IPhone :: Does FaceTime Require Phone Call To Use?
Aug 3, 2010I read somewhere that FaceTime can be used without calling the person first. Does that mean I can do FaceTime with a data only SIM (iPad data plan)?

View 8 RepliesI was wondering this the other day. Does Facetime require an active connection to the Internet to work? By this, I mean if you have two iPhone4 users on the same wifi network (not connected to the Internet), can they use facetime to v-chat?
I'm thinking if you're in a work environment where you can't attach wifi routers to the network, could I bring in an old wifi router and just plug in the power? Then anyone with an iPhone4 could connect to this network just for Facetime (and perhaps stuff like filesharing, printersharing, etc).
I'm running iOS 7.1.2 on my iPhone 4.
Recently I noticed this strange behaviour. It does not happen with all phone calls, but it already happened twice since yesterday, I receive a phone call and once I hang up I'm sent to the iPhone's main screen with the green warning bar informing me to click there to return to my Facetime call. If I click I'm sent to the Facetime app.
But notice that I did not make a Facetime call, I received a standard phone call.Â

I have my FaceTime set up on both devices, wifi on full bars, but it says FaceTime failed when I call. I also call from both devices at once and it makes no difference. I know the information is correct.

iPod touch, iOS 5.1
I am just wondering if I am using FaceTime with someone who has Sprint if it will show up on the online call lon through the Sprint website??

iPhone 4
This is on a Galaxy S5
I was looking through my settings and was trying to test out a feature, forget exact feature but it either involved hitting the home button 3 times or it was holding the home and volume down buttons at the same time (I am guessing it was some combination of these two that activated my issue). I can not remember the exact feature as I was fiddling through the entire Settings menu for awhile before this happened . Regardless of the feature, I somehow managed to put my phone into a mode where everything requires a double tap to select and it has made using the phone near impossible.
When I attempt to tap something, lets say the Google toolbar for example, I get a blue box that surrounds the selected item and I get a vibration (that didnt happen before) & nothing happens. Unless I do a rapid double tap the app/icon/whatever will just become highlighted. Once I do the double tap and manage to get Google Now open, it becomes impossible to input text, it seems the double tap sometimes will select a letter, but it takes multiple attempts to even get the letter to register and by the time it does i end up with 4 of the same letter.
Oddly if i just single tap a letter or tap on a blank area of my home screen, I get what feels like a quarter powered vibration. This issue extends to every input on the phone, and when I say that everything requires a double tap I do mean EVERYTHING - I had to type this message with my fiances phone because I could not even manage to type it out on my own phone. I can not even manage to bring down my notification pullbar from up top because it ALL requires a double tap!
How to get rid of this and revert back to normal? I would prefer if I did not have to perform a factory reset...
all my friends that are getting the iphone 4 wont be getting it for a few weeks. So I have no one to call, to test facetime.
View 23 Replies View RelatedI've notice what I'd consider a security issue. I have my phone set up to require a PIN after 20 minutes of non-use. This works fine EXCEPT for when I use the sleep mode (Power button-Sleep). If I let it sleep over-night then wake it up, it does NOT require the PIN number. So that means that if the phone were taken and I'd put it to sleep, then phone's vulnerable
View 7 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden today I try to make a facetime call with my i4 and call failed right away.
I try turning on/off facetime in settings but all I get is "Activation unsuccessful. Turn on facetime to try again."
I dont know what the prob is, I didnt install or change anything since a few days ago that facetime calls worked.
Im JB on 4.0.1 and also got Facebreak installed.
I been fighting with it for 3 hours now. Removed facebreak, reset network settings over 50 times, restarted, toggled airplane mode, facetime on/off and still nothing.
Anyone got any suggestions or what is causing this to happen and how to activate facetime without a restore.
I already had to do a restore and setup as new 3 times since I got it and its starting to get old.
I just had my first 3G Face Time call tonight. The creator of My3G rocks, it works great.The quality of the call was amazing as I had very good signal strength. It actually froze only once on a 10 minute call while my wifi froze 3 times on a 10 min call.

1) Friend calls you answer with a shot of a present in the toilet!
2) Friend calls you answer with your a$$ hanging out....hello I'd like to assk you a question.
3) Friend calls to see any number of genital configurations!
4) You call your girlfriend with an iPhone and hope to god she answers in the shower.
This should be a top 10 list on Letterman or something Richard Christy from Stern should take up....I hope this does not get zapped by a mod.

I can't seem to find anything on this. But apparently when my wife is on a voice call, spontaniously for no apparent reason the call will try to become a facetime call. In other words, she is talking to someone that does or does not have an iphone via voice, and the call gets interrupted as it tries to "dial" as a facetime call. I restored the software and it still does it. how to prevent it?

Whenever I attempt to facetime or call someone using the speakerphone the other party can't here me or can barely hear me. The same goes for when I try to create a video. But what's odd is the voice memo feature works to what seems normal and normal phone calls (without speakerphone) also sound fine. Even If I plug in my apple earbuds or third party earbuds the mic works too.
Solutions Attempted
- Reset and Restored by iPhone
- Checked sound settings
- Took off Apple Bumper, clearcoat peices are still on

Will the shipments require a signature? If so, cant you just call FedEx with your info and have them not require one? I know UPS allows that.

My iPhone 4's Facetime is not in the phone, not even in the settings where there's an option of activating it. When i go to the notification settings, there's an option of FaceTime notification settings but i cannot find it anywhere in the phone where i can activate it. I have never used FaceTime before so it's not activated.
