KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted July 10, 2016 What speeds are you getting? Specifically, are cheaper LYF handsets providing similar speeds as expensive ones?Well, speed gets maximum affected by the quality of network, coverage, the band currently connected and number of users using the current tower. The quality of handset also plays a role, but not the maximum effect as I listed above. So go for the handset according to your budget without much worries, IMHO.sent from my Lenovo Vibe P1 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At home signal is poor, but YouTube streaming still works fine. Flame 2 does not seem bad as a device. I cannot make outgoing calls. Not sure why. Congratulations & welcome to the fast growing Jio family! Outgoing works perfectly for Jio-Jio & Jio-RCom (CDMA/GSM) calls. however, to other Operators you may need to dial 2-3 times! best wishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joshm 818 Report post Posted July 11, 2016 hey all I have recently started taking interest in owning a jio connection as i am sick of rcom pathetic 4g so today as i was on off , i went out to a couple of Rel digital stores, i had talked to Mr Kanaga regarding which handset to buy so i was hell bent on buying a wind 4 but strangely its out of stock every where, one store had it as demo initially they agreed to sell it to me with a new connection but after a few minutes refused . the other handsets had pretty small battery and the good ones were a bit higher on the budget . I had to come back empty handed, this post i am making to seek some help from the members, can anyone suggest where can i get tghe wind4 or if there is some other cheap and best handset option or mifi for that matter. I was thinking of using first up for data but then realized if the handset has such higher battery then i can use both sim slots one for jio as hotspot and other with my personal number for calling. let me know if anyone can help Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commonman 228 Report post Posted July 11, 2016 @joshm Wind4, if you can get it. Apparently it is being sold on amazon for a premium of upto 2500. Else, Flame 2, with a good power bank. the only deficiency is the battery. Otherwise, a good buy at just 3499. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joshm 818 Report post Posted July 12, 2016 Well after trying hard for two days I was finally able to get a wind 4 handset with the jio connection. The wind 4 has been discontinued and it is not available in Delhi with any reliance digital store. I was hell bent on buying this particular model owing to the enormous battery. Sincere thanks to Mr Kanaga who strongly advised me to get This particular one , it was on his recommendations that I zeroed in for WIND4Thanks mate Now waiting for the connection to be activated. Will share the data speed, quality etc in a couple of days Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandeep07 32 Report post Posted July 12, 2016 Lyf wind 4 is decent handset, after its launch i waited for week to arrive in reliance digital stores in 3rd week of may. I grab this handset in last day of invite expiry with jio connection. I have some issues with lyf wind 4, firstly I am not getting network in second sim slot even 2g. And secondly if I use 4g usim in both slots then jio LTE signal fluctuates frequently and if I deactivate second sim slot the jio LTE connection works normal. Need to visit lyf care centre to figure out above mentioned problem otherwise its OK. Is anyone else facing the same problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

commonman 228 Report post Posted July 16, 2016 I am experiencing significantly less speed in devices connected via wifi hotspot. Kept side by side, speedtest gives 5 times more speed in Wind4 itself than the spped shown in connected RN3. Anyone else facing such issues? Is is possible that they have put in some restrctions in the firmware? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joshm 818 Report post Posted July 16, 2016 Okay so yesterday evening my jio number started working. The wind 4 isn't a bad phone, just unhappy with that uneven brightness thing as it has a tft screen so you can notice those small leds at the bottom and slight variation on brightness, That apart the phone is decent. About jio, call quality is excellent. Data speed at my place was pathetic at 2.5mbps only, inhale lodged a complaint regarding that and they say it will be resolved. As soon as I was out of the locality I was getting all 5 bars and a whopping 40mbps data speed. Even at one of my clinic s where there are no rcom signals, it's clocking around 10mbpsSent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my MI PAD using Tapatalk I use it as a second phone for voice & SMS and as a portable hotspot for primary phone which is RN3. So far no problem in sending SMS or making/receiving calls. The main advantage is the battery backup which makes it useful as a hotspot on the move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
