Activate Wi-Fi
Using a Wi-Fi connection is generally faster and less expensive than using a mobile 
data connection. If both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections are available, your 
phone uses the Wi-Fi connection.
TURN ON WI-FI
Tap Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi.1. 
Switch Wi-Fi to On.2. 
Select the connection you want to use.3. 
Your Wi-Fi connection is active when  is shown on the status bar at the top of the 
screen. 
Important: Use encryption to increase the security of your Wi-Fi connection. Using 
encryption reduces the risk of others accessing your data.
Tip: If you want to track locations when satellite signals are not available, for example 
when you're indoors or between tall buildings, switch Wi-Fi on to improve positioning 
accuracy.
