Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image Hello,

iPhone Generation : 3G
Locked/Unlocked (or Part Number) : Officially Unlocked
Current Firmware : 3.0.1
iTunes Version : 8.2
Computer Platform : Vista
Jailbreaking software : RedSn0w
Problem Encountered : see below
Steps Had Taken (list down) : completely disable edge and 3g using fakeapn
Problem Screenshot (if any) : none
Other Info / Remark :


I've been using this phone for almost 1month. Its being completely re-installed with fresh firmware. Disabled 3G and edge right after jb with fakeapn.
When I recieve my Celcom bill this month, I've been charged for about RM40 for 3G usage. Does anybody face the same problem ?

ps:/ sorry i've been searchin around but didnt found any thread that suites this. Mod, please move to appropriate thread if any.

Thanks.

Atttached are my pics of setting & Proof Of Concept
1. no internet (no wifi and 3g is off)
2. the IP setting
3. the APN setting

err how to attach ?

@rip_code my safari doesnt work, however the counter in cellular network data statistic is increasing bits by bits and got 2K within 5 minutes. No apps running. SBSettings with 3G off, Edge Off, FakeAPN. Is there any other apps that running that would eat up my bytes ?

Currently im Upgrading to 3.0.1 - after upgrading, the data in cellular network data is still at 0 bytes.

I'll let it be idle for 10 minutes and see how. After that will do JB and see how. Will update later after JB.

@22:20 JB the unit back with the apps... wait a few other minutes, the cellular network data counter are not increase.. this is great !... now im transferring my apps, music, video and notes again.

@tnsai,
You could check though I'd never gotten information from there.  I'd always waited till my bill came and more or less rely on the Usage counter on the iPhone smile.gif

@wayne78,
What on earth do U do with ur iPhone that U utilise 4GB of data usage p/day? U sure are hard core but if one uses it wisely, I think even 500MB is sufficient lah smile.gif

U use it to download stuff kah? tongue.gif

@tinkerbell

normally tv series will be 300++MB per episode. Summore got few tv series to follow. I understand how and why 4GB weekly is not enuff. THat doesnt include of downloading stuffs biggrin.gif

If we disable the pdp_ip0, will it solve the problem for the data network ? meaning that we cant go to internet ?
How could we make it permanently run after each reboot ?

CODE
# ifconfig
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.5.113 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.5.255
ether 00:25:4b:6b:5c:fd
pdp_ip0: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1450
inet 10.176.238.146 --> 10.176.238.146 netmask 0xffffffff


from here we know that en0 is the wifi interface, pdp_ip0 would be the data network. am i right ?

By far, the best method is still to put in fake APN information, that will ensure your 3g data is not used..

i've used this. however i still can see my data counter increasing.
mind u im using fw 3.1.2 with i3gs
