[Q] WhatsApp Integration (Idea)

Hi,
I was wondering, if it would be possible to integrate the Whatsapp messages for a contact in the sms history. So that you don't have to look up twice all the messages because you have them all at one place.
Furthermore, it would be great if i am writing a contact a sms who i also got in WhatsApp that then the message would automaticly send via WhatsApp. I mean something like that my phone checks wheter the contact is in WhatsApp and if yes sens over it and not a normal sms.
These two things would be fantastic because I never have to open up the WhatsApp App because everything is integrated and works automaticly.
Could this be done?

Do tell us if someone is succesful...

Any new posts about this? I just switched to Android from Blackberry and I find it a huge pain. Also I wish there was a number next to the notification icon on the top.For example is you have 3 messages it will have 3 and then the icon. I will look around for a fix for that on my phone.

[Q] Viber mixes up all names

After recovering viber + data with titanium backup every time I have updated my rom, it suddenly started to mix up the names in all the conversations a couple of months ago.
My fathers name is on me and my sisters conversation and my father is named some random name from my contact list that does not have viber, but still it shows an image of him.
Everytime I recover viber the names are different. I wonder what my dad is going to be named now?
This has been driving me crazy as I have sent a message to wrong person thinking I sent it to the right several times.
What to do? I don't want to remove viber completely with all it´s data because I have conversations that I want to keep.

Anyone?

This happens because Viber keeps Android contact IDs in its database and the contact IDs change when you update your ROM, wipe your contacts and then set up your contacts again (e.g. by syncing to Google)
If you know SQL then you can fix the data by hand - I had the same problem.
Install sqlite3 on your computer (it comes with Mac OS X), then pull the Viber databases in /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases and the Android contacts databases in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases onto your computer.
Look in the contacts table in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db to find the new IDs of the contacts who you use Viber to send messages to. Then look in the participants table in /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages to find out the OLD contact IDs that viber is using. Then update viber_messages and participants, for example I needed to change old contact ID 1364 to new contact ID 683 and old contact ID 1440 to new contact ID 1666 and I used these statements:
Code:
update messages set person = 683 where person = 1364;
update messages set person = 1666 where person = 1440;
update participants set contact_name = display_name, contact_id = 683 where contact_id = 1364;
update participants set contact_name = display_name, contact_id = 1666 where contact_id = 1440;
When you're done push the Viber messages database back to your phone. Use these commands (change 10065 to the user ID for Viber on your phone):
Code:
adb shell 'rm /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages*'
adb push viber_messages /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/
adb shell chmod 660 /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages*
adb shell chown 10065 /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages*
adb shell chgrp 10065 /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages*

Viber is crap program
caused me many problems in the past. some contacts names doesnt show up!!

Hi everyone,
This is an official member of the Viber R&D Team. I'm here to provide direct support.
About the Titanium backup issue - please note that Titanium is a third-party application that does not officially link to Viber, and so we (Viber) naturally cannot guarantee that it will smoothly work with Viber's features.
You might want to contact Titanium developers for more information and assistance
@The Prince1 -
The source of this issue could greatly vary. Please read this short page in our HelpDesk, outlining some possible workarounds that will help reboot synchronization of the contact list: http://bit.ly/rRtPqk
(The instructions refer to iPhone, but are relevant to all phones nevertheless).

Thanks for your answer! I really appreciate that Viber team are answering questions out on the forums cause this is not the first time I see you around. I can really notice a presence of you guys.
I will continue using Viber despite my problems(that I do not blame you for, after all Titanium backup is a third-party application) with it.
On topic: I will look further into this, probably using SQL.

It's our pleasure to help!
If you have any more questions/suggestions for us in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me again

All what TB does is to backup the data folder "as it is", it has nothing to do with Viber or know how viber works, and nobody should contact TB team because the restore of Viber app doesn't work, mainly because the issue here is Viber itself. also because from the 100's of apps I backup with TB, only Viber suffer from this issue.
what frankoid described is the real issue, so the solution should be that Viber finds a different way of connecting its contacts with the Android Contacts.
anyway, thanks for the response.

@mcbyte_it -
You are right - technologically, it is not an impossible task to implement the options you mentioned into our app. However, please bear in mind that you are not the only user who requests features from us among our millions of users worldwide.
Aside from that, we also have other projects running in our company, like Viber on whole new platforms, for example.
All of the above doesn't mean we neglect our users' requests. We invite you to enter our Feature Request page and post your suggestion there, or join an existing similar suggestion. The more people join on a request, the faster it will become reality
You can find it here: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php/Knowledgebase/Article/View/43/9/have-an-idea-for-a-new-feature

I may have solved this problem..
I backed up my contacts using titanium backup.. But all of my contacts are synced in Google. Then, I restored it in titanium backup, contacts are not appearing.. Login to Google contacts synced then when I accessed Viber. Names are not mixed up!!
Anyway, Viber should have put an export and import function. I hope this will be implemented on the future

I have found an easier way of doing this than going thru this finding and updating.
I had the same issue, I deleted the vibers copy of contacts stored in this db /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_data
Once this is deleted, inside viber > contacts, all contacts are gone, now press menu and select update contacts.
All contacts are back and mapped correctly to conversations.

Great. This is handy, only thing that I hate is I need to root my phone just to restore my viber messages
Sent from my LT29i using Tapatalk 2

Well this buy happens only for root users and so the solution requiring root would be normal.
I mean titanium backup and restore of data directly, is possible only for root users, so this bug arises and you can fix this easily by deleting that DB and refreshing contacts

I don't know why but it doesn't work for me. I'm able to see only one contact and no names in messages that I restored from viber_messages.

Just clear app data, set up your number on viber again,and all contacts should show up with their actual name.

First of thanks (again!)
I can confirm this still works, worked for me anyways!
Only difference is before I got to press 'update contatcs'.... Viber updated them automatically on launch and problem solved
My problem was wrong contacts for existing messages, I do as many others use TB to backup app+data.
Cheers!

There is a-lot easier way to fix this problem.
Open People app (the phone's contact manager) and edit broken contact:
1- Delete end number of mobile number and save the contact.
2- Open Viber then hit back.
3- Again edit broken contact and add deleted number at end of mobile number.
4- Open Viber you'll see broken contact-thread is fixed
This will work for non-root users too.

Thanks, this worked perfectly for me :good:

Sorry for digging up and old thread but I can confirm that this is still and issue with the current versions of Viber on at least 3 separate phones that I've used.
I just fixed some rogue contact lists the other night - for some reason using Viber it merges different contacts together.

[Q]Viber not showing old messages!

I am using a GNote and my girlfriend a nexus and we both have the same problem. after a while it says no more messages to show and we have messages over a month.is there a limit of how many messages viber stores or is just something with our phones? please help

Hi there,
This is Viber's official rep.
I'm here to help.
Have you uninstalled/deactivated Viber lately?

Yes and I had an official reply it auto deletes the messages after a long conversation or after 14 days..

Unfortunately, Viber's chat history is automatically deleted when reinstalling/deactivating Viber. This is why we recommend our users to use Viber's backup option and export their chat history onto email, in order to have a backup of it frequently.
We apologize for any inconvenience that might have been caused.

Hi Viber,
I'm having a similar issue, me and my girlfriend can only view about 6 pages of old messages (I cannot scroll down more than 6 pages) though we have more messages than those 6 pages. My girlfriend reinstalled Viber once but as I remember, it was far before than the date showing on the oldest message (on the page 6th). Is this a limitation of Viber of maybe we have problems with our phones? Or wrong setting I dont know? We are both using Viber v2.3.2 on Sony Xperia S, android 4.0.4. Please help
Or is there anyway to auto backup our messages?
Thank you for your support.

Internet permissions are required for Google Analytics only, but we will probably remove this in next version (I understand that some people may be concerned that an application that works with contacts requires an Internet connection). We don't send any private data from your device to our servers or 3rd party servers.
Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Looking into this further, apparently the carrier won't allow final digit included in the string, it gets ignored, and, needs to be entered 'interactively', so, my 'automated' used might need some interaction...
