Please can someone advise me when Viber will be available to work on ICS.. ? I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus but unfortunately Viber is not working on ICS ;( Any news when it will be updated? Many Thanks.
Viber's new ICS-compatible version will be released to Market soon (hopefully 2-3 weeks). We apologize for the temporary inconvenience
Hi guys, I just encountered a minor problem with Viber.
A few days ago my Viber became extremely slow when messaging to a certain contact with whom I already have a very, very long conversation history. It literally happened from one second to another because I noticed right away that something was off. It's so bad that I can't type at all while messages are received or sent.
I'm pretty sure that it must have to do with the long conversation history, because it only happens with this contact. Other contacts which have a much shorter conversation history work as smooth as usual.
I haven't tried to reinstall Viber yet, because I'm afraid that I will lose all my conversation histories.
Is this a known issue and is there a way to fix it without losing any data?

Just stumbled onto this thread and have a question....
I'm using prepaid service, thus limited on everything including data. Is there a setting to only use wifi and never use 3G? That would be helpful if not. The phones are our communication link between the wife and I and I am on wifi at work, she is on wifi at home. I wouldn't want 3G to be used if she was away from wifi and would want to use the standard text messaging with my prepaid plan. We hardly use cellular for phone calls and don't have a specific calling plan, but it would be nice while at work on wifi to use the phone when needed rather than hunting down a desk phone or paying per minute charges on the prepaid. I just don't want to do it on 3G data since we are limited there as well.
Also, being prepaid, the phones are lower quality and we are limited on internal memory. Can this be moved to the SD card, or forced to move on a rooted phone and work?
Thanks
Yes, understood. That wouldn't be my problem.I believe if you simply turn on your wifi connection, you'll have no problem. Also, the call quality is better via wifi anyway.
Yes, understood. That wouldn't be my problem.
If I am at work and my wife is at home, we are both on wifi. If I call/text my wife with Viber and she has left home to run to the store, I want to make sure that she would not pick it up on 3G while she is out and use up limited data. That is why I want to know if there is a setting to only use wifi.
@katushi -
think about how non-beneficial that is to us
An app that combines all VoIP and messaging services should be developed neutrally, by an external developer, not Viber.
Viber does not officially support Tablets, but it should still work with most of them.
If you have a WiFi only Tablet, then the call simply cannot be routed through your cell provider (because you don't have a SIM card). So you shouldn't worry
Download it and try it out.
Alright, I'll do it.@Kicksilver
Please reboot your phone, or even reinstall Viber, and see if the problem persists.
If it does, please report it to our support team, because it's not a known issue

Please note that when it comes to emoticons, Android is different from iPhones in that it has a built-in emoticons system. This is what most users do when they want to send emoticons. There are also some 3rd-party emoticon apps for Android, but these cannot be viewed/sent inside Viber text messages since the apps themselves don't support Viber's messaging textbox.
The only possible solution for emoticons inside Viber is for us to develop a built-in emoticon feature inside Viber, and that is something we are considering doing, but we still don't know when that will happen. Meanwhile, the more users request it, the greater the chances that it becomes reality. Here is the link to our feature request form in our HelpDesk: Have an idea for a new feature? | Viber Support
