Connecting to Networks and Devices

Bluetooth

You can use Bluetooth to send data by running a corresponding application,
not from the Bluetooth menu as on most other mobile phones.

Turning on Bluetooth and pairing up your phone with a Bluetooth
device

You must pair your device with another device before you connect to it.

1. On the Home screen, touch > Apps tab > Settings > Bluetooth

from the WIRELESS & NETWORKS category.

2. Touch the switch

to turn Bluetooth on. Your phone will scan for

and display the IDs of all available Bluetooth in-range devices. If the
device you want to pair with isn’t on the list, make sure the target device
is set to be discoverable, then tap Search for devices.

3. Choose the device you want to pair up with from the list. Depending on

the type of device, you will have to confirm pairing, enter a code, or it
will automatically pair.

4. Once the paring is successful, your device will connect to the device.

Sending pictures using Bluetooth

1. Open the Gallery and touch a picture, then touch

> Bluetooth

2. Check if Bluetooth is on, then select Search for devices.
3. Choose the device you want to send data to from the list.

Sharing your phone's data connection

USB tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspot are great features when there are
no wireless connections available. You can share your phone's mobile data
connection with a single computer via a USB cable (USB tethering). You can
also share your phone's data connection with more than a single device at a
time by turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.

When your phone is sharing its data connection, an icon appears in the
Status Bar and as an ongoing notification in the Notifications Panel.
