Then edit /system/customize/ACC/default.xml change these lines: (if you can edit with an editor that shows line #'s they're lines 191,194,867) <item type="boolean" name="tethering_guard_support">true</item> <item type="integer" name="tethering_support_ipv6">0</item> <item type="integer" name="TetheringGuard_Rule">3</item> to: <item type="boolean" name="tethering_guard_support">false</item> <item type="integer" name="tethering_support_ipv6">1</item> <item type="integer" name="TetheringGuard_Rule">0</item> STEP 8 : Disable Hands Free Activation Try renaming HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk Which is located at /system/app/ to HtcOMADM_SPCSOLD.apk. But doing this you may get vdm client stopped error. Congrats, we're done! com.viper.simunlockhelperfree.apk HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk SPCUtility.apk- 294 replies

Guru Ji, In bangalore they are not giving SIM with IMEI. They are asking for coupon code as well. I have an iPhone 6s, can i use the IMEI to get a JIO SIM? -

As per TT " 7. Is the SIM card locked to a single handset? Yes, the SIM cards which are available through LYF smartphone purchase are locked to the device. So you have to use the SIM card in the device to get unlimited data, calling & Jio app contents. If you put that SIM into another different 4G phone, you wouldn’t be able to use the unlimited benefits. However, the same does not apply to sims which are under partner preview offer with devices like Samsung, these sims can be used with any 4G handset after the preview offer is credited. " Is this true? can we use Samsung activated JIO sim in other mobile without breaking the free unlimited offer? any body tried? -
Hi, I planning to opt for the plan which offered by reliance. Postpaid CDMA 24 Months Zero Plan - Rs. 16999. Any body currently using this plan? Any data cap/fup/throttling? I'm mostly going for this plan to use data. Evdo rev.b is fun, getting around 6-8 Mbps in Bangalore. Suggestions please... Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk

Now i have got a bill saying that i have around 800 rupees which got adjusted from my initial deposit. How will i get this amount now? i sent an email to customer care but no response from them.

Guru Ji, I need this. Sent from my m8whl using Tapatalk -
I'm from Bangalore, Karnataka circle with 2 postpaid CDMA connections. I am getting atleast 5 calls daily for getting the new 4G sim. But i dont want to migrate to the patchy RGSM network. Somebody in this forum suggested to port out before migrating to 4G. Hence i submitted a port out request on saturday and submitted my forms to Airtel. They said it will take exact 7 days for the request to be complete. I believe the CDMA network will be shutting down only after 30, June. I already paid my this month bill in advance, as i dont want the porting request rejected because of outstanding. Will there be any issues in porting out? Even though i submitted port out request, Should i need to get the 4G sim and register it now?I dont want to loose my numbers.

Yes, I would also recommend Coolpad NOTE 3. I ordered about 6 mobiles for my family and freinds.When i first ordered one for my friend I never expected that quality and features for about 9k. It has fingerprint scanner also where you can store upto 5 fingerprints and its quicker too.- 6,376 replies

In M8 data is not working if you are having APN configured. Delete all the APN's and keep it empty, then reboot you phone. It will work. Which OS version are you using? tried Cyanogen or any other roams?
