CHeers, finally Viber on Android

Hi All,
I'd like to announce that Viber has finally came out to Android, it is still a Beta version
I tried it and it works just fine on my Xperia X10 using CM6.1.3 v006 Wolfbreak rom.
Thanks,
Ayman

Are you sure ? I just tried and I should become a beta tester to use it, try it

Yes I'm pretty sure of it, only register on their website to download the apk.
for testing viber you need to do nothing, as when it crashes it asks you to report issue and send the logs with single button click
Thanks,
Ayman

You downloaded via phone or from pc ?

I already registered but still no apk of the viber app.

Kinda like Skype..

http://viber.com/download for the apk.
But you need an invite via email.

Hi all,
This is a member of the Viber development team.
This is the process you need to go through in order to complete your Beta installation:
* Register for the beta (if you haven't done so already) - viber.com/android.
* Wait for an invite email (could be a few weeks, due to the long waiting list)
* Register your email/phone online
* Get the Viber Android app and install
* Activate with the number you registered.
If you get the APK without following this procedure, you will NOT be able to activate.
For other questions I'm here
Thanks,
Viber.

Will the viber app use the contact list as with the iPhone?

Yep,
Contact list on Viber is duplicated from your Android's list, and when new contacts of yours install Viber, you get notified of that (just like iPhone).

Done! Cant wait to use this hate skype so much

When somebody ask me "What is Viber?" I always answer that his the Whatsapp for speaking : )
If everybody, and it could be AWESOME, have Viber + Whatsapp and a big data we can speak and send messages for free !
PS: I have a question for you, Viber team, i have only 500 mb for a months (welcome to switzerland ), i must use Viber on the Wifi no? Have you any idea of how a call for 5 minutes use data?

i would like to know how much data it will use per 1 minute!!

Viber uses about 0.5MB per minute of call - so you should have 1000 minutes with your 500MB plan (although most cellular providers in most countries offer much larger plans than that).
By the way, Viber also offers Text Messaging, not only calls

when I can use Viber ?
I logged in and I downloaded the program, but after entering my number does not enter the program.
thank's

How to see when sms is seen

Is there some app for android devices where I can see when time person which got my standard sms opened that sms ?
Just like on facebook chat there is exact time when other person sow my messages in chat

Depending on carrier and ROM, you can specify in the SMS settings the delivery of a receipt after the SMS has been opened.

This isn't possible for the messages...
Its possible.in many IM messengers.
They give many features....

I supposed that it is impossible :silly:

I only know that is some sms apps you can see that the sms is arrived on the others phone, but i don' t think it is possible to see if he/she readed the message

The SMS protocol has no way to report when messages have been read, but it does have ways to report when it's sent and received. Unfortunately, the standard makes these optional, not required.
The Android framework supports receipts when SMS messages are sent and received. The SmsMananager lets a program specify independent callbacks for sentIntent "when the message is successfully sent, or failed" and deliveryIntent "when the message is delivered to the recipient". See: developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SmsManager.html
But you can't rely on that working in an Android app. The problem is that
The actual SMS transfer code is written by the device manufacturer
SMS message transfer is controlled by the carrier
So, for a delivery receipt to work, it has to be implemented, and implemented consistently, by
The manufacturer of your phone
Your carrier
Your friend's carrier
The manufacturer of your friend's phone
The bottom line is that you're not even guaranteed that a given SMS is going to be delivered, let alone when. If you want receipts you need to use a different app, such as facebook chat.

SMS sent via Google Voice are not logged to any SMS app

Aussie user on --> MHA-L29C636B158 here and I've currently got a case going with Huawei for an issue where SMS's sent via Google Voice are not logged to any SMS app. They send successfully but there's no trace of them in Huawei Messaging app or any SMS app.
Have confirmation from another Aus user on same firmware that they have the issue. Wondering if it's a problem on other variants? Can't seem to find the issue mentioned in any posts here on XDA.
Cheers all

To send SMS with GV u either have to use the Google voice app or hangouts. Which one are u using? What do u mean logged? U mean once u hit send it sends but doesn't show in the app?

Yep, the latter. Using Google voice and then voice command "sms contact_name".
Once you've told Google Voice to send the SMS it has indeed been sent successfully but that particular message doesn't exist in any SMS messaging app. Go to Huawei Messaging or any other SMS app such as Android Messages you have installed and the GV sent SMS doesn't exist...

i thought i was the only one
drove me nuts so i uninstalled google now. lol

Thanks virtyx. Did uninstall/re-install fix the issue? What firmware r u on? I send and receive sms's from the car a fair bit with Google voice so it's a bit annoying to have no record of sent sms's done with GV. Apart from this am loving the phone Cheers

I'm on stock c636b172
I didn't reinstall don't really need it.
I just use the voice icon in my messaging app to send it, works that way.

Yep righto. Guess I shouldn't be too excited about B172 possibly fixing the issue then! (which I'm hoping to get OTA soon).
If anyone else can comment on if they've seen this issue (or do a quick sms via GV for me to test it) it'd help me hugely with my case with Huawei which is currently moving at a snails pace... Twice already I thought I'd gotten through level 1 but it seems that's where it's still at...
Cheers

Blacklisting Info Messages not working BLN L22C675B320

Guys please let me know if you are facing the same issue in the stock messaging app for emui 5. It's very glitchy to blacklist info messages. Sometimes it works sometimes not. You can't even check from harassment filter to add info messages sender directly.
I guess update is required by Huawei ..
btw, can anyone suggest an alternate sms app which has filter options to turn off notifications and also has mark all as read option.

Ok I tried textra.. I was happy then suddenly my sms stopped working in ultra power saving mode.. Where it default the sms to stock messaging app again.. Again I had to default to textra..

you can use truecaller.
stock messaging app dont have this feature for info message received from AB-XYZ address. if it contains anything as alphanumeric or even AB-12345 then it will work.

How about GoSMS?

Truecaller has problems ... Full of ads .. pro version is costly ..and it identifies spam messages itself.. like sms from ola cabs automatically goes to spam box with silent notification..

I uninstalled the stock sms app (using adb without root) but then the ultra power mode again creating problem .. it is making truecaller as default sms app ..don't know why ..truecaller is imp service in India to search unknown number ..but I don't want to use this as sms app .. this is frustrating ..such a simple functionality messed by emui .. and no call to customer care helped ..

Only alphanumeric number can be blocked as of now. No option to block all alphabetical address on stock

Well other apps can do .. google's stock , textra, truecaller's ..
But when you will use ultra power it again set the stock as default..this is irritating even more ..

Question Notifications and Incoming calls

I have noticed that I always receive all notifications late unless I open the app itself to check some updates. Is there any tweak in settings to fix this? Also about incoming calls, I can only receive phone calls but through application calls like messenger, discord, and telegram I don't receive any. Somehow, on telegram, I can receive it when I only open the application. Hoping there is an answer to this. Thank you!

I actually tried doing all that but still it persists. Is this also because of MIUI version? I'm currently at the latest one, 14.

There is also this weird bug, in Messenger, I can receive calls from someone specific but on others nothing really.
