[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxloverxx:
Frankly I don't see how the dev team hasn't, 3/4 of a year later, issued an update that literally affects the usability of the entire phone. I can't count the number of times Viber's turned the screen on in my pocket and drained the entire battery within 2 or 3 hours. I count myself fortunate that I only have 1 contact who uses Viber.

Also, many phones are set to require a Google account login or wipe the entire device after a certain number of incorrect unlocks. That kind of thing happening in your pocket…I do wonder if the Viber team actually use their phones as pocket devices as opposed to keeping them on the desk all day.

How long can it take to modify the code such that it stops turning the screen on, really? :confused:

Hi,

As we said, the new option to disable the lighting up of the screen has been included in Viber, and pending the release of our major new update Viber 4.x

We apologize for the wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxloverxx:
You've been saying that for far too long now. At least give us an ETA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
Actually we never officially said that the fix has been implemented (as it is now).

We prefer not giving an ETA for the release, as we are not sure about the exact release date. I can tell you that we are certainly not talking about months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klukiyan:
great

half of the world is impatiently waiting for this update.

I was going to uninstall viber until I came across this message
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n00bvn:
right. this problem of Viber is really annoying. everytime i got new message, it turn on my screen automatically.

pls fix this asap!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klukiyan:
this is a kind reminder from all viber users that we are still waiting for update :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BillBauman:
Hey, everyone. I sort of reached the fed up point today.

I'm using Viber more and more because I feel WhatsApp bait-and-switched on me from when they said years back "completely free", yes, they said this, and now they want me to pay. I don't mind buying apps, I buy a ton of them, but holding me "messaging hostage" with a bait and switch leaves the most sour taste in my mouth of principles. But now, I deal more and more with my screen being on, when my phone's in my pocket, just sitting on the desk, wherever. This MUST stop.

More and more of my friends are on Line now. It seems to have a business model that allows for free calls, doesn't have simple text messages blocked in half the countries I visit (Viber, fix port blocking, at a minimum, move text to a different port, it isn't that hard), and doesn't turn my damn screen on when I don't want it.

So, Viber, there you have it, even with a free model, you can still lose customers to MONTHS of having not fixed a problem (yes, PROBLEM) that no other messaging app seems to have. Your users will leave, they will move, I've done it once, "we're" all doing it "again" constantly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klukiyan:
totally agree

Tired of waiting for the update

uninstalled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FInixNOver:
As did I!! And I hope everyone will do the same, until they fix that, or at least include an option to disable it!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] riccardoroma:
and we got almost october and the problem is still here...

Not months ?

weird... seems more than months..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XxM4tzexX:
Is there a way to have a workaround with tasker?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
We are sorry to hear that you decided to uninstall Viber.

Our new major update (Viber 4.0), containing the new feature that allows disabling the lighting up of the screen upon incoming messages, is just around the corner now (weeks hopefully).

We hope that once it's released, you'll try it out and enjoy the new feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FdeKlerk:
Viber issue

Not to say that Viber team is "extremely" bussy, but i can promise you that fixing a problem does not take 5 months!!!

In response to this I would say in general that the viber users is waitng for an update that would do everything except fixing the problem at hand.

So instead "Viber team" of building an update, try to fix the problems first in witch you can implement the fix in your new update and this would make us "the viber users" happy to see a change!!:mad:

5 months is putting it mildly. It's now a year since it started

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gerickjohn:
I agree.. A small patch would've been most convenient. =/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kulisgames:
I have the same problem as OP, installed Viber today - already thinking of unistalling. I wonder if this is isolated issue on few phones or is it like this for everyone and people just don't care. :confused:

What happens is that the screen goes on on new message. It is still locked. But of course it is annoying because it drains battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
As we said, we have listened to our users' feedback and this behavior will be optional in our upcoming new update (Viber 4.0)

There will be an option that allows to disable the lighting up of the screen :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FInixNOver:
Bla bla bla Viber 4.0 this, bla bla bla Viber 4.0 that... BUT, Viber 4.0, WHEN???!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klukiyan:
worst user support ever

Ooo

this thread is still alive

upcoming = wait another 12 months?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
As we explained above - we expect 4.0 to be ready within weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
It'll be ready within weeks! Within 52 weeks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alakazamcho:
I also had a bad time with the wake up screen: as it woke up in my pocket, I managed to text an unknown number, call my mom, change time and date an eventually set my device to airplane mode. I have uninstalled Viber and really doubt I'd go back to using it any time soon. Really big disappointment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ptitflo21:
too late for me, I left viber, and my friends too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomad4ever:
I can't believe that problem is still there? 12 months ago it was the reason why I uninstalled viber. I reinstalled today, coz 2 of my friends in Indonesia keep using it...But sorry! Not like that. What a shameful disregard for user wishes!

Facebook chat will just do fine for those 2. WhatsApp and Hangouts for the other 99%. Forget that bull**** service called Viber! Extremely annoying! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kulisgames:
This behaviour you can turn off in settings. It only activates the lock screen without unlocking it. Annoying as it is, you won't accidentaly send anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
We'd like to note the difference:

Even at the moment, Viber does unlock the screen upon an incoming message or call (unless the user chooses to do that - it's optional).

What it currently does is that it lights up the screen. As we explained, we added an option to disable this in our upcoming Viber 4.0.

We ask for just a bit more patience, and we apologize for the temporary inconvenience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b4mboozle:
Stop it. Just stop it.

Very few people here are mistaking the difference. The issue is you have promised a fix to for months now and failed to deliver. And please stop trying to make your customer interaction seem anything above minimum simply because you post comments in a thread addressing issues with your product twice a month. It's borderline insulting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
It was not our wish to insult you, and the fact that we are here in this thread is not to offend anyone, it is to keep our users informed (similar to what we do in many other XDA threads, and many other forums across the world).

We apologize if it seemed that way. If that is the users' wish, we will stop posting messages in this thread until our upcoming new Viber 4.0 version is released (including the new desired option). We will be monitoring the thread after the release of the new option to make sure that it is fully working and answers our users demand.

We realize the wait for that feature was too long, and we apologize for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alakazamcho:
All of you, guys, hating, insulting , demanding and all, should keep in mind that Viber is free. Even tho the app needs users to work properly, we can not want every new feature to get available instantly. Respect the developers! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FInixNOver:
Do you call instantly to a feature that has been promised for over a year now?!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeroCGTI:
Sound + LED indication is usually enough for me. In case I can (and do want), I'll light up the screen myself and see what's going. I truly dislike it lighting up and staying like this for 15/30 seconds everytime I get a message..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sparkdroid:
The team at Viber has been very slow in implementing the fix... When this first started happening to me, I gave it a Play Store rating of 1 star with a comment which explains that there needs to be a feature to allow the screen wake behaviour to be optional. I have updated my review every time there has been an update to the app which doesn't fix this problem (I am now on v3.1.1). I suggest you do the same. The whole point of the rating system is to give feedback so others know about apps before installing them. They have been sitting on their hands about this bug for 10 months now and deserve this.

Give the Viber app a 1 star rating until this is fixed.

And the repetitive posts from the Viber Team about how their app "doesn't do any unlocking and only wakes the screen" shows that they don't understand what is happening. When the screen is on, then the touchscreen is active and objects near the phone (like your butt) can perform actions. Many people on XDA install other ROMs and tweaks which allow many activities to be started directly from the lock screen. However, this is not the point because even the stock OS can allow your butt to unlock and then anything is possible.

Again... Give the Viber app a 1 star rating until this is fixed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alakazamcho:
Why does the app require so many ermmissions? Could anyone explain?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
[MENTION=4603010]alakazamcho[/MENTION] -

Hi,

Every permission we require from the phone is used for one function or another.

Note that some permissions are used for optional features. The app needs the permission to do something, but you have the choice whether to enable it or not. If you don't, that permission will naturally not be used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alakazamcho:
Thank you for the replay. I have suggestion tho, and I think other users should also give their opinion. I think the emoticons should be easier to get. Not that it's troublesome or something, but putting the picture and video attachment in the middle of the attachment menu is a bit unusual. I think we use emoticons far more frequent than sending pictures. My opinion is they should be in the middle and the stuff from the middle should be moved right. I hope you get my point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sveex:
Thought whatsapp's refusing to work with ART on 4.4 would leave me without a messenger, but no! Viber's biggest bug is fixed! However, it still once in a while manages to pop up my SMS messages through viber even though it is turned off in settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viber Team:
@ alakazamcho -

That's a nice point.

we invite you to enter our Feature Request page and post your suggestion there, or join an existing similar suggestion. Unfortunately it is not possible for us to integrate every suggested feature into Viber, but the more people join on a request, the faster it will become reality :)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walpow:
I just got my Nexus 7 yesterday. I'm having a ball with it ... 4.2 is a giant step up from the 2.3 I have on my phone. One glitch so far: If I go into Google Now, I can say "Google" to initiate a voice search ... but only once. It'll do the search (and the voice recognition is surprisingly good), but when I say "Google" again - either on the results page or after returning to the main Google Now page - it doesn't react. If I close Google Now and restart it, it'll react to the word again (but again only once). Is this how it's working for everyone else?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erik077:
Can someone suggest me good GB ROM? I need something with good battery time and one with no GPS issue.

I have ICS (Re-Calked.E4GT.0.2.0.Gear3) which was fine for long time and recently battery is dying with 5h-6h in stand by mode and phone is getting awfully hot (random shutdowns are there). I tried another battery, same issue still there. Battery shows around 65% on screen which is funny, screen is off and phone sits on my desk - in front of me).

To be honest I never even liked ICS on first place because of small things (etc: when resize font on exchange email - font reset itself as soon you go out of one mail message to other). Suggest me a good ROM (priority taken are GB, but I might try others as well if you convince me)

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mac of York:
Calk 3.0 GB ROM should be perfect for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MykalDre:
I agree calks 3.0 is the best gb rom we ever had. But if u want to make the jump to jb there hasnt been any problems for me on mattix's deodexed fk23. Gps gets me in my room of my house. All other roms have just got the house.. or the neighbors house. Battery for me after debloat and few tweaks has been about 7-8 hours with 3+ hours of games and web. 12+ hours if I use it just as a phone text/call, and the xda app of course. Best battery life ive had with the stock battery.

he states that he tried a different battery already and still having the same issue.

Then somethings probably wrong with the device itself, if the rom was running fine and suddenly started overheating and rrandomly shutting down that's not the rom, its either hardware or a conflicting app

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssassinFuze:
I apologize in advance if this is a repeat post in any way. I have searched a lot through the forums and didn't really find the answers I needed. It's very possible I missed them, with the millions of posts, so I thought I might make a post of my own.

I got my Nexus 4 a couple days ago and I'm facing the following problems:

1. Battery drain is ridiculous. I'm getting 12 hours with fairly light usage (I don't do any gaming), but everything (except Bluetooth) turned on

2. My charger makes a weird humming noise when the phone is not plugged in

3. When I'm on a call, I lose data 90% of the time, and I constantly lose service in places I have never had any problems

4. If I have my phone plugged into my car via aux cable, phone calls sound funny. It sounds like the person is standing ten feet away form their phone.

5. My earpiece has a weird noise to it

6. If I tap the phone on top, it sounds like something is lose in there

7. I can't run a Speedtest for the life of me, and I can't find APN settings that fix that for me

Is anybody else facing these problems? I'm afraid my device is faulty, but I don't want to wait 2 months to get a replacement...

Everyone of your " problems" has its own thread. I'd point you in the right direction for a few of them, but I'm busy at work. I just figured i'd let you know to search and you'll find what you're looking for
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugotproblemz:
nope. perfectly fine here

1. may GPS and other background syncing is causing the problem?

2. No sound here.

3. You shouldnt lose data while on call...you should be able to call and have data at the same time

4. Havent tried since the base of the aux is too big to fit

5. the earpiece is known to have static/buzzing noise if your talking about that

6. most probably its the camera. its been noted that if you place your phone down (back first) it rattles...that is due to the camera. If you shake it, then its another metal piece inside that rattle. i have both, though it rattles, i dun "feel" any loose parts

7. what carrier are u using for apn?

It is but it's hard. I already explained it here on the beats audio headset thread. There's some things that needs to be edited on the kernel side.
