Hi all,

I m a motorola droid user. It is an android based phone, like apple iphone.

As i m using Hotlink prepaid. everytime i reload my credit it they will dissapear within next few days.

To my understanding is that, because droid is a smart phone, and is internet capable, it tends to connect to 3G network to update and sync user data.
I have tried my best to

#disable all applications that requires netowrk connection
#remove unnessacary applications that i suspect will automatically connect to network
#set my phone to 'use 2g network only' mode
#turn off those auto sync features, and data background

But all of these never help, the $ is still draining so fast, that on the 1st time dial 122 to check credit, it is rm30. Dial 122 again 5 mins later, the balance is only rm25. How? Help? what should i do?

But I don't get it though, having no data connection for your smartphone... is like gimping your phone's functionality already.

That is how the phone designed to work. But not with HOTLINK.

Even i have no intention of going online/facebook or whatever and just leave my phone there, my RM30 will become RM3 in 3 days time. I suspect this is because alot of data and background connection going on.

And if i dont stop the way maxis is charging me now, by sacrifising the internet connection, the next thing i lose will be the phone itself.

Can you find out the breakdown of the charges?

I have tried Maxis center, all they know is 'internet data charge'. As simple as that but cost me a bomb. There is no breakdown for prepaid user, even i requested them to verify this usage, they say if it is there, then it is there.

Maybe ask Maxis to show you the URLs which your phone is downloading from?

no chance, they alreadi make it very clear that they do not keep prepaid customer data connection information, no logs or anything to trace back. at least this is what i heard from their CSR.
