Activate FaceTime on iPhone 4 in Middle East with MiddleWhat

In case you are unlucky and you can't get FaceTime in your country as in the Middle East because Apple for some reason disabled it, you can try MiddleWhat tweak that is available for jailbroken devices for free. This tweak will activate FaceTime on iPhone 4 in any unsupported countries. 
For iPhone 4 only.

This package enables FaceTime if (and only if) it is disabled solely due to region restrictions. This will NOT enable FaceTime for any other reason. it is only usable on iPhone 4. It does NOT have any visible output, icons, or configurable options. It can be cleanly uninstalled.
MiddleWhat is available in Cydia via BigBoss repository for free but you need a jailbroken device so you can follow our step by step guide posted here to jailbreak your iPhone using Limera1n. Once your iPhone 4 is jailbroken, navigate to Cydia and search for MiddleWhat under Bigboss repository.

iSeeU Brings FaceTime Video Calls to iPhone 3GS

Yes, you read it right! Apple provided the iPhone 4 with front face camera to allow video calling with other devices. Also, there's an endless list of apps that allows you to make video calls with some features on iPhone 4, the apps are also compatible with iPhone 3GS but it's very silly to make video calls without front camera.
Guess what? You can make FaceTime-like video calls on iPhone 3GS with a simple accessory provided by Korean company PLAYMASS. The idea is simple, it's about mounting a mirror on your cell phone, and you’ll be able to convert your back camera to rear-facing camera. Check out the charming video below for a quick demo:
The accessory is available on the official site for $24.95, they will be shipping this accessory later this month. Will you get it and cancel the idea of updating to iPhone 4? [via TiPb]

FaceTime Call on 55" Screen, It's Really AWESOME [Video]

Guys over iSpazio wanted to give us something special, they made a FaceTime video call on a 55" TV screen. The tweak used to allows you to see everything that happens on our iPhone directly into the TV screen is "DisplayOut" which is available in Cydia via BigBoss repo for $1.99, but you have to use VGA cable to connect your iPhone and your TV together.
I was really surprised while watching the video so I decided to post this video to share it with my users. Although it's kind of expensive and impractical, it's very nice and exciting. By the way, while watching the video, don't listen to them, they are talking Italian ;)

New iPod Touch Includes Component to Vibrate

The changes introduced by Apple in new iPod Touch are so many . One of these is the addition of a component for the device to vibrate , just like the iPhone. The function may have been designed primarily for the deaf, using it as a warning when there is an incoming call by FaceTime . The video call to Apple is a perfect way to have a conversation using sign language.
We have no information whether this feature can be used in applications but it's likely that developers can do . Another change concerns the absence of the plastic was placed back where the Wi-Fi antenna . It will be interesting to see how Apple will manage to ensure a strong signal in an insulated frame.

How to: Activate FaceTime on Unlocked iPhone 4 (UnOfficial Carriers) with MiTime

MiTime has been Released to Fix / Activate FaceTime on any unofficial supported carriers on the unlocked iPhone 4 as T-Mobile US. It works by sending two SMS messages to activate, therefore it can't be free as it costs the developer of the app to fix your devices. So you have to purchase MiTime for $5.99 to fix FaceTime on unofficial carriers.
If you has already jailbroken your iPhone 4 using JailbreakMe and unlocked using Ultrasn0w 1.0-1, you will probably face this problem! So, the developer of PushFix has developed this app to help you to fix and activate FaceTime on any carrier. Follow the instructions below to activate FaceTime on unlocked iPhone 4,

Steps: 
Step 1: If you are outside the US, check your phone # in Settings -> Phone. Your phone number must be correct and should have the + symbol at the front of it. You should NOT continue unless your phone # is exactly the one that you entered on the purchase page of MiTime.info

Step 2: Install MiTime from my repo (http://cydia.pushfix.info) via Cydia

Step 3: Run MiTime and verify you are authorized – If your phone # matches, you will be.

Step 4: See below and compare to what you have on the screen:
If it says “Ready for activation” and has an “Activate” button, you are ready to use a credit to activate.

If it does NOT say “Ready for activation”, leave it at the this screen until it resets FaceTime® and re-springs (2 minutes). After re-spring, unlock the phone and within one minute it should warn you about costs – IMPORTANT–>click OK. If it doesn’t warn you or does not reset, see the troubleshooting tips below.

If it says “Activated” you can stop here. It will back up your FaceTime® activation for later recovery.
Step 5: If you are ready, tap the Activate button and follow the prompts. Only send one activation request and wait for up to 15 minutes. It should only take 1 minute, but don’t waste your activation credits. If it doesn’t activate after 15 minutes, eject and re-insert your SIM. Wait 1 minute and then reboot.

Step 6: If it says the request was sent, stay on this screen. Within 1 minute usually, you will see it change to Activated.

Step 7: You are done. Once it shows Activated, it has saved your token and FaceTime® is fully enabled.

Step 8: The app can be used to fix almost any FaceTime® problem in the future just by running it.

Notes after installation.
- If you turn off FaceTime® or it gets turned off somehow, don’t turn it on in Settings -> Phone. Run the MiTime app and it will fix it and turn it back on.

- If you ever see the warning message about costs again, tap Cancel and run MiTime to see what is going on.

Here's video in action!
