Slow Reliance Jio 4G speed ,how to increase Jio speed
Slow Reliance Jio 4G speed ,how to increase Jio speed
Reliance Jio's interesting strategy of free SIM, free internet, free voice calls and free SMS has gathered plenty of steam in last few months. It would be more interesting to see how Indian customer reacts once the services are not free, which is from January 1, 2017. Reliance has managed to improve its call quality in the last one month, if it can also work on the speed it could be the moment Indian telecom market changes for good.
Nowadays the speed is down. It didn't take long for Jio's fabled speed to drop from 50Mbps to a crawl of 6-10Mbps. Even at 8Mbps, the speed is not constant. Before September 5, the day when Reliance introduced Welcome Offer and the SIM was available to almost all users, would see speed as high as 30Mbps to 50Mbps. After September 5 it has only gone down. The average Jio 4G speed is now abysmal.
There can be several reasons for this. Reliance might still be testing its network before the commercial release on Jan 1, 2017 and the Welcome Offer is probably the final beta of the Jio service. Or maybe there is something wrong with the network.
Method 1: Lock the 4G network to band 40
To get best coverage you don't need to do anything, your phone will automatically switch to the band that offers better coverage.
To increase speed follow these steps:
-- Dial *#*#4636#*#*
-- Select phone information
-- Select "Set preferred network type"
-- Select LTE Only
For Qualcomm processor
-- Install Shortcut Master (Lite) app from Play Store.
-- Menu > Search
-- Type "Service Menu" or "Engineering Mode" and search
-- Open if found and access to change LTE bands
For MediaTek processor
-- Install MTK Engineering Mode
-- Run app
-- Select 'MTK Settings'
-- Select 'BandMode'
-- Select SIM slot where you have put your Jio SIM
-- Select 'LTE mode'
-- Select band 40 for best speed or band 5 for best coverage
-- Save settings & reboot mobile to activate changes.
Method 2: Change APN settings
You can also increase speed of your Jio internet by changing the APN settings. But before changing it we suggest you to note down the current settings.
Change the APN Settings as shown below.
-- Name - RJio
-- APN - jionet
-- APN Type - Default
-- Proxy - No changes
-- Port - No changes
-- Username - No changes
-- Password - No changes
-- Server - www.google.com
-- MMSC - No changes
-- MMS proxy - No changes
-- MMS port - No changes
-- MCC - 405
-- MNC - 857 or 863 or 874
-- Authentication type - No changes
-- APN Protocol - Ipv4/Ipv6
Download Snap VPN from Play Store
After changing the APN settings, download Snap VPN app from the Google Play Store. Once you have installed the app connect to Singapore or France server. This should improve your downloading speed but not browsing speed.
Jio 4G speed is down with big time and users confirm by Speedtest
Jio 4G speed is down with big time and users confirm by Speedtest
wen someone promises 4G speed reaching up to 135Mbps, in an internet-scarce country like India, the market can only go crazy. And so it did after September 5, when Reliance made the Jio SIM available to public under Welcome Offer. The situation has changed in the last one month. Numbers by Ookla, the company behind world's most popular speed test app, show that the Jio speed is down significantly compared to how it was earlier. Although, don't count out Jio yet. The same report by Ookla also says that despite its imperfections Jio is actually a big deal and has changed the 4G market in India.
Ookla has recently released a report based on speed tests done in India since the launch of Reliance Jio. The report shows an exponential increase in 4G users across India. Since these numbers are based on people using Ookla's Speedtest app the real number should be higher. According to Reliance Jio, it has registered over 1.6 crore customers in Welcome Offer, which doesn't include users who registered before September 5.
India grabs Jio with both hands
A graphic presentation by Ookla shows a continuous increase in 4G speed tests in first nine months of 2016. These tests are conducted across all the networks providing 4G services. In January, only 97,630 people used the app to test 4G speed. In August the number was 2,742,413, and took a massive jump to 8, 214,512 in September 2016, the month when Reliance Jio became more widely available.
By August 16, the number of people testing 4G speed stands at somewhere around 8 million across country. Out of these 8 million people are shown to be using Reliance Jio. Then in the next one month, on Sept 16, the number of Reliance Jio tester jumps to over 21 million, which is about 5 million more than the officially recorded number of Welcome Offer users.
Users have continuously moaned and groaned about the falling speed but now since we have the numbers released by Ookla, we can confirm their groans are not fake. The struggle is real.
The data released by Ookla shows that mean download speeds for 4G capable phones dropped 23 per cent month-over-month. In September alone the mean download speed has fallen from 11.31 Mbps to 8.77 Mbps.
It should be noted that while the mean download speed is still 8.77Mbps, according to Ookla, it doesn't mean most users are getting the speed. In our experience we have registered speed as low as 0.5Mbps and also as high as 25Mbps. Reliance Jio users have also complained of abysmal speed on the network.
Good speed or not Reliance Jio has definitely managed to make its mark not just in India but globally as well. The 4G surge has been so powerful that the global data has also been affected. Take a look at this graphs.
The graph shows that global 4G test stayed at around 10 million throughout the year and from Aug 16 to Sept 16 the company recorded a jump to more than 20 million tests on 4G LTE networks
Reliance Jio's interesting strategy of free SIM, free internet, free voice calls and free SMS has gathered plenty of steam in last few months. It would be more interesting to see how Indian customer reacts once the services are not free, which is from January 1, 2017.

US govt bans Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones on flights
US govt bans Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones on flights
Passengers and flight crews will be banned from bringing Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smart phones on airline flights under an emergency order issued Friday by the Department of Transportation in response to reports of the phones catching fire.
The order, which goes into effect on Saturday at noon EDT, says the phones may not be carried on board or packed in checked bags on flights to and from the United States or within the country. The phones also can’t be shipped as air cargo.
The department initially said that passengers attempting to board planes with the phones might face fines, but later clarified that such passengers will simply not be allowed on planes. Passengers who try to evade the ban by packing the phone in their checked luggage may be subject to criminal prosecution in addition to fines. Packing the phones in checked luggage increases the risk of a “catastrophic incident,” the department said.
Passengers who are currently travailing with Samsung Galaxy Note7 phones should contact Samsung or their wireless carrier immediately to obtain information about how to return their phones and arrange for a refund or a replacement phone, the department said.
Samsung has recalled more than 2.5 million of the smart phones, citing a battery manufacturing error. The South Korean company discontinued the product earlier this week, less than two months after its August release.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says there have been nearly 100 reports of batteries in Note 7 phones overheating in the US. One fire erupted on a Southwest Airlines flight earlier this month. In another case, a family in St. Petersburg, Florida, reported Galaxy Note 7 phone left charging in their Jeep caught fire, destroying the vehicle.
The Federal Aviation Administration had previously warned passengers not to pack the phones in their checked bags and to power them off and not charge them while on board planes.
“We recognize that banning these phones from airlines will inconvenience some passengers, but the safety of all those aboard an aircraft must take priority,” said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “We are taking this additional step because even one fire incident in flight poses a high risk of severe personal injury and puts many lives at risk.”
Samsung said in a statement that it is working with the department to make customers aware of the ban. The company also urged Note 7 customers to get a refund or exchange their phones by visiting their wireless carrier or retail store. Samsung has a website and a phone number, 1-844-365-6197, for customers with questions.
The Note 7 isn’t the only gadget to catch fire thanks to lithium-battery problems, which have afflicted everything from laptops to Tesla cars to Boeing’s 787 jetliner. At least three US airlines are adding new fire-suppression equipment to fleets in case a cellphone or laptop battery overheats, catches on fire and can’t be extinguished.
Rechargeable lithium batteries are more susceptible to overheating than other types of batteries if they are exposed to high temperatures, are damaged or have manufacturing flaws. Once overheating starts, it can lead to “thermal runaway” in which temperatures continue escalating to very high levels. Water can extinguish the flames, but doesn’t always halt the thermal runaway. Flames will often reappear after initially being quenched.
Lithium batteries are ubiquitous in consumer electronic devices. Manufacturers like them because they weigh less and pack considerably more energy into the same space than other types of batteries.
Earlier this year, the International Civil Aviation Organization, a UN agency that sets global aviation safety standards, banned bulk shipments of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries as cargo on passenger planes until better packaging can be developed to prevent a fire from spreading and potentially destroying the plane.
