I need JioFi2 to connect to my Desktop PC / Laptop 24x7 via USB teethering. my Queries: 1. Is the JioFi2 Battery Removable? 2. Does the device work Without Battery when connected to Desktop PC / Laptop [drawing power from USB Port]? 3. Can I Disable WiFi in JioFi2? 4. Is WPA2-PSK Personal security for WiFi access supported? 5. Is MAC-Filtering for WiFi access available in JioFi2? thanks & regards

SMS START to 1925 to start Data Services. After you receive confirmation Msg., Recharge with suitable 4G Data-pack applicable to your circle best wishes

If RCom 3G/2G at your location is not available, mobile will switch over automatically to Roaming Partner Network [Aircel / Tata Docomo] even in your Home-circle [Mumbai] and the Signal bar will show "R". However, At Home-circle you should not be billed for Roaming, with RCom you never know! best wishes.

since you mentioned, "Don't know if any utility exists........" I had to respond with details of MTK Engineer mode. However, nice to hear that, you are familiar with MTK Engineer mode and using the same. I believe this forum is for people who want to discuss & update technical possibilities. it is agreed that majority of the users are ignorant of the default features available on the gadgets they purchase. thanks & regards

I am a layman & not at all an advanced user! To access MTK Engineer mode you do not need to install any App or connect to PC, just Enter *#*#3646633#*#* in the Dial pad - select Band - Enable Band 5 [850 MHz] & Keep other bands disabled under LTE Bands and you are done. it is as simple as switching on/off your mobile handset! best wishes

Mobile handset with MediaTek chipset supports LTE Band Locking via MTK Engineer mode [Service mode]. RJio Lyf Flame 2 supports MTK Engineer mode. To access MTK Enginer mode - Enter *#*#3646633#*#* in the Dial pad. I believe, if one locks handset to LTE Band 5 [850MHz], CDMA like Good coverage & Data at reasonable speed is assured on RJio However, I am still searching for LTE Band lock solution for Qualcomm-chipset best wishes

RCom is in financial-mess and running business on day-to-day basis which is clearly reflected by it's recent "loot" on faithful CDMA customers!

RCom4G will not have VoLTE support unless the Big Brother [Mukesh-bhai] buys out RCom of Anil-bhai! VoLTE is the differentiator between RJio4G & RCom4G

Unlike RJio4G, RCom4G doesn't have VoLTE support and for Voice-calls & SMS it will be 2G/3G Circuit-Switched-Fall-Back [CSFB]. If RCom 2G/3G Network at your location is pathetic, Pls. Port-out to Network of your choice before 16-Aug-2016. However, you may use RCom4G for Data only! best wishes

Ref: http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/personal/4G/ [Karnataka Circle]: For Prepaid & Postpaid Data, Only "*Note: Charges after Plan benifits is 0.5P / 10KB" appears. However, for Prepaid & Postpaid Voice - Plans are listed. Typical RCom inefficiency!

For Lyf Flame 2 [Mediatek chipset], Enter <*#*#3646633#*#*> in the Dial pad to get in to Engineer-mode & lock handset to Band 5 [850 MHz]. However, for Lyf Wind4 [Qualcomm Snapdragon] I tried Shortcut Master (Lite) but could not find any option to lock handset to LTE Band5. any solution, Pls. post.

How to get in to Engineer-mode [Service-mode] to lock handset to LTE Band 5 [850 MHz] in Reliance Lyf Wind 4?

No, your SIM is not yet active! it only means your CAF has been received and order is generated. As and when you see Signal-bars [Tower] on your mobile screen, do Tele-verification by calling 1977 and your services will be activated. best wishes

Keep the Preferred Network type to 2G only, Manually search for available Networks. it should register with Aircel / Tata Docomo. if not, repeat Manual-search and it will register. I understand that, RCom Roaming-partners in Bangalore (Karnataka) allows only 2G connection [Voice/SMS only], No 3G/4G! best wishes

Karnataka circle CDMA EVDO on Netconnect+ dongle started working from today. However, it is not working on 1X & Hybrid-modes. I am on Lifetime 1GB per month Prepaid plan and happy that my dongle started working! regards

If it is only for WiFi-hotspot / USB-teethering, Lyf Flame2 at Rs.3,499/- could be a better option. however, in Flame2 SIM1 is Normal SIM [Mini] & SIM2 is Micro. best wishes

Yes, Manual search will show all Network, but to Register on a particular network - handset should support the Band. Example: to register on Reliance 4G, your handset should support LTE 850 MHz [Band 5]. best wishes

Pls. don't ever Port your Primary number to RJio, it is good for Data only with casual voice & SMS support

SMS keyword: MBAL to 55333 returns with 10239.93MB [10GB] 2G Data valid till 10-08-2016, thanks. regards

yes, you may Pls. check at http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/aboutus/news/4G-notice.html best wishes

Karnataka circle update Ref.: Reliance InstaCare App/My Accounts/My Balance Balance Name: Main Balance: Rs.26/-; Exp Date: 20-07-2021 [carried forward from RCDMA] Balance Name: Promo Call Min - 2Hr. 30Min; Exp Date: 10-08-2016 Balance Name: R2R Call Min - 720Hr; Exp Date: 10-08-2016 All other Balance: 0; Exp Date: 10-08-2016 Note: Yesterday 2G Data Balance was 10GB. Today 2G Data field has disappeared instead 3G Data Balance field appeared as 0; Exp Date: 10-08-2016. However, RCom doesn't have 3G in Karnataka! in "My Plan", "Failure, invalid MDN" appears! However, I am able Call & SMS without any problem. in "My Packs", SMS Pack 14 is displayed as "Active Pack" with validity 29 days. I presumed it to be a Carry-forward from RCDMA & sent few SMS. however, i was charged Rs.1/- per SMS Totally confused, RIM Gurus Pls. comment thanks & regards

yes, RJio can't be your primary number at it's present state. however, it is good for data & casual voice and SMS support. when you compare, RJio4G & RCom4G i believe RJio is the winner

As per Public Notice on RCom web site, I understand 16-Aug-2016 is last date to generate UPC (Port code). however, with RCom you can't take any chances. better to generate UPC - 1 week in advance, viz. before 10-Aug-2016

in my case, upon RCDMA-RGSM migration - immediate credit of 1GB 2G Data [1024MB] with 30 days validity. after 2 days, I sent SMS keyword: Start to 1925 and the 2G Data balance became 10GB with 30 days validity! unfortunately, RCom4G is not Live at location. so when 4G is Live, my 10GB Data validity might have expired! Pls. exercise caution, unless you are sure that 4G is live at your location, don't send the SMS! best wishes

most of the RCDMA users need to buy GSM handset to use RCom 4G/3G/2G OR any other operator Network. buy Dual-SIM handset (4G/3G/2G, if 4G - ensure it supports all the bands) if your RCDMA MDN is Primary, don't think - just Port-out to any operator of your choice before 16-Aug-2016 (Karnataka circle) if your RCDMA MDN is secondary (EVDO/1X data use), then you may "dump" the same & buy Lyf Flame 2 for Rs.3,499/- with RJio unlimited voice, data & SMS for 3 months. all Lyf phones are Dual SIM and support WiFi & USB teethering. After 3 months, when RJio is commercially launched, there will be "Loyalty-bonus cum Buy-back offer" for your Lyf phone Rjio is anytime better than RCom4G [doesn't have VoLTE and depends on Circuit Switch Fallback to pathetic 2G/3G for voice & SMS] best wishes
