To receive notifications when open networks are in range
By default, when Wi-Fi is on, you receive notifications in the
Status bar when your phone detects an open Wi-Fi network.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Network notification
to checkmark the box.
Touch again to remove the checkmark and stop receiving
notifications.
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 is in range. You can also add a Wi-Fi network manually if it does
not broadcast its name (SSID) or if you want to add a Wi-Fi
network when you are 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.
2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network .
3. Enter the Network SSID (name) of the network.
4. Touch the drop-down menu arrow in the Security box, then
touch the type of security used on the network.
5. Enter the required passwords and security credentials.
6. Touch Save .
The phone will connect to the wireless network. Any
credentials that you entered are saved, so you are
connected automatically the next time you come within
range of this network.
