Hi, are there any Viber Beta users out there?
None of my call recipients can hear me. Im wondering if any other SGS users (or even SGS users with CM7) can make successful calls?
Could it be a SGS x CM7 issue?
This is over excellent Wifi.
I can hear the other person very clearly.
Thanks peeps.
***EDIT***:
A ticket has been raised to Viber, don't flood them with CM7 SGS issues!
From Viber:
"Thanks for contacting us.
This issue has been transferred to the proper department and we're currently investigating this matter.
If more information will be required, a Viber representative will contact you in this regard.
We kindly thank you for your patience."
Same here and no joy at all.
I'm using CM7 Nightly 59 on Vibrant - same problem

MIUI huh? So it doesnt appear to be a CM7 problem.
Are there any Official ROM SGS users that are having problems!?
Same probleme here with CM7 but i can hear my friends who have got stock firmware!? Another friend has Boogies MIUI Custom Rom 1.6.24 and I can hear him so it must be another problem.. Has anybody found a solution? (Sorry for my english)
No solution yet.
Im trying to figure out where the problem is coming from so I know where to ask questions.
So it seems that Viber works for Stock SGS, but not MIUI or CM7.
http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/...ew/45/0/is-your-android-compatible-with-viber ... SGS is listed as working with Viber.
Anyone know if this is solely affecting SGS CM7 users? or with ALL CM7 users?
I have a i9000 running CM7 with the same problem. It isn't just the i9000 running CM7 who have this issue, but also on the Incredible (I'm not allowed to quote the source because of XDA linking constraints). I tried using the Tango app for voice/video-conversation, and it worked flawlessly there.
We should keep posting as we learn about this issue and inform the devs from either CM7 or Viber about it as well

Have you got the post number? e.g. showthread.php?p=15821083 for that thread?
I have tested the forfone app from the market and the same problem here so I think it isn't a viber problem.. But with skype everything is ok!?
I have the beta app, but didn't let me go further than typing my phone number in. I applied to be a beta tester over 2 months ago.
I'm on a LG optimus gt540 with cm7

It wasn't on XDA, but on Reddit (/r/Android/comments/iunhy/viber_finally_launched_for_android_free_calls_and/c26tabk). I forgot to mention that this wasn't the same problem (he got FC), but he ran CM7 on his phone and had a problem with the app.
As i see it... as I am sharing the problem as well... we need to see if it is working on other devices that run on CM7 or MIUI not just the sgs.
then we will know if it is a problem just with the sgs or with CM7..
same here.
sgs+cm7 can hear but cant speak.
tested with iphone, android, over 2g, 3g wifi
It seems that it's a problem in Viber on all galaxy phones.
take a look at the second comment:
http://www.viberfaq.com/viber-android-beta-version-review/
Viber works just fine. Stock odexed JVQ+speedmod kernel
As stated by "DaRkMyk", just uninstall the beta and download the new version from Market. It's working just fine for my SGS, Juwe's 5.2 Rom.
I9000T Mexico + CM7 no mic!
It seems that Viber is fine for Stock SGS ROMs, which is expected since Viber specifically developed and tested on it.
Haven't really got a definitive answr for MIUI ROMs, but there definitely seems to be a problem with CM7 and SGS.
Anybody know any CM7 non-SGS users out there? Do you know if Viber works for them?
Hey everyone!

Bump!! i gave all the details i will be more calm if someone just says

At this stage, we don't support custom ROMs with Viber (except basic ones, like CM7 and MIUI). Running Viber on a customized ROM results in various side effects, some of which are severe, but unfortunately we can't afford to support ALL those ROMs at this stage. You might want to contact the ROM developers and ask if any adaptations could be made there in order to support Viber.
FYI - many times microphone problems (like the one you're experiencing) are caused by the fact that the ROM causes the phone to "think" that it's actually a different phone, resulting in a different usage of the phone's microphone by Viber. "Model Number" in "About" page sometimes reflects this issue - so please let me know what phone you're using, which Android version, and what's written under "Model Number" in your "About" page.
To all,
We (Viber) are about to release multilangual support for Viber at last!
Since we know that XDA's great advantage is having so many members from different places in the world, we would appreciate your help with translation to your personal language. This means adding missing translated lines, and confirming the existing translations previously added by users: http://translate.viber.com
Remember - we let the community of our users shape Viber and device what it looks like
If you have any questions please let me know. We thank you in advance,
the Viber Team.
So i will sat it again as i said it in the OP!
At the moment I'm using MIUI mintberry, BUT i tried viber an multiple roms like:
-stock jvt (flashed via odin)
-stock cyanogen
-stock MIUI
-cyanogen with platypus
-stock instanity CM
-insanity with platypus
-miui mintberry with platypus
theese with xxjvk zsjpg and bvjjpg modems
at the general section it says GT-I9000
IMEI is correct its the same as the one behind the battery
so i really dont understand whats the problem
i figured out i can activate with two activation code 4758 and 4759
please help!
When you say "stock MIUI and "stock instanity CM" you're basically saying that your Android is NOT stock. The definition of Custom ROM is installing any ROM that's not the original one you got from your cellular provider.
You can try and contact our support team at http://support.viber.com - they might be able to assist you further.
I said i tried it with stock JVT thats the original stock rom from samsung with stock kernel!
We are going to do our best with investigating this issue, but it is almost impossible for us to pinpoint the source of the problem if ALL of your phone's settings were stock.
All I can offer to you is to wait for our upcoming Viber 2.1.3 and see if the problem is resolved there.
so you re saying viber 2.1.2 is supposed to be working with the GT-I9000 and something s wrong with my device so ill kepp trying you not getting any wrong experience feedback from other i9000 users
On the contrary - Viber fully supports GT-I900, as written in our official website: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/.../View/100/0/cant-download-from-android-market
same problem as the OP here... any news about it?
I'm on Teamhacksung's ICS alpha 17 with semaphore kernel.
Hi,
If I understand correctly, you are using Galaxy S i9000 with a CM9 Custom ROM. Is that correct?

Correct.
If as "custom" you mean anything other than stock.
Have you tested Viber on Stock ROM on your phone? Does the problem persist even then?
Hi everyone.
I bought galaxy mini GT-S5570 couple of days ago especially to use programs such as viber or nimbuzz. But when I installed viber on my phone I had the problem that i can hear the person who calls but he cannot hear me . Obviously it is not a hardware issue. Coz the mic works perfectly on both phones when using regular calls. I saw a thread on this website on same issue but it was for Galaxy S i9000. But it did not work on my mini.
My device is rooted*
Anybody knows to solve this issue please let me know otherwise this android device will be useless to me.
Thank you
Hi,
This is a member of the Viber R&D team.
We are aware of this issue on some devices, and we are making the required adjustments to the new Viber voice engine.
We will release the new build 2.2 really soon, and we welcome you to keep us updated on the overall performance of Viber.
Let us know if you have any more questions.
Thanks,
Viber team
Hi guys anyway of fixing this problem ?
As we mentioned, we would recommend you to try out the upcoming version 2.2, and let us know if the problem persists on it.
All that while, please note that at this stage we don't officially support custom ROMs (or rooted devices) 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.

Hahaha...sorry but why don't support rooted devices?!? what it has to do the root with viber?!?
It is only a hypothetical, official statement that we make. Basically, you are right - it shouldn't have anything to do with Viber at all, however if Rooting is done badly, it could affect the whole phone's functionality.
And with the case of Custom ROMs - it's obvious how it can affect Viber

For the custom rom's i know is obvious in fact i don't i've asked, but the root don't can be made bad, basically are only some files that give the access to system, than the root it has nothing to do with viber.
I can't instal viber, play store says incompatible device...i downloaded apk from another site but installation doesn't work: application not installed!

Hi,
We apologize for our late response.
Have you tried the direct link our official HelpDesk? http://bit.ly/rqbZEw
Which device are you using?
Hello, i use custom rom of gingerbread (XXJW4) with semaphore kernel and now i'm thinking about ICS or jelly bean. Are these versions stable and every functions of my I9000 will work? Could you recommend me any ROM + kernel? I don't know which one I should choose. I'm still not sure if i really need ICS or JB, but I want to change my actual ROM, because it isn't so stable. Actually what will change for me? I've installed go launcher so newer touchwiz will be probably unused.
Greetings
C-Rom Jelly bean and semaphore kernel

are you talking about this?
I have one more question.
I use 'hacked' camera and fm radio apks from this forum (without low battery lock and some other features). I can't imagine that I couldn't use camera below 15% of battery if my I9000 can still work for next few hours of awake. I can see these mods are builded for Froyo, GB, e.g.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980835 Will I be able to use it with android 4.1?

Short answer, No
Although to be honest, I'm unsure if there is such a restriction in Cyanogenmod (the ROM I use).
CM10 is completely stable (despite there being no official "stable" release as yet).
Non-Samsung ROMs do not have Samsung Apps which include the FM Radio App.
As such, Cyanogenmod does not have FM radio support inbuilt, but you can install Spirit FM either the free version (restricted) from xda or paid, full version from the Play Store.
Skip ICS. The media bug in it is a pain in the **s. Really annoying.
All JB roms here are good, just check the correspondent OPs carefully.
thanks for your answers, so i will try this cyanogen10 JB, but earlier I have one more question
Is there any kernel for I9000 which implements the two-way-call-recording function?
I didn't see a call recording function since gb... Would be nice to know if that is still possible?
@alexri, i saw call-recording apps especially for i9000 only for Froyo. Do you know any good app for GB?
I tried many 'MIC recording apps' from google play, but in everyone when the recording starts my caller stops to hear me (in some apps it happens instantly, in others just in about 1st or 2nd second of call). I try also Total Recall and his 'strategies' of recording, but always the problem cames up. I think my ROM locks that function so this is the next reason of my looking for new soft.
Anyone using RemICS-ux on an I9000M? Every post I've seen suggests its close enough to the international version not to have issues.
RemICS uses the XXJVT modem. Should I use the KG3 modem if I flash it? Thanks.
Hi,
Plz suggest any stable & working Jelly Bean ROM with FM Radio.
Hello All,
I have Samsung Galaxy Note I. While calling from viber I am able to here other party's voice but other party cant hear my voice. The ROM and Kernel details are as below.
ROM -
Paranoid Android Version 2.51
CyanogenMod Version 10.0.0 - RC0 - n7000
Kernel -
3.0.15 - CM - g39df795
[email protected] # 1
I used Hydracore v7 Kernel and faced the same issue but when i restored to Paranoid Android version 2.22 my viber is working fine. It is found that the Kernel version is different
Kernel -
3.0.15 - CM - g712c2c6
[email protected] #1
As I am facing this issue i cannot upgrade the ROM to 2.51. Is there any other kernel I can use which will help me to use the PA ROM 2.51 and viber is also working...
Awaiting for the reply
Thanks & Regards
Rahul
try any other recent rom as well and check if viber is working fine. If yes then might be an issue with the ROM. ask in rom thread,
try other apps like Skype etc to check if they also show the same symptoms to be very sure
Hi,
This is an official representative of Viber Media.
It sounds like the typical Custom ROM issue - some custom ROMs alter the microphone definitions of your phone, causing Viber not to recognize the phone's microphone properly. That is the reason that Viber cannot transmit your sound to the other side. We discussed this issue in detail with our users in this thread on XDA Forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25865775#post25865775
Please note that in that thread, a workaround was suggested *by a user* that seemed to have solved the problem for Galaxy S+S2 users.
Thanks,
Viber
Easy, Roll back to PA 2.5.0 and problem solved.
PA 2.5.1 has tons of bugs and issues.
Including it made ALL voice input not working regardless of what kernels
Like : Viber, Skype, Google Now, Whatsapp audio recording.
2.5.0 is far superior rom, blazing fast and no major issues at all.
