QUOTE(jabbaian @ Sep 27 2010, 05:31 PM) had my ip4 for 2 months w no data contract from maxis as i got it from sg. hardly surf much on it too. but the data bill comes to $800++ per month! lucky maxis capped it at $250. dunno what is taking up so much data in my phone  darn.. If u have push notifications ON or if you did not close "X" the safari after using, your phone may be using the data services. Worst if u browsed those websites which has auto refresh function....it may be auto refreshing in the background. Make sure to close all unused apps by double pressing the home button the tap + hold on the running icons till the "X" bubble appear....tap the "X" bubble to exit the apps.

QUOTE(dannywonglh @ Sep 27 2010, 06:15 PM) Hi, wanna check with you all whether have you experiencing this? When the 3G on my iPhone 4 is enable, the signal strength is always showing 2-3 bars, but when i disabled the 3G, the signal strength immediately showed full bars. Isn't the signal bar supposed to show the GSM signal rather than 3G signal strength? When u on 3G, signal bar show 3G strength......when u on GSM, signal bar show GSM strength. It would be normal, when your 3G signal bar is weak (low), and phone auto switch (fall back) to GSM, u will see more bars when GSM takes over.

QUOTE(jabbaian @ Sep 27 2010, 06:25 PM) after reading back few pages. i remember calling up last week to ask abt the enormous phone bill. but they din say anything wrong w their system. in fact, the cs ask me pay $5 for them to send me the itemised bill for my data usage daily if i do not believe. i agreed cos i am really curious to see what is the prob that is charging such high data. if i were to check on my ip4 data usage, it is stated, SENT 17.2MB, RECEIVED 157MB. that is not high isn't it? Bro, from your usage (17.2Mb + 157Mb = 174Mb rounded) @ RM0.10 / 10kb. You should be paying RM1740.00 if you are not under data plan.

QUOTE(812799 @ Sep 28 2010, 05:51 PM) yeah i was shocked too , i mean 4gb less than 1 day , even streamyx cant do it  " what's the next move ? Friend, your usage is actually 8Gb (combined) not only 4Gb......something is very wrong with your phone.....like doing something on its own.  I don't think any apps out thre can do 8Gb transfer in that span of duration. Probably your phone is showing some random figure...just reset the stats n see what happens next.....oh ya u should check your data usage with telco just to be safe.

QUOTE(boblp @ Oct 1 2010, 12:24 PM) anyway.. maybe out of topic but its kinda related.. i found out that when im using the iOS 4.1 my phone battery drains soooo much faster.. (before sleep still got 50 percent.. wake up.. phone dead already.. wake up at 7 a.m.. haha) it acts like doing something while im sleeping.. luckily i turned off the data connection since im using wifi at home.. Now i going back to 4.0 and the battery issues gone already.. i wont discuss how u can rollback the iOS.. hehe OS 4.1 manages battery and data usage better if u make sure to exit the apps after use. Otherwise, all your apps will be running in the background. THIS IS IMPORTANT for all IOS 4.1 UsersTo end / exit apps, double-press the HOME button to bring up the running apps menu. Tap and hold on one of the apps to bring up the "-" balloon on each apps icon. Tap on the "-" balloon to end the respective apps.

QUOTE(KennyBent @ Nov 25 2010, 01:15 AM) I have a question. Maxis Iphone user here. Is the usage(call time) showing is combine both calling and receiving? A little confusing. Thank you for your reply. Call time is both incoming and outgoing calls time.
