Is viber still sorting out the kinks when it comes to some phones?
Viber on WP and Blackberry only have messaging ability currently.


Viber,
Is there any way of saving messages and reloading them when changing rom/wiping data? Only current way is Titanium Backup but as there are previously discussed issues with that I'd rather not use it.

Are there any updates for Viber on Blackberry? The app has been out for a couple months now with messaging only. Most blackberry users use BBM so with the VOIP feature this app is almost useless.

What about messaging people who have android/windows/apple phones

How does BBM work that?

Try to remember viber is CROSS-PLATFORM and therefore has many benefits over BBM or iMessenger... The delay is likely due to some of the less powerful blackberry devices (Curve 9300 for example) having limitations on processor-heavy VOIP applications

Hi,

colmtheperson's was pretty accurate - we are working these days on implementing our calling service in all of the supported devices and OS versions of Blackberry, and unfortunately this takes some time.

We apologize for the delay, and we promise to fill you in once we have news.

As a whole, Custom ROMs are not supported officially by Viber. We partly support some Custom ROMs, and CM is among them.
However, specifically CM9 alters the phone's microphone settings, thus not allowing Viber to detect the microphone properly (and this causes one-sided audio issues).

This issue was discussed thoroughly on XDA Forums, and even a user-based workaround was suggested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5#post25865775

Please understand that adapting ourselves to all Custom ROMs out there is not an easy task. We plan to attend to CM9 in the future, but unfortunately we still don't know exactly when that will happen.

Our upcoming version 2.2 (released hopefully within the next week or two) should be compatible with Jelly Bean. So - it won't take nearly as much time as ICS took, simply because the change between ICS and JB is not as dramatic as it was between Android 2.x and ICS

We'd love to get your feedback after installing Viber 2.2

Should be able to go into settings>apps, select viber and then you'll see clear defaults.

should stop it being default.

As explained above, the setting of Viber as a default dialer is actually an option provided to you by your phone (Android) and not Viber itself.

Will the BlackBerry version be updated today too?
Or is it just for Android and iOS?
