Hey there viber

Hi,

Ive been waiting for the App for soo long to come onto android, i know the team is very busy with all VAST amounts of people that are signing upto the BETA each day. i know it would take some time, but i have one question once the beta version is avaible to use on the Android device will the App be able to "Call" other users that are on Apple OS i.e. the Iphone or will the BETA version only work with Android to Android devices.

Regards,

Akaashxx93

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
After subscribing at http://eepurl.com/bW1Ln you simply need to wait several weeks from our invitation email. Once you get it, you will be asked to fill out a form verifying the same details as the original subscription, and then you will be sent to download the APK and complete your installation.

If you get the APK without following this *exact* procedure (in the exact order I wrote it), you will NOT be able to activate.

A little more patience is needed :)

While I'm at it:

I have A message only to those of you who are already testing our Beta version of Android:

What's new?

- GSM interruption problem has been resolved, and other bug fixes.

- Notification icon is back, and optional this time.

- Battery consumption has been improved.

- Viber is now integrated into Android's main contact list.

- Synchronization of Viber contacts has been improved

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
As I wrote in my last message above, it may take up to several weeks (our waiting list is very long).

If you followed the subscription process *exactly* as I wrote it, you should wait for out invitation email, and only once your details are confirmed, you will be able to complete your setup and get the code. Patience please :)

Hi.

I signed up for betatester 6 may, and have still not got a activationcode...:mad:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cruzin_cruzing:
Beta invites are very limited, didn't get a response until more than a month after signing up. My advice is either to be patient and wait for an invite, or wait until the actual release, which still involves patience.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] murre87:
too bad. just wait then. Waited more than a month now
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cruzin_cruzing:
Look out for windows, I got my break when I saw an article for beta invites on Droid-Life.com. Check out some Android blogs for any kind of beta testing.

Here's something you might want to try out:

@cruzin_cruzing

Hi,

I have an unrelated question:

When in the States, let's say you and a friend are in the same area code (let's say 526, randomly).

How would you dial your friend's number?

1. +1-526-XXX-XXXX

2. 526-XXX-XXXX

3. XXX-XXXX

Which of the three?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cruzin_cruzing:
1. +1-526-xxx-xxxx

2. 526-xxx-xxxx

3. Xxx-xxxx
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Now the real problem is what happens in other countries where they have the +1 country code (like Jamaica).

Do they dial the same way, or can they only dial the 7-digit numbers?

Do you happen to you, or can refer me to anyone who might know?

Thanks,

Viber.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cruzin_cruzing:
I'm not so sure, but wouldn't it be the same as +1-526, so then it would it be +1-876 (Jamaica).
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Well, the thing is - ALL of Jamaica is +1-876, so essentially they have a 4-digit country code. I was wonder whether or not it is possible (or even obligatory), if you're calling domestic inside Jamaica, to dial only the 7-digit subscriber number.

In order to activate your Viber-for-Android beta, you'll need to go through the following process:

* Subscriber to be a beta tester (if you haven't done so already) - http://eepurl.com/bW1Ln

* Wait for an invite email

* Register your email/phone online

* Get the Viber Android app and install

* Activate with the number you registered.

If you get the APK without following this procedure, you will NOT be able to activate.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
We apologize for the wait, but as I explained - we are thinking about making the Beta version public soon, as we are at the final stages of testing.

When that happens - I'll be sure to let you know.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pepy_24:
Got a question. Is it possible to call from another country with your original country phone number? Im atm in Spain so just wondering if i can make home calls with my cro number.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Yes, this is how you use Viber.

Viber doesn't have "roaming" like cellular networks, because it works over the internet. If you register in Croatia and then fly to Spain, when you're in Spain your number is still shown as your original Croatian number, and you would still call your Croatian friends locally (without the Croatian country code).
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pepy_24:
Ok, thanks :-)

Hi all,

We have been working hard in the past several weeks on a first version of Viber on Blackberry, and we are now excited to give you a first look.

You can find it here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...647430515.31697.121349544572559&type=1&ref=nf

In addition, I'd like to announce that we are at the very final stages of our Viber-for-Android closed-group Beta project, and will soon make the Beta version public!

For more info feel free to ask me here and make sure you follow us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/viber

Thanks,

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] afnaf:
So you are thinking of add this in a later stage maybe?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Calls between Viber and Skype is unlikely.

What we are thinking about these days is allowing to call "normal" numbers - landlines and cellular phones - from Viber.

But it's too soon to talk about dates and estimates. Follow us on Facebook for the latest updates, or wait for me to post updates here.

Hi Viber Team....

After subscribing to your list on May 29th, I had all but forgotten about you...

Then I get this intriguing mail from Viber......this morning @ 08:42....

So I follow all the links, and guess what, I'm invited to sign up for the Beta Version, to go on a list, again........and again......and again......

That's right, I tried at least three times, gave you my mobile number, my e-mail was already in the form...tried with 0 in the number, without 0 in the number...every which way. Gave my Android device, and my Android Version.....And nothing happened, except I was invited again.......to put my name on a list.

Then I downloaded the latest apk, installed on my Android, ran the App....saw the little notice saying I would get an Access Code by SMS......entered my number, and got an Error.....instructing me to go to www dot viber dot com/android-beta.......to become a Beta Tester.......

Now, there is nothing I would like more than to become a Viber Beta Tester.....but if the actual App is as Buggy as the process, I think it will not reside for long on my Android, after the test period has expired.

What can I expect next!!!!

Another Invitation to sign up for an Invitation....this could go on for a looooong time...:confused:

BTW, it wouldn't be so bad, except my son has an iPhone 4......and guess what.....he has been ribbing me constantly about this app.

Edit....sorry bout the links, not enuff posts...:o
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] anders260:
Same for me, also got the mail, but no luck
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Nagarebozhi:
The same thing happened to me, and got no support from viber team! Now I will not recommend viber to anyone because they don't know what customer support is! Don't get it why they can't make it a open beta, they say its 99% finished but they can't make it open? Like I said I will not recommend this to anyone!

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Maikel205:

So be patient...

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
@irishpancake

I replied to you in boards.ie but I'll post the same answer here in XDA:

Yes, we are aware of the problems with yesterday's invitations.

We are currently working to find the source of the problem, but our focus is on the real solution for the problem - releasing a public version of the Beta very VERY soon (could also be a few days)!!!

We ask for your last bit of patience. Within approximately a few days Viber will finally appear in Market!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] irishpancake:
So I just give you my response from Boards.....

You are aware of the problems!!!

I would say you won't have to look too hard to find the source ( :

Just another thing.

The only way to stop your sh11ty app running on my device is to Force Close.....

why don't you work on a solution to that...

I just ran out of my "last bit of patience"...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Nagarebozhi:
That is strange the same thing happened to me 2 month ago? So I don't think its a yesterday problem, its a viber problem!!!

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
@irishpancake

I understand your frustration, but you are probably not aware of the complexities that might arise while dealing with tens of thousands of beta testers.

We are working hard to fix and develop the app, even though it's at its Beta stage only (!). We apologize for the inconvenience, but if you think so badly of the app and its developers, maybe you shouldn't bother joining 2 different forums and contacting me very rudely.

As I said, within a few days the app will be public in Market.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] enzopiero:
I complete all the forms, but I can not access the application
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
As I mentioned above, Android's beta version will become public very soon - probably a few days - and then it will simply be available for download to all in Market. That will solve the problem for everyone.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] irishpancake:
Excuse me, where did I contact you, rudely or otherwise.......:confused:

And where do you get the idea that I joined XDA or Boards to specifically criticize Viber, or you personally :confused:

FYI, I have been a member of boards.ie since 2003.....

XDA more recently, as I just acquired an Android device last March!!!!

at the ripe olde age of 57 :D

I am also on Modaco, Android Forums, and more......got too much time on my hands, for reasons I won't go into here....not in prison :p

But, it's not OK for me to be on two Boards, pointing out exactly what happened, following on your, that is Viber's, e-mail invitation to become a Beta Tester for your App......

I think you need to withdraw that remark.

(BTW, I do apologize for the use of bad language, hope you forgive me, should know better).

I know it's a good App, and my son has it on iPhone, hence my interest.....he won't, or can't use CSipSimple, my preferred VOIP.

Also, I will probably be using Android's Native VOIP coon, when I move onto Gingerbread(2.3)

But, it is OK for you, Viber/Viber Team, to be on Boards/XDA, etc, etc.

Also, perhaps you can explain who now has the harvested Cellphone/Mobile Numbers, which were gathered during the abortive process yesterday.

Will Viber be contacting those who gave their personal information yesterday, including name, e-mail address, cell phone numbers, Device, Android Version, Country of residence, to assure those people that their personal information is indeed safe.

That is a lot of information, for which nothing was given in return.

Or do we have to contact the Data Information Commissioners in various Countries to ensure that this is indeed the case.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
This information goes into our servers for functional, automated purposes only (i.e sending you invitations, codes, etc.)

The info is inaccessible to anyone, and no other use of it is made (e.g we DO NOT sell it, we DO NOT deliver it to 3rd-party companies, etc.). Read our Privacy Policy, all the information you're looking for is there.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] irishpancake:
You still need to withdraw your remarks about me, or I will report you to site admin.

I would appreciate that, you cannot say untrue things about people here, unless you have evidence to support what you have said......I did not join two forums for the purpose you suggested, or contact you personally, by PM, or otherwise.

Please have the good grace to correct the record.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
I take back those two remarks about you, and apologize if you found them offensive, that wasn't my meaning.

At any rate - feel free to still ask me anything you'd like about Viber.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] irishpancake:
I did, in fact, find them offensive, as I have a good rep here, and particularly on boards.ie, where I do my best to help ppl out. I hope you will oblige there as well.

I have no axe to grind, whatsoever.

What about the force close issue, when ppl have installed the latest beta on their device?? There is no way to close the app, after the abortive attempt to actually use the app.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Currently we don't have any easy way to allow an option to close the app, so we left is as something to work on in the future.

At any rate, when the app IS opened and runs in the background, it consumes very little battery, it is available for calls and texts, and it uses negligible amounts of data (a few KBs an hour).

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to announce that our Beta version of Viber-for-Android is FINALLY public, and now appears in Market for all to download!

The version itself is slightly more updated than the previous one (mostly bug fixes), so we highly recommend everyone to download and install it.

Important: those of you who were testing our Beta (after getting the invitations) will have to uninstall Viber, and only then install the Market version. Thank you!

As usual, I'll be here for your questions, suggestions, bug reports or anything else really :)

Thanks,

Viber.

A new version of Viber for Android has just been released: 2.0.1

What's new?

- "Exit" button. Note that shutting Viber off may result in unavailability to receive calls and texts.

- Important features, such as Proximity Sensor, are now enabled by default.

- Viber-contacts identification mechanism was improved.

- Many other bug fixes.

Please find the new version in Market. We'd love to hear your feedback!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Hi everyone,

I'm excited to announce that according to preliminary results, it seems as though we managed to find and fix the collision problem of Viber with CM7 and MIUI ROMs (and possible the rest as well)

Both these ROMs "change" the device's identity (virtually, of course), preventing Viber from adapting itself correctly to the device's microphone configuration. This is why most of you with ROMs experienced the one-side audio issue.

Anyway - we are working on adding a fix to the new version that will hopefully be officially released next week to Market.

Updates soon,

Viber.

Hi all,

Viber 2.0.2 has just been released to Market!

What's new?

- Viber is back on Market for HTC Wildfire and HTC Hero users. However, note that due to immanent compatibility problems, Viber might not work 100% smoothly. 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.

As usual - for questions/technical issues feel free to contact me.

Users with Xperia X8: we heard that some of you are experiencing a critical bug that prevents you from hearing the other side (or vice versa).

Regardless of whether you personally have it or not, may we ask you to check what the "Model Number" of your device is?

You can do it by simply going to Settings --> "About Phone" (at the very bottom) --> Model Number

Thank you in advance!

viber can't stop vanishing on my x10 with wifi, I have to open the app and it starts again. I dont use any task killers
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
I'm not sure I fully understood the problem... You're saying the app suddenly shuts down automatically without any special move by you?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chriscx:
yes

but I got 2.1.2 right now

EDIT: It shuts down when I plug USB
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
So the bug you are experiencing now is that the app closes immediately when you plug your device to a USB?

Which OS version exactly do you have? Are you running a custom ROM?

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chriscx:
yes immediately or sometimes randomly when lockscreen

i have x10 stock rom 2.3.3 (with unofficial 2.3.4 update), I moved Viber to SD card.

edit: I have tested on another phone (Huawei U8180) with custom rom cyanogen 7.1 (GB 2.3.7) and no problem (app on sd), except that it doesnt start automatically after a reboot

so at the moment I will put Viber back on phone memory. The unofficial 2.3.4 update is still unstable, that could explain my issue.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
@hhlong89 - what do you mean you were FC on all calls? You mean Viber calls crash? Did you uninstall and download the latest version from Market?

@chriscx - we will try to replicate the problem on our X10 here in the lab, but it really could be due to the unofficial update you installed. I'll keep you posted if we have any news or questions.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chriscx:
I have same issue now with my U8180, I've plugged usb and viber vanished from status bar. In general apps that need to be ON all the time are unstable when on sd card.
