Viber

[mossief1965]

Quick question I have the wifi only version, when I install viber and activate it using my phone number it deactivates it on my phone. With my old tablet it was active on both my phone and tablet. It looks like viber is seeing my mediapad as a phone rather than a tablet. Any way around this?

EDIT: Solved by changing dpi using adb

Can you please tell how exactly you solved the problem, what did you do?

I did so because viber wasn't seeing my tablet as a tablet but as a phone. When I activated viber on there it would deactivate on my phone when it should have been active on both. Chrome was also seeing the tablet as a phone and using it's phone interface rather than tablet interface.

To solve this I connected the tablet to my PC and ran the following command "adb shell wm density 325" which sets the dpi of the tablet screen to 325 which Viber and Chrome recognise as a tablet. The problem is this has to be done on each reboot or chrome will revert to phone interface. Viber only needs this done once.

Thank you, it worked!
