i am a sony xperia arc user now! the only thing i'm not satisfied with is maxis. i bought the phone on friday and they still haven't registered my number yet. went to maxis just now and said will be authorized by 3 pm... maxis is so disappointing.

Ugh just found out they have the SAKURA PINK for Japanese and European market only -__- ATM Maxis has no plans to sell the pink one.

Added on May 30, 2011, 12:53 pmIt's been uncharged for 16 hours with facebook + twitter notification on, played games like angry birds, bakery story, paradise island, golf hd and stupid zombies, and downloaded 7 apps from market, 36 watchdog widget is on, and i left the whatsapp running, and now there's 21% battery left. so it's pretty good. My 3G is on all the time, and I did not use any wifi.

It charges very fast using the car charger- I was driving around for 15 minutes and it charged around approximately 20%.

Overall I'm very satisfied with the battery performance so far .

hey guys, not sure if this is the right thread.. anyways i purchased the arc using maxis contract for 12 months, data plan is 500 mb per month. one of the first app i downloaded is 3g watchdog. 11 days after my line was activated my usage was around 75.7% and suddenly my line was dc.

i contacted maxis and they said i used over rm 200 of internet usage (cos i rarely make phone calls, just use whatsapp) and they charge 10 cents per 10 kB. is there such a thing? i was not notified by maxis of going over my credit limit and my 3g watchdog says i use only 75.7% of my 500 mb. i downloaded a few apps during the 1st few days when i got the phone, like angry birds, angry bird seasons, pumpkins vs monsters, sudoku, vignette, tap2 4, dolphin browser, farm story & stupid zombies. so now to reconnect my line i kena bayar half of the amount due.

has anyone faced this problem yet? is it really possible that 3g watchdog is not accurate? that from downloading all those apps i exceeded 500mb?

1. I asked them to check how much specifically it was for the data plan and voice plan but they cannot check the balance for each, only until the final bill for each month is produced then they can check. But IMO I didn't make many phone calls (only to my parents, 3 times and around 2 minutes each) and used whatsapp to message my friends. I signed up using 500MB DP + RM 50 (for voice plan). So the service rep deduced that it must be from my internet usage.
2. According to the guy, he said that 3G Watchdog app is not 100% accurate which is why I apparently exceeded my limit.
3. That's why I asked the sales rep specifically how much my bill would be for the first month, he said I just kena bayar for my voice plan cos the data plan is already included for 3 months rebate. He said unless I exceed my charges, my final bill would amount to RM 50 (vp) + RM 58 (dp) + 6% gov tax, except for the first bill my vp is not included cos rebate. He stated that Maxis would send me notification when I am reaching my credit limit. I received no such notification, and there is nowhere in the contract I signed stating that I would be charged additional 10cents for every 10kB after I exceed dp He stated that my connection would be terminated for that month when it exceeds =/


My line was activated 4 days after I signed the contract cause the sales rep did not activate my line (I applied on Friday evening). The guy said my line should be activated within 24 hours... but it wasn't til 3days later (Monday noon).

So yes... I am in quite a predicament. Anybody tried for waiver? And the sucky thing is I can only argue my case at the Maxis center I registered for, not just any Maxis center (like KLCC which is more convenient cos workplace is nearer). Aghh.

I updated to 2.3.3 using pc companion with no problems, i didn't loose any contacts or call logs! Hopefully there won't be anymore screen flickers with the update =D

I bought from user lhongwuh, resin arc casing, it arrived like 3 days after I banked in. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry41544715

nope, mine was in the box.
