MY facetime almost worked over 3G, I was able to see my wife while she was on WiFi but she could not see me as I was on 3G, she just had a black screen.
Got a tip for us?

i just tried using MyWi outside with full bars and 3g to facetime a friend who was on wifi. i was able to call but when it got to the part where it says "connecting" it failed. maybe 3g cant handle it?
FaceTime not working
After I jailbroke my iPhone 4 my FaceTime won't connect when someone sends me a FaceTime call on both wifi or my3g. I can successfully connect to FaceTime only when I send them the call. So if I get a FaceTime request from someone it will say that I'm busy. It will only work if I send it. I tried resetting network settings, deleting rock and my3g, winterboard. I think I have to restore and rejailbreak. Anyone else having this issue??

I'm having the exact same problem. Already did a full restore and rejailbreak with same issue. Rebooting and resetting network settings didn't help, nor did updating Cydia.
Yes it does. I posted a pic in another thread of me being on 3G while my husband was connected to wifi.
I downloaded My3G Monday morning as soon as I saw the thread that said it was available. The only time we seem to have connecting issues is if he is on a free wifi. If he is at the house using our wifi, we connect every time. Doesn't matter who starts the call. But if he is somewhere like school or a restaurant, I can't connect to him. It will get stuck at the connecting screen but if he calls me it will go through. I don't know why it is working that way but it is.
I know this probably doesn't help but just my experience. I will say that once you do get it working it pretty cool. My husband called me earlier on the phone and it was awkward. We both commented that after using FaceTime at will a regular phone call was so 20th century.
it could just be the free wifi is filtering the ports required by facetime.
To use FaceTime on a restricted Wi-Fi network, port forwarding must be enabled for ports 80, 443, 3478, 4080, 5223, and 16393-16402 (UDP).

My3G works fine for me. I tested it this morning while driving to work and was able to connect to my gf iphone through facetime. It was little choppy but served the purpose. Also, youtube and appstore works fine. Maps app is crashing on me but I dont know if its related or not.
PS. connection was lost after 2 min. It could have been low coverage area.

Ah, didn't think of that. I'll have him check and hopefully that will take care of problem. Thanks!
im using my3g and so is my wife, but when i call her on facetime, and she accepts, it says she is busy. but it works when she calls me....
I'm having the same problem when I call my brother. It says he's busy when I call him but it works when he calls me. I'm on 3g and he's on wi-fi if that helps. Anyone out there have any ideas?
I just downloaded trial of my3g and the only thing i can test right now is youtube...but im confused becasue i never needed wifi to watch youtube videos so how would i know its actually working?
My problem was a variation of yours. When I called my wife, it kept saying she was busy. When she called me, we couldn't connect either. This was over wifi/wifi, not 3G/3G or 3G/wifi. Obviously, over 3G it didn't work either. At first I thought my phone was the problem. I went through the trouble of restoring my phone to a backup. Problem persisted. Then I restored it to "new phone" condition. Problem persisted. But then I decided to Facetime someone other than my wife and it worked. I scratched my head
Then I had my brother-in-law call my wife...and you know what?...He had the same exact problem!! It kept telling him that she was busy! At that point, I decided that the problem was her phone. This was perplexing since her phone had never been jailbroken and I had made a successful Facetime call to her in the morning from my jailbroken phone over wifi/wifi and since that time she had not installed anything new or changed any settings. Anyways, I restored HER phone and now everything works (I haven't checked YouTube yet). I don't understand what could have make her phone wonky.Try watching a high def video. It should not scale the quality down because it will be thinking that you're on wifi. I haven't personally tried this yet though.
I looked all over the apple youtube and there is no where for high def video correct? So your talking about the web app? And if so i guess i would have to make sure my3g was turned on for safari?
By the way i got to try facetime and skype and both work without an issue.....i love my iphone again
kinda off subject but the day the jailbrake dropped i fealt like i was a 10 year old on christmas night playing with my new toy....im 30 by the way

installed my3g on both our phones. facetime wouldn't work at all even on wifi. rebooted, reset network settings, nothing left to update in cydia. uninstalled on both phones and now ft works again on wifi. oh well. i was curious to see how it looked over 3g.
Same exact problems here. I can call my wife and connect, but when she calls me it says I'm busy. I need to find a 3rd person to try with to see if it's my phone or hers.
bripad,
I have My3G via Rock.
What would be the other source of getting My3G?
I take it 3G Unrestrictor can be had through Cydia?
I agree Rock is not working out here. I can't even
transfer my old license to my new phone as their
servers are overloaded.
