Please note that Viber does not officially support your device yet, and that may be the reason for the problems you are experiencing. Here is the full list of officially supported devices: http://bit.ly/Hm5k9p

Thank you!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
We're doing our best so it is ready as soon as possible.

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. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yozgatg:
could it be because of the syncing API you've used? because f.e. whatsapp works perfectly fine on both gingerbread and ics

viber sometimes disappears from accounts & syncing and I can add it back but after a while it disappears again (this is with gingerbread btw)

also would you be able to release a beta version here or on your support forums? (so power users like us can test it on ics and help you iron out the bugs)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys s:
thanks viber team ...hope it runs comback on ics soon ...thanks onece more
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
@yozgatg -

1. You have to remember that WhatsApp probably has more resources than us, and also - WhatsApp has only messaging to worry about. The bigger problem with Viber-ICS is the integration of VoIP, and that is mainly what we're working on right now.

2. Could you please add screenshots of this problem? I'm not sure I fully understood your meaning :(

3. At this stage we do not plan to release a beta-version of our upcoming ICS version. The testings are done in our labs, and it is in fact quite close to being released. We're doing the best we can so it is read soon, and works smoothly once released :)

Also, since I saw you are located in Belgium may I ask you something about Viber in Belgium?

We've received numerous reports lately about Viber being blocked in all of Belgium's 3G networks. Is that correct? Could you please elaborate on that?

while you're at it, viber is unable to send a photo which was taken by the camera of a nexus s, every time i try to send, I get a "viber cannot send this picture" or similar message,

however, please fix the main functionality faster, since after the update I really miss viber on my device :)

waiting for the update ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yozgatg:
Thanks for your reply,

I'm on JIM Mobile (which uses the network of BASE) and Viber works perfectly for me over 3G (both calls and messaging). I'll try to get some reports from friends who are on other operators. I don't think it's even legally allowed to block these kinds of applications (f.e. they can't block tethering) in the EU. In Belgium there is no real competition between the big 3 mobile operators and they tend to keep prices high (we have one of the highest prices for mobile internet in the world!). The new evolution in mobile with apps like Viber and Whatsapp is a huge threat to their business model (milking their customers) which is why they might seek to block these kinds of free services.

About the account&sync problem: i'm talking about this screen (not my screenshot btw):

Viber keeps disappearing and reappearing from that list, so when I go to one of my contacts, I can't see the viber button sometimes. This might be due to a custom ROM or due to an updated version of viber because I don't remember having this problem when Viber was launched at first (I was on the original htc rom at that time).

* I have an HTC Desire Z and I'm moving back on forth between the MIUI and the latest ICS roms (the problem occured in the MIUI rom which is Android 2.3.7)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:

I have a different problem. When using Viber on the go, walking around my University, it looses connection and the call breaks when the phone connects to a new mirror. It is within the same network, just multiple access-points, mirrors. No deal-breaker, just thought i should mention it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
Hi Sigurgrimur,

This may not be a problem with Viber itself. It could be a problem with the handshake (the way that your device, or rather it's WiFi hardware, is switching between APs).

It is actually a known problem with many devices that they "cling" on to their existing network until it's completely out of range, and only then switch to the next AP over.

Have you tested this issue with other applications that use a continuous internet connection for their service? Does this problem occur also?

By the way - you're the first Icelandic user we get to talk to and support. Cool! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untamedkid:

Hi Viber Team. Thanks for the work and for the great app. I use it a lot here in Brazil.

I'd like to know how's the progress for the compatibility with ICS. Could you share what the main issues are at the moment? Will Viber work before we have new kernel sources? It seems that most apps are working already, Viber's one of the few that doesn't.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
Well, we're actually almost at the stage of testing (after the adaptation and development has been "completed").

We still wouldn't want to guarantee an exact timeframe, but a few weeks seems like a reasonable goal.

We are aware that other apps are functional on ICS already, but in principle, we prefer delaying our releases a bit more and make sure we release a fully functional version, rather than rushing our release to Market each time there is development that needs to be done. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yozgatg:
I think we should leave the Viber team alone to finish their testing.

They have informed us more than adequately :)

ps just a question about the longer term: are there any plans to adapt the interface to ics (especially now the new android design guidelines are published)? I still think the UI is too iphoney.

heard that u guys will release a paid version later on?

btw is there gonna be a feature like "read" in viber someday?

we have now sent and delivered. but it would be awesome to see that if they have read it or not.

its not that anyone needs it much but its a feature what i would like to see in future =)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocojin:
Hello,

for my part, the 'read' option is really intrusive.

Some friends and I stopped using whatsapp because you can see when a friend is online or not and it can happen that they harass you until you answer because they see you online...

So, to have some freedom, not adding this option might be better.

But my suggestion would be to add it and also adding an option to activite/desactivate it.

Our development team is working around the clock to complete it ASAP. We apologize for the delay, but it's important to understand that it's delayed because we want to ensure that the app is released free of bugs. Remember that unlike other apps, we, as a company with limited resources, need to implement Viber's VoIP engine AND messaging service to the new ICS API. We should have an official announcement regarding Viber for ICS soon.

The question is just - when exactly that'll happen. Look - naturally, you can understand that releasing Viber for ICS is also of our great interest. As I explained above - remember that we are still a relatively young app with limited resources (unlike other, bigger companies who either don't have the services that we do, hence need less development, or have huge resources).

Be sure we're doing everything in our power to push the development of Viber for ICS, and have it ready ASAP.

Hi

Don't loose your time with this app. There are a lot of apps for this purpouse.

I think that the developer team is making a joke with us. They are crying that they are an small company but we, the customers, only want a milestones. In what week, month, year we could be a release.

Don't loose your time.

I am using Skype in my ICS. It works perfect and, it works in a lot of platforms.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yozgatg:
I think this forum might be getting overrun by impatient children.

Show some respect for these devs that are working on an application that is FREE! And again there are plenty of alternatives out there, however Viber has very strong network effects since a lot of users across multiple platforms use it.

Also keep in mind that ICS users currently account for less than 2% of the entire Android market, so a little nuance would be in place. Sure some clarity towards a release date (even a very broad one like f.e. Q1/Q2 2012) would be helpful, though this would put more pressure on the devs to get an app out before that deadline. And that would result in more bugs.

Ultimately, it's in their own interest to get an app out for ICS since this would mean less lost customers. Seeing how they're not rushing out the app but building a solid, bugfree experience for us indicates that they do care about user satisfaction.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
Thank you yozgatg, I actually couldn't explain it better :)

I'd just like to add that we do have a general timeframe - Viber for ICS will be released in Q1 (unless we hit some dramatic and extremely improbable obstacle).
