Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi?

Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi? My friend in Texas has tried to call my via FaceTime but for some reason, every time she does, it keeps saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi. Keep in mind, I am from Nebraska so we have the same time zone and I have an iPod 4 while she has a iPhone of some sort but that shouldn't matter because I am still able to FaceTime my friend in California, which is two hours behind me. So, I guess I just want to know why I cannot reach my friend in Texas. Please, someone help me!

Full bars, No service

I just activated my iPhone 5s from my 4s. Everything looks great, I even have full bars, However I can not dial out. I have no service but full bars?
I have tried everything from resetting the network settings to turning the phone on and off. HELP!

@GJE,
VZW to the rescue! Where are you located (zip)? Try removing the sim card for a few minutes. Insert and retest. Keep us posted if the issue persist.

Full Bar Signal but Unattended

sometimes even if my phone's signal is full bar and when someone tried to call me, they said that my number is unreachable. just like when your phone is turned off or you don't have signal. i tried on my other nokia phone, it doesn't have that problem. Nokia N95-1 RM-159 31.0.017
N95-1
V 31.0.017
16-12-08
RM-159

This could be some hardware problem. But you can try resetting the phone (soft reset, hard reset, deep reset), and upgrading the firmware. If the problem gets solved, well and good. Otherwise, and most probably, you will have to take it to a Nokia Care Center and get it inspected.

What could be done to solve the problem?

Try settings/general/reset/reset network settings. If that does not do it then contact your carrier

My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals. We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhone NO

My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals. We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhones and it cuts in and out.. Drops from 3 wifi bars to 1

I am having the same problem with brand new Ipad Mini at my house.
It connects to the WiFi fine - but will not pull an IP address in DHCP mode, or if I set all the IP info statically - it still will not get any network access.
This doesn't look like a WiFi issue, as it does connect and is seen by the WiFi Access Point. All the normal WiFi fix stuff doesn't help.
- Using a Dlink DAP-2553 which is less than 2 months old.
Other devices connect fine, including Ipad 2.
This same Mini worked fine at another house and also connected to a mobile hotspot fine....so seems to be some weird IP issue with maybe this Access Point or maybe the older Router that I have (older Netgear)?
I am actually a network engineer and still have not been able to find a solution. Both the Ipad Mini and the Dlink WAP have the latest firmware loaded.
Wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem.

I have full bars but i can't connect to the internet. I've done all the usuall thing like reset the ipad reset my internet security but everytime it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" Any ideas?y

As with previous posts this is usually a DHCP issue and occurs frequently especially with routers connected to Cable Modems or those Micro-Cell towers.
Unplug all Routers, AirPorts (or other off brand Wi-Fi broadcast units) and any other Wireless broadcast unit that might provide you with a WDS (often other AirPorts feeding off the signal of the AirPort closest to Cable/DSL Modem) and best to totally power down the Unit affected; lastly either hold a reset button on Cable/DSL modem for 30-45 seconds or actually power it down if an option (not suppose to power down Cable Modems that have Telephony for some odd never completely explained to me reason).
Let Cable/DSL Modem re-boot till 'all green lights'. Then power up each device involved in order from closest to farthest waiting each time for completion of initiation. Micro-cell towers can take 10 minutes to completely re-boot and you must wait for across the board green lights in my experience. Even WDS can add a few minutes till all green on mother AirPort unit.
Only NOW may you re-start the offending device and see if it will connect. Works about 99% of the time!

My home wifi is available at full bars on the settings menu, but when selected it says it cannot be joined, and when it does connect, it only lasts a few seconds before disconnecting. My laptop connects to the wifi perfectly fine though. Help?

When in the Wi-Fi menu under settings, my iPod five will display the different wifi networks in range, including my home wifi network. The shown network has full bars and my laptop will connect to the network with no trouble. When the wifi on my ipod is selected though, it will show it is loading to connect, it will actually connect for five-ten or sometimes twenty seconds, and then it will disconnect. The wifi never automatically connects on my iPod5. It always has to be done manually and then does not establish a complete connection. No matter where I stand in the house, even if it is right beside the router, this happens. Sometimes when the network is chosen it refuses to connect and gives the message "Unable to Join". I've had it for a year and a half and for about the first six months it never had this problem. But then it began, and it would go through monthly cycles of working perfectly and doing what it is doing now. As of now I haven't been able to connect for three months. I'd like to think it's simply the wifi itself but mine and my sibling's laptops will connect with no trouble. It's extremely frustrating and I have no idea how to handle the problem. Please help?

Hey Saanasaana, Have you tried going into Settings>General>Reset and tapping Reset All Settings. If still no joy... Reset Network Settings and rebooting the router. If that doesn't do it, try Settings then tap the offending Wi-Fi Network, then tap Forget this Network and re-load it, as if it was a new network.
Your next options are to Restore. Connect to your iPod with your computer with the cable, and make new backups / copies of all your stuff to your computer first, then Restore from Backup. If that does not solve, Restore to New, a full restore. Note restore to new will wipe you iPod put it back to factory specs, that's why your need to make backups of everything on your iPod before you do it so you can reload your stuff back to your iPod. If the full restore does not solve you may have a hardware issue, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck. Cheers.

Airport network connected on full bars but "no internet connection" and missing lock icon!

this is really frustrating!
I'm using wireless in my house. when i click on my network it connects and it shows perfect connection which is full bars.
on Network Preferences it says that i'm connected to the Airport but when i go to Safari it shows "You are not connected to the Internet" so i click on Network Diagnostic where the 3 network status on top has the green indicator but the ISP, Internet and Server show red and failed.
I don't think there's anything wrong with my internet connection since I'm able to go online using my sister's computer and also on my iPhone.
There's also usually a Lock icon/symbol next to my network's name but when i'm connected to my network the Lock icon seems to be missing but it still shows full bars connection. I really don't get how it's possible to be connected to a network, but no internet connection, while i can access the internet on other devices.
Please help me out here. I've tried ways like going to library>preferences then put the system configuration into Trash, and going to Network Preferences and removing the Airport service and creating a new one.
and one more thing. all mentioned above are when i clicked on Advanced on network preferences then i clicked on TCP/IP and changed the Configure IPv4 from Using DHCP to Manually. When i'm back to using DHCP there's an exclamation point over the airport icon on the top bar and it says no internet connection.

Got my own question answered by a colleague.
He had me create another "Location" in the network pane of System Preferences, then choose it and click Apply. I created a new location which I called 'Airport', chose it and clicked Apply and sure enough, an IP address showed up and all is well.
Justin said it's a network bug in Leopard.

Well, it could be that your carrier doesn't have a signal when it looses its signal. You could try resetting network settings which might help - Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings. You'll need to set up any wi-fi networks you connect too again. If you're still having issues, contact your carrier.
Good luck!

I have an old PowerPC and a Macbook Pro running 10.6.7 sitting side by side. Both are using AirPort to connect to the internet wirelessly to the same router, but the old Mac connects with full bars, but the MBP struggles with only 2. Pls help, thanks!

Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet. The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing. With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

There are two ends to a wifi network. Try rebooting your router.

3G issues (full bars w/ 3G, but apps and safari won't connect)

I recently got the 3G iphone 16gb and right now it has this problem:
I would turn on 3G and get full bars and the 3G icon would appear, but when I try to open gmail and update, it would not connect and pop an error message "unable to retreive..." or take a really long time and not do anything at all. Same goes for Facebook app and Safari.
Upon the failure of the app the bars would drop to zero, the 3G icon would dissappear. I would press the home screen and exit, and while it idles in the main screen, bars would go back to full and 3G would appear again.
I would try to open Safari or apps again, and the process is repeated.
I called FIDO my provider, and they suggested a hard restart. It worked... for 5 minutes.
2nd time around I called and they suggested that since I was using a SIM card back from 2005, I needed the 3G enable SIM from the iPhone when it was delivered to me. Switched the line to the new SIM that came with it, and still no luck.
Hard resets, restarts, have no effect in solving the problem. And the funny story is, I was using the 8gb 3G before this 16gb with the old 2005 SIM and it worked perfectly.
Is it possible that something is wrong with the phone? I've made an appointment in the genius bar, but can anyone shed some light?

I started having a similar problem 3 days ago. I'm with Rogers and new SIM card (never was on Rogers previously). I usually stay on 3G. I've done a restore (without backup) on iTunes, reset network settings, hard restore....no luck.
I can make & receive phone calls just fine. Safari is either slow or times out (server stopped responding) and same with e-mail.
I seem to do better with 3G disabled.
I have had my phone for more than 4 months without a problem...until Dec 2.
Personally, I'm beginning to think it's something with the Rogers/Fido network in certain cities, but no one at Rogers/Fido will admit to it.

Shows full bars and connectvity in wifi but when hen saysim not connected

I turn on my wifi at a hotspot at d mall and it connects to a network and shows full bars and connectivity but whenev I try to open safari or my email it says im not connnected to d internet... ??? ummm no clue! a lil help plis!!

Some hotspots require additional authentication (you have to open Safari and click an Agree to Terms button, etc.). Others are 'open' networks, but require use proxy server which restricts access. If it works at home but not at the mall, the issue is with that network - you could try asking whoever's network it is.
