Hi Viber Team,

That's wonderful. We understand your problems. We will wait for you to fix it. Thanks for your reply...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eddie85u:
Hi, ever since used this fix (changed from SGH - I897 to Nexus S) waze won't launch, as soon as I open it I get the message "Unfortunately, Waze has stopped. Report/ok" Any idea on how to solve it?

I've even tried goind back to the default setting, wiped cache+dalvik+fixed permissions but still won't work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tanivula:
Have you tried clearing data from the waze app? Or uninstall and reinstall?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eddie85u:
yup tried all that, reverting changes, whiping cache + dalvik, deleting cache and data from waze, uninstalling, reinstalling and still wouldnt work, had to flash the rom again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Marcuzzi:
I don't think this is such a big issue. SGS with ICS will always be custom ROM. So the patch should be easy. SGS + gingerbread = current GT behavior. SGS + Android>=4 = use SGH behavior.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
Please see our response #62 to this issue. We explained there why we haven't implemented our fix to this problem (created by the ROM itself) yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jaazish:
To the Viber team - why does any other microphone using app work great on any custom or official release, while Viber is the only app with such a problem?

I suggest that you use more portable code for that, enabling you to support any version without any need to tweak it.

Needless to say, 'tweaking' our devices configuration which causes situation with other apps is not considered a solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
The voice engine that we implemented inside our app, that needs to communicate with various other platforms, is a very complicated HD codec. Add to that the fact that due to Android fragmentation, we needed to adapt it to many different phones and types of microphones, you can understand what work is needed to adapt it once more to all Custom ROMs out there.

All that while, keep in mind that Custom ROM users among all worldwide Android users, make up a tiny percentage.

The fact that users need to tweak their ROMs in order for Viber to work still does not make this issue a Viber issue. It is still an issue caused by the ROM developers who tweaked (to begin with) the ROMs in a way that the microphone settings do not match the original phone's settings to begin with.

As I explained above, we plan to devote our time and resources to see what can be done on our part to resolve this issue, but we are still not sure when exactly that'll happen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] unforgiven:
don't fight me :D

what do u mean by ''edit build prop''? :o

I don't understand what I should do in this level.sorry
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thaidroid:
Download buildprop editor from market and edit as per first page rename the phone from GT-9000 to Nexus S and the rest:D:D.

you have to tap on the line you want to edit in the build prop editor and then save the edited line:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcmanuf:
Fixes microphone but destroys loudspeaker

Does anyone notice that the 'fixes' on page 1 destroys the loudspeaker 'loudness' of the other party. For example in viber or tango you cannot hear the other party well when set on loudspeaker, but can hear them clearly when disabling the loudspeaker! This is not the case in gingerbread, as the loudspeaker is loud and clear when enabled during a call. Can anyone confirm this, at least in ics333 for viber and tango :(

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Torlo:
Confirmed, and I have to say that viber somtimes force close during a call.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcmanuf:
Thanks for your confirmation! I was going crazy over this issue as i dont see anyone mentioning it anywhere!

Have you also tried with ics333 or another ics rom?

Maybe some of the other ICS builds might have it working?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Torlo:
I'm on cm9 and I only uesed this rom...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcmanuf:
So now the issue is at least confirmed on

1) ICS333 2.0.1

2) CM9

3)...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alijones:
I have RemICS 1.3 and just changed like you say and worked fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franzyroy:
If it does not bother anything else ... why not! But is this the case?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] david23400:
Comfirmed too!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
All,

We are about to release our new version (Viber 2.2) hopefully within the next several days. Once available, we'd appreciate if you could let us know if the Force Close problem still persists.

All that while, please bear in mind that Viber does not officially support Custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] david23400:
Okay , will there be new languages? cause i helped to translate a bit :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
Unfortunately Viber 2.2 will probably not contain the new language interface yet (it will if we complete its testings in time for the release, but that is unlikely at this stage). We are working on it around the clock to finish it for our future upcoming versions, and will keep you posted once we have news :)

EDIT: I apologize, I must correct myself (and I have good news!) - our upcoming Android version 2.2 will probably contain several new languages (unfortunately not all of the planned ones). Once we have more specific news, I'll let you know :)

We thank you for your support with the translations, and we apologize for the delay in its implementation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheeWolf:
Hi,

I did not completely understand how to change the build.prop file - do the first 4 "GT-I9000" need to be replaced by "SGH-I9000" or "Nexus S"?

And why did artikeln write:

Why change ro.product.brand=Samsung? There is nothing to change!

Also, is the problem only in Viber or also in other apps similar to Viber, like Tango? I'm asking because whenever I call someone in Tango (I use WIFI and he uses data) its like the app automatically puts the phone on speaker, and I hear strange noises (and I believe I hear myself as well, haven't tested it much).

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Alexdream:
The same here with F4k ICS Rom, after applied this fix my phone is like a ****! :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcmanuf:
Viber 2.2 has been released

Hello.. i reverted my SGS back to 2.3.6 stock because neither CM7 or CM9 supported viber out of the box, and the build.prop hack did not work as expetected.

Does anyone know if things has become better with viber 2.2 on CM9? Without the issues of the build.prop hacks?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] florum:
viber is not working on cm10!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mozyman:
Probably a far reach, but will the new version include any compatibility with the latest Jelly Bean OS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
@mozyman -

Viber 2.2 does not support Jelly Bean

yet

. We are aware of this, and of course - we did not neglect our Jelly Bean users!

Don't worry, this is our top priority at the moment, and we are presently working hard on this issue and hope to have it resolved for you shortly. We ask our fans for a bit more patience, and we apologize for the temporary inconvenience :/

@florum -

What exactly is the problem in Viber on CM10 ?

Please see our general response regarding running Viber on Custom ROMs previously in this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vertron:
It would be good if you could add an option in the settings that forces Viber to stay in memory.

It keeps closing itself in the background. A friend send me a normal text message asking me if I got his Viber message. I opened Viber to check and 3 unread messages popped up from the same person about 30 minutes before he sent the normal text message... Notifications is turned on in the settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ReAvenger:
Calls now work properly in Viber 2.2, whereas previously, the other caller could not hear my voice, thanks for the update
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] florum:
@viber team:

i get unexpected error on start. cm10 + semaphore

hope it's just mine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ottomaani0:
Viber is not working with JB yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
@Vertron -

Viber cannot stay in foreground at all times. It is not realistic (since you would want to do other things with your device), and it would waste RAM.

It should work just fine when running in the background. It sounds like you have a problem with your C2DM notifications.

Which Android version do you have installed? Are you running a Custom ROM?

@ReAvenger -

We're thrilled to hear this news. Enjoy! :)

By the way, a general question to all users who experienced the one-sided voice problem - is this issue resolved in Viber 2.2 ?

@florum -

Please note that at this stage we don't officially 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.

@Ottomaani0 -

Viber 2.2 does not support Jelly Bean

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vertron:
Thanks for replying. I'm running ICS with a custom rom. Will turning on; "show Viber status icon" make any difference?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ottomaani0:
Yes I am aware of that :) I only answered to florum when he reported that Viber doesn't work with his CM10 :)

But I too hope to see Viber on Jelly Bean as soon as possible. Good luck for the whole team and thanks for this awesome app! With your help I have saved many euros from my phone bill! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vertron:
So we no longer need to use the build prop editor and change GT-i9000 to SGH-i9000 to fix this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] migamax:
Hi i am a noob can somebody provide a simple .zip file flashable via Recovery mod to fix this thing ? or at least provide Viber v2.2 app link because google play is forbiden in my country because of the sanction
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] davidgs:
I'm using CM9 with a Galaxy S (Vibrant) and yes, this is now fixed, no longer need the "prop" modification.

THANKS!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
@Vertron -

The "show icon" option should not have anything to do with the problem you're describing, it merely shows or hides the purple Viber icon at the top bar.

The issue you're describing may be caused due to the Custom ROM that you're running (note that Viber does not officially support Custom ROMs). Have you tested this issue on Stock ROM?

By the way - which device are you using?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vertron:
Samsung Galaxy S. It's no problem, it doesn't always not work, just every now and then. I'm used to opening Viber every so often to check for new messages now anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kathees:
Hi, Yes yesterday I updated viber and flashed latest nighty of Cyanogenmod 9. Without editing build.prop I tried to call my friend and he was able to hear me!!! :laugh: So yes, its solved! Thanks Viber Team :good:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ottomaani0:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Torlo:
Yes thanks

Now you deserve five stars rating :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] everlethal:
Everything works on CM9 for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thaidroid:
Install market enabler and you can set yourself up as an ATT user in the US. I'm running that here in Thailand and I can assure you that everything is available to me in the market. you have to download play(search Google) and install it first and ones it's on the phone start market enabler and set to ATT and in settings (for market enabler) tick set on boot and off you go.

:laugh:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
All,

We are thrilled to hear that the microphone problem on CM9 has indeed been solved. Enjoy the app, and as always, please feel free to contact us regarding any problem/suggestion you might have :)

@Vertron -

I apologize for my late response.

Having to check Viber for messages (without it notifying you) is not expected behavior. As I mentioned previously, this *could* be due to an unstable internet connection or the very fact that you're running a Custom ROM.

The next step for testing this issue is check whether or not it occurs on Stock ROM for you. If you decide that it's worth the test, and it the problem still persists on Stock, then I will direct you to our Support Team for further investigation of this issue :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcse_hst:
No modifications, nothing needed on latest version of Viber. Running fine on Jellybean 4.1.1

It need minor tweaks for speed that I am sure will be done in new versions.

Thanks Viber Team

Okay I recently updated my SGS2 to ICS and I am facing the same issue, the other party cannot hear me.

It's an ICS 4.0.4 with kernel 3.0.15-Siyah-s2

I downloaded the BuildProp Editor and tried editing the filename as suggested, but it kinda gets stuck at replacing name to SGH-I9000 and nothing else happens.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ms_saber:
I see that you come up with the solution for this problem, but I have one side voice problem with Galaxy SL I9003 with original ROM (2.3.6). What is that about?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
@ms_saber -

Hi,

Are you using the latest version of Viber? Is the other side also using Stock ROM? (in other words - factory settings?)

Lastly, have you ever had a Custom ROM installed on your device? because this might have altered the original settings of your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ms_saber:
Hi,

I have been using Viber to contact different devices all have latest version installed on. Besides, all devices including mine are running on Stock ROMs (Android 2.3.6) and I have never installed a custom ROM.

I look forward to your suggestions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
@ms_saber -

Thank you for the details

We kindly ask that you take a minute and report the details of the problem to our support team using this direct link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0 (when you submit the ticket, please make sure to add the URL of our conversation). With this information, our development team will hopefully be able to find the source of the problem, and ultimately resolve it. They might also ask you for logs in order to better examine this issue.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raul77:
I just want to report Viber does NOT work with Samsung S III CM10.1 / AOKP. what I dont get is what Viber does that is so different from ALL other apps,

Skype / Tango / Whatsapp all work with no issues, the problem is ONLY Viber.

Cheers,
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
Hi,

We (Viber) can guarantee that Viber is fully compatible with phones that we thoroughly tested in our labs. The list of devices we've tested is found in our HelpDesk: http://bit.ly/Hm5k9p . We've tested these devices with their original Stock ROM (one that comes from your factory, with no substantial modifications to the OS itself). This, by the way, is the case of the huge majority of Android phones across the world today - in other words, phones who have been "ROM'ed" are a tiny percent of all Android phones out there.

* And by the way, it's not true that Viber simply "does not work" on Custom ROMs. On the contrary - it actually works with them most of the time. However, sometimes some Custom ROMs collide with *some* feature of Viber, and when this happens unfortunately there is not much we can do to help, since we cannot afford to adapt Viber to all Custom ROMs out there, and all of their versions. This requires development, testing, etc, and we simply don't have these resources. We usually recommend those users to contact the ROM developer for further support - they may be able to resolve this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raul77:
Hi,

I dont understand why you are so defensive ! i was simply trying to help, i have tried all AOSP ROMs on S III and only Viber has been the app that has issues with the mic, i was hoping this might shed some light in fixing it and was not trying to attack Viber! as mentioned all my other apps work with no problem and i know Many S III users who can not use Viber because of the issue, You cant perhaps compare to see why apps like Skype / Tango etc all work fine with any ROM but Viber does not? if you need any testers i would be glad to help.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Viber Team:
[MENTION=3120108]Raul77[/MENTION] -

I was actually trying to sound purely informative.. I apologize if it sounded over-defensive ;)

Every application has different methods of coding, and in that - different ways of identifying and utilizing the microphone on each device.

Often, custom ROMs alter the inner definitions of your Android in regards to the microphone. This 'confuses' Viber into thinking it should approach the microphone differently. This is the usual cause for microphone / one-sided audio issues with Viber on Custom ROMs.

The thing is - we, as a relatively small company (unlike Skype, for example) - cannot afford to devote all the resources and manpower needed to adapt Viber to each and every Custom ROM. Ideally, if course we wish we did :(

In the specific case of CyanogenMod, for example, which is a hugely popular ROM, we did look into it and fix a problem that arose with Viber in the past. However, as for Custom ROMs in general, unfortunately our response stays the same for the time being: acknowledging the fact that the problem itself is caused due to the Custom ROM (meaning - it is the thing that changed the default settings), we recommend our users to contact the Custom ROM developers.

I apologize if this isn't the answer you were looking for, and we hope to have the time needed to adapt Viber to more Custom ROMs in the future.

As usual, we're here to receive your feedback and thoughts, and we'd be more than happy to assist you with any matter.

Best regards,

the Viber Team.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Escobarretje:
Hello Viber Team,

The new app looks good but there is one major problem for all CM10.1 users on the Optimus 2x Speed: we can not call anymore. Viber 3.0.0 instantly crashes. Thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265329&page=28 (read on from post #278). There is a log made already!

Thanks for the reply. The old version did work fine on our phone with a Custom Rom. The developer of the ROM already read the log but is not able to do anything because he doesn't have the Viber source code. Also, viber is the only app not working well.

It's kernel specific , audiohardware specific what? Where one has to look?

Since 2.3.2 works on most roms there is something changed from this version and on.
