Last 2-3 days Jio speeds have become pathetic for me in Andheri to Bandra belt at least. Both JioFi and on handset the speeds are below 1Mbps. That's worse than even RCOM 3G/4G. Idea/Voda 4G speeds are all above 20Mbps. Maybe it is because of 1.6 Cr free subscribers but Jio needs to do something like cap the data use or something as this is not going to work out. Earlier, i used to get 40Mbps and above speeds. At least 10-20 Mbps should be minimum for 4G.

Bought the JioFi2 3 days back and got multiple SMS's since today morning that verification is done and sim is activated with unlimited offer etc. But I still keep getting "invalid sim network locked" message every time I login to the web interface The sim LED/icon shows RED for few seconds then shuts off. If i press power button once then it lights up red again (along with wifi icon which lights up as WHITE). Any idea what i should do now ?

OK, so I got the Jio SIM by generating the code with linked APK using a Sprint Galaxy S6 but obviously the LTE bands are different so SIM doesn't work on that handset. Put sim in a different S6 and activated by calling 1977. Now I can use it in iphone and other 4G handsets and it shows 20-30 Mbps data speed. Only problem is that it shows 2GB data balance (and 100min calls or such) so i tried many times to run my Jio apps on the sprint S6 while connected to hotspot of iphone 6 with Jio SIM and was able to create jio login/pass and then after many tries at one point i was able to click "avail this offer". But the balance still shows 2GB. Any way to get it show unlimited (or 75GB) data balance etc. ??

Above process works fine, managed to get the Jio Sim Coupon Code. Thanks Vikrant. Used Samsung Galaxy S6 Sprint for the above. Plan to use it on iPhone 6 or Moto G3 as I don't think sprint S6 supports Jio LTE bands.

Offtopic but, anyone has any idea how to stop this on Samsung Galaxy S6 Sprint ?

Getting around 40-50Mbps with Airtel 4G in Bandra to Andheri, Mumbai. However, one irritating problem is that if a call comes in or I make a call, it switches to 3G and then doesn't go back to 4G for quite some time. (at least on iPhone 6). I have to reset radio to get back to 4G quickly. Are others facing this issue too ? or is it specific to iPhone 6.

If even RCOM customers are going to get 4G by Jan 2016 then it will be great ! I got one RGSM number ported to Airtel just to try out their 4G speeds and it's quite good. Around 45 Mbps on iphone6 and 35 Mbps on laptop x220 Only problem is that if a call/sms comes then it switches to 3G and goes back to 4G only after some time and occasionally I have to do a radio switch off-on to get it back to 4G. Though this problem may be there for Jio also but probably the switching logic in handsets will get improved soon.

^ found this website which seems good to check any phone vs network compatibility: http://willmyphonework.net/ It says SM-G920P will not work with airtel 4G but iPhone 6 (A1586) will work.

I have got an Airtel 4G connection and trying to use it on Samsung Galaxy S6 (sprint - SM-G920P) but it never shows 4G - I have tried selecting GSM / UMTS OR LTE / CDMA OR Automatic. Have checked that SIM is 4G capable and 4G service is on. Also added APN (airtelgprs.com and proxy IP and port) as found on the net for airtel 4G, but I only get 3G. Any Gurus care to explain if this model (SM-G920P) will work with airtel 4G ? I also tried with iPhone 6 (A1586) and selected LTE OR 3G but no 4G icon. Neither are the data speeds very good - around 3-4 mbps on S6 & ip6. As per the internet, this model (A1586) should work with Airtel 4G.

Wow ! Good

Do you have any invite left ?

I have bought an item from amazon.com (US) and given the New York address of shopandship for my account. This is the first time I have used shopandship so I want to know if I need to inform shopandship about the order or do i wait till it shows up on the website ?

I am unable to receive bank SMS / OTP etc on Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 with GSM SIM (Vodafone / Reliance). I have tried the various SMS apps (like 8sms, gosms, easysms) etc and switching between hangouts and native sms messages app. Any Gurus have any ideas how to fix this ?

Wow ! Brilliant copy. How did you find out that its not genuine ? From the OS details or some other give away ?

Rev B won't work on M7. It works fine on M8 How does one check if Rev B is working on HTC One M8 (sprint) ? I am in mumbai and Rev B is working on my Reliance Pro 3 Dongle.

I sent my address through pm. Can I have them. Sent to Guru Gopal.

I have 2 iphone 6+ screen guards of very good quality. I had ordered them by mistake, in place of iphone 6 screen guards. If anyone needs it please PM your address.

Wow Guru Gopal Ji, 90 Mbps 5ms ping ! That's definitely top of the chart. It says Beam Telecom - can you tell about the plan charges ?

My HTC One M8 (sprint) allows only 1 connection to the HotSpot when its on GSM/3G. It gives a message "only 1 connection is allowed when roaming on a GSM network" There's no issue when it's on CDMA/EVDO. Any one has any idea on how to fix this ?

Any HTC gurus have any idea how to turn off the "handsfree activation" which starts off whenever I reboot the phone ? It keeps trying for half an hour. Am on sprint HTC One M8 using CDMA sim and I can press home button to send the activation dialogue to background but it keeps popping up every few minutes. Another query : when I put in GSM sim where do I select between CDMA / GSM ? There's no menu for mobile network in it.

Anyone can guide me on how to enable OMH RUIM on Sprint HTC One M7 ? Its already working with GSM SIM. I am planing to buy this handset for use on CDMA as 3G coverage has detoriated near my Home & Office both. So I just want to be sure EVDO, SMS, Calls will work fine and I won't loose CDMA settings on every update etc. Any help would be welcome..

Might be a little offtopic, but: Where can I buy Reliance OMH RUIM ? Will EVDO work with OMH RUIM on imported Note 4 (N910P) work on it ? (Seller of Note 4 on ebay claims it will work)

^ on top of that when I checked the recharge pack rates today they have a special note for Rev B with lower data caps than for Rev A dongles ! So what was Rs 999 truly unlimited (40 GB) when I bought the Pro3 dongle is now 18 Gb while for Rev A dongles it is 24 Gb or something. Its senseless if data rates change so much every month (40 to 18 is huge, rate has increased more than double) Probably makes sense to list the data packs on BSE/NSE - then we can 'accumulate' during drops and 'book profits' during highs.

Though I don't use a One+One, I just came acroos the Bacon Root Toolkit - made by the same guy who does Nexus Root Toolkit or NRT - excellent all inclusive tool (not just for rooting) http://www.wugfresh.com/brt/

I was also on the verge of buying Chromecast but got confused with all reviews on the net mentioning that it needs a good speed active internet connection throughout the streaming, and not just to initiate the connection. I was under the impression that media will be streamed over local wifi network without using up internet bandwidth. Maybe someone who has a chromecast dongle can enlighten us.. All the cheap chinese chromecast clones do the streaming locally.
