First iPhone 4 Facetime test: FAIL

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Jun 24 '10, 10:21

maybe firewall related on one end (corporate wifi and public wifi) so we're going to try on two public wifi networks in about 15 minutes but that wasn't impressive

Responses:

Public test worked better. Video a little choppy on Starbucks WiFi but it worked - oblique Jun 24, 10:38
why do people use wifi over 3G/4G on the iPhone? Faster? Cap on 3G data through the ATT plan? -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 10:24 14
- Well, it's required for Facetime, but yes, WiFi is going to be much much faster than 3G and also not count towards your cap -- nm - oblique Jun 24, 10:25
- I think you need to use wifi to use the video chap feature (I think). -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 24, 10:25 1
  - leather video chaps? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 10:35
- For starters, wifi is typically faster. Especially at home where I can access via fios connection. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 24, 10:25 10
  - Hmm. I think at first when I had the wifi on, it would slow down or freeze when it couldn't find the wifi signal, so i turned it off. - TFox Jun 24, 10:28 9
    - I've never tried the wifi with my Android. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 10:28 8
      - If you are using the phone at home it's really silly not to use wifi, imo, unless your home connection is very slow. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 24, 10:34 3
        
        I don't ever notice speed issues on 3G on my phone, and my house is tall enough now that the wifi can be dicey on the ground floor. - TFox Jun 24, 10:38
        
        Word. I never wanted to use a smartphone until they implemented the WiFi feature. It's the best thing ever. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 10:36 1
        
        (Not using it = giving the cell phone companies FREE MONEY.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 10:36
      - We also have no data cap, so who cares. Lets rejoice in our unlimited data! -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 10:29 3
        
        Yeah, it never matters to me. It's fast enough, but I'll have to try it and see if it's quicker. I wonder if it will be for my wife's HTC EVO. - JaxSean Jun 24, 10:42
        
        I have unlimited data still. But since most people take advantage of wifi connections, something like 98% of iphone users are under 2GB/month. - Don Homer Jun 24, 10:31

- Well, the people you call would sure appreciate it. -- nm - Jim Jun 24, 10:23
