There might be another device Sherlock used on the roof: an earphone on his left ear. He puts it on when he spins around/freaks out.
When we see Sherlock the first time really close on his right side we can see beehind his left ear. Look at it. There is something small ...
We get to see many earphones/headsets.
I think Sherlock picks the earphone out of the police car right before the daring escape. The earphone is in the car right next to the microphone. Slow down and watch closely. He grabs the mic and the earphone/headset.
When he talks to John he might simultaniously  talk to the crew on the ground through the second phone/ ear phone on his left ear. He has to coordinate the preparations, the "note" and the fall itself.( We are going to need to coordinate!)
Are the writers trolling us: Did nobody notice the earring?

Oh, good eye!  I think you might have found something there.  That might explain the 'hello' some people have heard?
 

The "hello" some people have heard is just John answering the phone, or? There is no other "hello", I was listening and listening again. Can somebody who hears that "hello" tell me whether he/she also hears a "hello" from John? I was always convinced that people might not realize that John answers the phone call of Sherlock. The voice is a little bit estranged because of the microphone. But if there is somebody who hears John AND another "hello" then I think something´s is wrong with my dvd. Or my ears, maybe.

Okay, strange. Can you tell me how much before? I mean, there is John´s Taxi coming and in the same moment we here the dialling of Sherlock´s phone. Then John says: "Hello"...
What happens when the other "hello" is said?

 The "hello" is when he stands on the ledge, right before he starts laughing, and then turns around and says "I've got you!"

Thanks, I must have a go for that again....

"9. The crowd, half of them paramedics, supply the necessaries to stage the death (blood, stretcher, etc.).  Sherlock's rubber ball is under his right armpit, preventing a readable heartbeat from his right wrist.  Fake doctor ensures the right wrist is the one John checks (btw, fake doctor has a stethoscope on him but dresses like that?  And if he was already clocked in at work, where's his lab jacket?). "

buuuuuut doctors don't wear lab coats necessarily in Britain. Also-especially given that Barts does not have an A&E department he might actually have been, I dunno, a dermatologist. Or a midwife.

Or he could just have been freaking incompetant. What if Sherlock said, "listen Molly, when I fall I especially want you to make sure that guy with the multiple negligence suits against him" is sent out.. Oh and tell him to make sure he shakes my shoulder as much as possible.".

Well it would work  :-)

Presumably Moriarty wore a Holmes disguise / mask when he kidnapped the kids midway through the episode.  

Perhaps Holmes got his hands on that mask and placed it on a Molly-provided cadaver, or Moriarty himself.  (Moriarty noted: "We are the same!")

Looks pretty clear that Holmes, in fact, jumped into the truck - which appears to have some kind of padding on the edge of the screen, and the driver of which chooses to drive off with very odd timing - if a guy had just jumped to his death a few feet away....

With the ball trick, you have to squeeze your upper arm against it, in order for the ball to stop your pulse. Sherlock's arm looks pretty limp to me, when John's taking his pulse. I could just be overlooking this, but still

I don´t believe the ball is what we alle are missing, according to Moffat, either.

I personally don't think the ball trick was used. It just seems too...obvious?

So, did you know then something about the ball-under-the-arm-trick before TRF? I for myself can definetely deny that. A red herring only makes sense when the content is well-known. So that everybody (or nearly everybody) stumbles in the trap, or? It makes no sense otherwise, I think. Nobody of my friends had ever heard of that before, maybe that´s funny coincidence, but I doubt that a majority of people are aware of that trick.

The fake doctor is pressing Sherlock´s arm to the ground, short before John is taking the pulse. Why should he do it, if not "activating" the ball?

If the fake doctor just squeezes the arm hard enough he can make the pulse hard to detect anyway.

Really? I have never heard about that, but I´m no expert in these medical things . To me Sherlock´s "magic trick" and the fact, that Houdini once described the ball-trick (or even invented it maybe), sounds very much like the language Moffat and Gatiss speak, it could be another double layer, which is so typical for them.
