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:

delete % symbols from this link upside because:

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
Mahmoud

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

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!

Hey guys, Alcatel is released a new update 7SRA-UEA2 that has fixed the problems with Snapchat crashing while applying filters. A full list of changes can be found here: http://www.androidcentral.com/alcatel-pushes-update-55-inch-idol-3-performance-fixes-and-more

How can I get that update?

Xz3 - 52.1.A.0.672 RU version

Xperia XZ3 (H9493) - 52.1.A.0.672 - RU version
Notification seek bar bug - STILL!!! – If I’m playing media through chrome, soundcloud or another app, the notification seek bar does not work in most situations. This has been a bug since the initial Android 10 roll out and I’m still shocked that we’re still going through this.
Swipe up from the lock screen – I’ve noticed this since the update from Android 9 to 10. It used to be a quick flick of the thumb where I could go from the notifications on the lock screen to the security pattern. Now since the A10 update, I can’t do that anymore. It is a longer swipe, more exaggerated swipe to get to the security options. It was easier with 1 hand before and it needs to go back to whatever it was in Android 9
Camera – Still gives error unknown error. It’s MUCH EASIER to fix than the first and second android 10 releases but it still shouldn’t be like this. It’s at the point where I don’t know if it’s an actual software or hardware problem. And with everything that’s going on, I probably won’t be able to confirm for the next 6 months. I'll probably end up wasting$200 fixing the hardware, that was really a software issue all along.
Fingerprint – Good, I believe either at or close to Android 9 speed
Battery – Good
Networking issues – I believe better than the last update. It seems good so far so
No idea why the software version has to be in the notification quick settings. That doesn’t need to be there. It’s out of place/doesn't add value by being there
I am so frustrated by Sony. They’re taking steps to fix this but damn you should have been on the ball. I do a clean install each update because I don't trust Sony to do this correctly.
This phone is like the Renault Formula 1 team. It's a great product and each update is a step further but holy **** you all should have been a lot farther along by now. Now Mclaren (One Plus) is starting to pass you.
Edit: I forgot to add this earlier. I found a bug by random. In dark mode, About phone -> Emergency Information, the notification bar text is black. So you've got a dark screen with black text.

I still have not received an air update on my H9493. my software version is still 532.

It's possible it's a hardware problem. It happens to me too but it was worse with the initial A10 update. My understanding is if you squeeze beside the camera when turning the phone, it can solve the issue. This is because it's a possible loose ribbon.
The initial A10 release was terrible so flash up to .672 and it may fix the problem (if it's a software issue)

Hey I am also facing this problem on my xz3 dual. Failed to restart the camera is consistently occuring in the past few weeks but restarting the phone worked then. But now its been almost 2 days, camera app says unknown error, I tried everything mentioned above but still unable to resolve the issue. Kindly let me know if downgrading the firmware resolves the issue.
Thank you

Today I downgrade my Xz3 H9493 to android
9 but my camera didn't get back.So I decided
to check hardware.that is really sad.
Coz I have to take out all water proof
Seal from my back cover .After that I found
my Camera connector is loose.That's why
occurring unknowm error and after
2 or 3 days is good again.At last that is
not a software error at all.

I got error while enabling tethering
Anyone else?

I'm having signal issues. Dropping connection all the time. Latest firmware hurt this badly.
Same SIM on a Samsung A30S on android 9 works fine.

Hello guys. I need your help finding 52.1.A.0.618 for H9436

Android 10

deleted. need to check more things for now. Sorry

Android 10 issues
Ever since i updated my A7 to Android 10 i'm having issues with it. First thing noticed is that internet speed decreased. Second is that i'm unable to connect to wifi with hidden SSID. Furthermore apps - and the phone itself - seem to be working significantly slower comparing to previous Android version. There is NO illegal software on the phone and it is regularly updated to the latest app releases and everything worked just fine & fast until the Android 10 update was done.
As i'm reading, same thing happened to users of other manufacturers phones after Android 10 update (for example Huawei).
Anyone else is experiencing samelike issues?

yes, everything you describe. Same here.

Im back to 9...

Does anyone having problem cannot change camera resolution?

Problems with Notifications.

Hello everyone, I hope that all of you can answer the problem I'm experiencing. I happen to be using a Nokia 3.1 Plus mobile, I just updated my mobile to Android 10. After I successfully updated to Android 10 on my Nokia 3.1 Plus mobile, this problem arose. Notifications of all applications that I have installed cannot display it, like the Whatsapp application I cannot bring up a notification that there is an incoming message. Does this only happen to my cellphone, or does anyone experience problems like mine? I really need answers and help from you to solve this problem.
