When are we going to have Viber up and running as serious competition to the Mobile Companies .I CAN'T wait !!!!

Viber

@Cossax -
Unfortunately nothing official, not yet.
Meanwhile, we offer the possibility to enter our official HelpDesk (http://helpme.viber.com) where all of the relevant information - also about future plans - can be found. Naturally, some plans are outlined there in a more general tone, since in the technological world it is sometimes hard to foresee obstacles that delay projects and ETAs.

@paddyandy -
What exactly do you mean? Viber already provides a free calling & messaging service

I have a similar problem as above with my Galaxy Ace Plus but when I tried your advice and other steps on the viber site it still won't work.

I get an error message on the phone saying "There is a problem parsing the package"

Can anything be done?

Hi,
Please note that Viber does not officially support Ace Plus, as seen in the list of officially supported devices in our HelpDesk: http://bit.ly/rqbZEw

However, it should still overall function. Pleas specify which version of Android you're running, and whether or not you're using a Custom ROM.
Also, have you tried contacting Android support forums? This error message may not be related to Viber specifically, but to Android itself.

I am currently considering upgrading my phone from the wildfire to the desire c

Can anybody here (viber or boardsie) tell me if viber will function on the desire c? I'm aware of the limitations on the wildfire and just wondering will I have the same problems if I get the desire c

I only noticed yesterday that if I try and share something, viber is missing the big list of apps and options to share with. I went to share an app from the share option in the market. It had all the usuals (whats app, message, email, yahoo mail etc) but viber was missing. Is that normal? I've a galaxy s 2 with ICS, unrooted.

I just checked on my Galaxy Nexus with stock and checked the sharing options on a picture. Viber is on the list for me.

Edit: Sorry, read your post properly just there, and Viber not on the list of app share options for me either.

Paparazzo

Yeah, just noticed it for apps. The share option through the market doesn't work, tried a built in share option through an app and it didn't work either.

Normal for me HTC Wildfire stock 2.2

Edit: Meaning I also can't find the share option lol

Two of my friends joined viber and I got the notification that they are now on viber.

When I click free call, it says that this person is not available to call on viber but you can call them normally. One person has a windows phone of some sort and the other a blackberry.

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

Viber

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.

Hi Viber,

Regarding custom roms will you be adding support for CM9 soon? You said over on the cm forums that cm is one custom rom you guys support

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/showthread.php?p=25865775#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.

I got Jelly Bean today, and I see Viber isn't working with it, is this going to be like ICS again with months of waiting?

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.

Is there a full changelog we can dig through anyhere while waiting for the market refresh?

Nolimits

Does it work with Jelly Bean yet?

jossul1179

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