FaceTime between two iPads does not ring
Hi folks,
I recently purchased two iPad2, upated to the latest firmware and had to find out that FaceTime somehow seems to "forget" the registration. It only works after reboot or after disabling and enabling it through the iPad's settings.
Details:
My iPad is a 3G with 32 GB, the other one is a wifi only with 16 GB. Both are connected to wifi in separate locations. I also forwarded all ports as described in the knowledgebase article but we still only can get it to work by rebooting the iPads or disabling and enabling FaceTime.
Most of the time it just works in one direction (e.g. the wifi iPad calling the 3G one) - the call goes through and I am able to answer the call. But most of the time when I try to call the wifi iPad, my iPad tries to connect, plays the "ringing" sound but nothing happens - the call does not reach the other iPad at all.
There is also no error message...
Do you have any ideas? It somehow ***** that we have to initiate the FaceTime call using plain old telephones ;-)... I was hoping that it "just works".
Perhaps this is a bug that is hopefully fixed in iOS5?
Thanks!
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.2
