Remove Viber for a day or two and see if your issues go away. Mute the phone and un-mute the phone - In my own experiences when I had issue with some notification sounds doing this cleared it upģ. Some may seem obvious so if you have tried it just skip to the next suggestion.Ģ. I can give you some advice on steps you can try to get things cleared up. This site is neither the developers of Viber or Apple so we can't fix it. I realize this could be just as much Apple's fault as it is the developers of Viber, given that iOS 7 sucks for iPhone 5 users in general, but you guys really need to fix this!

This is beyond unacceptable! I could live without Viber if needed (though it at least partially worked in the past which was nice), but the fact that it completely f***s with many other major things I need to use the phone for has really made me angry.

The WORST part is it completely messes with the audio on the phone in general, where it causes the apple clock app to not play alarm notifications (I can see the alarm is supposed to be going off from the lock screen or via a pop up message, it just doesn't actually play the alarm sound) and it even seems to take over audio from podcast/music apps so that I have to manually open them and toggle 'play/pause' to get them to play again when viber is running. Not only does it drain my battery like crazy when open in the background, even beyond the existing issues with iPhone5 & iOS7 that everyone has whether they use Viber or not (which is funny because Viber's the only app I have that explicitly says it WON'T do that), but it doesn't play sounds for incoming calls and texts the vast majority of the time even when it's running in the background. Since upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 (and then to iOS 7.0.2), Viber has been killing me.
