[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thecolorifix:
There's absolutely no reason my want has to break any other features or mean any sort of compromise. Also you didn't even address the user case I presented in which vol down to vibrate is still the quickest, and most discreet method. Nobody's confusing what we want out of our respective phones (what does that even mean?). And no, we're not crippled by not having that feature, but nobody said we were. But my original point stands, it's counter productive and a bit condescending to tell someone else what they should or shouldn't want. If you have alternatives to offer, awesome but why bother saying "you shouldn't want this".

As for the actual topic, it definitely seems like this is less prevalent, on my G1 and MyTouch3G I used a bunch of ROMs with it baked in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] prech:
I hear you and would be in interested in such a function.

Silent mode, along with music play/stop and screen wakeup are the three most oft used features in my book
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
I think the user would have a faster time swiping across their lockscreen to silence their phones, since the method you mentioned would require one or two hands, with one button press to bring up the lockscreen, the other to button press to hold down the vol toggles. I still think my proposed method is much more efficient in terms of bringing up the lockscreen to silence.

This is all completely my opinion, and If I came out condescending, that was NOT my intention. In a way, I think we're past arguing about adding in features to arguing more on wants and needs which I'm not against at all. I'm more or less against adding in extra features that in a way isn't really revolutionary or anything new for this phone. I honestly think it's counter productive to ask developers for extra small features that already has it in a different way, instead of opting for bigger features, and in this case with Juggernaut 5.0, ICS lockscreen with music widget, which is huge. And again, this comes back to the perspective we have for our phones, which most want the bigger piece of the pie (ICS lockscreen, toggle rearrangement, etc) while others may want more smaller features added in for their specific niche.

Also, would it have been better if I put "I honestly think..." in the last sentence of my first post? I believe that the way the first post I posted did sound a bit presumptuous and snobby, which you were right to point out. Again, that was not my intention.

I don't want to derail this thread with any of our differences so PM if you any further qualms. And all things considered, I think we just violently agree for the most part and disagree on why specific features should be implemented.

Or you can go to settings--->storage then choose format SD card.

Now, the app is compatible with ICS.

Go check it out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] collindubya:
this only works tho with other people using viber, is that correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrfenyx:
yes, correct. it's basically like skype or any other VoIP app. only thing that's special is that it doesn't require you to create an account and identifies you by your telephone number. that way you find people who use Viber and are in your contacts automatically and they are added to your contact list in the app.

Pretty nice I would say and call quality is also good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] collindubya:
I guess, ive been using dell voice, its 100% free, includeds a free phone number and you can call any major city in canada to any phone number for free..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alanid:
Can you use this to make free long distance calls in canada and the states? I've been trying to find something to do this since I don't have any long distance minutes with my plan but have a ton of data. I'm pretty sure that's what google voice does but it's only for the US.

EDIT: Nevermind. I just tried using the keypad to dial out a number and it doesn't work. What is your experience with Dell Voice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] collindubya:
Right now it's only canada..

Hi,

Incosistent

This service has inconsistent results.

At times it sounds fantastic, but in my experience, the results are wholly inconsistent and sometimes downright awful.

It has potential, but in my experience, not close to being ready for prime time.

I am using it on Verizon 4g with all bars and on wifi btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AznInertia:
That's how I feel with all these VOIP programs. I've used Viber and it was crap, even connecting over Wifi. This also includes Line (made by Naver), Sipdroid, etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
It's important to remember that voice quality depends on the connection strength on both sides of the conversation.

Sometimes your wireless reception could be low, and this is something we cannot control. Naturally this affects Viber's call quality and results in disruptions and broken sound.

We are continuously trying to improve our handling of broken/overloaded networks, so you can expect better performance as newer versions of Viber are released.

Please note that having full signal still doesn't mean your internet's bandwidth is at the maximum expected. When you see a "full reception bar", it merely means that physically, your phone is covered with the cellular signal.

When it comes to the bandwidth itself, your connection could still be slow due to various different reasons, such as being in an area with many other users from the same provider, thus congesting the network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noel_leon:
Viber Team, me and my wife are using your service while I am abroad so that we can keep in touch as much as needed. It is working great, and we aren't having major issues with the system. The quality of service is as expected when using VOiP-ish products.

I am having a minor issue with the notification I get for text messages though. The notification doesn't clear itself even when I open and read the text. It stays even if I hit the notification itself. The only way to remove the notification is to clear the entire notification list every time. This is happening for me on Android 4.0.3. Is this intentional, will it be fixed/looked into, or am I just stuck living with the extra step to remove the notification?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
Hi,

This is a known issue to us, and we're working right now to find its source and hopefully fix it soon. In other words, it's certainly not intentional. We are not sure in what version exactly this fix will be added - could be either in the upcoming 2.1.6, or 2.1.7 after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazypotato:
Viber "attached location" in Messaging is fairly inaccurate while Google Map app is clearly showing that the phone is able to find an accurate location in an indoor environment. Viber like over 1KM off. Google Map is like 40m radius. I don't see any point of attaching a location with over 1KM off. The purpose of the "attach location" is to tell friends where you are. I believe GMap utilize the feature that uses CellID and Wifi ID thru the API.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
The Location aware feature uses your GSM's (cellphone service provider) location signal, and its exact accuracy depends on your network provider. Viber does not use your GPS settings. You may leave your GPS on or you may turn it off. This will not affect the Location aware feature.

There may be a slight margin of error, depending which tower captures your location. Viber has no control of this. The information received by the tower is then displayed back to your device within Google maps. If reception is good and you are in a high-coverage area, the margin of error may be 1 to 100 meters +/-. Within large populated areas, with stable state-of-the-art GSM capabilities, the location awareness will have a greater accuracy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Biomera:
I have tried to install this on my Gnex. Every time I enter my phone number it never ever texts me. I tried to pick up the call from the website, it's long distance. I can't answer that. My voicemail didn't catch the number that was spoken. Please help me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
Please try removing Viber, wait 24 hours, reinstall and try again (make sure you try both the SMS and the automated call options). If this doesn't help, contact our support team at http://support.viber.com and give them the details of the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TorbenKB:
Every day, I get a dialogue box telling me that I need to activate Viber to continue use. I have done it every day so far, but it keeps coming back. I have never had that problem in Android 2.3.x before. What gives?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakimy:
everytime I try to add viber to my accounts & sync list,the list freezes and I have to click back twice or the home button to get out and when I return to the list nothing happens and no matter how many times I try to add viber to my accounts & sync list the same issue happens again :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
@TorbenKB -

What do you mean? Viber gets deactivated on a daily basis and you're forced to go through the registration process again?

Are you using a Custom ROM? If so, could you please check what IMEI number is displayed on your "About" page, inside Android's settings?

@Hakimy -

Do you have ICS installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TorbenKB:
I have to enter my phonenumber and the SMS code, actually just did it again.

I'm on a Custom ROM (Manhattan IC120) and the IMEI shown in Settings is exactly the same as my phone IMEI. If you want the IMEI, I can PM it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
@eezdva -

Thanks for the report. We're looking into this issue right now. Meanwhile, I suggest you make sure that contact has the latest version of Viber, and also that you take a look at this page for possible workarounds for the problem: http://bit.ly/rRtPqk

Hi, I am trying to install this on my Nexus 7 tablet (not rooted or changed) but Google Play is saying my device is not compatible. Is this true? why? I don't understand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
Please note that Viber is not officially compatible with Tablets, and that may be the reason for your inability to see it in Play Store.

Is there a way to increase the volume on viber? Its really hard to hear the other person talking for me and they say they're having trouble hearing me too at times. Don't get me wrong, it works but the audio seems terribly low. Anyone else have this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
Hi,

Has this problem started only with the new version of Viber? (2.2.x)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheStig03:
I have that same problem, Nexus S 4.1.1 my friend has an iPhone with the latest version of viber 2.2.x. this problem has started with the new version for me.

I also have another problem, since i updated to jellybean when someone sends me a picture and i view it, it doesnt show up in my gallery, but when i plug it in to the computer and open the viber folder the downloaded images are there, they just dont show up in my gallery, how do i fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
I second that...!!

coming here to report it and voila...seems like it is a bug! :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
and what the hell happened just now??

old messages delivered themselves again to the recipients, without me sending them! Just like that, out of nowhere, random messages were sent again to the original recipients (at least I hope so)!

wtf???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
@TheStig03 -

Thanks for the report, we will look into it. Meanwhile, we kindly ask you to take a minute and give the details of the problem to our Support Team via this direct link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0

Thanks in advance :)

@Nikos_s3 -

Could you please describe the problem with greater detail? Old messages were automatically sent to your contacts via Viber?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
goodmorning all :)

As far as for the photos bug not showing up in gallery, I already sent a bug report. I can see the new files (photos) through a file manager, but I cannot see the photos in phone's gallery, inside viber folder.

Af for the other matter, yes, the night before yesterday, 2 of my contacts sent me a text message saying that they don't understand. It took me by surprise, when suddenly I saw 2-5 very old messages of mine right above their last message. They were random messages and sent themselves again. As you can understand, this was totally weird and made no sense whatsoever.

I feel lucky that no message went to wrong recipiant...and also for this happening only once...hopefully...

Thanks a lot.

Nikos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
@Nikos_s3 -

About the photos bug - thank you for the report, we will look into it with the help of the details that you provided.

About the auto-sending of the messages - this might have been caused due to messages that were pending a long time ago, and were never actually sent (it's still a bug though, and we'll look into it right away). If this occurs again, please do let us know, and we will investigate it thoroughly.

Sorry for replying so late, but I never really used the previous version that worked with the Galaxy Nexus, I started using it again with the new 2.2 version of Viber and I'm on a OTA version of the stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greglord:
Hi Viber team-

I've recently switched to latest experimental build of Cyanogen 10 (samsung galaxy s 2) with version 4.1.1 of Android. After I've tried to install apk from your web page, installer just says "app not installed" or if I try to download it through Play Store, it just says application isnt compatible with my version.

It worked flawlessly on cm9.

I doubt cm9 changed so much to cm10 that Viber should stop working. But if you need a beta tester, please let me know :))

Regards,

Gregor
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
Dear viber team,

same incident happened 3 hours ago...while I was texting the exact two friends of mine, the very same messages that were delevered by themselves last time, did that gain. THe first friend got 1-2 messages , while the other almost 10 of them. It is very strange, because even if those messages were not delivered the first time they were supposed to, they did some days ago by themselves. So, it is not normal to be sent again...and again.

It is akward, as out of the blue, I receive messages asking what I mean. I reply, what do you mean and so on, until we both find out that something without meaning was sent by itself.

Looking forward to your reply,

regards,

Nikos

@jellobobbu -

I invite you to use this direct link and report the volume problem to our support team: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0

Thank you in advance :)

@greglord -

As I replied in other threads, unfortunately Viber does not officially support Custom ROMs, and this may be the reason for the problem you're experiencing (even if it worked with CM9, there is no guarantee that CM10 will be fine).

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.

@Nikos_s3 -

Thank you for the report.

I invite you to take a moment and report this strange issue our Support Team, so they can take a closer look at it. Please use this direct link, and they will get back to you as soon as possible: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
Thanks, I already did and here is the answer:

So, it looks we are ok for now...and waiting for the gallery fix. ;)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] puga74:
Hi viber team...not sure if this has been reported and/or answered but I still see 2 widgets on the latest update. I am currently using a galaxy tab 2 P3100 with ICS 4.0.4. On my previous galaxy nexus this was already an issue... appreciate your feedback!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
just updated viber to version 2.2.2...new photos still don't appear in gallery..:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
@puga74 -

Hi,

what exactly do you mean by "I see 2 widgets"? Please elaborate.

Also, please note that Viber does not officially support Tablets yet, and this may be a possible source of the the problem.

@Nikos_s3 -

We've run some tests here in our lab, and seems like photos are being saved normally in the gallery. Are you using an SD card maybe? Or any special way of saving data on your phone? (maybe another app is blocking new data from being saved unauthorized?)

Meanwhile (I apologize for it being the second time), but again - in order for our Support Team to look into it, I would appreciate if you took a minute and reported the details in that same link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0

Thank you in advance, and we apologize for the temporary inconvenience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
I say again that new photos do save themselves in the viber folder...but you can only see them through a file manager, by opening each file....what you cannot do, is see the new photos using the gallery app itself. I am using the galaxy nexus, which has no external sd card.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
Actually, version 2.2.2 seems to have fixed the problem, but only for new photos received with latest version.... photos I have received with 2.2.1 are still NOT viewable using the gallery app, though they are located in the viber/media folder. So, I think we are half way there...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
@Nikos_s3 -

Thanks for the report.

We will look into this issue, but it might not be possible to retroactively "release" photos from the problematic version :(

We're glad to hear that it now works for newly received photos though.

May I ask that you add a screenshot, so we could better understand what problem you're referring to? Thank you in advance!

This is a known issue, and we're working to fix it this very moment.

We hope to release a fixed version soon, which will be available on Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
You are welcome. What I mean is that in the recent calls list (second tab from the left) it seems like you have shortened the space for the names.

i.e let's say someone named George Papadopoulos calls me. Until previous version I could see in the list George Papadopoulos and next to it the time he called me...With latest update I only see George Papad...and the time he called, though there is enough space for the whole name to be shown.Even in landscape mode, where the space is really big, I keep seeing George Papad...

If you still need a screenshot, let me know.

Thanks :)
