Connecting to Mobile Networks
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, your phone is configu\
red 
to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice calls and for transmitting 
data. 
Different locations may have different mobile networks available.  
Initially, your phone is configured to use the fastest mobile network 
available for data. You can also configure your phone to access a different 
set of networks entirely, or to behave in specific ways when roaming.
The following icons in the Status Bar indicate which kind of data networ\
k 
you’re connected to and the network signal strength.
Connected to the 4G network (LTE).
Connected to the EVDO network (EVDO revA).
Signal strength - the more bars that are lit, the stronger the 
wireless signal.
Connected to another wireless service provider’s network 
(roaming).
When connected to slower networks, you may want to postpone using 
your phone for data-intensive tasks until you’re connected to a faste\
r 
network again or find a Wi-Fi network to connect to.
To disable data when roaming
You can prevent your phone from transmitting data over other carriers’\
 
mobile networks when you leave an area that is covered by your carrier’\
s 
networks. This is useful for controlling expenses if your cell plan does\
n’t 
include data roaming.

Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet acce\
ss 
at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your\
 
surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point. 
Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others 
are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure\
 
your phone so it can connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your ba\
ttery.
The following Status Bar icon indicates your Wi-Fi status.
Connected to a Wi-Fi network (waves indicate connection 
strength).
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network 
address and other information it needs from the network, using the DHCP 
protocol. To configure the phone with a static IP address and other 
advanced settings, from the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch
 and hold the 
connected network. Tap Modify network in the Context menu that appears, 
then checkmark the Show advanced options
 checkbox.

 is on the left and the icon is grey-colored, drag

Wi-Fi networks.
2.  Tap a network, then tap 
Connect to connect to it.
   If the network is open, you can connect to the network directly by 
tapping the network name.
   If the network is secured, you’ll be prompted to enter a password 
(Ask your network administrator for details).
   When you’re connected to a network, you can tap the network name 
in the Wi-Fi settings screen for details about the speed, security, 
address, and related settings.

To add a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network so the phone will remember it, along with any\
 
security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it’s in range. You 
can also add a Wi-Fi network manually if it doesn’t broadcast its name 
(SSID) or if you want to add a Wi-Fi network when you’re out of its\
 range. 
To add a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator 
to obtain the password or other required security credentials.
1.  Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on, then tap 
Wi-Fi in the Settings menu.
2.  From the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap the 
Menu Key , then tap Add 
network.

Enter the required passwords and security 
credentials.
5. Tap 
Connect to save the information.
  The phone will connect to the wireless network (if it's currently withi\
n  range). Any credentials that you entered are saved, so you're connected\
 
automatically anytime you come within range of this network.
To forget a Wi-Fi network
You can make the phone forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that 
you added. For example, if you don’t want the phone to connect to it 
automatically or if it’s a network that you no longer use.
1.  Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on, then tap 
Wi-Fi in the Settings menu.
2.  In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch and hold the name of the network  that you want to forget.
