messaging, one of the following data networking connections must be 
available:
•GPRS
•EDGE
•3G
•4G
•HSPA
•Wi-Fi

Your device is configured with the GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 4G, or HSPA 
network available with the service provider of the SIM card installed in 
your device. However, this is only limited to text messaging. If a Wi-Fi 
connection is currently available, the device automatically uses the Wi-
Fi connection to access the Internet. The Internet connection through 
GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 4G, or HSPA becomes temporarily inactive, until the

Wireless & networks, then touch Wi-Fi to disable it.

to its factory default settings.
 
NOTE: Your device has the ability to maintain a constant Internet 
connection through Wi-Fi or data networks (GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 4G, or 
HSPA). However, Wi-Fi connection has priority over mobile network 
connection if both are available.
To check the current Wi-Fi network connection
From the status bar:
When your device is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon 
 in the status bar indicates the signal strength (number of bands 
that light up). If Wireless & networks→ Wi-Fi settings→ Network 
notification is enabled, the   icon appears in the status bar as the 
device discovers an accessible Wi-Fi network within range.

Wireless & networks→ Wi-Fi settings.
2Touch the Wi-Fi network that the device is currently connected to 
(labeled Connected). A window opens displaying the Wi-Fi

and IP address.
 NOTE: If you want to disconnect the Wi-Fi network from your device, 
touch Forget on this window. You will need to configure the Wi-Fi
