If anyone wants to get FaceIt-3GS working on 3G download from cydia -> 3G Unrestrictor. Once you download that go to Edit -> + -> search MobilePhone (FaceTime) add that to the List and your good to go. Enjoy!

sss - November 9, 2010 at 5:06am

i have same problem

Kas - November 9, 2010 at 9:13am

I have the same problem, too :(

Redwings - November 9, 2010 at 2:47am

Installed on iphone 3GS OS 4.1. Wow.. worked perfectly. Initially if you go settings at SpringBoard, go Phone and you see, waiting for authorization, once you close the settings and reopen it again, it showed "Your phone number will be shared with people you call with FaceTime" Go to contact list and select a contact and you realize the FaceTime button is appeared. I tried called a iphone4 and it showed the camera upside down while waiting to connect iphone4. Once connected, everything is prefect !!

Have you tried to uninstall and see any thing is missing from your phone ?

Mauricio - November 8, 2010 at 11:31pm

Once I turn it on, I get a "Waiting for Activation" message, but nothing happens?? So I uninstalled it, reboot, and surprise something messes up the phone, and I get no keyboard sounds, no alerts, no vibraton, etc.. anyways, I had to reinstall the app in order to get my phone to work correcty, but the facetime video won't work!!!

Jason - November 8, 2010 at 10:40pm

After install this .. WhatsApp will crash .. anyone got solutions ?

vdesai - November 8, 2010 at 10:36pm

tried all kinda things but wouldn't activate.

Dan Diemer - November 8, 2010 at 9:12pm

To answer my earlier question 3G Unrestrictor (and i would imagine My3G) works perfectly with this. I made a 3G facetime call from a car to my friends iPhone 4. I had to redraft a couple of times to get FaceTime to activate before I unrestricted it.

DT - November 10, 2010 at 3:43pm

You got 3g Unr.. working with FaceIt-3gs firmware 4.1?? I havent gotten it to work or Facebreak wont work either

Dan Diemer - November 10, 2010 at 4:58pm

Yah after installing faceit and getting it to work (which took a couple reboots and I think being in range of both WiFi and 3g) I added it to 3g Unrestrictor. It was called MobilePhone (facetime)

Danny Thomson - November 10, 2010 at 7:53pm

Thanks Dan, I had to search for Mobile Phone in 3G Unr. Thats why I didnt find it the first time. It works now. Much Appreciated!

bud - November 8, 2010 at 7:43pm

the camera is upside down. can you fix that ?

Joe - November 8, 2010 at 2:56pm

Watch for this app people. I installed this app and my iphone stop working. Is a VIRUS and won't let you reboot or restart your iphone. once again becareful

vdesai - November 8, 2010 at 12:23pm

u should change the title to how to enable facetime and HDR photos cause after installing this HDR option started showing up in my camera app and i can turn it on and off. which it didn't before with the tweak that already exists

Gio - November 8, 2010 at 12:10pm

cannot install the app... Note: The requested modifications cannot be applied due to required dependencies or conflicts that cannot be automatically fixed.
