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 sad.gif
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.

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.

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.

yeah i was shocked too , i mean 4gb less than 1 day , even streamyx cant do it sleep.gif"

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. ohmy.gif

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.

Well alrdy reset the stats so far so good but as mentioned if the phone acting itself on both transfer which amounts to 8gb my battery wouldn t last that long.

Perhaps communication with some alien lolz

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 Users

To 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.

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.
