Wi-Fi
A Wi-Fi network connection is another way to use data services on your device, but, unlike the mobile network, using Wi-Fi
doesn't add charges to your data plan. Your device is designed to try to use saved Wi-Fi networks before it connects to the
mobile network for basic data functions, such as searching the Internet or downloading apps. You can leave Wi-Fi on so
that as soon as you're in range of a saved Wi-Fi network, your device connects to it automatically. Keep in mind that if you
leave the Wi-Fi network connection on, your battery can lose power more quickly.
Connections between devices
USB
You can use a USB cable to create a two-way connection between your device and a computer. Your device appears on
your computer as a mapped drive. You can usually use a USB connection to drag
files between your computer and your
device, depending on the features available on your computer.
Bluetooth technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to create a direct connection between your device and another Bluetooth
enabled device. Although you can transfer
files over a Bluetooth connection, because of its ability to stream content,
Bluetooth connections are more commonly used for actions such as playing the music on your device through a separate
speaker or making calls on a headset that is using your device's mobile network connection.
NFC
NFC is a short-range wireless technology that's used to quickly create connections between your device and other NFC-
enabled devices or NFC tags. With NFC, you don't need to enter pairing information to make a connection, making NFC
useful for on-the-go actions. You can exchange contact cards with people that you meet or grab information from a poster
that contains an NFC tag. Features including Android
Beam, Tap and Pay, and Tap and Go use NFC to transfer
information between devices.
Shared Internet connections
You can use your device's connection to the mobile network to allow other devices to access the Internet. This functionality
is useful if you want to browse the Internet on your laptop or a Wi-Fi only tablet but you don't have access to a Wi-Fi
network.
