through a wireless network (WLAN/Wi-Fi) or a mobile
phone that supports Bluetooth wireless technology.
Connectivity settings
To edit and create internet connections, and to adjust
connection creation logic, tap
, and select Settings >
Control panel . In Control panel , select Connectivity .
On the General page, define the following:
Connect automatically —Select which connections are
used automatically. This setting applies only to networks
and connections you have saved in your device.
Search interval —Define how often connections are
searched in the background.
On the Idle times page, select the time after which the
internet connection ends automatically if the connection
is not used. Use
Packet data idle time for packet-switched
data connections (such as GPRS), Data call idle time for
circuit-switched data calls (such as GSM data calls), and
WLAN idle time for connections created through a WLAN
access point.
Note: Time-based charges may apply to the
internet connections. Check with your
service provider, and adjust the idle times
accordingly.
Note: The network may also have idle timers
that may cause the internet connection to
break, regardless of the idle timers of the
device.
WLAN connection
When you access an application that requires an internet
connection, the device uses the wireless network
connections (WLAN/Wi-Fi) you have saved by default. If
you have not saved any connections, or they are
unavailable, you are asked to select the connection
(internet access point) to use. You can save the network
after selecting it from the list. However, if your network
name is set as hidden, you must configure the settings
manually.
To set up a wireless network connection manually, tap ,
and select Settings > Control panel . In Control panel ,
select Connectivity > Connections > New . The connection
setup wizard opens. Select Next to proceed.
