Viber hijacking mic on LG P920

Hi guys I've got a problem that I can't seem to find a solution for I guess it has something to do with the specifics of my phone.
I've got an LG P920 3D Optimus running Android version 2.3.5 with a Kernel of 2.6.35.7 (BN GRJ90).
Everything was working fine but then I updated Viber to a newer version and it still worked ok right until the first time I ran Viber after that whenever I made a regular call I could hear everything but people on the other end couldn't hear me. It didn't help to switch off the phone or kill Viber in the application manager. The only thing that helped was uninstalling Viber and it started working even without restarting the phone.
I'm guessing Viber is somehow hijacking the microphone. I've tried reinstalling Viber multiple times but I guess there hasn't been an update to fix the problem.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this because I now can't use Viber and it's inconvenient.
Thanks for the help and best regards.
Well there was an update for Viber recently and I installed it again. But the same problem happened. Viber worked fine and the first phone call I received via regular cell service worked great but the second regular call I received the microphone didn't work anymore.
Any ideas on how to get around this problem?
Best regards.
Hello,
I have the same problem. LG P920 (Optimus 3D). Android 2.2.2, Default ROM.
Installed Viber for the first time 4 days ago. Version of 3 December.
Skype and Viber works fine,
but in regular call listener can`t hear me on the other side,but I can hear him well.
And the same thing, that the first call in regular line also work great and people hear me.
And then somehow randomly 20th-30th regular call is also ok, but after that my microphone
is like broken.
I believe it`s not android or firmware issue.
Most problems I read about Viber on forums - is that microphone doesnt work in this software - Viber.
And I didn find any info about our problem.
I have no idea what is it, but if I find I`ll let know.
Did u connected to Viber support?
They replyed?
Good luck!
Viber support replied that my version of android (2.2.2) is not supported.
Must be 2.2.3.
And thats all.
So that would that mine should work fine since I have an Android than 2.2.3?
No I haven't contacted them. How did you do that?
Thanks for the input.
I completed this form:
http:%//%helpme.viber.com/%index.%php?/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/14
delete % symbols from this link upside because:
"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
lol
They replied very quick, just in 2 hours.
I dont think that problem in android version 2.2.2.
Maybe i will try to install old version of Viber (3.0).

I am having the same problem, very strange
Hi koji-lik,
The reason can be in lg sound drivers or something like that or viber will not support p920 at all.
Could you tell what version of Android u installed and what ROM?
Did you wrote to viber tech support?
Thank you!

Problem Solution of Viber mic hijacking
Hi All ,
i've got a same problem through a month ago and i finally got solution but first you should know the following facts :
1- When i faced this problem i sent my LG P920 to warranty office and after two weeks i received my mobile with new motherboard because they think its a motherboard problem so they replace my old one with new one but it's appear that it's not the solution because after one day when i setup viber on my mobile after first call the problem back to surface again and the viber hijacking mic again so its not a hardware problem
2- When you do factory reset or new software for mobile that's appear problem still there so it's not a mobile software problem
3- There is no official ICS for mobile till now so don't listen to people who's say that update to ICS because there is no official ICS for it and also it's not a solution and also ICS on lg p920 have slow responsive at all
and after some trails i find the solution and am try it and mobile and viber works fine with all performance and mic works correctly in both
the solution is :
1- uninstall the viber u have on your mobile from app manager
2- after uninstall viber pull out the battery for 5 sec. and put it again and power on mobile
3 - download this version of viber on your mobile and install it , here is the link of viber version
( http://www.4shared.com/android/VHN25e96/viber.htm )
4- open google play and from it's setting close auto update for ap
5- do not update viber to any new version if you get notification for update
Congratulations now your viber and mobile works fine without any problems or mic hijacking
Conclusion : the mic hijacking problem is a newer version of viber problem so you should use an older version of viber (link at step 3 )thats all so if you need the newer version of viber u have to wait till this problem may solve in the coming version
Waiting your reply after do it
Thanks to All

Thank you this did it. I will not update Viber since I don't need the exact newest version and it works. It's a solution.
Thank you again. :good:
My antivirus found that link suspicious.
But thank you anyway, i found and download viber 3.1.1.15 from secure place
and everything works fine now.
I dont think that viber will support p920 at all in future.
So, old viber version 3 is the only sollution i think.
Best regards.

Do not install the version of vibe as advised in the last post it is not what it is meant to be. It does not install but it causes more problems with your phone

[Q] [CM10+11]Whatsapp constantly crashing after viewing videos

Hey!
I was using the CM10 Codename Lungo rom until now and I just flashed the new CM11 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47409643&postcount=2) hoping to fix a problem with whatsapp I had for several weeks now. Every time I watch a video or sometimes even a photo, whatsapp crashes after viewing when its supposed to go back to the conversation. It's really annoying and I think it started when fb took over whatsapp...
CM11 works like a charm from what I can say already but the bug is still there.
A friend of mine is using CM11 on his device aswell, I guess it's a DesireHD or something and he has the same issue.
Did anyone encounter the same problem or possibly has a fix for this?
Thanks!

[Q] Camera cant connect on 5.1

Hi All,
I'm having same issue on 5.0.1 and on 5.1 as well.
I figured the update on 5.1 will fix this issue but it persists. I will restart and its ok for some time. After few hours when I try to take photos, it says "cant connect to camera". I did the cache clear trick doesnt help. I dont think its a hardware problem cause it works for some time rhen it shws the error. Is it possible to be a conflict with Viber app or something like this??? I'm just guessing but I really need your help as it very annoying. ALso the Music app sometimes doesnt play thefiles.
Tbh, I'm getting more and more dissapointed with every update.
Note that I'm on stock rom never rooted....
Thanks!

Try turning off the face unlock option
I believe its turned off. I've tried everything but doesnt solve the issue. Its very annoying, I can't use the camera most of the time
This haunted me also. No one helped. I needed the camera as my wife is 8000 miles away . A hard reset works. I switched to Lite ROM and it's never happened again. It's stock and small

Snapchat not working corectly

Hi, am I the only one having constant issues with snapchat on my Idol 3? App crashes randomly, app crashes when I try to apply filters..it's very hard to use.
Does anybody please have a solution?
same issue here
Software issue
Yeah, I have the same problem, I created a thread previously here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/help/snapchat-twitch-app-issues-t3144511 Seems like a software/firmware issue that Alcatel needs to address, as the phone does have performance issues with lagging, slowness, etc. Other phones that are lower in specs. can handle snapchat without issues, so this phone's hardware can handle it, but the software updates is what's killing this phone. I hope the 5.1 update fixes it. Someone replied in my thread above, saying that the filters in snapchat work fine with video, and that's true when I tested it. I like this phone, but the only issue is its performance!!! Time to send Alcatel more e-mails!
Also problem with Vodafone Smart Ultra (ZTE). Crashes when choosing filters.
Snapchat issues solved!

Honor 8 gyro or accelerometer bug?

Hi,
i've noticed a very boring bug, sometimes the screen rotation won't work untill i reboot the phone; after reboot it's all fine untill the bug appear again.
Had it in B360 and also now in B131 (i've done a rollback).
Hard reset/cache clean already done and nothing changed, any advice? It's a known bug?
I did not have this bug on Android 6 but since update to Android 7 I too have this. Like yourself a reboot corrects this bug for a time.
I have reported this to Huawei Honor via feedback and email.
Their reply was this is a feature of the OS..
Yeah for real my reply was not nice let's just say until I emailed a reply with the problems once again.. Just goes to show they don't read the full details laid out when reporting issues..
You should just send them an email with your problem via email from within the HiCare app (Service > Feedback>email)
Same issue here. I bought my Honor 8 last week, and now my accelerator is only working for few minutes after reboot. Firmware is B131. Is this an software or hardware issue?
I have the same problem (smartphone is 2 weeks old, FRD-L19, B360).
Sometimes it occurs daily. Sometimes not for some days.
This is really strange. I did a hard reset and for now it is working again.
But you can try this:
Delete cache of compass app (in system settings) and start app again. I assume that you have to re-calibrate the compass now. Do so and make sure that calibration is successful (i.e. turning the phone in every direction)
Does this fix your issue? I assume that somehow the accelerometer/gyro is also dependent from a correctly working magnetometer.
Edit: After some days I figured out that also a hard reset is not the solution. I updated on B380 now and have no issues so far. Let's see...
Edit nr. 2: issue also occured with B380. Seems to be a software issue deep in the system. Hopefully Honor will fix this issue in the future
Probably isn't just a software bug, Honor service replied me that it could be an hardware problem came out with Nougat Update, they told me that i could have sent them the device to let investigate the problem, but i made a refund and bought another phone.
Which phone did you buy?
I don't think that this is a hardware issue as I have had this problem with Android 6 as well. Nothing is working for me yet. Will wait for my 3rd device and this will definitively be my last one...

Same here. It's definitely some software-related issue. Factory-resetting the phone solves that issue until the next system update is installed. A reboot only helps for some hours (not even days for me). I guess there's something wrong with the calibration data and that exact part is restored to it's initial state when you do a factory reset.
Found out that I have the same issue
I just found out that my gyroscope isn't working properly, for instance while using Google Cardboard app or if I'm trying to watch YouTube in cardboard mode. The strange thing with this issue is that it works perfectly fine if I'm enjoying a 360° vr photo in chrome/opera
I don't really want to downgrade my phone to previous Android version since I don't want to lose all my data...
I have realized that if I have installed "Huawei Health" app, accelerometer seems to work without freezing.
Can someone try and confirm this?
