS the best way, and make sure we don't release a half-baked app, we need some time for developing and testing. Our estimation is up to several weeks, but again - we don't want to guarantee anything for certain at this stage. Once I have any news, I'll keep you posted.

New Member Newbie 1 posts Joined: Jan 2012	QUOTE(Viber @ Oct 12 2011, 04:31 PM) Viber texts are "stored" (encrypted of course) in our servers for up to 2 weeks only if they are pending delivery to the destination user. Once the recipient got the message, it's immediately deleted from our servers. If the destination user is online and received the message, it's never stored in our servers even for a second. Added on October 12, 2011, 11:47 pmHi everyone, We are excited to announce that the long-anticipated Viber 2.1 has just been released to AppStore and Market! Among the new features: - A whole new sound codec, offering higher voice quality, better support for Viber calls on 3G networks and interrupted internet connections. - Photo sharing inside Viber text messages. - Viber text messages are now location-aware, meaning you can share your current whereabouts with each and every Viber message that you send. - Viber now supports iOS5. - Viber now supports Landscape mode. - And many more new features and bug fixes. Should you have any questions regarding this new version or about Viber in general, please do not hesitate to ask. the Viber Team. Could Viber send a wrong location, when someone clicks on the 'location' button (triangulair image) in the 'text input window'? My girlfriend activated this 'location' thing (accidentally, I guess) and when I checked afterwards, it showed her 'normal' location (her work place), but she claimed she was somewhere else at that time (8 hours drive away from there, in a very small village, where there was maybe no good way for Viber to find the exact location, so it might have sent the last one known - in cache, or so). Would help me a lot to find out if she's speaking the truth...

GPS needs a few good seconds to get an accurate fix (provided you have a clear view of the sky, no interruption like roofs etc) i am not sure how viber's locating system works, but to get an accurate location, viber have to set a an argument for the gps to get a full fix(or accurate within 100m) before recording the location info for it to be more reliable. personally, i do not really use this feature, so i am not sure how good it is

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	Hi all, About GPS inaccuracy - indeed, as mentioned above, Viber uses the phone's native GPS abilities in order to send/receive locations. There may be a slight margin of error, depending which tower captures your location. viber has no control of this. The information received by the tower is then displayed back to your device within Google maps. The margin of error may be 1 to 100 meters +/-. Within large populated areas, with stable state-of-the-art GSM capabilities, the location awareness will have a greater accuracy. @mydragoon - Please make sure both sides have the latest version of Viber installed. @Hico - About the first problem - please try to uninstall Viber then reinstall (from Market). Does the problem persist? About the soft-volume problem - it sounds more like a problem with your friend's device, not yours. What device is he using? Is he using a Custom ROM? Also, did HE make sure his volume settings are all the way up?

I reported the problem directly to their support team via email and they say it is fine on their end. they did say that the next update would be more stable so finger crossed! @Viber how does the location info works? does it search for location actively(via real time cell tower triangulation or via GPS)? or does it do this passively(via last cached location data)? thanks!

Viber does not use GPS, it uses the triangular 3G services when you are connected to 3G, and WiFi location abilities when connected to WiFi. Hi Viber Support, I supposed this fix also include all galaxy device? Actually I have also noticed some issues and just posted on your web as below : "I am using viber with galaxy S2, when i use my wired headset, my friend complaint to me the volume is way too soft. I have verified and checked that there's no problem with my phone (with sound recording, replay back was loud without viber, and even tried with another headset), even normal call with headset is loud and clear. I believe this is a bug on viber and some user complaint this before, please advise support?" I am not sure if this headset issue is similar to what you have fixed in 2.1.3? Apart from that, I have few bug reports & suggestions: 1-sometimes when i launch viber, it's hanging for a while, before allowing me to message, this happens randomly and gives me the impression that the program is not optimized, or unstable. My S2 is unrooted set ,and believe many users also reported this. Any fix planned? 2-sometimes when a user goes offline, and i sent them some pic(Android to Iphone) ,after they came online, and they are unable to retrieve the pic, only see a grey camera box, why? 3-suggestions: A-please add option to select different viber message and calling tone, possible? B-any plan for releasing group chat, video call? this will be good enough to kill off Tango and Skype C-for sharing of image, can please add more option to allow user to send anytype of file, let's say let user to browse via astro file manager and choose any file they wish to send? D-existing foto sharing is good , but please add in also option for zooming the foto via pinching. Hope to hear from you soon, thanks for the great piece of software, hope to hear Viber keep improving! This post has been edited by wama1go: Jan 13 2012, 10:55 PM

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	We have responded to your S2 headset problem in the other forum where you responded About the other issues: 1. We actually haven't encountered this report from other users, at least not frequently. Try isolating the problem but testing it right after a reboot of the phone, with no other apps running. Does it still occur? 2.The photo delivery issues are known to us, but the specific scenario you described could be helpful to our support team in order to replicate the problem and hopefully fix it. Please report it here: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0 3. A. this feature is under development B. Group chat is currently under development. Video calling is certainly on our list, but unfortunately we still don't know when exactly it will be ready. C. We are considering to add an option to send just any file, but this also requires securing those files (so people won't use Viber to send malicious things), and so it could take more time than usually expected. Once we have news on that, I'll keep you posted. D. Thanks for the suggestion. We'll take it into account Thanks for all your reports and suggestions. We're really happy to see users like you, who are involved and contributing. This is how you can make a difference and help us shape Viber according to user demand

Any fix planned? this is the exact issue that i reported to the Viber team via email and this started to happen in Viber 2.1.2, the version before that was a smooth sail. @Viber it'll be great if you can make it easier for end users to provide feedback directly to Viber, perhaps a feedback section under 'More'. I am sure more users would be able to provide valuable feedback to you guys keep up the great work! edit: it'll be great if the viber team can wotk with the dev of this app to solve this issue, thanks! http://code.google.com/p/callmeter/issues/detail?id=514 This post has been edited by azrash: Jan 17 2012, 06:33 PM

Currently we prefer keeping our support to the users personal and "frontal", meaning we reach out to forums and blogs, and also wait for users to come to our Facebook page and very public HelpDesk. It is common that using this method makes users look for existing solutions first, and only then turn to contact us. So it's a win-win situation @more69 - Still working on it, and we hope that the next version will be compatible (but we can't guarantee it at this stage). Stay tuned for news and updates on our Facebook page or HelpDesk (or you could check back with me here, of course). This post has been edited by Viber: Jan 18 2012, 08:49 PM

Now when you are asked to type in your number, choose Malaysia and enter your phone number in its Malaysian format (don't type in the "+60", because that's already accounted for in the country code you chose above). Is it working now?

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	Hi @stevenlee - At this stage, 1 Viber number can be assigned to only 1 device simultaneously. This means that registering Viber on 2 different devices requires 2 different phones to receive our SMS with code or the automated call. This means that your phone and your Tablet will have different Viber identities (numbers, essentially), so collision between them is not possible Unfortunately, you'll have to find another phone number (for example - your home number) in order to register Viber on your Tablet. In the future we plan to allow the option of having the same Viber number on multiple devices, but it's still quite far away. Once we have concrete news on that, I'll let you know

Tried to reinstall, delete, wait a few days and none is working. Test with both Stock and Custom ROM, both giving the same issue. A few common issues are: 1. I select Malaysia (+60) and after sometime, it will auto change to another country randomly. 2. After manage to activate, phone will get deactivated again and Viber will prompt a message saying that the device has been deactivated and would need to reactive back. I only using 1 number on 1 device FYI. 3. SMS or call code given is not working (probably because my country code is changed automatically for some funny reason by Viber app). What do you advise? I am assuming that Viber database is storing my number wrongly which causes this. Can't think of anything else besides this problem.

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@nicregi - Thank you for the detailed information, it's very helpful in understanding the problem. About the deactivation - Please check your IMEI number (universal device identification number) inside the phone's "About" page. Once you found it, please compare it with the real IMEI number that's written on the back of your phone. Some custom ROMs override the original IMEI you had when you received your phone, and this is the cause to the deactivation problem. We plan to provide a fix for this issue soon (Viber 2.1.3) by collecting all the problematic IMEI's from our users, and manually whitelisting them. If you'd like to make sure yours is also included in the list, you can let me know what IMEI is written in the "About" page, so we make sure it's going to be included in our fix. About the random changing of the registration number - In order to check this, we'll need the actual numbers (there might be a bug causing the number to alter). If you want, you can send me your real number in private message, and then also a few different examples of what the number changed to.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 7,723 posts Joined: Jan 2005	@Viber, always thanks for frequently response here in forum. ICS announced in 19 October; Current version Viber available in market is 2.1.2.116554 & last updated is October 12, 2011. We're understand that Viber will not release in half bake next version but Viber would like to ensure the stability and full functional as mentioned or explain before in this thread. But it's already no update since October last year (3 months+), taking too long develop time might not acceptable; We're appreciate if Viber development team able to ramp up and expedite on some new features request, compatibility fix for certain phone model & ICS of course. else, maybe estimated timeline commit will be great. waiting for 2.1.3 as promised. thanks and always support Viber.

We should have an official announcement regarding Viber for ICS soon

New Member Junior Member 5 posts Joined: Sep 2011	I have an Xperia Arc handset. I tried making a call through Viber. It works fine on loudspeaker and the in-built speakers of the phone but when I tried using the original handsfree that comes with the phone, I can hear my friend clearly but my friend can barely hear me. Does anyone else face this issue or it is a hardward failure?

New Member Junior Member 5 posts Joined: Sep 2011	Yeah, I just came across the official viber thread. Thanks. I tried the sonic gear earpump headset and it solves the problem. But then I am using the phones built-in mic. As for the original headset, I tried using it to call dirently and it works just fine. Even for line also the volume is loud and clear. But for viber its very soft even on maximum in-call volume.

New Member Junior Member 5 posts Joined: Sep 2011	Apparently I think there is a bug while using Viber on Xperia Arc. I can hear the opposite side loud and clear but they can barely hear my when I am on handsfree. The handsfree works just fine for direct calls. Anyone encounter this? Xperia Arc users?

Getting Started Junior Member 160 posts Joined: Jun 2011	@michael_1991 - Thanks for the report. Viber does support most Bluetooth/headset devices in general. However, some are not supported, due to the restrictions within the phone itself (sometimes certain iPhone/Android features or external devices do not function smoothly with 3rd-party applications). We have fixed Viber in our lastest versions so MOST of the BT/headset devices can work, but unfortunately some others are just not fully compatible. In order for us to take a look at this issue and hopefully fix it in the future, I kindly ask to report it to our support team here: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 7,044 posts Joined: Nov 2007	dear viber... honestly, the apps have got potential but sadly, i find the development taking a bit too long and it would seem the focus is not what i'm looking forward to... what i mean is... i'm looking for an apps that can: * cover as many user base as possible (meaning more friends can be on it) * allow different type of communication (voice, text, video calls, video sharing, etc) * bring me closer to my contacts -- communication option such as group chat as it is... there are many other options out there that can already meet the above requirements... and sadly... and i've noticed my use of viber over the past 2-3 weeks have been none. yea, i've started using other apps while waiting for the features to be developed and made available... and the rate my friends are using viber... its probably just going to collect dust or get uninstalled eventually. no offence... just sharing what i'm going thru...

Well, You have to remember that there are millions of Viber users out there, all of whom are requesting features that to them seem critical. We're doing our best to live up to everyone's expectations, and you can rest assured that more new, cool features are coming soon. We can't guarantee, however, when exactly, and that we'll beat ALL other applications out there in all of the aspects concerned. Simply because we have limited resources..

Enthusiast Senior Member 800 posts Joined: Oct 2007	QUOTE(Viber @ Jan 15 2012, 06:11 PM) We have responded to your S2 headset problem in the other forum where you responded About the other issues: 1. We actually haven't encountered this report from other users, at least not frequently. Try isolating the problem but testing it right after a reboot of the phone, with no other apps running. Does it still occur? 2.The photo delivery issues are known to us, but the specific scenario you described could be helpful to our support team in order to replicate the problem and hopefully fix it. Please report it here: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0 3. A. this feature is under development B. Group chat is currently under development. Video calling is certainly on our list, but unfortunately we still don't know when exactly it will be ready. C. We are considering to add an option to send just any file, but this also requires securing those files (so people won't use Viber to send malicious things), and so it could take more time than usually expected. Once we have news on that, I'll keep you posted. D. Thanks for the suggestion. We'll take it into account Thanks for all your reports and suggestions. We're really happy to see users like you, who are involved and contributing. This is how you can make a difference and help us shape Viber according to user demand hi,just wondering when will it be available for customised ringtone? It has been long awaited for this features
