First of all remember that there are three bands available for LTE on RN4.
Namely :-
Band 3
Band 5 and
Band 40
Generally higher the band, the lower is signal strength but higher is the internet speed. So if you are having good network signals you can lock your phone on Band 40 and get great internet speed.
How to lock your band?
1. Download an app from playstore called "Signal Network guru"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qtrun.QuickTest
2. Grant root access
3. From three dot menu, select band locking>LTE
4. Untick Band 3 and Band 5. It'll show some warning. Just ignore it.
5. Your phone will reboot automatically and voila you'll have the max JIO speed you can get.
Tested on:-
Device - RN4 (SD) (Should work on all Qualcomm devices)
ROM - RR
PS : I found this method on miui forums. I don't remember the exact thread link. If you find it, let me know so that I can give proper credits.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* on the dial pad, on the top right menu select the option to Select band on the next screen, select Band 6. I am constantly locked on Band 4, after making this change and my internet speeds has jumped significantly.
Please be advised, that you need reboot your phone and it might take about 15 minutes to sync your new settings to VZW servers after you make this change.
Let me know, if this helped anyone else.
I tried this and idk if it helped lol
I know Band 4 is XLTE, but what's Band 6?

In the selection band, you dont have Band 4. You need to select Band 6 from the list.
How do you see what band you're currently on?
Use LTE Discovery app.
It says it changed to band 6 but LTE discovery shows band 4 even after a reboot
It is supposed to Show Band 4 on LTE Discovery. That is good. Now do a speed test and see improvements.
no improvement here. same ping and upload speed. dropped 6Mbps on download speed.
how to i change back since there's no option for band 4 in the settings?
If you selected Band 6 in that Menu, that should connect u to Band 4 or Band 13 on Verizon. Open LTE discovery app and see which band you are connected on now.
But if you want to revert back to your previous settings.. You can do a network reset from the backup & menu option under settings.
I don't have any issues with VoLTE or speeds on Verizon.
This worked, very good! I was experiencing slow speeds, especially upload speeds and this fixed it!
First want to put it out there that you do this at your own risk
I love that T-mobile has Band 12 LTE coverage but for me the data speeds on Band 12 are horrifically slow, so I prefer my phone to be on Band 4 LTE (at least while at work).
I used to do this change all the time on my S6/Edge and the steps are vary similar to do them on the S7(slightly more involved).
To start with, if you mess with bands, it can(and probably will) affect some sort of your service
So to change network bands you have to enter the service menu. To do this, go to the phone dialer and enter
*#2263#
Once here you will see a screen saying ServiceMode followed by various options
To turn off Band 12 choose LTE Band Preference (#4 on the list).
Then hit next page until you see Band 12 and deselect it (this will remove the * from next to it).
Once that is done, in the top right you'll see where it says "More" select this and choose "Back" - do this until you get back to the main page
Now back at the "Main Menu" choose "Apply Band Configuration" (option 7) and you're done.
Once you exit the menu(by hitting either home or the back phone key) you'll lose signal for a second while the phone switches the bands around.
To revert back to normal, enter service menue *#2263#, choose "Select All Bands"(Option6) and then Choose "Apply Band Configuration" and you're back to normal
Hope this helps someone
EDITed the info above so that you can turn off just Band 12 and keep calling features
Updated the instructions, figured out how to make the phone stick to Band 4 and still retain ability to make/receive calls
Oh Ya band 12 is terribly slow. At least when compared to band 4. Band 4 is wideband at 20x20 20mhz bandwidth while band 12 is 5mhz bandwidth. It's just barely enough.
I was wondering why my speeds suck since I've upgraded to a new phone guessing this is why
Do you have any approximations of the speed difference between the bands, like with speedtest or something?
I didn't notice any difference in speed with my tests was really hoping for better. I'm only getting about 15-20mbps now I was getting between 60-80 about 3 months ago

I'll get some later tonight - something is going on with LTE around my work and Band 4 and Band 12 are both acting up
I cant access *#2263# menu on my galaxy s7 edge exynos version
How to speed up jio connection?
I am posting pre configuration also as well as in case pre configuration not work you can try at your own hit and trial method.
Pre config -
I am not providing any downloadable files or content. This process needs root and volte supported roms. Custom lineage and its based roms still can have issue. It will work best on eui roms ( stock and customs) .
App need -
Net guru (free) - download
1. Download net guru app. And give root access . It will take some time for configuration.
2. Wait untill it shows LTE testing.
3. Now go to menu and select lock bands.
4. Now select LTE and select "B3 1800+" band.
5. Restart and. Enjoy new speed.
Reason to lock only this band -
Coverage + speed too.
Check speed by trai app.
If above method don't work then follow till 3rd step and now select 3 individual bands at which jio works and check your speed at individual bands and lock them at your most preferable band.
Details about bands:
Jio is using 3 LTE bands for 4G:
Band 3 (1800Mhz),
Band 5 (850Mhz)
and Band 40 (2300Mhz)
If LTE Bands are arranged according to services then
Best 4G coverage*: Band 5 > Band 3 > Band 40
Best 4G Speed*: Band 40 > Band 3 > Band 5
Average 4G speed*: Band 40 : 30mbps+Band 3 : 14mbps+Band 5 : 5mbps+
Extra -
1. After Deleting app band locking still works.
2. Restarting doesn't affect band locking.
3. Updating roms or changing also not affect band locking.
4. It's not necessary band 3 will give you more speed or coverage try according to your area. Mine is most suitable at B3.
Working - Sim - up. Working in Delhi, haryana and up.
Post your results.
Thank you bro
If you will use this trick then you both incoming and outgoing call will not work at the time of data connection ,you have to switch to flight mode to enable again

What is the status of SMS from JIO?
First thing is Jio is 4g only, whatever solution provided by you will not solve network drop because lock bend is not solve ROM issue. So provided solution will not work for MIUI PRO, I am using network signal guru from long time to lock band base on area and signal strength to get maximum speed when network signal is low

It will permanently lock band it doesn't matter you will unroot or even change rom or upgrade to newer Android. To change band lock you need NSG again...

hello guys,
I just purchased HTC U Ultra last week and it's very good.
I get 138mbps download speed with LTE band 1, but the problem is I can't choose the band, it keeps changing between B1, B3, and B28.
I found Guru Network Signal application can change the LTE band, but root is required.
How can I get this root for HTC U ultra??
Is there a way to change the LTE band without a root?
There are detailed rooting tutorials online, I suggest using Magisk as Super user.
Band Lock works with Network Signal Guru (confirmed that).
Although the Radio capability is very limited Like on the Google Pixel (2) (XL).
