zzzzz.... i don't care bout the operator logo.
is there a way to get APN back out? on windows vista. has no plan to jailbreak my phone as of yet or in the near future just yet.
data roaming is damn expensive on maxis man.

well i found out about the carrier update settings. its basically for maxis users only. yes i'm a maxis user, updated it thinking it was some feature from apple... but apparently the carrier setting will disable Maxis's APN. and when you go into Settings > General > Network > you will not see APN anymore to disable the APN (GPRS/EDGE) hence you will be charge when you run anything over the internet when you are not Wifi in ranged.
I put in a Celcom sim card and it worked and the APN was back on.
Then i put in my maxis card again... once more its missing (bloody hell)
Then for ppl like me, that didn't want stupid GPRS/Edge charging me like crazy, I went to put in Celcom sim, let that APN to appear, and took out the celcom and put in my maxis > unlock the sim password > went to APN setting ASAP and i saw Network : Maxis || Username : WAP || Password : xxX(can't remember)
and I changed all 3 of those. hence now i don't see APN, and i can't use EDGE/GPRS.
blehh....

if u leave your APN blank username blank, password blank - when you click maps/applications/stock/safari etc and it loads, EDGE/GPRS is in use. if u put something anonymous on the APN like "xxx", "nothing", then it will find that carrier setting which is "xxx", "nothing" which it memang doesn't exist and it will not charge.
To all that has "Carrier Settings" are available - are meant for maxis users only. Celcom and Digi or even UMobile will not get this settings.

what i did was... restore to factory setting using itunes. all applications, phonebook, sms, camera rolls, are all saved. mp3 and vid are the only thing u'll need to resync.
have fun. it only takes 1hour.
and remember after the restore and prompt you "Carrier Settings Update Available" CLICK CANCEL!
