IPhone 4 to iPhone 4S FaceTime freezes iOS 5.0.1

I've got a iPhone 4 with 5.0.1 and one of my friend has a iPhone 4S 5.0.1 when we facetime after a couple of minutes the picture just freezes?
When I facetime with my other friend with an iPhone 4 4.3.3 its perfectly normal?
HELP
Thanks

searching to no service to service to searching to no service to service...
todays date (in case you missed it) ... 12-22-2011
I did NOTHING to change my iPhone4. I was literally at work from 12:00 noon to 9:00pm.
All of a sudden, at 5:00pm, my iPhone4 decides it needs to constantly goto "searching" then to "no service" then back to "searching" then to "AT&T [5 Bars] 3G", then back to "searching" to "No Service" to ... you get the idea...
It continued with no end in sight.
Once home, after 4 hours of having a useless iPhone4 for 4 useless hours, I (to my wife's dismay) went to my home office to research if anyone else had a problem with this. Mind you, I had latest Apple iOS 5.0.1...
FFWD 3 hours later.
I found the post before my current post. (by Shaun00013) It lead me to hope (not believe) that if I used iTunes to do a backup of my iPhone4, then "Restore to factory defaults", then Restore iPhone from backup that my problem would be solved...
... (yes, I know i use too many "..." so don't mention it!)
Now that I've done the backup / restore factory defaults / restore from backup: problem solved.
... [ :-) ] It's been 30 minutes with no repeat of my original issue! YAAY!
This whole experience reminds me of a corrupted windows installation. I didn't realize Apple iOS had the same issue...
I don't know if someone sent me an email with an iPhone virus ( is that even possible?!) Or if my iOS just shat itself... but I know this post lead me to fixing my issue.
Hope this post of mine helps you too. If it does, sign in with your AppleID and tell us about it. Then, the next poor helpless iPhone owner experiencing this issue will find this post faster through Google.
Gnite! Hopefully I won't be back to this site anytime soon...
... :-D

Iphone 4 facetime freezes all the time

I have the white Iphone 4 from verizon and ever since i got it the facetime has been freezing every call i make. Have any advice?

If you have restored it as new via iTunes, the issue is the phone. You need to take it in for service.

IPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update

iPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update. Have to do a hard reboot. I am Extremely disappointed and lost ALL trust in Apples Quality Assurance. From now on I'll wait a week before I update.

Hey there Shortos,
It sounds like your phone touchscreen is not consistently working for you after updating to iOS 8. I can see how that would be pretty frustrating. It sounds to me like this could be a software issue or an issue with the screen itself. I would start with the troubleshooting in the following article to help troubleshoot the screen itself:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If that does not resolve the issue, I would next quit all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

I have a problem with my iphone 4 Facetime, that since the new ios 7 system has been installed, I cannot use the FACETime? I don't know where to turn? I have contacted a retailer here in Isreal, and I've contacted the Cell come company and I've contacted the repair shop... each one pushes me off on someone else.
I cannot make any FACETIME calls.... anywhere................ help

Hmm, I see from the Apple Support webpage it seems you cannot call them directly from Israel, that's not good.
Okay, so FaceTime stopped working once you upgraded to iOS 7 is that the situation? It doesn't work over either cellular or WiFi networks? I assume you have checked the Settings>FaceTime>FaceTime switch is on and that you have your correct Apple ID in there as well?
What happens when you launch the FaceTime app and attempt to make a FaceTime call, what message(s) do you get?

After updating my iPhone 5 to the ios 7, my imessage feature and facetime will not work.

After updating my iPhone 5 to the ios 7, imessage nor facetime will work. Anyone else with this problem?

First try Resetting it: Hold down the home and sleep button, ignore the red OFF slider, wait for the Apple logo then let go.
If that does not work, Restore your iPhone in iTunes from your backup.
If that still does not fix it, Restore your iPhone and a new phone (not from backup) and see how it works. If it is doing fine you have a app you are using that is probably causing your problem. Load them one and a time until the problems recur and you will have found the one that is a problem.

After upgrading to iOS 8 the iPhone 5c start freezing, battery life is too short, etc.

How to downgrade to iOS 7.
Thanks,
<Re-Titled By Host>

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device without using any backup would be the next step:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

My iphone 4 keeps freezing on the back up stage of updating it to IOS 5 ... HELP!

It downloaded all ok but everytime i try to update my iphone 4 it freezes on the backing up stage, any ideas?

Possible, but not 100% sealproof. -1 can happen in a variety of situations, not always jailbroken. It's a baseband error and while the risk of getting that error is higher on a non-factory unlocked device, it can still happen.
Even if OP was jailbroken and removed the jailbreak, it's quite difficult, if not impossible to tell the device has been jailbroken before if restored as brand new.
Take the device to an Apple Store for evaluation.

That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

1. If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
2. If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network? Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)? If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem. Genius bar would be the next step.
