Internet connections

Your device allows you to access the internet either
through a wireless LAN (WLAN) or a mobile phone that
supports Bluetooth wireless technology.

Connectivity settings

To edit and create internet connections and to adjust
connection creation logic, tap
Control panel > Connectivity.
On the General page, define the following settings:
Connect automatically—Select which connections are used
automatically. This setting applies only to networks and
connections you have saved in your device.
Search interval—Define how often connections are searched
in the background.
Tip: Once you have saved one or more
WLAN(s) in Tools >Control panel
Connectivity > Connections, the device
searches for those connections every 10
minutes by default, while there is no ongoing
connection. To disable the search in the
background in order to save battery power, set
the search interval value to Never.
, and select Tools >
>
On the Idle times page, select the time after which the
internet connection ends automatically if the connection
is not used. Use Packet data idle time
data connections (such as GPRS),
circuit-switched data calls (such as GSM data call), and
WLAN idle time for connections created through a WLAN
access point.
Note: Time-based charges may apply to the
internet connections. Check with your
service provider, and adjust the idle times
accordingly.
Note: The network may also have idle timers
that may cause the internet connection to
break, regardless of the idle timers of the
device.

WLAN connection

When you access an application that requires an internet
connection, the device uses the WLAN connections you
have saved by default. If you have not saved any
connections or they are unavailable, you are asked to
select the connection (internet access point) to use. You
can save the network after selecting it from the list.
