[Q] Viber not working? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone confirm if they have got viber working on their nexus 5?
Mine just pops up a dialog box saying 'error' when trying to register the number and/or a communication error both over wireless and 3g.

I could register viber on N5 from UK. But it crashes when I received messages

Mine is working, can send and recieve messages but crash if i try to attach an image

Word of warning guys if any of you like myself installed the Android SDK and emulator to try and teach yourself programming then make sure Viber does not get installed if you login with your google account.
Basically this triggers their 'system' into thinking you are a spammer and they then block your number so you are unable to use Viber ever again on any device you own.
Viber support are next to useless and it looks like I will never be able to use Viber again despite doing absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever.

It's working as it should for me. Are you still getting an error?

They banned my number because they thought it was used for spamming and won't ever take it off so the error will never go away.

MMS not working

Hi I was hoping someone could help me. I don't text Pictures to people often so I am not sure how long this has been going on, but I cannot send a text with a picture in it I tried last night and it did not work. I checked and rechecked my APN 3 times, it's flawless. But it still won't work on either WIFI or LTE. I don't know what to do to even attempt to fix it. I am running DroidKang version V12 and whatever kernel it came with if that matters. And I am using Hangouts to attempt to send the MMS.
Which carrier are you using?

Usually when MMS doesn't go thru its a carrier issue. What does yours do? Just get stuck on sending?

No AIO isn't an actual MVNO it's a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T so it can only run their towers.

All I know is that the latest version of Hangouts fixed this issue for myself and a lot of other users. So, as simple as it may sound make sure you have the most recent version.
Try clearing the app cache and data then uninstall Hangouts then reinstall from the Play Store and start from scratch.
With the limited options I in Hangouts at the moment this seems about the only resolution.
Maybe a third party app like gosms will handle mms properly on the N5. It is what I used on previous devices before Hangouts but can't confirm if it works on the N5 as I haven't needed it.

Has anyone gotten Whatsapp working

I really dont understand how google has yet to fix this problem. There are fixes for dev editions but has anyone gotten it to work on 4.4.2 using ART? This is the only thing preventing me from switch to ART full time :<

Yes that's his point. He wants to run ART which is still experimental and not supported by Google yet, but still wants to complain that apps don't work using it. Pretty absurd if you ask me.

I'm on my high horse as you call it because It works fine for me so your ART is most likely the issue. Did you uninstall it after you switched to Dalvik then reinstall? Clear the app data and cache?
My point is the whining about something being Google's fault when the app works just fine if you don't switch to an unsupported engine. The OS nor the app are the issue. I use it daily.

1 first of all... Isnt googles fault cause whatsapp since 4.4 was released whatsapp told they don't gonna have support for art in that version untill 4.4.1 .... Why??? Don't know, complain with whatsapp. But maybe cause 4.4 gonna be a "trandition version" like HC 3.0 was a couple of years ago. How do i know that??? Cause im work with the moto team.
2 dude.... What Is the point to have a developer edition if youre still on 4.4 when outside are plenty of 4.4.2 Roms??? Boy, just update!

What's app was never installed so I can't reset the app. Also the reason why I'm blaming Google is because from what everyone is saying this issue can only be fixed by an update from Google since it has to do with the lib.

If you attempted to re-install WhatsApp in ART, your /data/data/ directory may have a latent com.whatsapp folder left behind from the failed install that will prevent you from installing WhatsApp again. Android does not have any UI exposed to resolve this issue. Currently the only known way to remove this file is to either delete the file (only possible if your phone is rooted), or to reset your device to factory defaults.

MMS on official LP

so looks like VZW has left out or over looked (not like they didnt take their time on this update) to include the required MmsService.apk
Without this some, if not a lot of third party SMS apps will not send MMS, Google's hangout and Google's messenger app for example.
By installing this, flash it, extract it, or just install the APK. (if you dont have root this is the only way) This WILL fix the issue

Believe me...I do too, however with the stock sms app if a group message come in, clicking the notification take you to the individual sms thread for the person that sent the text, not the group chat, which in of itself was enough to drive me crazy.

From my understanding LP on vzw took away the ability to edit the apns which I would imagine you had to change to get all the tmo stuff working.

Oddly enough I had to set up nothing on 4.4.4, it just worked once I have it on HSPA mode instead of LTE/CDMA
I'm stock and rooted while my wife's is stock. We both upgraded to Lollipop and was/is using Textra before the upgrade and continue to use it without an issue. I've sent and received MMS without hiccups.
Are we odd ones out or is there some bug that I'm not experiencing and could possibly find a fix on my phone to share with everyone?

Have you noticed when in a group message?

I just noticed when I was in a group message I could see when the others were typing and when they read my message? Does this only work when messaging others who have the note 5? That was the case but I can't find any options for this
I should mention that I did find settings for "chat" that would allow me to see the others typing and when they have read my message...but I had turned those off before noticing the typing message and had confirmed they were off after noticing.

It's a new implementation baked into Android devices on T-Mobile. The Note 5 and Edge Plus are 3rd and 4th ever to get it, I believe.

Basically, it's like iMessage for Android. If both phone users have the Advanced Messaging installed on their phones, they will be able to see when the other has read a text or is typing. It's going to be great to see when it is implemented on more devices.

To see the "is typing" while texting go to messages, more, settings, chat settings, turn on share typing indications also if you turn off read receipts than the other person won't see if you've read his messages or not but you can still see theirs if their settings are switched to on
You don't need to be in group text for this to work it seems to only be working with the newer phones, I just upgraded 3 phones 1 note and 2 edge plus' and we tested it out

Yes you will see when someone has read yours or if it's been delivered because they have their settings on, but they will not be able to see it on their end since your settings are checked to off
