Guys, the 3G/2G selection mode applet on N900, if I choose 3G or dual, will this 3G be considered as the data packets (correct ah?) and charged by Maxis?

QUOTE(super_evil_alien @ Feb 19 2011, 12:14 AM) Remember there is 3 possible data setting with N900. Nope, I already uninstalled fMMS for quite some time.2G - GPRS 2.5G - EDGE 3G - Well...It's 3G Even if you limit you device to 2G,it can still connect to internet with GPRS. Another thing did you receive any MMS with fMMS?Because fMMS charge you per data & not per MMS.  With the 3g/2g selection applet, there are three options right? DUAL, GSM and 3G. I chose GSM. But let's say if I choose 3G or Dual, can I still be charged for data usage? So confusing  Added on February 19, 2011, 8:01 am QUOTE(one1002 @ Feb 19 2011, 02:22 AM) ctrl+shift+r..then close keyboard..turn the phone to portrait mode.. I always make sure to be connected only to wifi (P1 Wimax at my aunt's house or school's). choosing the 3G alone doesn't actually connects the phone to the internet..unless u choose "internet connection" --> celcom/mxs/digi internet connection --> with the 3G icon next to the battery icon, then u are connected to the internet..mind u connecting to the internet by using 3G will skyrocket your bill because app manager will find the updates no matter what kind of connection u are using..either 3G, 2G, or wifi, it'll search for updates for the first 5minutes.. But when I called Maxis operator, he said that, even though I chose wifi, if let's say it gets disconnected, the phone will automatically switch to 3G, which made me doubt it. Maxis operator really knows or just simply say it to me? QUOTE(mashimarow @ Feb 19 2011, 06:55 AM) set it to always ask is the safest way. it will ask for connection when needed. Yes, I set it to always ask right from the beginning.  This post has been edited by solsekuin44: Feb 19 2011, 08:01 AM |

Just to share, for those who are having problems with PREENV, try this:
$ sudo gainroot # apt-get -f install # apt-get autoremove # apt-get clean # apt-get update # apt-get upgrade # apt-get install preenv I had a problem before Problem solved! |

QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Feb 23 2011, 07:26 AM) Nokia MM9780S Ooh..cool. Will try this. Some other remotes work as well... but not all the buttons mentioned have the same configuration... you'll have to try most buttons to double check if they function as they are... but it DEFINITELY scares the shit out of my housemates!! KAKAKAKKAA  QUOTE(Josh_M @ Feb 23 2011, 09:05 AM) Thanks mate will update you the outcome later tonite. Do share.. =) Oh, about my Maxis thingy, I still have to pay the bills. Hm, don't know what makes it very expensive. I always make sure not to be connected to Maxis 3G. |

QUOTE(mashimarow @ Feb 23 2011, 09:18 AM) get a dataplan package, safer Yeah, I was thinking to do the same.. =) we never know how the operator charge us and we are no way tracing it, their answer never satisfy, just switch operator if you feel being conned...too much  New package. Hm, the app used to switch Astro channels, can't find it? Am still a noob This post has been edited by solsekuin44: Feb 23 2011, 09:42 AM |

QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Feb 23 2011, 09:54 AM) use the app dataplan monitor. It gives you an idea about how much data has been downloaded and when to stop... so, if lets say you subscribed to the 500mb 1 day plan, you can go ahead... surf, keep checking the dataplan monitor (which will be on your desktop) and make sure you don't exceed the 500mb mark. It can also be easily reseted in settings. It'll help you monitor your usage very well.. how accurate it is, i've yet to overshoot that limit ever since using it.... Ok, will try this. Can't stop palying Jump O Clock use qtirreco... can download from app manager or use apt-get  QUOTE(Josh_M @ Feb 23 2011, 09:59 AM) Bro under what database is this remote stored...? Will try this. Thanks..Irreco QUOTE(mashimarow @ Feb 23 2011, 10:01 AM) i use netstory , it monitor all the data being used, and it calculate only data movement using operator, all wifi data transfer are not calculated, so you get a very accurate reading...well, that what we claimed here Yeah, whatever it is, I still have to pay the bill. I will use netstory just for my reference.the comment from solsekuin44 is she is being charged while not using any data usage, we never know how operator charging us even we claim we not using any and there is no point argue with them, they never waive the charges, just switch operator if not satisfy QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Feb 23 2011, 10:12 AM) I use qtirreco.. when you open the app, it'll have the 'download remote' function. It's all in there. You won't miss it... Tried irreco a few times but couldn't get it to work.. qtirreco yes Will try, thanks for sharing =) Does it work with Astro Beyond decoder? |

HTC Doubleshot? Ok, will google it! Thanks.
I thought it was HTC 7, haha.. But, from your previous posts, I remember that you 'despised' Win7 mobile? Sorry if I were wrong. |
