Hi,

This is a member of the Viber R&D Team!

@shto - Changing Viber's notification sound is not available at this point. :/
However, we'd be happy if you add your idea via: http://bit.ly/H2xu54 Thanks! :)

You can stop Viber sounds form your regular device settings - Viber mirrors the device setting. :)

Please feel free to let us know your thoughts, questions and comments, we'd be happy to assist.
Thanks,
the Viber Team

Unfortunately we (as a company) cannot direct users to the exact files of the sounds (they are embedded within the app file).

As we said, we plan to add the option of customizing Viber's sounds in future versions.

We apologize for the temporary inconvenience.

@htcmodteam -

We are aware of this request, and it is certainly high on our check list of development for future versions.
Once we have news about this feature, we'll make sure to inform you.

Hi,

We have since added an option in Viber to use the phone's ringtone+vibration settings, and we can see our users find this feature very useful.
We will consider adding an option to completely customize Viber's sounds and vibration in the future.

It's really annoying to have viber sound for every chat message. All other messaging apps have disable notifications. Appreciate if you can disable sounds.

This is a known request, and we are considering to add such a feature in future versions of ours.

Meanwhile, we invite you to enter our Feature Request page and post your suggestion there, or join an existing similar suggestion. Unfortunately it is not possible for us to integrate every suggested feature into Viber, but the more people join on a request, the faster it will become reality :)

Are you using the latest version, Viber 4.0 ?
agree as well. I dont mind if i cant change the sound of notifications but it really bothers me that i cant turn it off . Its quite annoying especially of you are in a chat widow with many participants
and not just 'beep beep' when a msg comes in, it also 'beep beep' when I sent out a msg...

Beside that, more bugs:
-------------------------------
- after I quit Viber by options->exit, when a msg came in, it still beeped and gave notification. If I quit Viber, it means I don't want to receive/send anything and therefore I don't want 'beeps' and notifications. Please stop everything when I choose 'exit'.

About the notification sounds:

Unfortunately, this feature is not available yet. We will consider adding it in future versions.

@testrider -

This is the expected behavior from Viber at the moment. We see Viber as a "substitute" for your mobile service, meaning even if it's closed (using no RAM or bandwidth), it still remains available thanks to the C2DM service.

Viber's "exit" capability is relatively unique in the messaging space. Our statistics indicate that the vast majority of Viber users (well over 95%) never use this feature. In discussions with users about this feature we learned two things:

1. Those who wanted exit were typically "power users"
2. Overwhelmingly, the reason they wanted "exit" was not to become inaccessible but rather to make sure Viber does not consume any resources. Still, they expected Viber to be accessible even if they exit the app (via C2DM).

We believe the number of users that want to an exit feature that will turn off Viber completely represents an extremely small number of users - maybe 1 in 10,000 overall. As such, we do not believe adding an "exit and turn off notifications" feature is needed. It would merely serve to unnecessarily complicate the application. We are sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for, but we need to make sure that adding features that would make some happy would not hurt other users.

if you use old version of viber app, to stop it to check/prompt for updates, add this to hosts file

Code:
127.0.0.1 www.cdn.viber.com
127.0.0.1 cdn.viber.com
