Web and Data

Your phone’s data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, 4G, EDGE, GPRS, and Virtual
Private Networks (VPN).

The following topics address your phone’s data connections and the built-in Web browser.

Wi-Fi

Wi-

Fi provides wireless Internet access. To use your phone’s Wi-Fi, you need access to a

wireless access point or “hotspot.”

The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including
infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.

Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network

Use the Wireless & networks setting menu to enable your

phone’s Wi-Fi radio and connect to an

available Wi-Fi network.

1. From the Home screen, tap Apps

> Settings > Wi-Fi.

2. Tap the ON/OFF switch to turn Wi-Fi on. The network names of detected Wi-Fi networks

are displayed.

3. Tap a Wi-Fi network to connect. If you selected an open network, you will be

automatically connected to the network. If you selected a network that is secured with a
password, enter the password and then tap CONNECT.

Depending on the network type and its security settings, you may also need to enter more
information or choose a security certificate.

When your phone is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon

appears in the status

bar and tells you the approximate signal strength. (The above icon indicates maximum signal
strength.)

If Network notification in Advanced Wi-Fi settings is enabled, the open network icon

appears

in the status bar whenever the phone detects an available open wireless network within range.

Note: The next time your phone connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network,

you will not be prompted to enter the password again, unless you reset your phone to its
factory default settings or you instruct the phone to forget the network.
