Networking

A number of applications, such as Browser and YouTube, need to access the Internet for proper operation. Data transfer over regular mobile service can use up bandwidth and rack up substantial charges. The best idea is to use Wi-Fi networks for data transfer.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network

Open Apps > Settings and turn on Wi-Fi.

In Starter mode: Apps > Settings > Wireless & network > Wi-Fi

Note

It is also possible to access the Wi-Fi settings from the Notifications panel.

Joining a Wi-Fi Network

Tap Wi-Fi,select a network from the list of detected Wi-Fi networks, enter a password if necessary, and then tap Connect. Networks that require a password appear with a lock symbol.

After the smartphone connects to a Wi-Fi network, the smartphone automatically connects to the Wi-Fi network any time it is available.

Adding Wi-Fi Networks

Tap SCAN to rescan for available networks. If a desired network does not appear in the networks list, tap ADD NETWORK. Enter the network name, specify the security type, enter the password if it is not an open network, and then tap Save to finish.

Forgetting Wi-Fi Networks

Any network that has ever been used, including the current network, can be forgotten so that the smartphone will not automatically connect to it. Tap an undesired network and tap Forget.
