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.
Turn on Wi-Fi if it’s not already on.
In the Wi-Fi settings screen, check Network notification.
You can uncheck this option to stop receiving notifications.
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 must also add a Wi-Fi network to connect to it, if the
network does not broadcast its name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range of it.
To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator to learn what security scheme
is deployed on it and to obtain the password or other required security credentials. For more information
about installing secure certificates, see “Working with secure certificates”.
Turn on Wi-Fi if it’s not already on.
If you’re adding a Wi-Fi network when first setting up your phone, Wi-Fi is turned on automatically.
In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network (at the bottom of the list of discovered networks).
Enter the SSID (name) of the network. If the network is secured, touch the Security menu and then touch
the type of security deployed on the network.
Enter any required security credentials.
Touch Save.
The phone connects 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.
Forget a Wi-Fi network
You can make the phone forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you added— for example, if you
don’t want the phone to connect to it automatically or if it is a network that you no longer use.
Turn on Wi-Fi if it’s not already on.
In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch & hold the name of the network.
Touch Forget network in the dialog that opens.
