Yeah definitely. Its good that Maxis is doing this now after so long. Been waiting for this but still phobia of Maxis hidden data charges in my bills last time. The main reason I switched to the yellow side. Need to get over this  sweat.gif

Ah for overusage of data?

Maxis charges PAYU once data limit over, and gives you full speed also.

And doesn't prompt you when you reach the amount.

But now they will send you SMS once your quota reaches 80%.
And now you can 'top up' when your quota reaches.
You can also check quota usage via USSD codes.

So its much safer and cheaper now.


Added on March 2, 2012, 10:28 amIn the past it was Rm0.10/10kb
Which is crazy expensive, now its RM0.30/mb

Last time really curse maxis for the extremely high data charges.
*
Ohh so last time no prompt. If got prompt no problem, plus like you said can check with USSD.

Ok la, settle

Seems like many of u guys have crappy digi reception. My DiGi reception here in sarawak still not bad, can get 3g signal in most areas i go, but i usually just use E for whatsapping.

During work, even in KL, when I drive say from KL Sentral to Tun Razak area (etc), I can get my calls dropped one sweat.gif

Was on Hotlink Youth Club during uni days with the Daily/Weekly Blackberry Internet Service subscription. Was using blackberry that moment. Suka suka eat Rm1 or rm2 credit each day. Had to call customer service every weekend to ask them to rebate back to me. Their system says that I'm using GPRS but I subscribed to the BIS data, which should allow me to surf. So every week I had to call to ask them to rebate, kinda fed up with it so i switched away. Happened to all my friends using prepaid data too.
*
Ah ok, yea the whole BIS issue. Hmm change to postpaid la tongue.gif

The Green is indeed bucking up their game.
But for existing postpaid customers like me, they do not allow changing to Internet Value Plans

Maybe it'll work if I port-out and then port back in  hmm.gif

How often can one port around? Like I port to green today tmrw can port back to yellow?

I switched from green to blue a few years back. headache every month.

When the bill DUE for the month and haven't pay, don't even honor credit limit, directly cut off access. :s
So after 1+ year switched back to maxis.


Added on March 2, 2012, 10:42 amPort in and out, cannot be so quick. Usually they ask if its at least 3 months old.

Hmm 3 months, not too bad. Guess not on contract got advantage also laugh.gif

QUOTE(erymanthus @ Mar 2 2012, 10:55 AM)
Dont't worry.

With maxis, now you can dial *136*9# to check your data usage every now and then if you are concern.

With 3G Watchdog or Onavo, you can monitor your data usage too.

I have been using Maxis 3G data plan since my SGS days from Sept 2010 until now...and never been overchanged a single time.....so, if you monitor your data and be careful, you don't have to worry.

At least you get decent speed.

Digi plan is unlimited but once you exceed, they throttle and slow you down until it's unusable which is as good as no data plan...it is just a marketing gimmick..."unlimited"...

Just my 2 cents...
*
Yeah the unlimited is bollocks. 5kbps do what rubbish lol

once S2 gets ICS, would that mean the 2 touch sensitive buttons on the bottom will become useless?

Doubt so. Nexus is on screen keys, doesn't mean other manufacturers will follow suit. It can be tailored to the available buttons

It can still be used. In my galaxy note running leaked ICS all the 3 buttons are functional - menu, back, home
Should be similar for sgs II

Cool. Thought it would be that way.

So multitask menu is still brought up via long press home button right?

From the leaked roms, yes, the multitask menu is brought up using the home button.

Quite the bummer

ICS focus was quick multitask, having a dedicated button is faster than holding down the darn home button tongue.gif

Yeah, I agree. I guess they want to maintain continuity with Gingerbread for mainstream users. I've been using the home button a lot in ICS (multitasking etc); I worry I may be wearing it too much. Starting to feel less responsive these days after about a month of ICS haha.
*
Yeah. ICS aside, guess they have to maintain the general operation of S2 for current users. Not everyone so savvy and adapt to new usage if they change it laugh.gif

That's my worry, and my main problem with S2. I hate physical buttons at the bottom

Was actually hoping some custom ROM dudes would change the menu button to dedicated multi-tasker.

Then they'll probably need to have a settings quick button somewhere in notification pulldown, just like stock ICS laugh.gif

You hate physical buttons? shocking.gif i totally love the home button, not a fan of capacitive buttons. I heard can enable nexus on screen buttons on s2 too, but need do some editing. I remember slekerz uses on screen buttons the last time he post a screenshot of his s2 running ics.

As for me, not a fan of on screen buttons. Im used to touching bottom of screen for spacebar, wonder if any nexus accidentally hit home instead of spacebar or not hmm.gif
*
Haha preference I guess.

Nah don't want on screen with the wasted space at the bottom, my sentiments about Nexus tongue.gif

I like One X, large screen with buttons occupying bottom space. The more screen the happier I am (yes I know you're gonna say go get Note lol)

My 91 hrs without reboot on RP 1.3 gone. Just flash latest siyah.

Woot his last one on GB. Give us feedback if bagus, maybe weekend I flash it smile.gif

CODE
this will be the last GB kernel release of SiyahKernel. If there is a bug in config interface I may update it (even without changing the version) but the kernel files will no longer be updated.


Let's see what his final GB kernal file brings us

Sup guys. how's the weekend treating you'll so far? biggrin.gif

Right so today after watching a movie in Klang, went to Digi Jusco (need to separate supp line so both can port to the new Maxis plan), but they were like need to do in service centre which was open until 1pm only. And I'm not around next week sweat.gif
Any idea if 1Digi is malls like Gardens/Pyramid handles these kinda things as well? (only got time to go after work).

Oh Siyah now, everything's running smooth, quick and stable (ondemand + bfq + undervolt currently). Do miss NEAK colors somewhat (not just brightness, I believe color/saturation is a little different) but think I'll stick to Siyah for a while. Also, swiping notifications seem a tad easier now, dono it's coz Siyah touch sensitivity better or what. Maybe just my imagitnation, entahlah laugh.gif

So overall, looks like my setup will stay at CRV6 + Siyah 2.6.13 + TB, till ICS launches and stabalises, and kernels and what nots are more developed for ot tongue.gif

I have been using Neak Kernel 1.3.3x for a few days.

Just now I flashed to Siyah 2.6.13...but noticed that the screen is much dimmer and colour less contrast... cannot get used to it....cham leh.......so flashed to Neak kernel 1.4 again...

QUOTE(antt00 @ Mar 3 2012, 08:22 PM)
You can change kernel setting to increase brightness. For now you can use scripts or through the default.profile file. When the xan's app is ready you can change the brightness setting through the app.
*
It's not just brightness. Don't know exactly the term, but loosely speaking something along the lines of contrast/color saturation. NEAK's colors are more pleasing to the eye in a sense.

For some reason I have better touch sensitivity on Siyah. Plus waiting for the new app to come out plus it's a good kernel overall, so I'm gonna stick to it.

But yeah, abit not used to the colors

(No it's not brightness, I usually use low brightness on NEAK. Cranking up brightness to match the default lower setting does not solve it)

Well picture quality is a function of software implementation as well, so it could probably have effect

Yeah siyah uses hardcore's mdnie settings that may not suite everyone. Touch sensitivity is something i like about siyah and redpill. Dunno neak got or not.

NEAK takda kot. Was on 1.3.3x and 1.4, and was having those swipe notification issues I mention. Patutla..

Now on Siyah so much easier to swipe. Just like u said, it's all good.

Hmm Siyah's color (apart from brightness) is not closer to stock colors?

I dunno what stock color saturation is like.  tongue.gif  Maybe when got time will flash back CF kernel and see. But I dun have complain so far on the screen colors.

Haha I change between Siyah and NEAK, can't remember what stock looks like as well tongue.gif

But yeah, I notice it but it doesn't bother me much. I'm ok with stock saturation as well iirc

Siyah seems to have a good balance in standby battery and usage battery as well, imo

CR V6 is super unstable for me. Mess up my phone. Have to be careful what kernel you flash. Have to flash twice to fix market prob and what not. Need to flash so many patches to make it compatible with latest jkay. So frustrated end up going back to stock rom. God forbid if you ever lodge a compalain on their thread. Just gonna get accused of your system being messy shakehead.gif

Thank god doc finally released HD V7. Much more stable and less drama.
*
Haha yeah v6 did cause quite a commotion. Didn't help especially since they went about delaying it to release a "masterpiece"

Differs from people to people I guess. V6 has worked without flaw for me from day 1. Only kernels I've used is Siyah and NEAK though on it.

Edit : dude above me, thumbnail or just link the picture la, no need post the whole darn thing
