I'm using viber with unrooted 5.0. It works in a way as i tried making calls but the cancel button doesn't seem to work so i let the other party put it down. Volume is weak too when using speakers

I have it on my nexus s so i just extracted the apk file then transferred it and install. The version i have is 2.1.2.116554. A weird thing though as the first time I installed this I did get FC and doesn't work. After a few weeks, I installed again and it does work but with the limitations I posted above.

not sure about viber but I am running Google voice and grooveIP on my 5.0 and can make free calls over Wi-Fi with no sound issues.

I have another app on my player that works like viber minus the sms though. It's called Tango. Nice video calling app
