The Settings Menu
The settings menu is a complex but necessary part of your smartphone. It allows you to
connect to wireless networks, manage the apps stored on your phone, and change your
security settings just to name a few among many options.
You can find the settings menu
either on one of your Home screens or in All Apps.
Once you have opened settings, take note of the magnifying glass in the upper-right. You
may use this to search for a setting; very handy for finding one that's buried several menus
deep!
Read on for an item-by-item breakdown of each part!
WIRELESS & NETWORKS
Wi-Fi: Tap Wi-Fi to enter the sub-menu. Tapping the word "Wi-Fi" enters the sub-menu.
There you may scan for new networks, add one manually, use the Wi-Fi Protected Setup
option, and change advanced network options with the Overflow button.
Connecting to a new Wi-Fi network is a matter of scanning for networks (tap Overflow >
Refresh), tapping the name of the desired network, and entering the password for the
network when prompted.
Forgetting a network is likewise easily accomplished: tap the name of the connected
network and choose "Forget". This is a useful troubleshooting step for network problems, so
keep it in mind.
NOTE:
Exercise caution when choosing a Wi-Fi network. When in doubt, only connect to
networks owned by operators you trust!
Bluetooth: See the previous section on Bluetooth connections.
HotKnot: See the previous section on HotKnot for the details.
SIM Cards: This shows you the status of your installed SIM cards. Each SIM card has an ON/
OFF switch you can toggle independently. If you tap the SIM card's name, you can change the
color assigned to it as well as view its phone number and change its name.
If you have two SIM cards installed, this menu lets you choose which card is used for calls,
data, and SMS messages.
