Mobile AP
This feature allows you to turn your phone into a
Wi-Fi hotspot. The feature works best when used in
conjunction with 3G data services.
Important!
The Mobile AP service can not be active at
the same time as Wi-Fi. Please close your
Wi-Fi connection prior to launching the
Mobile AP service.
To activate the Mobile AP service:
1. Press ➔ and then tap
(
Settings
) ➔
Wireless and networks
➔
Tethering and portable hotspot
.
2. Tap
Mobile AP
and place a checkmark in the
adjacent field to activate the service.
3. Tap
Mobile AP settings
➔
Configure mobile AP
and write down the Network SSID name. This
name is generally
AndroidAP
.
4. Confirm the Mobile AP service icon
appears at the top of the screen.
Note:
By default, the connection is open and not
secured. It is recommended that you access
the Mobile AP settings and create a secure
connection by using a password for
communication.
Note:
Using your 3G service and Mobile AP Hotspot
drains your phone’s battery at a much faster
rate than when using any other feature
combination.
The best way to keep using the phone as a
hotspot is to have it connected to a power
supply.
To connect to the Hotspot:
1. Enable Wi-Fi (wireless) functionality on your
target device (laptop, media device, etc.).
2. Scan for Wi-Fi networks from the device and
select your phone hotspot from the network
list.
