Hi all,
I haven't seen anyone mention one of the more hyped selling points of the TP2 - the Conference Call feature. Does it work? And more importantly, does it work on your network?
The reason I ask is I am on T-Mobile UK with my Kaiser (and my TP2 when it arrives tomorrow) and I cannot conference two calls together - when I press the conference button, it says "The operation failed". A little research on Google seems to suggest that T-Mo UK are probably the only operator globally who have this functionality disabled.
Will this mean that if the TP2 is ever released through T-Mo retail that it will have this function disabled? Is that why it has been delayed - they are upgrading their network to cope with conference calling?
I'd be interested to know, especially if anyone has already got one on T-Mo UK.
Cheers
Im not sure about T-Mo
However, the option you need is Call Waiting & Call Conferancing; this option usually need to be activated with your telco under VAS (Value Added Service); some may charge to have this function activated
the best you call T Mobile and ask specifically about this function
As I feared, T-Mobile UK don't support conference calling so that feature doesn't work. I phoned CS yesterday to ask, and all I got was "it may be supported in the future".
Actually I found my TyTn II did this yesterday. I put a call on hold and saw an exciting 'conference button' in the Opal dialer. Pushed it and I got some message about not being supported.
I'm on Orange.
UK o2 = No no no.
Pretty pointless feature when the network doesn't support it, I don' think many uk networks do, they have their own conference facitlity. (232 on o2 I think)
T-mobile (ben) Netherlands: Yes, totally works. did it with my old hermes 2 months ago
Vodafone in the Netherlands supports the conference call facility.
A question I have in relation to this subject: does anyone know whether it is possible to have incoming phone calls join in a conference call? Example: I have a call with A on the TP2 and B calls me on the TP2 during that call with A. Can I organize that B will join the same call? If so, how? Is there any maximum of calls that one can have in such a conference call?
Cheers, dela
Telus in Canada does NOT support the feature. BOOOO!
It works on Vodafone Portugal
Vodafone in NZ supports this but only for account customers and by default it's turned off but can be turned on request for free of cost.

Yes, you can pick up the incoming phone call and join in a conference call you started (works well with Orange & unbranded TP2).

Your device already has Conference Call capability.
Using Conference Call is a network dependent feature. So, based on what your operator allows you (your phone subscription/plan) - you will be able to use it or not.
BTW, Conf call works great on Orange ...
Hope it helps.
Movistar in Mexico supports it, even on Prepaid, and for free (you just have to pay for both calls)
All Israeli operators (Orange, Cellcom & Pelefone) supports this feature
Mine worked twice on att then stopped, Any ideas why? I used it right when I got the phone then about 2 1/2 weeks ago and it worked great, now when I try I get two people on hold and the other call doesnt come through, and when I try to take the two peopl off hold is says it cant take the call off hold. Do you guys think this is a carrier issue like att not wanting me to use it or a phone/hardware issue?
Works with Vodafone UK
The Conference feature (aka Multiparty) requires a flag in your number's profile in HLR called "MPTY" activated. without that activated, you cannot make a conference call. contact your operator for this.

Actually my operator also have this service, but it wasn't activated in my number. Now it is... but it seems that the other numbers that you are making the conference also need to have this service activated, otherwise it won't work.

I have an MDA C3. When web & walk is transferring internet Data and a call comes in, the phone does not ring. It goes directly to the voicemail.
T-Mobile customer service tell me that this is correct as you can either transfer internet data or make a call.
Is that right? I thought that was with WAP which is analagous to dial-up. Surely GPRS is analagous to Broadband.
Anyone else want to try this:
Go to Web & walk home page. Attempt loading up the guardian page (This will take a while). Whilst this is loading, call your phone number and see if it rings or goes direct to VM.
I spend lots of time browsing so I must be losing lots of calls!
Feedback greatly appreciated.
From what I have heard only UMTS devices can support simultaneous voice/data.
Yes - but not GRPS that uses GSM band instead of UMTS.
However, some devices have troubles keeping the data link active when a call comes in.
I am having the same issue (also on T-Mobile UK).
Then IE is running or AS is downloading my mail (I use direct push) all my calls go straight to voicemail.
This is worrying as I just moved over to T-Mobile for the web n walk package to allow me to have instant e-mails. This is a pain if it means I miss calls whilst my mail is downloading.
You'd think that the chances of the 2 coinciding are slim (I don't get a lot of mail, maybe 10 per day) but the wife has already complained 3 times since Friday that she went straight to voicemail, and each time it was exactly as i got a new mail.
Is this a limit of GPRS, the Orbit or just T-Mobile?
Thanks

I was surprised too... Thats why I posted the query. I thought my phone and/or SIm were faulty. But T-Mobile tell me thats how its supposed to work.
With W&W and Email, Its really hard for someone to get through with a voice call. It was worrying for me as I tend to browse the net whenever I am waiting around. This means that when I am on the bus surfing, no one can get through to me!!
Surely if there is a limitation, then the phone should give precendence to the Voice call. After all, you can pick up your emails or surfing where you left off.
I would really be interested to see if this is a T-Mobile only problem.
No itschase is spot on.
It's not a t-Mobile problem, it's the same for any GSM based network.
Only 3g (UMTS) phones can do data and voice at the same time. No matter what network you are on.
I have just run an experiment in the office as follows:-
Me (artemis with v3 black and blue) - Voicemail when data active
person 1 (MDA compact III - v3 black and blue) - Voicemail when active
person 2 (hermes) - no Voicemail when active.
We are all on t-mobile UK, and therefore it doesn't look like a network issue, but maybe a ROM problem?

What problem? Everything is working as it supposed to. If it's so important to you. Go buy a 3g phone!
I now fully appreciate that 3g phones are the only ones to support this type of behaviour.
I was trying to be helpful and post the results of my test as at that point I didn't realise that only 3g phones worked as such. I was lead to believe this by wikipedia:-
"Class B
Can be connected to GPRS service and GSM service (voice, SMS), but using only one or the other at a given time. During GSM service (voice call or SMS), GPRS service is suspended, and then resumed automatically after the GSM service (voice call or SMS) has concluded. Most GPRS mobile devices are Class B. "
Obviously this is not the case.

I incorrectly assumed that whilst browsing, if a voice call comes in, the phone would give priority to the call.
If I had known what I know now at the time I signed my 18M contract I would have bought a 3g Phone! Its just annoying that i'm stuck with it for another 12M. T-Mobile push the fact that they have set the internet free... but what they fail to get across to everyday users is that its "AT THE EXPENSE OF THE VOICE CALLS"
Because T-Mobile forced you to buy one of their 2.5g phones rather than one of their 3g phones?
I have no problem receiving phone calls while browsing the internet on the P3300.

Neither have I to be honest, the issue only arises while you are actively downloading data. However once the website has loaded, you are free to accept calls again whilst still looking at the site in the browser.

As a test I started downloading a dummy 32MB testfile on my P3300 (from speedtest.bbned.nl) and I called my mobile with another phone.
There was no problem; I received the call while downloading the file.
Maybe it depends on the operator? I am in Holland on T-Mobile

Hi,
It's not enough to have a class A (2G) device, but also DTM (Dual Transfer Mode/Simple Class A) support has to be active in the specific network, otherwise only 3G device on 3G network will provide Class A (simultaneous voice & data).
In fact, there are quite many models from Nokia during last year that support DTM, but as already mentioned, it's not enough.
FYI,
Zohar

Is that an EDGE network ?
I got the Artemis with PV Black&Blue v3 ROM.
I can receive calls while pages are loading in IE.
I think this is a provider problem.
The phone provider has to intercept your GPRS connection and establish the GSM connection. Maybe T-Mobile just rejects calls while a GPRS connection/transfer is active.
A1 intercepts the page download and my call comes in.
When I pick up, the GPRS connection is closed completely. (not just pending)
So receiving calls while surfing is no problem for me with Austrian A1 provider.
Any other experiences?

Maybe it's me or my network operator, but i can't get videocalls to work.
Pushing the videocall button gives me the screen with two cameraviews. It starts dialing and then i can see the phone icon go from 3g to H
But then it quickly say's : "Failed to make videocall"
Any suggestions? (been searching this forum and many others without answers)

Of course it doesn't work with your phones. Neither the 8525 or Tilt have the forward facing camera, and the AT&T network doesn't support it.

More info is needed.
Which hermes rebadge do you have?
Who is your cell phone carrier?
Does your icon go back to 3g, or does it stay at H?
Better call your mobile operator for the instructions to set the problem.

Why does it not work with Orange then? Surely one operator must allow Video Calling?
Same error..."Failed to make video call"
"Failed to make video call" means : Your operator must to allow video calling for your sim card (extra payment).

On the blow-err now 2 Orange....usual green sleaves......will let you know
)
Just to add my tuppence (two cents for our American friends):
I did a video call about 18 months ago, when I first got my Hermes. Then I tried again a few weeks ago and got "Failed to make video call" as soon as the dialer screen had finished coming up. It was way too quick for the network to have tried to connect the call, and I knew I had Video Calling on my account (from the one 18 months ago, hadn't made any changes since).
I spent three days recooking ROM's, trying out different ones and even trying a standard build (that was a culture shock, it's been so long!) but EVERY ONE had the same error message.
Finally, I tried my SIM in my wife's phone, and the same thing happened on her Sony Ericsson, so I called T-Mobile. Yup, they'd somehow lost my video calling on my account! I asked for it back, she put a tick in the "yes" box on her screen and I was able to make a video call as soon as I'd finished on the phone to her.
Moral of the story is to call your network to see if it's activated on your account. Even if you're sure it is, call them to check rather than waste 3 days as I did!!
thank you all for your input.
i've a hermes with two camera's. can't be the problem
i've tried om a dozen wm5 and wm6 rom's including shipped ones
i've asked friends with hermes phones as well, they don't succeed as well
but the simcard switching, network operator thing might be the one, i'll try that.
weird it is. an operator can make a lot of money on my phoneuse when making videocalls. why shut it down?
Hi
I have bought a unlocked nexus for reliance cdma in India. The phone works just fine but i cannot do a conference call! Merge Calls does nothing! How can i reactivate this feature? As i understand it, it is pressing a sequence of numbers that makes no sense on the reliance network but used to work on the sprint network. Am i right? And yes, conferencing is already enabled with reliance. According to them, its a inbuilt feature of the phone, supposedly.
Regards,
Xyan
Does this work?
http://www.ehow.com/how_7402429_activate-call-conference-reliance-cdma.html
(I don't know - I'm not on Reliance, so can't test)
That was the first thing I tried after the merge call didn't work. Thanks anyway
No conference call on nexus - Reliance CDMA
Any Luck with the call conferencing ? im facing the same problem
Hey,
So I bought an LG G4 from Vodafone UK and unlocked it so i could use my Three sim card.
Weird thing is I can use Mobile Data and send/receive SMS if I am on 4G. The person who is calling me can hear the calling tone as if they were calling someone but I don't actually receive the call.
When I switch to 2G/3G it simply does not connect to the network.
I have done a factory reset and it did not fix the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks
tl;dr : can't send/receive calls but can use data and send/receive sms (through 4G only)

Maybe you need to register your IMEI on the network? That's what I had to for At&t.
How would you go about doing that? Apart from manually searching for networks (I can see other carriers like O2, vodafone, EE, but I can't see my carrier Three ; the person living in the flat with me is on Three as well and they have no problem, so it's not a coverage issue. I have bought the phone from vodafone, unlocked it and trying to use it with Three).
Do I have to call Three for this IMEI registration or..?
Thanks

Best bet will be calling your service prover and have them register it. I had to call At&t and have them register my IMEI since I couldn't use internet or make calls.
Just had a long chat over the phone with them and in the end he said the 'engineers' found a 'problem' on their end and it should be fixed in @5 days. He didn't want to mention what problem or how / why it happened. Oh well fingers crossed.
Thanks!
update : so after about 4 calls with customer service (across 3 weeks) and 2 trips to the 'Three' store i'm basically stuck and would need your help guys.
backstory : I've contacted them once at the start of January and they said they found the issue and they will fix it by 7th of January which didn't Happen. On 7th of January they said they are sorry and it will be fixed by 14th of January which didn't happen either. After that I received a message that the problem was fixed and if i had any other issues I should contact them, which I did because the problem was not solved. Yesterday I went to the shop again and the 'tech' guy told me that it should be working and he gave me a new sim card just to be sure, and if that didn't work he said call customer support and ask for contract cancellation. Today I got called by customer service and I have told them that it still doesn't work and I'm paying for something I can't use and I've been told to request contract cancellation which they didn't believe and said I have to pay the rest of the contract length in order to cancel, which is absurd. I went again to the shop and the new customer service person that was assigned to me said they don't have any tech people and she seemed she didn't believe when i said i talked to one the day before. She tested the sim on their phones and it worked and also she took my phone "in the back (strange cause she said they don't have any tech)" and said I had my phone set to 2G (which I didn't, it was set to 2G/3G) and that that was the problem. strangely, for that split moment i had one bar for 3g and the call went through. Straight after that phone stopped working (it was just that small area in which it worked). I told her that that's not the problem and she's like "welp you didn't make your contract at the store, you made it online so I can't help you , you have to call customer service". So I'm basically stuck with a contract which I can't use and I have no idea what to do.
problem : I cannot register to the Three network (only in small random areas, few of them) but I have no problems with other SIM cards from other Carriers (Orange, EE, Vodafone, O2). I have bought the phone from vodafone and unlocked it and last time customer service told me they can't give support to phones that were not bought from their store. So I'm stuck here with a phone contract which I can not use to make or receive calls, but I can use the mobile data and send receive texts. I am considering rooting it and puting a custom ROM , although I'm not sure if that would fix the problems (maybe issues with certain bandwiths?.
Any help or ideas much appreciated!
Same problem here
Hi all. Same problem here but different issue.
Origin : G4 buy used on November. IMEI fully working and not blacklisted (calling my french phone provider this morning, it tell me that's IMEI is ok and phone not stollen and it try to repair remotly my carrier but didn't work)
Problem : Fully working since i picked up a call and answer ... and then when the call is finish i tried to call someone 10 minutes after and totally loose signal(connection) (Orange/Sosh)
What i've maid before : Playing a lot @ a boring but adictive game. High temperature since 3 days because i play a lot but temperature decrease when i stop playing.
I've used a legal app to record a patern and make some actions without my intervention (RepetiTouch Free (root)) to make races in the game.
That's all ! No drop, no hit, nothing ! Just playing, having a call, hang off and then want to make an other call and nothing.
Since the last 6 hours : Signal ok - Data ok (can go on internet / GAPPS etc..) - CAN receive and send SMS (i've don't trie MMS) !!! but .... can't receive and can't send any call.
I was on Genesys 3.5 and i've update to 3.7 when i see the problem, believing that's it will fixe the issue but ... no ....
Formating and going to stock ROM but with root SU etc..... Can't receive and send call too ....
I'm going to back to stock with KDZ .... but i really believe that's it will not work .....
AND .... to finish and kill my joy .... i've unlock bootloader with LG tools since 2 month .....so my phone is no longer under warranty.
My SIM card work on others phones ... other sim cards didn't work in my phone ....
If anyone have this issue ... please tell us
Sorry bro cant help you here. Never heard of that problem before but my idea is that you should refund that phone back to Vodafone UK.
Hello, I have two sims one UK and one from another country, when someone calls me and I am already having conversation on UK sim, I keep being informed that someone else is trying to call me so everything is good, but when I am on call on another there is no notification and the other person just gets disconnected after 3-5 seconds. When I have both sims from my current country it all works perfectly. I have been in contact with my foreign service provider and I have call waiting being set up on the sim and it works fine when I am abroad, does anybody have similar issue? I have looked through forum but couldn't find any clues or workarounds in this matter. I am on CM13 at the moment.
