  • Vivo y27l new updates version

  • Vivo V27L is a solid smartphone, and its small form factor really helps at times like listening to music while jogging. I regularly use it in gym as it comes with dedicated audio DAC from AKM. For daily use I prefer more powerful phones with bigger display. As such I rotate between Vivo X5Max, Lenovo Vibe X3 & Vivo V3Max.

  • Vivo y27l 4G Jio sim code

  • Today received an Funtouch OS update on my Vivo Y27L. Version 3.10.9. Updated and phone is working fine.

  • Downlod old my jio app

  • My opinions after using Vivo Y27L with Reliance JIO SIM: 1) JIO is supported by Y27L. Just make sure the Jio SIM is in SIM1 slot of the phone. You can put your second SIM in SIM2 slot. 2) At any one time only one SIM will operate at 4G, the other SIM will work in 2G. So you need to enable 4G for SIM1 and 2G for SIM2. Do this changes in phone settings. 3) Right away you will be able to use JIO net. Enable Data and download apps like JIO Music, JIO Movies & JIO TV to enjoy free music, movies and television!!! 4) For JIO calls downlad the Jio4GVoice app and make phone calls through this app. While making calls make sure that JIO 4G Data is enabled.This app will use Data to transfer calls. Hope thsi helps!!!

  • Yes

  • Unfortunately vivo y27l stopped taking screen shot s & stopped share external(eg:picture from fb to watsapp etc)...wats the reason...nd how can be rectified

  • How to show batery percent vivo y27

  • The jio sim supports

  • Y27l 4g

  • Plz comes to update for lollipop plz plz And this phone is not supported 4g why?..

  • How can we use 4G network

  • 4g supported

  • performance superb. supersaver is best added feature extends battery time. become competitive when price is at Rs.6000/-

  • Vivo y27L supports the Reliance gio 4G sim

  • It is a 4G phone.

  • Vivo y27 Is 4G phone or not ?

  • Full Reliance Jio support is only possible if your phone supports two separate 4G bands: 1) FDD-LTE 1800 -> Used for data in Jio 2) FDD-LTE 850 -> Used for voice (VoLTE calls) The FDD-LTE 1800 is the most popular 4G band in India, all 4G phones old or new will support it. Hence surfing the Internet and using data with Jio sim can be done with any 4G phone available in India. But Reliance have introduced a new tech in India which for phone calls using VoLTE by using the rare FDD-LTE 850 band, which frankly was never before used in India and hence no manufacturer bothered to include in their phones. Phones like my Lenovo Vibe X3 and Vivo X5Max being a generation old supports FDD-LTE 1800 out of the box, hence data works fine with Jio SIM. Newer generation phones like my Vivo V3Max supports both 4G bands, hence it has full support for Jio be it data or voice. Reliance must have understood, nobody will change their phone so as to use their SIM. Hence they have created their own app which will record your voice in real time convert it into data and sent it at FDD-LTE 1800 as all older gen phones support them. So for calls using their app the newer VoLTE specific FDD-LTE 850 band will not be used. I use this app with my Vibe X3 & X5Max and it works fine. But as someone pointed out earlier, you ALWAYS have to keep the data ON, so as to receive phone calls using Jio sim in Vibe X3 or X5Max. For me it is a big pain, as now I need to be extra careful as background data may get download and auto updates taking place which will only trigger higher phone bills!!! Also you become the slave of this Jio app, your phone's native dialer won't work. Hence I use my Jio SIM only with my Vivo V3Max as it supports both FDD-LTE 1800 & FDD-LTE 850 bands and I do not need this Jio app anymore. So with V3Max the Jio SIM acts just like a normal connection. Hope this helps!!!

  • Just using it for one week, one day it shutdown immediately and I couldn't on it back so I PURPOSELY went to the shop and asked the people to open for me and they said this problem occurred was due to the software updating.Alright..the day after, it always lag suddenly, whole phone couldn't response at all, need to wait for a few minutes it restart again. I'm just using 2 apps and the storage is still a lot spaces, why could it be lag like this? I didn't even install any game or movie or anything, and I just using it for one week problems kept revealing. Some more no notification no battery percentages all sort of things..In my point of view I'm just satisfy with the design and camera quality..seriously kinda regret buying this model.

But u just have to accept there's no notification and battery percentage. btw the battery doesnt matter for me. bcause what's important,i think its the notification. I always late replying my friends messages.

  • vivo is nice phone model- vivo y27

  • how to check my vivo are original or not.

  • hi my friend, you obviously do not know how to use a vivo. it has the most user friendly OS around. for battery goto "MORE SETTING", and set the "SHOW BATTERY PERCENTAGE" to ON. For the shortcut keys, swipe up from the bottom of the screen. if the swipe function doesnt work, means you have somehow accidentally switched it off. If so just goto "ONE HANDED" menu, turn on the "SLIDE UP TO BRING OUT QUICK BAR". Alternatively, just press and hold the HOME BUTTON key to bring out the menu. Vivo OS follows the apple iOS. It feels like very similar.

  • Problem in setting.. no shortcut notification toggles... no battery percentage... no lighting for incoming message... plezz upgrade the setting in software update.. bcoz before me update software notification toggle hav when I press home button.. after update system change when me press home botton google pop up...

  • can any tell me how to show the battery percentage... besides that there is no shortcut for turning on bluetooth,wifi,data etc....

  • Is this phone aviable in india?plz answer friend plz

  • good phone 4g supportted. vivo continue your new product...

  • It's good so far but I somehow don't get notifications if I have a message on apps like Whatsapp and WeChat..Am I the only one with this problem or is it something in the settings??

  • Hi Stan, No need to install cleam master, the phone has I Manager installed in it by default, just open it and click on phone clean>> Ram Clean/ Space Clean. it will automatically clear the ram and free the memory and also clean cache and system temporary files and thumbnails with just one click.

  • Insteal Clean Master from the Play Store. It's gonna help a lot.

  • So far I'm using this phone its good but the only problem is the ram 1gb is getting smaller for nowdays app. Is it upgradable to Lolipop?

  • No percentage for btry...no lighting when got incoming mssage ...erkkk...

  • how to make video call for this phone?

  • Why my vivo y27 can't switch oN? When charging there no signal shown battery charge

  • BAD 1. unable to create short cut for direct dial 2. FM radio stops frequently by itself 3. Battery level not shown in % GOOD 1. SMART GESTURES 2. HI-FI SOUND 3. SWIPE for VIVO

  • DOnt look at it size.. in fetures this phone is father of x3s

  • it's an awesome phone.. but the issue is only smart pplz will buy this.. not brand lovers
