Anyone here know the effect on battery life yet? I'm using HTC sensation and battery life is really short, so need to conserve...

Erm, how to i turn off viber besides forcing it to close? I dont really want it to be running all the time, as i wont be using it all the time

Yea, but not many of my friends are on viber. Majority are using bb..so no  viber!

test 1
set icon to appear on notification bar. checked running services and viber is not there. but i'm still receiving messages,
Q1: how come viber can still be running but not listed? some sort of programming trickery? in this case, is it really running and consuming battery  but hidden to create a psychological thingy?

test 2
disabled icon from notification bar. viber not on notification bar. checked running services and viber is not there. cleared memory to close all running processes. asked friend (using Google Talk) to send me message on viber. viber comes alive... message comes in.
Q2: similar to Q1... is the service now hidden?

and test 2 would make it look like its no point exiting. messages can still come in. and the interesting thing is... how is this happening?

i'm using samsung galaxy s2 and no mod/ flashing. using original rom.

honestly... for those who are asking for online indicator... is this what you really want?

coz next thing is... you want invisible/ offline status so you can ignore ppl you dun wanna receive calls from (and only at certain times).
