the Network. If you have selected a Secured Network, enter the Password and touch
Done to make the connection.
When your phone is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon appears in the
Notification Bar and indicates the approximate signal strength (number of bands that
light up). If the Network notification in the Wi-Fi settings is enabled, this icon appears in
the Notification Bar whenever the phone detects an available wireless network within
range.
Next time you use your phone to detect Wi-Fi Networks, you will not be prompted to
enter the Network Key of the previously accessed Wi-Fi Network (unless you perform a
"Hard Reset" which will erase any custom settings on your phone).
