T-Mo TP2 Limited to only 2 people in a conference room

The T-Mobile USA version of the Touch Pro 2 is limited to only adding 2 people to a conference room for a conference call. The unlocked version seems to support many more than that. I'm pretty sure this is not a limitation of the T-Mobile network since in 2002 I was able to conference 6 people using the GSM/GPRS Expansion Pack on an iPAQ H3600.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a registry hack to allow more than 2 people in a conference room on the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2?

Alright, I think I found it.
In: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE
there's "MaxConferenceSize"
By default it's set to 2, but I just changed it to 6. I can't really test it right now, but after soft resetting, I can select plenty more than 2 people for a conference call.

You hacker! I'm jealous, I want the touchpro2. Thanks for the info, it might come in handy when I eventually get it.

To me, it doesn't matter either way. I was disappointed with the conference room feature. Of course, I was expecting for it to automatically call ALL participants and connect them at the same time, but still, any improvement on having to say, "hold on, I need to look up this contact, call them, and then join them on" is good.

great job adamz!
totally works and tested. i set it to 6... fyi, 6 means 5 additional people (you are the 6th)
i kinda wanna set it to 10! heh.

Unfortunately GSM and UMTS weren't designed to work like that. No phone can do that.

i am a noob "is there a how to" so i can change it also

I can add conference members but it wont dial out to them. Has someone actually been able to SPEAK to more than 2 people at a time?

tmobile doesnt allow more people. att recently increased their conference calling size to match the touch pro 2's conference feature. its funny cause the iphone still cant do it.

What is the TP2's conference feature limits? What did ATT raise it to?

i know i used to be able to talk to 6 people at once on T-Mobile about ... 6 years ago... when did they change it ? All this time i thought it was my phone that didn't allow more and was finally happy there is a solution . Guess not

tmobile im pretty sure is only you and 2 other people. att used to be that (its what the iphone supports) and they recently changed it (i think just before the tilt2 launch) to you and 5 other people. which is the max for the touch pro 2.

Conference call feature locked to 2 people on tmobile's network!!!

just to give an update on this topic.......... i tried to conduct a conference call on tmobile and i did perform this edit to my phone and did a soft reset. but i was unable to peform more than adding two people. i tried to add a third and phone just blanked out and went back to waiting for me to add another person into the conference. so i called tmobile and asked them if i might have done something wrong in my editing (so i didnt spend the rest of my night picking my registry apart) or if tmobile is **** blocking me.
Well turns out that tmobile wont let us add more than two people into a conference call with our wonderful, illustrious, conference call, flagship phone then the lady went on to say that i can unlock my phone and use it on another carrier some time in the future if i ever change carriers.... HELLO?!!! you working for the other team or WHAT?!?!?! SHE MUST HAVE BEEN HIRED FROM AT&T

Great. So T-Mobile first makes the beautiful stock TP2 fugly, leaves off the 3.5mm headphone jack, then locks down conference calling--one of the phone's best features. Thanks a lot guys.
I guess I shouldn't be too upset with my grandfathered t-zones plan but still...

hey, I like the T-Mobile TP2 design.
Registry hack doesn't defeat network limit. Oh well.

The two person add (3 people total) for conference calling as a T-Mobile network limit shouldn't be a surprise.
Look at the description of conference calling feature for any T-Mo phone that has it and it specifically says "add 2 people" (or similar). I don't know how long it's been like this...but at least a couple of years, maybe more.
So, yeah, it's the network -- and nothing done to tweak the phone will change that.

Hearing caller before answering?

Ok this was a blast from the past for me last night, I remember this happening on my Mogul. My evo was lying on the counter charging, the phone rang and while it was still ringing I could clearly hear the person calling talking to someone else with them before I even picked up the phone to answer it.

Does it still count against your minutes if you don't answer the phone?

I was thinking about if this was possible a couple weeks ago, I don't see why it wouldn't be, just have to activate their mic when they call.

This happened all the time on my touch pro 2 with energy rom glad no one was talking crap before I picked up.

That's actually kind of cool - I wonder if someone can build an app that would do this intentionally.

It's not actually that cool. This happens to me. It's quite annoying when the phone is on silent or vibrate and I'm in a meeting at work and get a call and all of a sudden you can hear people talking. Not good.
I've narrowed this down in my case to it being an issue with receiving calls from the AT&T mobile network. All the calls I've received that do this are from AT&T users or Net 10 users (which are using the AT&T network). No issues with calls from other Sprint users, Verizon, etc. As of now, Sprint hasn't been able to offer a fix.
Anyone else had this problem? Any resolution?
Oh, and I have an Evo. Bought it on launch day from Radio Shack.

I have this problem too, I guess I have to send the phone to RMA. Tried with different ROMS (official), still the same.
Well, I have flashed the 3.14 ROM official WWE and seems the problem is gone now. Check it please and reply .

Note 3 Missing Calls/Delayed Texts

I've searched around but i can't seem to find a solution. My note 3 is missing calls, and not notifying me. When someone calls it rings on their end but my note 3 doesn't seem to be getting the signal, but i get their voice-mail a few seconds later. This is just ridiculous, how can a $700 phone fail to complete the most basic function of a phone.
Now, let me just say that I have excellent coverage in my area, and my previous phone did not have this issue, i'v also tried factory resetting and even exchanged the phone! if anyone else is having this issue, please share.
Again, this is my second note 3! i exchanged the first one for the same issue, but its happening again after the exchange! This is really frustrating.

Yup. I get delayed and duplicate texts (at times) from the sender. Also, 1/4 of my texts don't go through. This is also my second device and I don't see a solution. Sucks when you rely on your cell phone for work.

Even though you have good signal, it still might be a service issue. For about a month, I was having the same issue with my s4. It went away on its own, so I'm assuming it was service related. It also wouldn't hurt to try a new sim card.

I read that some people resolve the issue by changing to WCDMA from the defaulted LTE

I'm with Towle in that it's probably a service issue. For the last three weeks, I've been going back and forth with T-Mobile because suddenly two of my kids can't send texts or get caller ID on their S3s. And when I first received my Note 3, I didn't receive any mobile data for a week. They've had me swap SIMs, rebooted countless times, had the engineers 'reset the rate plan' a few times, and we're still having problems. I'm in the NE Illinois region, if that's any help.

I haven't rooted my SM-N900T yet but I have noticed that (in my case) wifi seems to be related to this issue. When I activate wifi calling or turn wifi off completely I'll get a stream of messages.

I have been having the same problem. Glad to see its not just me but hope we find a fix. I also have a issue keeping LTE although im less than 1/2 mile from a tower. If I toggle wifi I get it back but loose it within a couple of hours and then repeat the process.

Try going into settings, wifi, hit menu, advanced, and uncheck Auto network switch. This will keep it locked to your signal rather than switching back and forth needlessly. This resolved my similar issue. I also unchecked Always allow scanning.

I understand what your saying about the network itself affecting the signal, but this just happened when i switched to the note 3. Everything was fine on my previous phone.
It seems like its happening less frequently now, but i do still miss calls and i have to constantly check my voice mail to check.

I've had the issue with missed calls, but it has mostly happened at my office where it's spotty coverage. Also, the duplicate text issue is super annoying. However the issues are very minimal now on second phone with the new ISIS SIM (comes with phone).

I actually posted about this last week... I thought I was the only one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547762
Here's a copy and paste of that post along with update:
So I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile about 2 months ago...
Ever since I switched, I have been having massive issues.
The first issue happened while on the stock ROM 3 weeks in. For 2 hours, my phone didnt ring or receive any texts. When I made a phone call after those 2 hours, I got a dozen texts in and a few voicemails all in the span of 1 minute. My friends had been trying to call and SMS me for those 2 hours and my phone only received them when I "woke" it up with that phone call.
Then last Friday, I had 3 different people tell me they had SMS'd me and I hadn't received those texts.
Then today, I sent a simple MMS text to about 20 people wishing them happy Thanksgiving. Everyone on T-Mobile got them. On AT&T and Verizon phones, most of my friends got blank texts. I tried to resend it, but they either received a tiny version of the image or another blank text.
On top of ALL this, I am getting duplicate texts from people randomly.
It can't be the phone, as I had to replace it under insurance a week ago (when i accidentally cracked the screen). And it can't be the ROM, as this has happened to me under stock ROM, DarthStalker, and Wicked.
I called T-Mobile and entered a ticket last night about this. This is a HUGE issue. While I love my phone and the fast data speeds, missing SMS (and phone calls) is a game ender.. On the first night I had this happen, I had a date waiting in my lobby for over an hour thinking I stood her up when I didnt respond to her texts. I've gotten in similar trouble with other missing texts.
Update:
So on Friday, I called T-Mobile to tell them about further issues. They told me my ticket had been closed. I immediately told them to re-open the ticket as they hadn't actually fixed anything. On Monday, three of my incoming calls were randomly dropped (with full signal showing on my phone).
Today, I got a call from T-Mobile. He said there had been an issue on Thanksgiving with the network, which is why my MMS didnt go out. But for the dropped calls and missing SMS, after telling him these problems are happening even with WiFi off, he said I should go to the T-Mobile store and have my SIM chip replaced.
This is REALLY frustrating.

The wife and I are having the exact same issue. We both got the note 3 last week. Interesting enough it only happens when wifi is on. I tried with and without wifi calling.

I took off Wifi calling because it seemed like it was causing issues for me with calls/texts. I haven't gotten a duplicate text in a few days now. But I definitely had similar issues to everyone on thread. We definitely are not crazy.

I know right, I called tmobile, they said the usual...but then the issues stoped? Wierd

Unlocked At&t Note 4 having issues on T-mobile network

Hi, I made an account on this after being pointed to this forum. Don't really know too much when it comes to phones so was hoping I can be pointed in the right direction!
I bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 4 earlier this year, it seems to originally have been an At&t phone. The model number is SM-N910A. I have a T-mobile sim in it. It picks up the network but often loses it so my phone quality can get really really bad even though I should be having service. When someone calls sometimes it will come through, but most of the time I just get a voicemail and it doesn't ring at all. It also takes a long time to start a call when I am dialing out.
I took my phone to the T-mobile store because I was hoping it was the sim card, I got a new sim but the issues are still there so it's definitely the phone.
Is there a way to resolve this? I really love the phone otherwise. I can send and receive texts and use the wifi, but having trouble receiving calls and dialing out and call quality. I was linked to these threads https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/help/help-updating-att-branded-note4-tmobile-t3622466 and https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/marshmellow-att-server-link-installation-t3407308 Just want to make sure this is the right step to take or if there's another fix to check out?
Thank you so much!

Galaxy watch LTE not receiving texts on standalone

Not sure why but i cannot receive text messages on my watch when its in standalone mode (LTE) I can send them and make/receive calls but thats it. The watch has its own phone # but i use number share so it uses my cell phone #.

Same thing for me. I do get server originated text like t mobile customer service reviews but nothing from others phones. If I text my own number it works ironically. I have tried 2 different phones one note 9 and one Huawei both reset, reinstalled the app and reset the watch 5 times. Two new digits numbers and canceled the old ones. 4 hours with TMobile support another hour with Samsung and nothing. About to sell it. Used to work untill lat week. Did you resolve this issue?

A few things for anyone having this issue. I did have all settings correct and getting a replacment watch solved the issue but only while using the Remote Connection Toggle in the Wear app. My watch is LTE so this should be working without it toggled.(ie or with the phone completley off) Without it toggled if you text the actual digits number instead of my phones number it works all the time. I am awaiting a tier 2 tmobile Digits tech to resolve this issue. My previous watch wasn't even getting the texts while remotely connected but could do all other functions. I will update this thread after talking to them and then try my old watch to see if it was the watch, TMobile or both. Either way they gave me a free watch so I can't complain about their efforts to resolve this issue regardless of what was at fault.

Were you ever able to fix this? I'm having the same issue. I've sent my watch in to Samsung for repairs and it worked for a couple weeks and then stopped working again. I've been on the phone with T-mobile and they can't help me and multiple people have told me to get a new watch. I just got this watch in March, so it's still under warranty with Samsung, but I am debating on upgrading to the watch4 to try to fix it. I am so frustrated. The whole reason I got this watch in the first place was for the LTE functionality and to not be able to even use it feels like such a waste.

any one got it fixed? I have same issues with my Galaxy watch 4 Classic LTE. I get calls but not messages when entirely distanced the watch from phone
