Viber for Android BETA

[Viber]

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to announce that our Beta version of Viber-for-Android is FINALLY public, and now appears in Market for all to download!
The version itself is slightly more updated than the previous one (mostly bug fixes), so we highly recommend everyone to download and install it.

Important: those of you who were testing our Beta (after getting the invitations) will have to uninstall Viber, and only then install the Market version. Thank you!

As usual, I'll be here for your questions, suggestions, bug reports or anything else really

Thanks,
Viber.

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to announce that according to preliminary results, it seems as though we managed to find and fix the collision problem of Viber with CM7 and MIUI ROMs (and possible the rest as well)
Both these ROMs "change" the device's identity (virtually, of course), preventing Viber from adapting itself correctly to the device's microphone configuration. This is why most of you with ROMs experienced the one-side audio issue.

Anyway - we are working on adding a fix to the new version that will hopefully be officially released next week to Market.

Updates soon,
Viber.

Hi all,
Viber 2.0.2 has just been released to Market!

What's new?
- Viber is back on Market for HTC Wildfire and HTC Hero users. However, note that due to immanent compatibility problems, Viber might not work 100% smoothly. We're working hard to improve these problems.
- After hard work, as promised, Viber now supports *some* of the famous custom Android ROMs, such as CM7 and MIUI. We need your feedback in order to make sure the major problems with these ROMs are now resolved.

Please make sure you download the latest version.
As usual - for questions/technical issues feel free to contact me.

Regards,
Viber.

Yep, without a problem.
Viber should work just fine between any 2 Viber users, no matter where they are in the world (as long as both are connected to the internet).

By any chance, "video chatting/calling" option to be add on?

 

[Viber]

Yes, videocalling is planned and will be available in the future, but we still don't know when.

What about MMS?

MMS (pictures, sounds and video bits) is in the works right now.
We plan to add this feature in the upcoming Viber 2.1, probably a few months from now.

It might be sooner than that, but we want to be on the safe side, not promising anything in vain

Anyway, I'll keep you posted on updates as we add them bit by bit.
