My intex aqua fish is not supporting my jio app and other jio apps are working fine (i can open all jio apps but my jio is not responding ) does 4g jio support my device?

* Yes and No.*
Since Intex Aquafish supports 4G LTE, Jio DATA services will work fine and you should get 4g speeds using it. But since Sailfish OS doesn't support VoLTE (Voice over LTE) yet, one cannot FULLY ACTIVATE all Jio services using an Intex Aqua Fish or Jolla 1 phone and will not be able to use voice services on it.
According to Reliance Jio support, VoLTE feature on 4g phone is a must for FULL activation.
So once you get a Jio sim and verification SMS, go to the Reliance digital store or use your friends 4g VoLTE phone to call Reliance Jio (1977 using your Jio sim) to do FULL ACTIVATION (voice and data) for your connection.
The Jio sim packaging mentions that you can also call 1800 890 1977 (from any number) to activate only the 4g data service. That is, if your phone doesn't support VoLTE, you can call the above number using your non-VoLTE phone or landline and do a partial activation of Jio data service only (voice call service will not be enabled).
Once the Jio sim is activated re-insert it back in your Aqua Fish phone and:
Dear Customer,
To start using Jio data services, please configure APN by going to Settings -> Cellular Networks -> Access Point -> Create NEW APN -> Under APN Type: Jionet -> Save -> Make this the default APN. Thank you.
Team Jio
Of course, this instruction is for Android phones.
To do the same on Sailfish:
(If you have installed Sailfish Utilities from the Jolla store, instead of restarting the phone go to Settings > Utilities and tap on the Restart network connections button).
Wait for a few minutes for the phone to register with the Jio network and then enable mobile data.
When I enabled data and tried to browse, it kept redirecting me to a Jio webpage to recharge my credit (as shown above in the 2nd shot). Jio customer support later confirmed that JioFi sim will only work on the MiFi device.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you got your Jio SIM with the JioFi MiFi device, that sim will only work on the JioFi device and NOT on your phone.
As pointed out by @bhavin192 you can also activate a Jio sim using the Jio Join app Jio4gVoice. The Jio4gVoice app claims to add VoLTE feature to non VoLTE 4g phones.
So if you can successfully install and run that app on your Intex Aqua Fish / Jolla 1 phone, it can be used as an alternative method to fully activate ALL Jio services.
Update (21 May 2017): The latest version of Jio4gVoice android app (version 4.1.3) installed successfully on my Sailfish OS 2.1.0.11. It also runs fine and is now able to detect my JioFi device and was successfully able to authenticate it. As such, I was able to make voice call and video calls successfully with it. As stated below, you still have to allow android app access to your contacts for the Jio4gVoice app to run successfully.
Note: I have a JioFi device, and don't use the Jio sim on the phone. I have only tested the app with the JioFi device.
Note that the following below were done on my Jolla 1 phone and NOT Intex Aqua Fish. Intex Aqua Fish users may get a different result.
Update: The Jio4gVoice app - the latest update to the older Jio Join app - installs fine but will keep crashing unless you allow it access to your 'contacts'. (To allow android app to access your contact, go to Settings > Android Support and enable Allow Android apps to access your contacts. Note that ALL android apps will be able to access your contacts!)
As a test, I tried activating my friend's Jio sim on my Jolla 1 (NOT Intex Aqua Fish) using the Jio Join app (which I downloaded from a third-party site). The app installed successfully and also opened without any error. But it couldn't recognize the Jio SIM and thus didn't work.
We also tried the second option - putting the sim into a MiFi device (JioFi) and then connecting the phone to the device by Wifi. But, as shown in the second screenshot above, the app still didn't work and gave an error.
Note: I have disabled the option to allow android apps to access my contacts list. This could be the reason why the Jio Join app doesn't work properly. As I am not interested in allowing android apps to access my contacts, I won't be doing further tests and using this app. Perhaps someone else can chime in with their experience?
@bhavin192 - Thanks for the additional clarification. I have updated my post with more info.
sifartech ( 2016-09-04 19:24:42 +0200 )edit@bhavin192 - Can you try installing and running Jio4gVoice (the latest update of Jio Join app which has also been renamed) on your Aqua Fish? It installed fine for me but doesn't run / open on my Jolla 1.
sifartech ( 2016-09-08 22:46:33 +0200 )edit@bhavin192 hi bhavin, did you try? if yes, could you confirm?

http://techpp.com/2017/07/13/reliance-jio-4g-volte-feature-phone a 10$ feature phone having kaiOS ( based on firefox OS) supports volte and vowifi .It also has a voice assisstant in lt. But still SailfishOs dont have emerging features on their roadmap.
true every carrier is moving toward VoLTE. But they dont get it . Firefox os fork got exposure to more than 100 million subscriber base of jio. This bussiness oppurtunity should have been grabbed by the jolla. But they just dont get this. They working hard to port sailfish to older devices.
DC ( 2017-07-15 10:35:17 +0200 )editlets face it, sailfish os is of no use, its just junk to all the Indians because it doesnot support volte, some of us are facing reboots but nothing been really done by jolla which makes it equal to garbage, lack of core functionality makes it dumber than feature phones, sim support in sim slots is unknown, some sim cards works only in slot 1 and some in slot 2. but i am back on "the beast" (n*kia n900), good luck to you my friends, its time to leave sailfish.
hardy_magnus ( 2017-07-15 13:34:37 +0200 )edit+1 At this point of time, Only Android Support is worth in it otherwise frequent reboots makes it totally crap. I will try this feature phone as an Volte supplement also for having an experience with this firefox fork os (kaiOS) , rumours are there that it can run whatsapp .

Tried and tested. Jio sim works on aquafish. Latches on to the signal and data works as expected. Jio join doesn't recognize the sim on the device. So no VoLTE calls tested.
What to do if shows connection disabled in Internet Connection even though 4G signal comes?

Fix for the issue of "Jio LTE Network settings (India)" released in 2.0.4.

After updating to Fiskarsinjoki Early Access, the JIO Hotspot is working fine with the Intex Aquafish! Could make calls to regular phone numbers.
But a minor bug: The "Add Contact Button in the app" fails to load the contact of the phone and it crashed the app every time it's initiated.
The OS is refusing to grant access to the contacts (People) for the Jio4GVoice!
Did you enable Android apps to access contacts (Settings -> Android support)?

Though I am not sure but I am guessing that it will support Jio n/w as it is running on primarily on 2300 Mhz which is present in the Aquafish.

I don't think its mandatory to download MyJio app to use JIO services as the network is open to all from SEP5...wait till sep5 if MyJio app is not working...

When i inserted the sim, it recoginzed the JIO but failed to display 4G! So i tried the same sim on a supported android phone and activated it , Volte worked fine! But still i havent tried to sideload JioJoin app to my jolla phone, so it may work !

I'm thinking of getting the Reliance Jio sim as well. Need to know if it would work fine with Aqua Fish or I'd need to buy a cheap LYF or something.

dillihifi ( 2016-09-02 19:12:02 +0200 )editLatest version of the app is working for me. Clear the data of the app and restart your phone.
bhavin192 ( 2016-09-05 21:07:17 +0200 )edit@bhavin192 - The app installs and opens on my Jolla 1 phone too, but it doesn't recognize the Jio sim on it. Let us know if the app recognizes the Jio sim on the Aqua Fish and you are able to make calls on it.
sifartech ( 2016-09-07 23:11:21 +0200 )editThe MyJio app wont run bcoz Intex AquaFish has no VoLTE support. This means that you cant launch the myjio app, make calls with the aquafish using a JioSIM but hey, you can still use the net ;) you just need a VoLTE enabled phone to activate your JioSIM, use a friend's phone for activating your JioSIM and be sure to check the list of phones which support VoLTE on Jio's Website under updated list of Welcome Offer. Hope that helps.
