When i connect my wi-fi and browse the internet, does Maxis still charge my 3G data usage?

Else how do i save my data consumption by switching to wi-fi only?

Make sure you check 3G and Cellular Data off.

Check for dead pixel if can.
Check for yellow banding if can
Try to make a call on the spot and see if the other person can listen to you if can
Try the sounds to make sure the speaker works if can

There's a guide in the thread you read and you did you not read this? >>> Important check points for iPhone 4 Buyers

After you have gotten your iPhone, please read this as well: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/868281
Wifi is wifi. 3G is 3G.

If you're using Wifi, just turn of the 3G connection in the iPhone and you will not be charged+save your data consumption.

Guys, remember when Maxis (and subsequently, also DiGi) did not allow us to change the APN info? I remember when I was on Maxis 2 years ago and I did not have the option to disable the APN, unless I installed that operator update. I have tested with just WiFi, and then WiFi with 3G APN setting turned on. Apparently, my credit (I was on hotlink) reduced dramatically when I was on Wifi with 3G APN turned on. This happened to me and my friends.

Of course, things have changed since then...Maxis bringing in iPhone officially, etc. so I do not know if it is still the same case.

How do i check both "3G and Cellular Data" is off?
From Settings>Carrier>??? (Mine is Automatic)

Q1. Is there any other alternative to key in passcode (others than numeric).
Example, Draw a Zorro (Z) to unlock the phone.

Settings > General > Network

Make sure you have iOS 4.0 or higher to turn off cellular data.

As for your other question, nope. You should change to Android if you want that option.

- any additional recommendations?

1. You wouldn't know unless you try all the method stated on Apple's page - Google it. If the recommended methods cannot restore your Wifi - it is hardware problem. If it can rectify your problem - it is software problem.

2. Google the fix. Look for Apple's recommendations.

3. Check Garage Sales - there are a couple shops. I only know of one in Berjaya Times Square and one in Taman Cannaught Giant.

4. Try the recommendations by Apple.

5. Same as number 2 & 4, try Apple's recommendation. If they cannot fix your phone, you are out of luck. Go find the store that can restore it for you. Your phone is 3G, so I assume the warranty period has passed, and you cannot send it back to Apple for a fix.
