Data connection

When you turn on HTC Desire 300 for the first time, it will be automatically set up to
use your mobile operator's data connection (if the SIM card is inserted).
Turning the data connection on or off
Turning your data connection off saves battery life and money on data charges.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap
2. Tap the Mobile data On/Off switch to turn the data connection on and off.
If you don't have the data connection turned on and you're also not connected to a
Wi‑Fi network, you won't receive automatic updates to your email, social network
accounts, and other synced information.
Adding a new access point
You can add a new Access Point Name (APN) when roaming or if you have difficulty
establishing a data connection. APNs connect HTC Desire 300 to data networks for
services such as mobile web browsing.
Before you add another data connection, have the access point name and settings
from your mobile operator ready (including username and password if required).
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap
2. Tap Mobile data > Access point names.
3. On the APNs screen, tap
4. Enter the APN settings.
5. Tap > Save.
6. Select the new APN on the APNs screen.

Managing your data usage

If you're on a limited data allowance, it's important to keep track of the activities and
apps that usually send and receive data, such as browsing the web, syncing online
accounts, and sending email or sharing status updates.
