QUOTE(jack2001 @ Jul 19 2021, 10:06 AM) I also received the same SMS from Digi but I can still switch to 3G just fine so…idk Location : Alor Setar, Kedah They should postpone 3G sunset by 1Q of 2022 during pandemic not many can afford buy new 4G smartphones !!! Hope Govt should look at it. Since Jendela has been enforced Maxis has been shit. Digi better in terms of speeds and coverage

QUOTE(azhar75 @ Nov 8 2021, 07:23 PM) If the line is not connected to VoLTE, for sure 100% during call, the line will drop to 3G (until 31st Dec) or 2G (After 1st Jan 2022) That’s what I’m experiencing every day.😅 Celcom shut offs 3G in Klang when ever I call some it’s took almost 5 to 10 seconds to switch 4G to 2G then connect call

QUOTE(sadlyfalways @ Nov 8 2021, 08:36 PM) Why don’t you switch to a network that supports volte for you phone ? I already had Digi Maxis with Volte so no bother about that. I bought Xpax just for emergency coz some area where we travel often Celcom shine than those 2 telco. That’s why I’m not bothered P.S Xpax sim was in S21 as per Celcom thread Volte hasn’t been enable yet 😑😬 This post has been edited by NagaK: Nov 8 2021, 09:20 PM

QUOTE(azhar75 @ Nov 8 2021, 09:09 PM) That's not good if the call only passed-thru after 5 seconds "hand-shaked".... but, after call ended, did the line auto-connect back to 4G...? or we need to airplane mode On-Off to force it connect back to 4G...? If 4G coverage strong means it was switched back to 4G between 5 seconds but indoor where most 4G still struggles. After ended up call take about 10 seconds switch back/ sometimes it’s just stuck in 2G so need to force turn on off airplane mode to get back 4G. Only minor times I’m facing but outdoor no issues Such a lame till now Celcom doesn’t enable Volte to prepaid customers whereas I heard now many Hotlink user gotten Volte

QUOTE(azhar75 @ Nov 8 2021, 10:29 PM) LOL... looks like the annual report for year 2022 is as follows: 1) The Worst JENDELA Experience Award = AXIATA 2) The Best JENDELA Experience Award = ...??? Maybe Digi😅 to be honest I’m noticing improvement in my daily usage at their network compared to last 6 months! For best I might go for Digi If there’s more than worst JENDELA experience award = then it should be reserve for dear Ex No.1 4G Maxis😂 they been worst day by day unreliability as well as speed This post has been edited by NagaK: Nov 8 2021, 11:21 PM

QUOTE(eyesee @ Nov 8 2021, 10:20 PM) Yes, having the same problem with Celcom at my office area. Do you have problem receiving calls? Only get missed call sms then know someone tried to call. To receive call need to turn off 4G. Not sure but when I tried to call to Xpax number from Digi I noticed delay to ring , that’s what I experienced when I was used Nokia C1 😓 . Where as devices connected with Volte connect instant.

QUOTE(kanz1986 @ Nov 9 2021, 04:54 PM) Hi guys. Is there by any chance other networks are still providing 3G after the sunset, apart from the Big 4 (Celcom/Maxis/Digi/Umobile)? I heard that it may be extended until March 2022 for the complete 3G shutdown? Some of our industrial IOT devices is still running on 3G and we're trying to buy time as long as we could prior to upgrade the devices. Thank you! Less chance since Celcom shut off 3G major part of Klang and at KL by 11November Digi also as sometime I saw it's switched to 2G only at times

guessing Maxis shutoff 3G in ipoh (gunung rapat menglembu area) those area indoor coverage always sucks 3G most of times. weekend we travelled there Proudly maxis stay at E turn on off airplane mode also faced same issues can't browse anything Where digi luckily didn't fail even tho 4G only gets one bar some time switched to 3G can't imagine the nightmare from Next year since 3G shutoff Nationwide😣😣

QUOTE(moonsatelite @ Nov 15 2021, 08:34 PM) If you're using an iPhone then you're out of luck, Android users can force lock the phone to be on 4G LTE which I'm gonna do if 3G dies Yeah can’t even force to 3G even it had option for it. My dad Note9 with maxis had 4G with no bar at all where iphone stay EDGE forever 🤦🏻

Looks like Maxis officially turn off 3G in Klang area and some part of area I guess no 3G whenever 4G signal is too low it’s switch back to 2G kinda irritates during MySejahtera check in I tried to lock 3G in iPhone but it’s stay in 2G As of now only Digi 3G has been staying for now Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(joshhd @ Dec 4 2021, 09:36 PM) If you encounter issue checking in using MySejahtera due to Internet related issues, you can temporary turn off mobile data or turn on Airplane/Flight mode on your phone first, then only you launch the MySejahtera app to check in. FYI, Internet connection is optional if you just want to check-in usng MySejahtera app. No I always turn off data during MySejahtera check in I no about it actually I’m helped some of them of who are struggling during check in. I meant during we connected with network just as turn on data for all time

QUOTE(bahjan_2000 @ Dec 5 2021, 10:14 AM) But its a hassle isn't  ? Something that should just take 5 seconds.. Yeah but again Maxis users recently facing data issues which is lead us to turn on off airplane mode to reset network 😂 Just a information bro. As Maxis never let us know timeframe of switch of 3G network like Digi Celcom

QUOTE(acbc @ Dec 5 2021, 10:25 AM) Seems like 3G is no more at KD. Yesterday, my laptop's built-in LTE modem struggled to connect 4G and it revert back to 2G all the time. The same goes for my 4G MiFi. Due to poor 4G in KD, it too reverts back to 2G. With 2G, it is useless. Cannot browse or download anything. Only good for pinpointing a location via Google Maps. This is what I’m faced on my iPhone 7 past 2 weeks in Klang area poor 4G signal iOS switching to 2G

Just updated my 7 plus to iOS 15.2 Maxis WiFi Calling is ready to serve users only Maxis site need to enable to users. And IMS status changed to Voice & SMS. As JENDELA kicked looks like Maxis finally follow Digi Umobile tech after 3 years This post has been edited by NagaK: Dec 14 2021, 10:47 AM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(azhar75 @ Dec 14 2021, 11:55 PM) Please subscribe to other telcos for SIM 2 slot as backup ... After 31st March 2022, can stop this backup subscription... Hints : Don't subscribe to Axiata as backup line. For other telcos, pick the cheapest plan (monthly or weekly)... Had secondary phone running on Digi family line rm38 for 100GB😅 so kinda safe for me. But sometimes I won’t bring 2 phones while riding motorcycle that’s where I’m struggle. Another point is: 7 Plus doesn’t has dual sim support hahaha Is that Axiata so bad?🙄

QUOTE(Chrono-Trigger @ Dec 15 2021, 09:42 AM) Why would telcos invest and improve the soon outdated 4G network, when the whole world is moving to 5G? I can understand the reluctance to improve 4G network, as they would rather use the money to invest in technology that would last 10 years, that is 5G. 4G would last longer it’s would be for over decade from now. It’s only choice for telco to reach connectivity on rural areas where 3G was only connection those area’s. I don’t think 5G would be available in most state by 2022/23 unless we believe some miracles since Telco and DNB still having negotiations in 5G So 4G is safe bet . Only thing they need to fix it reliability and connectivity speeds. And also indoor 4G coverages This post has been edited by NagaK: Dec 15 2021, 10:29 AM

QUOTE(MyProLife @ Dec 15 2021, 08:24 AM) I now have Digi and Yes in both sim slots Yes is given for free (for second time , after i claimed first time last year before but soon abandoned) Yes 4g coverage is quite spotty in certain places, at Masjid jamek underground LRT Station, yes outright no line, but digi got line I don't have 5g semakfon and will miss the 5g "trial" by yes anyway. As always "5g is fake" for me lol 5G is not fake only thing is we turtle slow to bring it. Till now Telco DNB haven’t signed wholesale agreement instead now Maxis Digi Celcom demanding separate infrastructure from DNB as dual infrastructure to run 5G services as per current news. DNB 5G news is more fun to watch than political scenario’s 🤣😂
