Connecting to Mobile Networks

When you assemble your phone with a SIM card from your wireless service provider (as described in “Getting Started” on page 19), your phone is configured to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice calls and for transmitting data.

Different locations may have different mobile networks available. Initially, your phone is configured to use the fastest mobile network available for data. But you can configure your phone to use only a slower 2G network for data, to extend the life of your battery. You can also configure your phone to access a different set of networks entirely, or to behave in special ways when roaming.

The status bar indicates which kind of data network you’re connected to and the overall voice and data network signal strength:

Connected to the fastest 3G networks (UMTS or HSDPA)

Connected to the second-fastest network (EDGE)

Connected to a 2G network (GPRS)

The more bars are lit, the stronger the wireless signal

Connected to another wireless service provider’s network (roaming)

When you’re connected to slower networks, you may wish to postpone using your phone for data-intensive tasks until you are connected to a faster network again, or find a Wi-Fi network to connect to (see “Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks” on page 52).

To check which provider’s network you’re using

1 Press HOME > MENU, and then touch Settings, to open the Settings

application.

2 Touch Wireless controls > Mobile networks > Access Point Names.

The name of the wireless service provider you’re currently registered with is selected in the list.

Connecting to Networks and Devices 51

To disable data when roaming

You can prevent your phone from transmitting data over other carriers’ mobile networks, when you leave an area covered by your carrier’s networks. This is useful if you chose a cell plan that doesn’t include data roaming, to control expenses.

1 Press HOME > MENU, and then touch Settings, to open the Settings

application.

2 Touch Wireless controls > Mobile networks, and then uncheck Data

roaming.

With Data roaming unchecked, you can still transmit data with a Wi-Fi connection (see “Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks” on page 52).

To limit your data connection to 2G networks

You can extend your battery life by limiting your data connections to 2G networks (GPRS or EDGE). When you are connected to a 2G network, you may want to postpone activities that transmit a lot of data (such as sending, uploading, or downloading pictures or video) until you are connected to a faster mobile or other wireless network.

1 Press HOME > MENU, and then touch Settings, to open the Settings

application.

2 Touch Wireless controls > Mobile networks, and then check Use only 2G

networks.

To edit or create a new access point

If you and your wireless service provider determine you need to change the settings of your current access point name (APN) or to create a new one, you must obtain the access point name (APN) and detailed settings from your provider.

1 Press HOME > MENU, and then touch Settings, to open the Settings

application.

2 Touch Wireless controls > Mobile networks, and then touch Access Point

Names.

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.

To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you should have access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.” Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others are hidden or implement security features, so you must configure your phone so it can connect to them.

Tip Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery.

The status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi status:

Connected to a Wi-Fi network (waves indicate connection strength)

Notification that an open Wi-Fi network is in range

When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. You can configure the phone with a fixed IP address and make other advanced settings by pressing MENU, and then touching Advanced (see “Advanced Wi-Fi settings screen” on page 211).

To turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a Wi-Fi network

1 Press HOME > MENU, and then touch Settings, to open the Settings

application.

2 Touch Wireless controls > Wi-Fi settings.

3 Check Wi-Fi to turn it on.

The phone scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the names of those it finds in the Wi-Fi networks list.

If the phone discovers a network you connected to in the past, it connects to it.

Note Secured networks are indicated with a lock icon.

4 Touch a network to connect to it.

If the network is open, a dialog prompts you to confirm that you want to connect to that network by touching Connect.

If the network is secured, you’re prompted to enter a password or other credentials (ask your network administrator for details).

2 In the Wi-Fi settings screen, check Network notification.

You can also uncheck this option to 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 must also add a Wi-Fi network to connect to it, if it does not broadcast its name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range.

To join a secured network, you will 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.

1 Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.

2 In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network (at the bottom of the

list of discovered networks).

3 Enter the SSID (name) of the network and if the network is secured, touch the

Security menu and then touch the type of security deployed on the network.

Connecting to Bluetooth Devices

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that devices can use to exchange information over a distance of about eight meters. The most common Bluetooth devices are headphones, for making calls or listening to music, and hands-free kits for cars.

There are several Bluetooth profiles that define the features and communications standards for Bluetooth devices. For a list of the profiles supported by your phone, see “Specifications” on page 225.

To connect to a Bluetooth device, you must turn on your phone’s Bluetooth radio. The first time you use a new device with your phone, you must “pair” them, so they know how to connect securely to each other. Subsequently, you can simply connect to a paired device.

Note Turn off Bluetooth when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery. You may also be required to turn Bluetooth off in some locations, such as hospitals or airplanes. Bluetooth is turned off in Airplane mode.

Connecting to Virtual Private Networks

Virtual private networks (VPNs) are a technology for connecting to the resources inside a secured local network from another network. VPNs are commonly deployed by corporations, schools, and other institutions so their users can access local network resources when not on campus.

There are numerous systems for securing VPN connections, including some that rely on secure certificates and other schemes to ensure that only authorized users can connect. You must obtain the security details from your network administrator to configure VPN access from your phone.

Working with secure certificates

If your organization’s VPN access relies on secure certificates, you must obtain the certificates and store them in your phone’s secure credential storage, before you can configure VPN access on your phone.

If your network administrator instructs you to download the certificates from a web site, you’ll be prompted to set a password for the credential storage when you download the certificates. If your network administrator asked you to obtain the certificates in some other way, you will need to use the Security & location settings to set a password for the credential storage first (see “Security & Location Settings” on page 216).

Gmail

Gmail is Google’s web-based email service. When you first set up your phone, you configured it to use an existing Gmail Account, or you created a new account. The first time you open the Gmail application on your phone, your Inbox contains the messages from your Gmail Account on the web.

Gmail is Different

Gmail is web-based Your messages are stored on Google servers, but you

read, write, and organize messages using the Gmail application on your phone or using a web browser on a computer. Because your mail is stored on Google servers, you can also search your entire message history, backed by the speed and power of Google search.

Actions you take in one place are reflected everywhere: for example, if you read a message in Gmail on your phone, it’s marked as read in a web browser; a message you send using a web browser, or even a draft of a message, is visible in Gmail on the phone.

Gmail is conversation-based Each message and all replies to it are grouped

in your Inbox as a single conversation. In other email applications, replies to messages are sprinkled across your inbox, typically by date received, so a message and the replies to it are separated by other messages. In this way Gmail makes it easier to follow the “thread” of a conversation.

Gmail is organized by labels, not folders By tagging messages with labels,

you can organize your conversations in as many ways as you want. In other email applications, each message can live only in one folder. For example, with Gmail you can label a conversation with your mother about your brother’s birthday present with both “Mom” and “Dave.” Later, you can look for the message under either label. Using folders, you’d have to store the message in the “Mom” folder or the “Dave” folder, not both.

Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile: use the web to organize Gmail

example, you can’t use the Gmail application on the phone to create the labels and filters you use to organize your messages, but you can label a message. Gmail on the web also offers a host of information about the service, so it’s the best place to learn about all of the features of Gmail.

The best place to organize and learn about Gmail is the web. For

Gmail is for Gmail Of course you can use Gmail to send email to any email

address and anyone can send email to you at your Gmail address, but if you want to read messages from another email service provider (using your AOL, Yahoo!, or other email account), use the Email application (see “Email” on page 117).

Archiving Conversations

You can archive conversations, to move them out of your Inbox without deleting them.

touch Archive in the context menu that opens.

• When reading a message, press MENU, and then touch Archive.

Synchronizing Your Messages

The Gmail webmail service has enormous resources for storing your messages; your phone does not. Gmail only downloads some of your messages to your phone, to save space. You can set which conversations and labels are kept current on your phone, and how often these are synchronized.

To select which conversations to synchronize

1 Open your Inbox.
