FaceTime Fail?

You may be one of the many who were just fascinated by the FaceTime (Apple’s “video conferencing” or “video call” feature in the iPhone 4) ads, showing smiling grandfather’s watching babies, college students talking to Mom, etc.

You may also be one of those frustrated iPhone4 users who couldn’t actually get FaceTime to work.  At all.

Turns out the fix is pretty simple.  It’s a variation of the old, “Please shut down and restart” solution which solves so many issues:

1 – Tap Settings,

2 – Select “Phone” and Tap FaceTime to OFF

3 – Go back to Settings home and Tap Flight Mode ON

4 – Hold your iPhone’s power button down until you get the power off slider bar.

5 – Shut down your iPhone.  Then start it up.

6 – Turn Flight Mode OFF

7 – Turn FaceTime ON

Make a call, and experience the hotness.

We have to say that it is an amazing experience to have a call with someone, especially a friend you haven’t seen in a while, in this way.

Your arm sure does get sore, though…
