My iphone5 's Facetime is not working very well as my previous 4S. It is because of iOS6 or it is about the hardware?

My iphone5 is having a problem talking over Facetime between Bangkok and Japan. The system shows "reconnecting" several times recently. Today it showed "unable to connect" both from my iphone5 and ipad 3rd gen.
What is the problem ?
Please fix it before i get back to skype via many choices in the market!

I too have seen this problem exhibit with IOS 6
Often it is related to wifi issues with iOS 6 rather than face time
This is a user to user forum and whilst I sympathise with your frustration threatening to go to another platform doesn't serve any purpose here other than telling other users how you feel.
Keep an eye open for updates to iOS and take a look at the wifi issues posted here - perhaps see if the problem exhibits when you are connected to wifi elsewhere?
Good luck

  • What do i do if my home button is not working very well if at all on my ipod touch 4g

    my home button has not been working very well if at all lately. it really buggs me because i have to use the little assistive touch thing, it gets kinda annoying after using that for awhile. now i know that you can take it off and replace it your self most likely ( i know you can on the iphones at least) i just dont want to risk screwing up my ipod. any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • WIFI and 3g not working very well together on 5s 8.1

    Since I have upgraded my iPhone 5s, the wifi conection is too instable and slow.
    I tried to reset all the settings but not resolve my issue.
    So, I found in the internet one hint that said to turn off the celular data while using the wifi. Doing this, the wifi connection works better, but it still slow and drop sometimes.
    Before the 8.1, everything was working perfectly.
    I tested the same wifi connection in my old iPhone with iOs 6 and in my MacBook, both work perfectly, but the 5S with 8.1, no.
    Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

  • Wireless working, but not working very well.

    Lo there all,
    i followed the wiki and some threads here in the forums to set up a pci wireless card for my kids arch box. It is working, but could use some improvement.
    First off, it is an rt61 and the module that loads for it is the rt61pci. Cool enough. To get the thing connected after a boot, i have to put this in the terminal.
    iwconfig wlan0 up
    iwlist wlan0 scan
    iwconfig wlan0 essid myessid
    then i am on line, no problem...
    it connects by dhcp ( what i have in rc.conf )
    but.... it drops the connection every once in a while. .
    It's kinda random... after a long while or a short while, it just drops off. i think it has connected again,, but mostly it is off for good..
    So that is one question... what do i do there ?
    next.. .what do i put in rc.conf to not have to type stuff in the terminal every boot ?
    thanks

    ok, made some changes as recommended here.. here is what i have

  • Gmail - Mail IMAP not working very well

    Hey all, I'm having some trouble with moving from POP to IMAP on my mac. I just set it up and it works fine except for receiving mail and syncing up with gmail online but for some reason I am unable to send emails straight from Mail. It seems that Mail can't connect with the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP). It 's set to send to "smtp.gmail.com" as per the instructions at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=81379. In the preferences pane that seems to translate to smtp.gmail.com:(my email address).
    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for reading!

    What are your settings for the Incoming and Outgoing ports; do they match exactly what Gmail advises in their Help page for Mail? If not, it won't work.

    I am in the same boat. I get an error when trying to connect via 10.5, but 10.4 on the same computer is just fine.
    This is just one symptom of my general network issues with my fresh install of 10.5 on a brand new internal HDD. I'll be interested to see how it goes...

  • The mouse that came with my imac does not work very well in a window virtual machine

    I finally got Windows 7 on my iMac and am using FusionVM.  I installed one of my favorite games and the mouse goes soooooo slow I cannot use the game.  Any suggestions?  I am using the mouse that came with the iMac, magic mouse(??). 

    I have already tried that.  The mouse speed on the iMac is good.  The mouse speed in other Windows7 programs is good.  The problem arose when I tried to play Zuma's Revenge using Windows7.  This is the first game I have loaded since setting up the virtual machine.

  • My home button doesn't work very well, I reset and restored my Ipod but it still doesn't work

    I've had this 4th gen. IPod since about mid-June, and it worked fine up until about a month ago.  The home button doesn't work very well, and by that I mean if I'm in an app and hit the button once, it won't respond, or it'll think I hit it twice.  If I hit the button twice, it either won't respond, or it will think I hit it once.  I took it to the Apple store where they reset it.  They said that if that didn't work, then to restore it.  Well since resetting it didn't work, I restored it, and that didn't work either.  I've had the same generation IPod before and never had this problem.  Any advice?

It's not banned in my country and FaceTime works perfect on my iPhone
