my iphone usage date running itself too without surfing internet
everytime increase like few kb in 20-30 mins.called up maxis they also dont know,went maxis centre they also don;t know...anyone can help with this???

@hades86
yup from maxis bill.. can log in to maxis website and check.. mine shows like below. not sure where the 4 cents coming from but could be from before I'm on the iValue plan.


@loumou
do you have push and notification turned on? that could be onr reason why your data count keep increasing.. I suggest you consider using fake APN. But, if you have push and notification turned on and using fakeAPN at the same time, your battery could possibly drain faster..

means i need to turn off the notification??and may i know where can i find the APN?sorry for noob question

suggest u go with turn off notification 1st
not every1 need the pop notification
if tat don help...then go wit fakeAPN

i already switch off, it seems like the usage date stop running, may i know where to find APN on iphone?

@wz3k
want to check with you, what app did you use since you used about 100MB?

@loumou,
If you're using a Maxis SIM U will not see the APN settings; please go to the thread as provided by saksoba to learn more about turning of EDGE:

@wintzen,
Any apps that connects U to data will contribute to your 100MB.

Is it true?

I don't have any problem to turn off 3G and Edge for iPhone. All I need to do is, from SBSetting, just off 3G and Edge toggle. It works for me. Plus, I still can subscribe for hour/day mobile Internet. Just turn on the 3G and Edge.

Must JB 1st la

@saksoba,
I apparently read some forummers are having such issues; am not sure if it's a "real" issue or they just don't know how to switch off the APN.

I've not had problems switching APN off even on a non jailbroken set

thanks for the reply but i already triple check my bill and it doesnt show the usage. the obvious reason i could think of is probably the unlimited data plan i take.

@hades86,
Yes - if you're on the Unlimited plan, your total data is not shown.

means if I jb my phone can solve this prob?

@loumou,
Yes but U don't need to JB the phone to switch off APN. How many times have I said to read the pinned threads?!

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/868281

Might be.

As per tinkerbel said, non jb set also can. I assume, APN editing.

You can try both ways and find out which one is work for you.

@saksoba,
If you're on a Maxis SIM U will need to just create a fake APN profile; won't be able to edit APN cause no APN function

@wintzen
my typical daily usage like below, i basically have two "profiles.

1. Outside: Wifi off, fakeAPN off
mostly browse internet - read thestar, utusan, forums, facebook, gmail etc.

2. At Home: Wifi on, fakeAPN on
downloading apps, youtube video (using MxTube)

I always leave 3G and Edge - ON (SBSetting). So far, using fakeAPN is enough to stop my cellular data.
Oh, I also replace the standard "hosts" file to prevent Ads from loading. So far makes my internet surfing faster..

i don't understand why people need to disable E ...

@hk_loo,
Because these people aren't subscribed to data services and don't intend to hence in order to avoid paying for data services they disable EDGE

Having an iphone with no 3G or edge capability....hmm.....

Maybe they want the 3G, EDGE capability but the 3G is on all the time for some reasons such as push notification and stuff which will result in expected phone bill by end of the month.
