alas, i'm not alone!

i think there must be the issue of Maxis, not the phone. i'm using a yellowsn0w-unlocked one with Maxis and those problems are common to me, till a stage which i stop bother about it anymore. Maxis service has been kinda bad lately (at least for me). the same happens to my circle of friends who's on Maxis too, which are not iPhone users.

Give me some comment plz thx

the fact is, there will never be problems with the phone, disregard of who activated it, be it Maxis or yourself. the activation process is never a culprit of any problems.

My Maxis iPhone is having good reception. In fact, better than my LG KS20. No prb on reception.

again, this strengthens my claim that the so-called problems is reflected against maxis (area dependent)

if you guys reckon that maxis is bad, try using the optus network 3 weeks ago; i nearly shed a tear.

from the whirlpool forum, i have heard that vodafone's quality is also joining the bandwagon.

so stop complaining and keep hallucinating that you are paying first world price, for third world infrastructures.

Sry double posted,due to my connection..
Can u show me some basic details or example? thx mate

No

Its very simple to activate

Put in your Sim Card and connect the Phone and it will activate it. Usually Maxis would do it for you but its up to you if you want to DIY. I did it myself , plug in the sim card , wait , then connect to iTunes. Just answer a few questions , create an iTunes account or just use one !

Voila its activated

Thx mate! =D i will try it my self then

We're talking a product from Apple here. They just made it to work automagically , plug , play , go through the guided mission steps and that's about it

Please read this thread below as there's guide provided. Please take sometime to read if you can Yuiko001. Read the whole entire thread to know more about the iPhone.

no worry.
drop call is very frequent happen in cheras area when using maxis network

Hi, just got an iPhone from Maxis.
Kinda confused what to do, hope someone can help.

1. Do I need to charge the iPhone for 8hours the first time (like what most ppl tell us to do when we buy new phone)?
Sorry if this has been asked before. But some ppl told me yes, some told me no. So I'm really confused.

2. How come during phone calls or when checking voice mail, the iPhone screen turns blank?
And I can't really do anything to make the screen appear back.
I need to wait for some time and press the sleep/wake button, then only the screen reappears. But by that time my call already ended.

Is this a setting somewhere or is it a defect?


Thanks for any help guys.

1) U dun need to charge for 8 hrs for first use. Just fully charge it and yr good to go.

2) iPhone is smart, it has 'proximity' sensor that when u talk on the fone, it disables the screen so that ur cheek will not accidentaly touches the screen that causes any 'input'. Hence it goes blank. After u talk, wait for 2 seconds, the screen will come back.

Advised you to download the manual from Apple webpage to learn more about the fone.

Thanks stutzedward.
May I ask, how to turn the screen back on manually?
For instance, when I need to key-in some numbers like calling voicemail, or call-centers.

Do a demo, when yr talking half way thru, take the fone away from yr ear, the display will automatically come back in about 2 seconds. It sud work this way.

Not to be rude but i just stunned by those word...

again what these function have to do with the phone.?

nvm then, sorry if i offense you, its just i was stunned by those word//

I think it is a case of him not knowing what the iPhone can and cannot do and thus his surprise when he discovered those functions are non existent.

The new software 3.0 will include those but need to wait till june. but it seems nice and hopefully no major bug.
