Smart mode
Wi-Fi connections improve battery life and allow 
you to use voice and data functions at the same 
time. 
Smart mode remembers the locations where you 
spend the most time, and turns on Wi-Fi when 
you are near those places. 
When Smart mode is turned On, the device will 
automatically connect to known networks. A 
known network is one that you have previously 
set up on your device. If you have never 
connected to a network at a location, your device 
will display available networks.
