To op first I would ditch juice defender never been a fan of that app plus it also takes resources to enable data again seems counter productive somewhat. Second it does seem these phones have days where they suck down the juice. Also I would use ondemand instead of conservative I have never seen one person even back to my Droid that said they had amazing battery on conservative scaling. I notice way to much lag with conservative as we its only supposed to scale up to the clock speed needed but it takes to long to scale up in my opinion. I've always gotten decent battery life from Droid to thunderbolt and I've always used ondemand with the min clock speed when screen off. Also if you dont have spareparts get it from the market it may have been a rogue app for some reason that day. I have Google voice act up on me from time to time. Hope this helps. Oh and I'm getting 20 to 30 hours out of mine. Whoever said 60 hours must have it hooked up to a car battery haha.
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
I don't know about 60 hours on this phone yet. I have gotten 2 days with small usage, but not longer. This might be doable when CM7 starts getting nightly cranked out. Or when our AOSP kernels get better. That is when I started getting 3 days with my evo, but then again, that was with 3G only.
[Thunderbolt General] theheight.ofcallousness:
Ever since I did the battery calibration, it seems a lot better. I tend to flipflop back and forth between conservative and ondemand with my main profile- I wouldn't say conservative is a total waste, I'll reserve that for the powersave scaling. So in any case, was it just bad values were written to the batterystats.bin file? And if so, what steps can I take to keep it from happening again? Other than this little bump, I'd say the tb has been the best phone I've ever owned.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] elahly:
Hi All,

I'd like to announce that Viber has finally came out to Android, it is still a Beta version

I tried it and it works just fine on my Xperia X10 using CM6.1.3 v006 Wolfbreak rom.

Thanks,

Ayman
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MitkoPo:
Are you sure ? I just tried and I should become a beta tester to use it, try it
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] elahly:
Yes I'm pretty sure of it, only register on their website to download the apk.

for testing viber you need to do nothing, as when it crashes it asks you to report issue and send the logs with single button click ;)

Thanks,

Ayman
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MitkoPo:
You downloaded via phone or from pc ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ImS0Raw:
I already registered but still no apk of the viber app.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MitkoPo:
I think you have to receive mail or sms from Viber to get starting you can get the apk from viber.com/download but you can't use it
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] movelbit:
tks for the info

here it is: http://s3.amazonaws.com/Viber-Android-Beta/viber.apk
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cmby:
what´s this app for?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] clixt:
http://www.viber.com/

Kinda like Skype..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cruzin_cruzing:
http://viber.com/download for the apk.

But you need an invite via email.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Hi all,

This is a member of the Viber development team.

This is the process you need to go through in order to complete your Beta installation:

* Register for the beta (if you haven't done so already) - viber.com/android.

* Wait for an invite email (could be a few weeks, due to the long waiting list)

* 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.

For other questions I'm here :)

Thanks,

Viber.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cubatahavana:
Will the viber app use the contact list as with the iPhone?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Yep,

Contact list on Viber is duplicated from your Android's list, and when new contacts of yours install Viber, you get notified of that (just like iPhone).
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] hierarchy666:
Done! Cant wait to use this hate skype so much
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bluewall:
When somebody ask me "What is Viber?" I always answer that his the Whatsapp for speaking : )

If everybody, and it could be AWESOME, have Viber + Whatsapp and a big data we can speak and send messages for free !

PS: I have a question for you, Viber team, i have only 500 mb for a months (welcome to switzerland :D), i must use Viber on the Wifi no? Have you any idea of how a call for 5 minutes use data?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sina1:
i would like to know how much data it will use per 1 minute!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Viber uses about 0.5MB per minute of call - so you should have 1000 minutes with your 500MB plan (although most cellular providers in most countries offer much larger plans than that).

By the way, Viber also offers Text Messaging, not only calls :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] piero79:
when I can use Viber ?

I logged in and I downloaded the program, but after entering my number does not enter the program.

thank's
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rederik79:
+1 I also, entering the number but nothing
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bluewall:
Awesome, can't wait for the public release ! ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Please elaborate on the problem.

What exactly do you mean by "does not enter the program"?

You type your number, you click the 'Continue' button, and then what happens?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bluewall:
Can you tell us about when the public release is out? Like just a month ? : )
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rederik79:
When click the " Continue" button appear a error message "sign up to beta tester" but i alredy sign.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] JohnShade123:
Pretty sure only a limited amount of people can register for beta. It says on the website.

Edit: NVM, there is just a long waiting list so expect invitations in a few days or more.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
As mentioned above, after you subscribe to be a beta tester, you need to wait for our invitation email (could be up to a few weeks). Only after that will you be able to complete your Viber setup.

About our official release - we still don't know, but we're working as fast as we can :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gandalf161070:
I heard that viber copies our contactlists and sells it to other company's who want to buy that ( all our contacts with their phonenumbers).

Is that true?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Absolutely false.

We've heard those accusations ourselves, and always cared enough to reply to them fully:

First, it is important to be accurate – we only collect names and phone numbers, nothing else. Naturally, we collect users' information not because we are curious of its content, but for functional reasons, and for us to enable the service we, as a company, promise to provide. Without that information, Viber cannot function. This is not different from any other major social network/communication service provider in our world nowadays.

I would like to clarify again: we DO NOT sell users' information to anyone, and we keep this information WELL locked in our servers, with extremely limited access to it.

Feel free to read our Privacy Policy (in our homepage) and you'll see all the information you need there.

If you still have questions/concerns - feel free of course.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sugichef:
Got Viber running on my X10 and its working great at the moment....

Clear calls and no problems so far... much better than skype...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Hmm....

What are the versions of your device + OS?

Are you using any special ROM?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] yamensaleh:
I am using froyo 2.2 with htc sense and yes it is a cocked rom, also i tried it on GB 2.3.4 and i have the same issue.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Customized ROMs could indeed be the source to a problem like this.

Anyway - please report the bug (with full details) to our official page: http://blog.viber.com/viber-beta-support

Within several days we plan to release a new Beta version. Once it's out, remove your current one and download the newer one. After you check it, let me know if the problem is fixed.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wkkm007:
Can I use 1 mobile no on 2 device? Cause I already use my current mobile no. for my iPod touch. I am using SE x10. I ask this question because whatapp does not allow 1 mobile no. for 2 device.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Unfortunately Viber is the same - a Viber number can be assigned on 1 device.

However, try to find alternatives. Like registering with your home number, or a friend's / family's number, etc.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wkkm007:
Thank for the reply, I have an alternative mobile no. Just to ask why your company can provide this service for free?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
For now, Viber's focus is on adding platforms, adding features (such as text messages) and improving overall system performance. At the same time, we are working on additional future premium services that will generate revenues. The basic Viber service - Viber to Viber phone calls and text messages - will ALWAYS be free.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wkkm007:
'premium services' It is viber to any land/mobile no. like skype credit? If this is on window and mac that is cool.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
That's the plan, yes, but no official announcements yet :)

Viber is a young app. We're developing fast, and hopefully we'll have some news.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] anders260:
Have registred, will it take long time to get beta
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Nagarebozhi:
weeks? I'm have been waiting over a month now for an e-mail from you.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dualbore:
if you'd offer reasonable rates from my phone to international numbers or landlines, I'd kiss Skype goodbye faster than I can type Skype.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wkkm007:
Where does viber from? It is Italy(in FB http://www.facebook.com/pages/Viber-Italia-e-Svizzera-italiana/182094011826507)?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Viber is based in Cyprus with development facilities in Israel and Belarus. Servers are all over the world, but the ones storing the data (the "database") are in the US
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] daniel_pnc:
Is it functional on any rom, or just the stock??
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
For now we are focusing only on the stock ROM, since it's almost impossible for us to adapt Viber to any personal ROM users would choose to install.

This doesn't mean that Viber won't work on customized ROMs - it just means it might not be fully compatible and a little problematic due to the ROM's special settings.

We *might* later on add support to very popular ROMs, but we are still not at this stage yet.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] anders260:
Hi i registered to become a beta tester last week, how long does it usually take to be "approved"
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
The waiting list is currently long, so it might take up to several weeks.

We are trying to speed up the process (without having our servers collapse), so it might be shorter.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Hi all,

Please make sure to report bugs here: http://blog.viber.com/viber-beta-support
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] CRCinAU:
Signed up yesterday for the beta... not exactly confident that I'll get a beta invite in the next month, but it'll be nice to have eventually... if I haven't forgotten all about it by then ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] streamnlnl:
I have send them a mail at 26 may.

I have a conformation that their have received my mail. But that all.

I'm still waiting for the rest....
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Our waiting list is long, so a little more patience is needed :)

We are considering to make the Beta version public these days, but no announcements yet. We will keep you posted.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ImS0Raw:
I signed up a few weeks ago and last week I got the invitation! I immediately called with Viber my cousin, but he said he couldn't almost here me. So I removed the app.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] CRCinAU:
I would see this as a VERY good thing.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Why couldn't he hear you?

Did you make sure both your internet connections were high-speed?

Did you try it with other people?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] geniouslin:
any idea when viber may finally go public out of beta?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] :
Damn, I must say I'm impressed by this support.

I've never heard about developers (outside of XDA, ofcourse) that makes on account on other forums just to help people. Even if they did, most devs would say "go to our forum, read the FAQ blahblah". And even (limited) support for custom ROMs.

So yeah, that's kinda awesome.

The sad thing is I can't help betatesting this, as my phone is broken ):
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Thanks @mrhaxx, I try my best ;)

We still don't know when Viber will go public in Market. I can tell you, however, that we are approaching the final stages of the Beta, as more and more bugs are found and fixed.

I'll keep you posted.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] CRCinAU:

2. Stay updated in this thread. I've just posted a message (several minutes ago) about the new Beta version, and I'll continue to do so for the forum users.

If you don't run in background, you cannot received call when people call you.

problem with Viber for android

I'm going crazy!!! I can't see my Viber friends in Viber contact. There is nothing different even though they have installed Viber.It always says"this contact does not have Viber yet"!!! Can anyone help me to solve this problem? THX!!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
- We are discussing adding an "Exit" button in the near future. We will keep you posted on that. However, as mentioned above, remember that Viber is a communications app. Its whole purpose is to be available to receive calls/texts and make them back. But as I said - it's being discussed and will hopefully be implemented soon.

- 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.)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Daniel23Dx:
In the new update after a while all my friend using viber contacts show up and now no more crash.

Call quality not so good, breaking.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
- Have you tried the call when both sides are on high-speed WiFi connections?

- Are you sure there aren't any other apps interrupting with Viber, thus disrupting its sound quality?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Daniel23Dx:
- Yes both sides are on high-speed wifi connections. Test with a iphone calling the same person. Iphone call quality is better.

- I don't know, what apps will interrupting with Viber? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] thaikinh:
The quality over the wifi with a 10Mbps ADSL line is good, however I dont see any Viber contact even some of my contacts have installed Viber after I informed them. Still able to chat with them via Viber.

I am using Viber on Galaxy SI
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
@Daniel23Dx - it's hard for me to help you here... the quality problem you are experiencing might be due to the fact that you're running a customized ROM. Is this the case?

@thaikinh - we are aware of the missing contact problem (it's only a GUI problem, you should still be able to call and text them).

In the meanwhile, here is a 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.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] CRCinAU:
It seems so. At least the ones I know use viber.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Good.

Sometimes it takes several minutes for it to "snap" into action, so don't be surprised when this happens after you install a newer version. We'll try to improve our mechanism though.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sammino:
So I recently made the transition from an iphone to a android phone (more specificially a nexus S) and I installed viber. I do the authenticate to activate (send me pin by phone) and it works but a few minutes later it says something along the lines of : "viber was deactivate on this device..." so I try to do it again.. same thing happens.. I tried it several times.. Tried to reinstall and I still get the same issue.. ran out of numbers to troubleshoot this and my sms options are limited... Please help :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
Please try the following:

1. Remove Viber

2. Wait 24 hours

3. Reinstall, and this time try registering with a different number (your home number, a friend's number, family's, etc.)

Does the problem persist now?

Also, please provide me with the following information:

1. What Android version do you have?

2. Are you using a custom ROM or stock?

3. Are you using some sort of backup app?

4. Is your device new, or been transferred to you by a friend, etc?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sammino:
It was transferred to me by a friend. He had a custom rom on it but I wiped it off and put the stock back on there and updated to 2.3.4 thru google.. Its locked etc.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sammino:
So I was playing around with some texting apps today and tried it with Viber and manage to get it installed. Seems to be working right now (without it deactivating so far) Still gotta figure out why some numbers are not showing up as viber numbers on my contacts (they have iphones with viber.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sammino:
Well it deactivated again.. not sure why.. hmm if i am not in wifi or 3g range, does it deactivate viber?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
@sammino

No... the problem is different.

We suspect that some ROMs alter the IMEI of your device (the serial number of the device itself). When this happens, some IMEI collisions may occur, and our server "thinks" that there are 2 devices trying to fight over the same Viber account.

Please check your IMEI number inside your phone's "About" details, and compare it with the real IMEI that should be written on the back of your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sammino:
Looks like they are different, not sure how to change these.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viber Team:
It's the ROM that overrode the original IMEI, and this is what causes the problem. There are many other people trying to use Viber right now with the same IMEI, and that's why you all are constantly deactivating each other. We are working on a fix to this problem, but unfortunately it probably won't happen overnight :(
