I have a custom ROM CM. Under process stat, viber is listed second in background process with 33mb ram usage(max) in last 3hrs, I used viber viber about 12 hrs ago.

Another issue is while I use viber the voice breaks, perhaps the service providers blocking using certain app their end. Is there a workaround

Hi @archie –

Have you tried our latest update from AppStore?
Does the problem persist?

Also, have you made sure that Viber is the certain cause for the battery consumption? Please try to close all other apps running in the background.

In reply to Mark Chinchen. Same thing here. Nexus One. Android 2.3. Battery life is reduced on a half running Viber in background. And it doesnt appear in battery usage log. Kind of cheating, as of me.

Hi Installed Viber two weeks back on Sony Xperia Ray battery life dropped from 3-4 days to 21/2 days even though there are no indicators Viber is using battery it just sucks it up while phone is in standby, making calls using makes even worse
Tried disabling it but comes back to life by itself and drains battery
Uninstalled it , needed it for travel but it makes the phone useless

Hallo again
I have no run my Galaxy S3 for 33 hours without recharging after removing Viber från my phone and the battery shows that I still have 47 % left of battery capacity.

This tells me that I can not use Viber because i have to recharge so often.
