I wanted to share my recent experience with Jio 5G and see if anyone else is facing the same issue. I currently use my Jio 5G phone as a USB router to access unlimited 5G internet, and it has worked flawlessly for quite some time. I recently tested using the hotspot feature as well, its same.

However, for the past few days, I've noticed an annoying issue: my phone automatically switches to Jio 4G, even though I have the settings forced to 5G using a "Force 5G" app. I've tried everything, including using a custom script to lock it to 5G only, but the network goes down for several minutes, leaving me with no signal at all.

It seems to me like this could be the end of an era for using Jio 5G this way. Whether it's a network optimization by Jio or something else, it's frustrating.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do you have any solutions, or is this the new reality? Would love to hear your thoughts!
 
Moto G34 consumes more battery when connected via USB tethering. So, using it like a normal 5G hotspot. No major issues so far.
 
@Faruk I faced a similar issue last year. When I used to download something, the network was auto-switching to 4G. Tried everything with no success. But this was resolved after a few months. It maybe Tower specific.
