How do I make calls form my headset with out it having to call me back first, you know like a regular cellphone, i know it can be done because i followed instructions from a thread on this which i can no longer find. ive tried clicking call through in gv but that doesn't work, can someone help pls. thanx in advanced
I know that the official Google Voice app does direct dial without ringback. Maybe you want to transition to that app instead.
as for the unofficial GV app, i'm not sure.
Doesn't DirectDial (dialing out) still use your minutes?

For whatever reason, Viber just WON'T send me my access code! ><" Not even after I go to the "Get Code" part...ToT
edit: nevermind, I guess they just ran out of beta codes, so I'll most likely have to wait till they send me mine in the next few weeks.

Already did that, I have the APK and it installed fine. My problem is that my access code is never sent to me, hence I can't verify my account.
Hi everyone,
We (Viber) are just as excited as you are for our new beta.
We're thankful for your feedbacks, and hoping you are finding it useful!
A few messages and clarifications:
1. Although I'm following this thread, we would like to ask you to post all your technical issues and suggestions in our official Android webpage: blog.viber.com/viber-beta-support
2. For those who are not receiving the code or getting the error message saying they need to subscribe: the only way for you to successfully install our beta is to have subscribed, and wait for our official invitation email. Otherwise your email and number won't have been activated, thus you're blocked (we didn't want our .APK to simply be open to EVERYONE in the world). Please wait patiently. It might take up to a week, but you should eventually receive the email and use it freely.
3. If you haven't subscribed in the official way yet, you can still do it here and wait for our email: eepurl.com/bW1Ln
For other info or questions, I'm here!
Best regards,
Viber.
I registered even before december last year and didnt get a beta invite yet... so probably its still too early to get really excited, as there are thousands of people that registered later... especially over the last time.
Makes only sense of course if they send out the codes in the order as people registered.
EDIT:
I have to correct myself. i never got an invite email from viber, but using the email i used back then to subscribe i could register here http://www.viber.com/android-beta/ without any problems. i just had to try some email addresses as i didnt know anymore which one i used back then. I didnt recive a sms but the activation call worked without any problems.
So yeah, even if you didnt get an invitation mail it might work. And YES, i checked my spamfolder before!

Hi there.
Why do I see the Viber logo in the notification. Isn't there any possibility to turn it off?
I thought you receive your calls and messages through push notification?

I think thats kinda annoying too. if every running service would show an icon, there would be no space left...
As the service is always running in the background anyway, there is simply no need to show the symbol all the time.

Well i think we need that icon to see if the Viber Server in ONLINE or OFFLINE i like it !
I found a problem VIBER , when someone calls me when i try to Accept the call i have to touch the Accept button and wait a little then swipe it to right side, if i swipe immediately the call is Rejected and doesnt inform the other side (the caller) that i Rejected his call.

Thats kinda redundant, as you should safely assume that you are connected to viber as long as you have an online connection... if its usual that you cant connect to viber while having an online connection, it basically means the service isn't very reliable.
Just applied for both me and the missus. Hope we get in.

For me, the WhatsApp solution is way better. Even if I quit the app with ATK, I get my mails pushed. I don't even see Viber in ATK.
That's quite unacceptable for me.
Zhe rest of the app is fine for me.

if you quit the WhatsApp client, the WhatsApp service is still running... i dont get your point. Whats the problem with services running in the background anyway? As long as they are not eating up your battery which shouldn't be the case if they are properly programmed.
i mean as long as they dont eat up space in the notification bar

Homez, I know that Viber is not really draining my battery, I just don't want to see the logo in the notification bar. The application can run in the background, it can even run besides me if it wants. I just want my notification bar clean ;-)

And i got an invitation mail to the beta today... a little bit late regarding i am using the beta already since last week. And it works really good for me... besides not deactivating the screen while calling (proximity sensor) but im sure they will fix this soon.
Hallo
How to stop or change viber sound notification?
TiA
Hi,
This is a member of the Viber R&D Team!
@shto - Changing Viber's notification sound is not available at this point. :/
However, we'd be happy if you add your idea via: http://bit.ly/H2xu54 Thanks!
You can stop Viber sounds form your regular device settings - Viber mirrors the device setting.
Please feel free to let us know your thoughts, questions and comments, we'd be happy to assist.
Thanks,
the Viber Team
Hi
Where is sound files?
It is no possible to change it?
Unfortunately we (as a company) cannot direct users to the exact files of the sounds (they are embedded within the app file).
As we said, we plan to add the option of customizing Viber's sounds in future versions.
We apologize for the temporary inconvenience.
Tanks, but .. why you need to doing embedded sound files in application !? I don't understand you ....
Come on viber we have been waiting a long timeeee

@htcmodteam -
We are aware of this request, and it is certainly high on our check list of development for future versions.
Once we have news about this feature, we'll make sure to inform you.
It's still not there after a year...
Hi,
We have since added an option in Viber to use the phone's ringtone+vibration settings, and we can see our users find this feature very useful.
We will consider adding an option to completely customize Viber's sounds and vibration in the future.

It's really annoying to have viber sound for every chat message. All other messaging apps have disable notifications. Appreciate if you can disable sounds.

This is a known request, and we are considering to add such a feature in future versions of ours.
Meanwhile, 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

+1 on removing chat sounds. It's annoying that it beeps and boops when receiving and sending messages. Other than that is the best chat app I've used so far.
Can we stop the stupid 'beep beep' sound whenever we receive a msg in viber yet?
Why is it so freaking hard?

Yes. Running Viber 4.0.0 on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running stock JB 4.1.2. I already uncheck 'Use system sounds' and it still beeps whenever a msg came in...
What else do I need to do?
Thanks.
agree as well. I dont mind if i cant change the sound of notifications but it really bothers me that i cant turn it off . Its quite annoying especially of you are in a chat widow with many participants

and not just 'beep beep' when a msg comes in, it also 'beep beep' when I sent out a msg...
Beside that, more bugs:
-------------------------------
- after I quit Viber by options->exit, when a msg came in, it still beeped and gave notification. If I quit Viber, it means I don't want to receive/send anything and therefore I don't want 'beeps' and notifications. Please stop everything when I choose 'exit'.

@testrider -
This is the expected behavior from Viber at the moment. We see Viber as a "substitute" for your mobile service, meaning even if it's closed (using no RAM or bandwidth), it still remains available thanks to the C2DM service.
Viber's "exit" capability is relatively unique in the messaging space. Our statistics indicate that the vast majority of Viber users (well over 95%) never use this feature. In discussions with users about this feature we learned two things:
1. Those who wanted exit were typically "power users"
2. Overwhelmingly, the reason they wanted "exit" was not to become inaccessible but rather to make sure Viber does not consume any resources. Still, they expected Viber to be accessible even if they exit the app (via C2DM).
We believe the number of users that want to an exit feature that will turn off Viber completely represents an extremely small number of users - maybe 1 in 10,000 overall. As such, we do not believe adding an "exit and turn off notifications" feature is needed. It would merely serve to unnecessarily complicate the application. We are sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for, but we need to make sure that adding features that would make some happy would not hurt other users.
+1 for turn off notification sound!!
And I already posted request on your database.
if you use old version of viber app, to stop it to check/prompt for updates, add this to hosts file
Code:
127.0.0.1 www.cdn.viber.com
127.0.0.1 cdn.viber.com
I am using ASUS Zenfone a450cg and i am pretty upset with the interface that is used to receive calls, to be precise my prob is while i bring my phone out of my pocket, often the Reject Call with Message option gets activated thus end the incoming call. Is there any way to change the default interface. I have tried installing a few Dialers bt that didnt helped. Does installing a custom ROM will help me? If so, which one should i look for and what are the procedures, precaution should i look for? Please help guys...
Just Download App locker....

Just go to Play Store and download App Locker... Then in its locking options lock incoming calls and set a pattern.. This way you will be asked to enter that particular pattern every time you receive a call and you won't be accidentally rejecting calls... Much better than going for a custom ROM... Works with my Zenfone Hit Thanks if I helped you...
Update to LOLLIPOP and update contact app and in its settings disable reject sms and it lock screen call ui show swipe to ans and rej..
No worries

Hey Guys, you all must be knowing that Whatsapp is testing call feature as reported by a reddit user.
[UPDATE 1] I am aware of a similar thread but it does not address the problem of no contacts.
I followed the thread and discovered that the thread started was the only one to have that feature working properly. It is believed that whomever he calls, gets the same feature too but the opposite person needs to have Lollipop as well as the latest(2.11.508) apk too from the website of whatsapp. Other user reported that using terminator and root access, one can get the calling tab enabled but the issue is no one can see other contacts and my bet is that none of the contacts would have the latest apk as well as lollipop loaded up. So, I've got an idea through which we can enable the feature and help others get the feature too. Try to follow the given steps.
Whats Needed?
-Rooted Lollipop(Stock or Custom ROM would do)
-Latest apk from here
-Terminal from Playstore
-PM me to get my contact number and add me to your contacts(To test out the feature)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps to follow(Make sure you follow them in order and correctly):
1) Make a Backup of your current chats if you want your chats to be maintained.
2)Uninstall your current version of Whatsapp (Necessary Step, do not try to update through intsalling the latest apk over current version)
3)Install the latest apk you downloaded.
4)Verify your number, restore your chats if you want and start whatsapp.
5)Close Whatsapp and remove it from recents too.
6)Start Terminal and type the following commands without double quotes:
"su" - At this point, it would ask for root permission. Allow it.
"am start -n com.whatsapp/com.whatsapp.HomeActivity" - This would start Whatsapp with 3 tabs namely Calls, Chats and Contacts.
7)Head on to contacts tab and message me from there. I would also add you to my contacts and see if I could call you or not and if it works, we all would get the feature permanently! :highfive:
[UPDATE 2]It has been confirmed that this method does not work for now but at least keep your contacts list updated with someone having lollipop and following the same procedure so that you may come to know when you are also eligible to test out the feature.
Credit goes to pradnesh07 and Tropiux from Reddit.
Unfortunately all this does is show you the tabs. No contacts will show up as you haven't got the feature enabled still. Someone with it needs to call you I believe
I enabled it but no contacts are showing up to call...how to call anyone ?

You have not read the instructions and stuff need properly. Have you?
You need lollipop update first. Then you need someone in your contacts who has enabled these tabs with terminal.
I'm already running lollipop... Did u have enabled the call feature ?
