The Viber team is aware of this, Viber isn't compatible with ICS yet, they are working on getting everything running and as they wrote in a previous post, they are hopping that they will release a fully working, ICS compatible Viber by the end of Q1 ! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
And actually, hopefully much before the end of Q1....

We're made some serious progress over the past few days, and we're talking about 2-3 weeks now, if all goes right.

Hi, rhay:

Can you please post your Device and ROM version at TangoHacks.com so we will have it take care. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilmoe2002:
we know it takes time developing/porting an app... you're doing way better than manufacturers updating phones to the latest version of android (yes, porting android is probably more difficult and takes more time, but the difference between your resources and theirs evens things out)

hope you guys implemented the new design guidelines of ICS (though it wouldn't be a deal breaker if you didn't)

keep up the good work, and thanks for answering my/our questions :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
@sandrotb -

Viber doesn't have an "online status" feature per se, but you can tell indirectly if your contact is online as follows:

When you make a Viber call, you will first see "Calling". It will change to "Ringing" if your contact is online and their phone is literally ringing.

When you text, "Delivered" means the message has been received on the other side's phone (he's online). If you only see "Sent", it means it's been sent from you, but pending the other side to come online (they're offline at the moment).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilmoe2002:
yes.... it'll always be free according to them
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
@RoosterX -

Yes, also bug fixes were added, and overall functionality should improve. Of course, since it's a relatively big update, we will be waiting for reports from devoted users such as yourself so we could immediately know if there are any problems and fix them ASAP :)

@zammy -

Yep. As mentioned above, Viber - the app itself and the service - will always remain free.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asribar:
Great to hear that... Viber on ICS will rock... I hope that UI will receive an overhaul to make it look more ICS like and less iPhone like :)

And it would be great if you could integrate emoji like WhatsApp has... Then everyone who's using both can dump Whatsapp :D

Btw, slightly off topic... I think that Viber needs to launch a WP7 client ASAP, because once brilliant devs at Microsoft integrate Skype system deep in Tango or Apollo, it will be really hard for other VOIP programs to capture a decent user base.

Keep up the great work ;)

i've downloaded it and it's now running on my galaxy s1 with cm9

however, when i try calling anyone, i can hear them, but they CAN'T hear me! i've tried lots of things, from uninstalling/clearing data then installing again... but still isn't working :(

text messages work fine though...

i've also noticed that the UI is very laggy, although everything else runs nice and smooth. i tried enabling and disabling "force GPU rending" in the dev options, but still too laggy...

is anyone encountering the same problem?? or is it just me?

This is a new problem that did not exist on Viber 2.1.2 ?

I can see that you have an ICS ROM, and that may be the source of the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Torlo:
I have the same problem.

Will Viber fix it or my custom rom developer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
Please note that at this stage we don't support custom ROMs with Viber. Running Viber on a custom ROM results in various side effects (sometimes total lack of functionality), but we can't afford to support all custom ROMs out there. We are continuously working to adapt Viber to more and more ROMS, but meanwhile - you might want to contact the ROM developer for further support - they may be able to resolve this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoto8179:
I have the same problem. The other side don't hear me!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guijarrelson:
Viber doesn't works with custom roms, buy I see in your page you offer support for CyanogenMod MOD.

In my ICS Cyanogenmod CM9, Viber can call but the peer can't hear me. The peer has an official rom of Samsung and I can hear him.

So sad :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilmoe2002:
yes i did. i even cleared the memory/cache before reinstalling...

viber usually always worked on any custom gingerbread rom out there... i don't think it's an issue with the rom. CM9 is usually the most compatible rom out there with just about anything. they were actually trying to make viber work without your update (also with fring and tango, but they got those working well. even skype works well without latest updates), but it was an issue they couldn't solve simply because viber wasn't at all compatible with ICS.

people still can't hear me, i can hear them well. very well actually :)

for the lag issue, i think it's an issue with how the viber app controls drawing itself to the ui framework. it is calling WAYY too many screen refreshes, causing it to lag. those screen refreshes were probably highly optimized for froyo and gingerbread and not according to google's guidelines. i'm not complaining, this optimization was probably the reason why viber worked so smoothly on gingerbread, but it just isn't as great for GPU rendering, better with CPU. not the case with ICS. it's drawing more cpu power than any other app out there just for scrolling. i know it's not my place to tell you what should be done and shouldn't, but i thought it might give you a bit of insight.

we're getting closer and closer :) thanks for the hard work!!! messaging is working just fine. so i'm back in contact with everyone :)

just to give you some info, i had the same one sided voice problem with GB CM Kang builds as well, CM7 Build 181 is the only one Vibers works on, anything after that is a no go, I am thinking CM7/9 added something that your system is not able to detect the microphone anymore.

- when you select a contact from the contact list it stays selected. I mean the gray background does not go away until you select another contact.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
@stfudude and @Raul77 -

It seems, despite what CM9 developers replied to you, that there was really something that's been configured by them that's not letting Viber use the mic. Our indicator for such things is the simply fact that Viber works fine on stock, but fails to identify the microphone on CM. I will pass on the request to find the problem to our dev team, but unfortunately we can't promise it will be addressed soon - as I've explained in the past, we have limited resources and cannot afford to attend to all Custom ROMs immediately.

@talexop -

Thank you for the report of the two bugs regarding the contact list.

1. Please specify what device exactly you are using, which version of Android, and whether or not you are running a Custom ROM.

2. Also, I kindly ask you to report this issue to our support team so they can look into it and hopefully fix it. Here's the link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0

About the third bug - we have already heard this report from other users, and we're trying to figure out what the cause of the problem is. May I ask that you add a screenshot so we could see what exactly the problem is?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funnnny:
the audio API in the Galaxy S ICS ROM (Pawtip is 1 member of teamhacksung).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaax:
On the SGS2, if you go to the Settings then Accounts and sync, you get a list of accounts/apps such as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Skype or Twitter which contacts can be synchronized with the ones on the phone. Viber used to appear among them but doesn't any more. I can't add my Viber account manually either.

In the Phone app on each contact the linked accounts appear under "Connections" so you can call, text, message or email them straight from the contact list. Viber no longer appears under "Connections"

This would also enable the pictures in the Viber app to be updated with the ones from the contacts. With this update they're all blank.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfudude:
@Viber Team

Maybe this pictures will help illustrate what jaax described.

You can see viber icon in my statusbar, but viber is not listed in "sync and account" as well as in the "people" app (contact app in android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich)

i think what pawitp is trying to say is that, CM9 (and other ICS roms) for SGS is using the same audio code like Nexus S. we know that Nexus S doesn't have this mic issue when calling. and we also knew that Nexus is Google's device, which means, Samsung API is nowhere to be found.

it's just an idea. maybe for the time being, remove that Samsung API and use Nexus S API instead? sorry if I sounds ridiculous, but we are all waiting for Viber since 3-4 months ago, and we'd like to use it. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yozgatg:
have been using the latest update for a couple days now, here are my remarks:

- app works fine (voice + messages) on my Desire Z running on ICS 4.0.3 (andromadus build which is a mix of CM9 and AOSP)

- also can confirm it works on the leaked ICS beta of samsung's galaxy SII

- voice quality has definitely improved

- same problem as a couple of pages ago, if u hold a contact a menu pops up. If u press back, the contact still looks selected (gray background) until you press on a different contact

only remark is again with the syncing, it disappears (even if I add it back)

and ofcourse would like to see a new UI on ICS but that's more a long-term problem

We are working right now to fix the concrete issues you mentioned

that also occur on Stock ROM

, and we hope to released another fix version next week. Stay tuned :)

Regarding the ICS-ROM problems - we will look into them, but we can't promise a fix at this stage. As we said over and over again - we adapt Viber to the factory settings, and to stable, and long-lasting conditions of officially released popular ROMs.

@stfudude - you explained yourself that currently there is a "mix-up" in the API's between Samsung's and Google's. If that's the case, we don't plan to dynamically keep track of the frequent changes that CM9's developers implement in their ROMs. I suggest again that you contact them, and they can contact us if they desire (for example - right here on XDA, through me).

i looked into this but cant find any difference, not sure what is going on, have you used Tango?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guijarrelson:
Yeah, he is talking about ICS version. In Samsung Galaxy S and Nexus S ICS ROMs.

The mic doesn't work and pawitp says you if you uses an specific Samsung API. CyanogenMod 9 doesn't work with Viber, but with Skype for example yes.

The problem could be if you detect that the device is a Samsung model, you use a Samsung API.
