IPhone :: Have FaceTime Setup On Both Devices, Wifi On Full Bars, But It Says FaceTime Failed When Call?
May 5, 2012
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.
All 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 live in Downtown Los Angeles, so reception isn't a problem. I usually always get full bars. However, when talking on long phone calls 20+ minutes with full bars, my phone will just cut off and say call failed. Then I have no reception, then it just comes back.
Is this a iPhone issue or a ATT issue? I have an odd suspicion it's my phone because it occurs so frequently, but Ive had difficulty asking the apple bar to replace my phone just because of reception issues.
I have iPhone 5s and iPad mini. Each has its own Apple ID. But, when some one facetime me on one of them, both are ringing. Even one is in London, and one is in Austin. Â
How to fix to have iPad mini rings when facetime to it, or iPhone rings when facetime to iPhone, not both.Â
Info: iPad 2, iOS 7.0.1, It is ipad min, I can not find it i
I bought a Sprint iphone 4 from someone who had deactivated due to he couldnt afford the extra data package; therefore the ESN is bad and not free and clear. I have a 12yr old son with Down Syndrome who had played with his sisters ipod touch and I thought we might be able to get him to like this one instead. When I showed him the Angry Birds game, to our astonishment, he took to it immediately. It is the first time he's ever played, and completed any game, ever. Needles to say what I bought for parts(I have a cell phone repair business) has now become his phone. Usually in these cases I do a complete reset, but instead, I have deleted all the prior owners personal information and reset up the wifi and my email info.
The problem I'm having is getting Facetime to work on this used iphone 4. Another daughter is away at college, has an iphone 4 with AT&T, and we would love for our son to be able to talk to the sister he misses so much. I have set up an account in Apple, followed all the instructions, and it never gets past the "Verifying"message then "Activation unsuccessful. Turn on Facetime to try again." We are utilizing Wifi and have a good strong connection, because I can surf the net and get into my AOL account.
I activated my iphone 4 to tmobile from att. Receiving/making call and text works well. But iMessage and Facetime is not working with my phone number, it just sending with my email address!I tried to change the receiving address to phone number but on my phone (setting-message-iMessage section), phone number bar is showing as verifying; same as on Facetime. Also its gray out and not possible to tab though. And finally verifying status changes to error... Even though my phone number seems as correct format with +1-XXX-XXX-XXXX. I have ios5.1 with 4.12.01?
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.
facetime call is not connecting to my friend. it got connected 2 days before but not now. spring message came when facetime got connected. i dont knw what is that message and didnt read that message too.
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?
Why can't you use facetime without wi-fi on the iPhone 4s
I bought the iPhone 4s to use FaceTime to talk with my kids on there iPad when I'm outside away from home and when I went to facetime my son from my iPhone 4s to his iPad it said no facetime without wi-fi... Now I have the iPhone 4s with 4G and I can't FaceTime anyone while I'm on the road. I'm very disappointed with apple and now I'm thinking of getting a new phone service with someone other then apple...
How can I make a FaceTime call from one country to another( supporsing both parties using iphone 4s). What will be the caller charges. If there is no charges as we use wifi, will there be a charge till connecting the call?
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
