May I know how to prevent my iPhone from using data? [I've tried fake APN]

Greetings.
I'd like to see the help of the community, for this problem has persisted for a month plus. Being unable to use my prepaid credit and having it deducted for no reason can be a little frustrating.
So here's what I've done so far.
1. I've updated my iPhone 2G to the latest iOS, the 3.1.3
2. I've googled my problem and found a few solutions (like iphonenodata.com and unlockit.co.nz) however they were of no help to me.
3. I've called my carrier, and they've helped me blacklist my number under GPRS to prevent cellular data usage, however the problem still persisted. To my surprise.
So, my question is.. why is it that the problem persists after having to take so many actions? I've noticed on the blog on which I found the information regarding the iphonenodata.com that some users still have this problem even after installing it.
Is it because the fake APN does not work for iPhones with iOS 3.1.3?
Are there any known solutions to preventing cellular data usage for iPhone 2G with iOS 3.1.3?
Please help me, thank you very much for your time.
Btw, I live in Malaysia. Just in case the carriers in other countries can actually fix this problem.
P/s : I know for a fact that this is a common problem and that the community may even be exasperated by how many people who'd actually start a new thread and all, but I do ask of you to take 5 minutes just to help me out? (: it will be very much appreciated.

Thank you for the replies.
Yes Michael. It is still deducting data charges despite the fact that they've told me they have disabled cellular data access. My previous carrier (I've switched carriers, just to try my luck.) even had an investigation team for my case, however, the solution that they came up with was to refund my credit deducted (which they claimed was only RM2.10, but I didn't make a big fuss about it) so that I can monitor my prepaid credit for any further data charges. The minute they refunded the amount, instantly RM1.80 was deducted. It was deducted so fast that I didn't even get to see my credit go up to RM2.10, it was instantly RM0.30.
I'll make a call to my carrier tomorrow regarding this issue. My previous carrier couldn't solve the problem, and didn't do any follow-ups. However, in the event that they cannot help me, what do you suggest I do?
Thanks again for your replies.

May i know how to uninstall the IOS7 from my iphone 4? I wish to get back to the IOS6

may i know how to uninstall the IOS7 from my iphone 4s? I wish to get back the IOS 6

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

What exactly is using data and how can i keep it from using data when im not using my phone?

So i have an iphone 4 and i have used a lot of data this month(like almost 2GB) and i have barely touched my phone outside of wifi areas. I always shut down any apps that use data like youtube, funnypics, facebook, etc. but i do play some games during my breaks at work but they dont require data to play so to my knowledge those games arent using data(or are they?) i just need some help figuring out exactly what on my phone is using data all the time so i can turn it off. Is it icloud? Emails on auto update? Offline game apps(minecraft, sonic dash, the Mr. Series games?) Do all apps use data regardless? Somebody please answer me. And No im not buying a bigger data plan. 2GB is my limit but it seems as though i am hitting that easily with my iphone but the rest of my familyis usually miles away from 2GB and they all have Samsung Galaxy S4s.

My first stop would be in Settings > Cellular if you are on iOS 7. This has a lot of goodstuff. you can turn off cellular data as a who, see your current usage and even see which apps have used data and how much. You can even turn off individual apps form using cellular data (restricting them to wifi only).
I hope this helps!

The passcode lock code at the iPhone 4 was broken into by a program from Internet. ( By connecting the phone to a PC that program tells the passcode) Does someone knows how to prevent unauthorized opening of iPhone? How to secure the passcode ?

My daughter has an iPhone 4 secured with passcode lock. A visitor in their house took her unattended iPhone, connected to the PC, from a certain program got her pascode and did open her phone to go through her private messages. Does someone knows how to prevent this? How to secure the Phone from unauthorized opening?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions!!!

Hi igmusla,
It seems someone has stolen your daughters phone there is an application called FindMyiPhone if she had location services on and the thief hasn't disabled it you can possibly track the phone down. Sadly you cannot stop the thief from gaining access to her phone and personal information. Please report your phone stolen to your local police station and call Apple aswell, they can possibly put a lock on your phone aswell as put it into a carrier block which prevents the thief from calling anyone or putting a new sim card in it.

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

My iphone 5 using other account, now i would like to change another apple ID. May i know how to change it?

sir,
im using iphone 5 & using other apple ID, but now, i would like to change another apple ID on my phone. may i know, how to change it & what is the procedure?

Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores. Tap on the Apple ID, choose to sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Do the same thing there.... Or, I think you may have to 'Delete Account', but choose to keep the data on the phone.

Thank you.

Let's try the following document with that one.
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
(If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

How does one prevent unathorized iPhone or iPad data sync

It has come to my attention that syncing an iPad or iPhone is relatively easy. So, here is my question, let's say my iPhone or iPad was stolen or maybe "barrowed" by someone and that person decides to sync the data from the iPhone or iPad to there Mac or PC laptops? Now all my information, such as contacts, notes, etc, contained in the iPhone or iPad is synced and transfered to the other persons computer. Even if my device was not stolen, if a person wanted to sync my important data form my iPhone or IPad is possible thus my data would be stolen. This type of data breech could happen at work, home, conventions, hotel rooms, etc... Yes, I know you can do remote wipe-out of data, assuming that you have noticed the thief or your device being "barrowed". So, is there a lock-out to prevent unathorized syncing of data from iPhone or iPad device? I was hoping for a setting that required an access code prior to syncing data, but no such setting exist. Before answering this question please read carefully what I am asking. Thanks.

A passcoded iPhone running iOS4 will not sync with a new computer until the passcode is entered into the phone. You do not need the erase function to be activated for the data to be protected.
I am looking for a way to prevent other accounts on the same mac from being able to sync with my iphone. It seems once you have authorized the iphone on a mac it allows all accounts to access the iphone through iTunes and iPhone Explorer.
Does anyone know how to remove the iPhone/Mac syncing permission once it has been granted?

OK. Although it won't result in any quick fix you should submit this bug to Apple at:

I need help, I use my phone for everything enclusive to work. I appreciate if you can help. I'm from Brazil. My name and giullia.

Did you purchase this device from Apple or an authorized reseller? It sounds as if you had a device that was jailbroken/hacked to operate on your carrier. Upon updating the iOS, it is now locked back to the original carrier the device was locked to.
Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to make contact with that carrier and see if they provide unlocking services, and if they do, if you qualify for an unlock. Otherwise, you are out of luck. One that carrier can take care of the unlocking.

ITunes error: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. is preventing my iPhone from syncing. How do I fix it?

The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. is preventing my iPhone from syncing. How do I fix it? I have changed permissions until blue in the face. What is going on? Why is this so hard? I just want to sync my phone.
A little background. My iTunes library is in a shared folder. My Aperture library is on a .DMG in the shared folder with "ignore permissions on this volume" checked. I have added myself with read and write privileges to everything that I can find. What gives? Thanks in advance.

PC, windows7, iphone4, updated iphone (5.0.1) and itunes (10.5.2.11) software. Started getting "iphone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" message.
Solution I found that worked: Uncheck "Sync photos from Iphone" in Itunes / Devices / Photos tab.
