Bro, thank for ur reply.
R u trying to tell me this set up (Wireless and network>mobile network>Access Point Names>>maxis 3G internet>APN type> select MMS) does not stop the 3G data usage? And the 3G watchdog does not show the actual data usage?

I had install APNdroid after I saw my 1st maxis statement, hope it will stop the extra charge. no more surprise from Maxis please.

I so shock when I received my statement, can u imagine my 3G watchdog usage meter was only 11MB and the prorated limit for 7days should be 116mb (500mb/30days x 7days), why my data usage have excess the limit.
I understand that 3G watchdog is not 100% accurate/tally to Maxis calculation, but for my case the gap is too big.

I did not regret to buy the sgs, a very nice phone.
However, my advice to those 12 buy, dun buy it from Maxis. Don’t tie yourself to the 12 months contract, I m considering to terminate the contract with RM500 fine. Your charges will not as low as RM98, Maxis like to give surprise to its users, Be prepare for the big surprise. RM10 rebate omitted, Call forwarding RM3, Call waiting RM3, itemize RM5, exceed data usage RMXXX……
Smartphone can only work fine with an unlimited data plan.

Your surprise will not end after your 1st bill…. Get ready for series of bigger surprise on ur 2nd , 3rd bill…
Go Maxis’s facebook and read the complaint on the discussion board, RM250 is just a small amount while people is getting RM700 or RM800 monthly bill.

My advice to the maxis user, please check your bill, especially the 1st bill.
My 1st month bill was double charge, RM10 rebate omitted, 3G data usage charge overcharge….
I spend whole night in maxis centre to explain and guide the maxis staff how to get the actual amount, at the end I manage to get back my hard earn money.
Please take note, the call forwarding charge of RM3 should be waived as you had subscribed for 3G. Maxis will charge you that, if you don’t question it.

BTW, dun 100% rely on the 3G watchdog, it wont be 100% accurate/tally to maxis record at least not for my case. To play safe set 400MB as your limit in 3G watchdog instead of 500mb.

think twice before you use the mobile AP function if you do not sign up for an unlimited data plan.

can you imagine if your pc downloaded a 1G movie with you 3G limited plan? RM0.005 per kb... 1G = how much?

Wat I try to say is, if u forgot to off your dl program in your PC, the charge will be very hurt.
And I assume u do know how easy to hack in to wifi network, the risk is there.


I found an offline map app, Rmaps. Download and save the maps into sgs, and you can access to the maps afterward without internet connection. Anyone is using it? Just tested it, work with GPS. I will use it on my Taiwan trip without roaming service.

Bro, dun postpone the 2nd batch dispatch. Must send it out by today, I can’t wait anymore, please ensure we can get it by tomorrow.

For those looking for offline map app, u can try Rmaps.
Nice apps for your oversea trip without the need of roaming service.

Bro, read the front page. We had repeated the solution for this problem so many time here.

no need worry too much on the screen.

Don't listen to the Maxis customer hotline operators, they are just an answer machine. They know nothing about the Maxis product, each question u asked they will ask u to hold 3-5mins....
If you 12 confirm anything, talk directly to the staff from the complaint department.
They have confirmed with me, we can upgrade the data plan, it not consider as break of contract.
What they have to do is to revise the contract.
