I don't understand why the person has to be in your contacts to FaceTime them ...
Because that is how the FaceTime app is written. Other ways could have been used, but you are using the one that was chosen.

Yes, they would (so long as they are using the same app you use.) That is how FaceTime works. It works that way in my iPad, iPod, and on my Macs, too. Therefore, I guess it does work "both ways."
I note that if you "dial their number" on the iPhone, you are phoning them, not using FaceTime.

HT201272 FaceTime icon missing on iPhone 5. How do I get it back?
Help! FaceTime icon has vanished on my iPhone 5...beginning to wonder if it was ever there!
How do I get it back? It is part of the Apple built-in Apps. I can ask Siri to use FaceTime and it is on the buttons in contacts and both links work... but the icon is not on my home screen anywhere! I have it on my iPad.. so shouldn't it be on my iPhone as well?You don't have a separate FaceTime app on an iPhone like you do on an iPad, instead you access it via the button at the bottom of a contact in the Contacts app or Phone app.

FaceTime icon missing from iphone
New phone and just noticed that the isn't a FaceTime icon. ???

No, "huge" was not a mistake. I find the phrase "epic failure" to be ridiculous and something primarily used by teenagers with no sense of perspective. I do not use it.
As an actual user, I find the idea of an additional app to make calls redundant. If I'm going to make a call, I make it from the Phone app, of which Contacts is a part. The true joy of FaceTime over other video calling apps such as Skype or Tango is its tight integration into the phone. Pulling it out into a separate app, while understandable on the iPad and the iPod Touch which have no Phone app, diminishes that. In my opinion, Apple got it precisely right.
Should you wish to apprise Apple of your opinion, use the Feedback page:

Best of luck.
lol Seriously? wow epic fail ^^^^^^^^^^
I really hope you're getting paid to haunt these forums. Did you forget the part where you're simply a fanboy and I am an expert in User Experience, Interface Design, and usability? Look kid, you lost this one, but don't give up OK? Everyone can see above how devoted you are to Apple. We get it. It's just a company that makes gadgets. This latest one is a kinda cool, but... a bit disappointing in several aspects. This is one of them. They really blew it here. It can only be classified as "Epic Fail". Get over it. They'll fix it in the next update. -
The facetime icon on my new iPhone 4 disappeared. I am able to initiate a facetime call via the button on the contact screen. However, I am unable to find the icon that was originally on my phone.
It hasn't disappeared since it was never available on your iPhone. There is no FaceTime icon with the iPhone. The reason the icon is available with an iPod Touch and an iPad that includes a front and rear camera is because those devices don't include a phone.

Lumia Icon - missing features and behavior
I replaced my Lumia 920 with the Icon yesterday.
A main software feature was not present. The Lock Screen Timeout option for NEVER is missing on the Icon. It was present on the 920. Now the screen goes dark every 5 minutes. Besides being fundamentally irritating, this is a problem while driving and other dangerous situations.
Also, sound files in the Ringtones directory do not appear in the available ringtones list. I used .wma and .mp3 sound file formats.Hi, jockey4her. Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Have you configured your Lumia phone to connect to your corporate email? If yes, this is the reason why the option went away.
Also, this feature can vary depending of the chosen customization (operator variant) and the display technology. This means that all Lumia phones do not have the ‘Never’ option. -
Iphone 4:
After update to iOs5 my facetime icon is no more visible
I can receive facetime calls but unable to call
Any good tip?
ThanksDid you activate FaceTime in the Restrictions? Go to Settings/General/Restrictions -> FaceTime.
Is FaceTime activated in Settings/FaceTime?
As already mentioned by UK-Max, there is no FaceTime icon like it is on the ipod touch 4G, it is build into your contact info. -
IPhone 4 Camera Icon Missing, Facetime Unavailable after add Mail Exchange
iPhone 4 running 4.0.1
when my iPhone setup to MS Exchange email account (my company) I noticed that iPhone 4 Camera Icon Missing, Facetime Unavailable. I remove the account from "setting" - "Mail" and all feature came back to normal.
This also happened to my colleague (iPhone 4 FM 4.0) connected to same MS Exchange server.
However; I posted this issue on other forum and other iPhone 4 users don't have the same issue connected to Exchange.
My Company running MS Exchange 2007Got it working now iOS support Exchange Policy!
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090617122000AAy6ZwS
Exchange 2007 has active sync policies. One of the options is to disallow the camera.
To resolve the problem do the following.
1) Open Exchange Management Console
2) Click "Organization Configuration"
3) Click "Client Access"
4) On the right you should see your active sync policies. Right click the policy and chose "Properties"
5) Click the "Device" tab
6) Check "Allow camera"
And bingo it works!!!! -
Hi,
I bought my ipod touch 4th generation two weeks ago from iStyle in UAE.
But I noticed that there is no "FaceTime" icon between the apps.
However, one of my friends has bought an ipod from a store in UAE and he got the "FaceTime" icon. I asked him how did he got the icon he said I don't remember. When he first bought his ipod there was no "FaceTime" icon.
Is there a way I can get the icon back?
Thanks,Probably nothing you can do. Dubia does not allow FT. See:

FaceTime icon is missing from my iPhone 4s
the facetime icon was on my phone and now it's not showing. facetime is on as i can recieve and send (via contacts), but the icon is no longer showing on my phone. i have powered down and back on, resynched with itunes but nothing.
FaceTime does not have an icon on the iPhone. FaceTime calls can be made under Contacts, then select a contact, and towards the bottom there is a button for FaceTime.
If you would like FaceTime to have its own icon, submit feedback to Apple:

Missing Features, Bugs, and Wish List for Apple Engineers
I LOVE my iPhone. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. The interface is awesome. Great job Apple, but there are missing features and bugs that all of us want updated or wish were added. I know they were probably already thought of by Apple, but in an effort to make the phone perfect removed to make it more stable. Now that it is out lets make it perfect.
This thread will hopefully give you guys guidance from the early adopters who share your love for the phone (and others who want to chime in). I want to separate the list into a few categories and hope everyone will add to this thread with their ideas:
1) BUGS/CHANGES TO EXISTING APPS:
- Period should be in alphabet keyboard (make space smaller) or when you go to symbol keyboard and hit period it should automatically go back to the alphabet keyboard (unless you double click the symbol button which means stay there like caps lock)
- Individual delete (like Mail) of all lists (eg. call list, bookmarks list, history etc.
- Multiple item in a List delete (see below for how to select). This is also so un-Mac like to not be able to select multiple items to delete. It is all or none for clear/delete on the iPhone.
- Implement double finger slide...in maps double finger tap zooms out so the OS recognizes this, why don't you use a double finger drag to mean "select". There is no way to select some words in a sentence or a group of items. This could be how. eg. In a list (eg Mail) double finger slide over items you want to select (instead of singer finger drag which moves the list) then one finger slide to the right to delete the selected items from the list.
- Copy and paste. Since there are no menus this would require a gesture (ala newton)
- when you tap the battery icon it should bring up a battery status dialog (ala wifi join dialog where the screen dims): present charge, big battery icon (like the charging one), time left. In addition, instead of giving battery usage details only after a full charge, give it at any point.
- Since you know that nights and weekends are at set times (and not variable like it was on Sprint where I came from)...the phone usage details should be broken down into: peak minutes used and N+W minutes used (not hard to figure out since you know the time and dates of calls)
- Be able to change font/background etc in Notes app
- faster way to get to favorites in the killer phone app after turning on phone. Just seems like it takes too many taps to get there to make a call on a phone.
2) WISH LIST FOR NEW APPS (apps that can be added with existing hardware, see #3 for other wishes)
- iChat (obvious and probably almost done)
- VOIP (probably not going to happen, and wouldn't work in Europe where I would need it most gven network speeds there)
- Flight tracker widget
- Exchange support (probably in the works)
- Push email from gmail and .Mac (probably in the works)
- Bluetooth sync
- DUN (probably not going to happen since AT+T does not want it)
- Data/File storage with sync
- TODO APP that syncs to to do in iCal
- Ringtones, definitely from songs from iPod side (obvious and coming soon I am sure)
-Search function like spotlight. Global would be awesome, but even just in contacts
3) FUTURE HARDWARE RELATED WISHES (stuff we wish could be in hardware version 1 but know require a version 2):
- GPS
- 3G
- LED that changes color and/or pulses (like MacBooks sleep light) that indicates things (eg charge status, Voice mail status, roaming status etc) without turning on the phone
- Move camera to front to allow video conferencing (I doubt Steve would allow since it would mess up the clean front look)
Well I could go on and will add to this thread later, but I need to go to work to show everyone (and sell more apple stuff since many of my colleagues have been converted to macs). Now, all you pioneers, start adding things to help our beloved phone become better!
Peter
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.6)I agree with your post! I'm amazed by the simplicity, the screen, and the apps on the iPhone. They all have worked wonderfully for me, with just a few crashes while surfing or loading big email images. (I heard that shutting down the phone and restarting helps that.)
The single flaw for me is that the phone app itself should be primary, with more options (quicker access, unique ringtones, voicedial?) and ease of use. The other applications are so elegant, but I need my phone to be very accessible and practical too.
My wish list:
1) Make it fewer taps to get to the point where you can make a phone call. How about the main button can be programmed to take you wherever you want. I'd choose to go to Phone Favorites, so I could speed dial right away.
2) Be able to set a preference as to what app you're in when you wake up the phone. I'd choose phone keypad, some might choose iCal, etc.
3) Add the period and comma symbols to the alpha keyboard.
4) Allow different ringtones for specific caller ID's.
5) Copy and paste.
V2) With new hardware, add a "back" button to return to prev. screen. It could be small, on the side near volume?

The thread is intended to keep together a list of BT Cloud features that people would like but that are not present. It is sometimes difficult to keep buts and missing features apart; if posting please try to keep to the 'missing features' subject. While I can, I will edit this first post rather than adding extra posts as I add extra comments.
BT Cloud is a new service (or a new interface to an old service) so has many missing features; with luck if we record these the team will try to get them added at some point. I have found them very responsive on the issues with speed (even though they haven't yet managed to resolve them), and I hope they will be equally responsive here.
~~~~~~~~
Sharing of directories
I can share files but not directories. On the Windows GUI, 'Share' is greyed out when a directory is selected. On the web GUI, you can select 'Share', but all the options are then greyed out except 'Show Sharing History'
~~~~~~~~~
Multi-select
Normal multi-select options don't work in either GUI.
Expect shift-click to select a range of files/directories.
Expect ctrl-a to select all.
etc.
~~~~~~~~~~
Not enough control of when backup happens
No control to prevent BT Cloud starting when computer starts
Also, it starts instances for ALL users ~ in many cases backup will only be required from one 'main' user.
No pause button to pause backup
No exit button to stop backup altogether
Correction: these buttons do exist, but are in a completely non-conventional place,
after clicking left button on the notification icon a secondary (nonstandard) pair of icons comes up,
if you right-click on the left of these you get a useful menu with pause, exit and help.
These should all appear on a right button click of the notification icon,
and help should be available from the main screen as a button or by hitting F1.
~~~~~~~~~~
Backup of folders from network drive
Don't seem to be able to select folders from a network drive to back up.
Dones not work using either network drive directly, or via mapped drive letter.

Easy backup of music files from android
This is available on Windows, and can be done manually on android, but esasier interface needed on Androidsjtp wrote:

You will have to disregard my previous comments. It seems that when I tried to use the BT Cloud app for the first time it had not set up fully. There was no access to the help pages.
A section by section read through the instructions shows that most features in my listing are there. Even a pause feature, and of course, being able to quit the app..
For every day use the app seems to be fully effective.
Other users with more advanced demands may find some problems.
The demands on the Windows 7 operating system are low, using little processing time and only a minor RAM usage. -
I have deleted the Facetime icon from a Contact but now want to reinstate it. How do I do this?
On my iPad Air, I have deleted the FaceTime icon from many of my listed Contacts. Is there a way to restore the icon and FaceTime facility to selected contacts?
Some of my contacts in Contacts have the Facetime icon in their listing, some don't. I guess I've deleted it from those where it's missing, though not sure how! How can I get it back when it's missing? in Edit, I can add new email addresses, phone numbers etc, but I can't figure out how to add FaceTime to a listing.

IPt bug/ missing features list
have my iPt now for two weeks and think it is time for this list. additions welcome
bugs/ inconsistencies:
- shuffle icon doesn't turn off when turning it off in "shuffle all songs" mode
- when switching back to video, the currently played video should be present as with music play
- once switched 24hr mode, switching back to 12hr mode doesn't work
- Japanese IME not available in widescreen orientation
- orientation doesn't change whilst in input mode
- screen orientation for all screens
- 360 degree screen; orientation change in any direction (currently only works one way)
missing features:
- the usual suspects: scheduler edit, missing email, 3rd party sdk
- album/ artist shuffle
- video/ tv shows continues play
- apple should talk to apple: safari support for apple .mac websites (email, quicktime)
- usb disk support
- better volume and position control as fine tuning is difficult; maybe reintroduce circular motion

Not sure what you are referring too... If I tap the screen once to get the commands to come up and then tap the shuffle icon, it changes from blue to white depending on whether shuffle on or off.
somehow, i can't reproduce it now. a friend showed me and i tried myself agreeingly. now it works ;>| - let you know when i find it again
- when switching back to video, the currently played video should be present as with music play
I am with you on that one
- once switched 24hr mode, switching back to 12hr mode doesn't work
- Japanese IME not available in widescreen orientation
- orientation doesn't change whilst in input mode
input mode?
once they keyboard comes up (input mode) and you tilt the iPt, it doesn't switch orientation anymore until you finished
- screen orientation for all screens
- 360 degree screen; orientation change in any direction (currently only works one way)
Actually, if you are in the music section, you can turn the screen to get an orientation in 3 positions. The only one position it wont move to is the one where the IPT is upside down.
1. it should be able to switch in any section; even in lists because this would be natural for a user.
2. upside down should definetly work because many people will have the iPt in a pocket, or additionaly, like me in a small pouch-bag. since the headphone jack is on the bottom, the natural position on first view when taking it out will always be upside down in such cases.
missing features:
- the usual suspects: scheduler edit, missing email, 3rd party sdk
- album/ artist shuffle
Isn't that pretty much the same as song shuffle? I don't think I have ever gone to a song on the same album, much less the same artist.
no. i am a bit old school, mind me saying that, and am usually listening to whole albums. so, i just want the next album being choosen by random. btw, itunes and the old iPods have this functionality already. as for the artists, i think, the same should apply and am sure to use it. maybe it is not your listening style but i know plenty of people doing it.
If you go into the selection list that arranges by album or artist and select a song through there the shuffle works just on the album or artist you opened, if that was what you meant.
- video/ tv shows continues play
Thats a cool idea, so it just runs one episode after another
- apple should talk to apple: safari support for apple .mac websites (email, quicktime)
I think i read somewhere that you should be forwarded too the .mac website that is made for the IPT and the iPhone
well, i am not forwarded to other than just the regular mail interface when going to webmail.mac.com. just viewing is fine but trying to compose a message always breaks somewhere, either entering the address field before entering the text field, or when getting it right when pressing "sent". in such cases the the IPt just returns to the main application screen and that is it for this. if you find what you were mentioning, pleasxe post
- usb disk support
Not sure what you are refering too.... using the IPT for storage or using a USB key for extra space to store on the touch
well, both would be cool, though we might get that one with the upcoming SDK, but at least as USB key as with the old iPods
- better volume and position control as fine tuning is difficult; maybe reintroduce circular motion
- itunes-like search
I love the search idea.... let us type in the artist or song name with that fabulous onscreen KB.
especially considering that yet again the old iPods have this already, safe the on-screen keyboard -
