Nokia S60 V5 Handsets Easy WiFi PDF User Guide

Once the installation has completed, Easy WiFi will automatically start and ask for a default Access Point to connect to. This is a Nokia handset Access Point, not a specific Wi-Fi access point. Typically this Access Point will be called ‘Internet’ and is the Access Point (or Destination as Nokia calls it) with which Easy WiFi will automate connections and logins to Wi-Fi. You must select a default access point, so please select Yes. Once you have selected a default Access Point, Easy WiFi needs to connect to the internet to continue. Easy WiFi will need either a cellular data connection or a usable Wi-Fi connection. By usable, it must be a Wi-Fi connection you have used previously and is part of the “Internet” Access Point you selected in the previous step.

Once Easy WiFi has connected you will be asked to either login in to an existing Devicescape account, or create a new one. Once you have completed this step, select Submit. The following screen shots show these steps: Once you have completed the setup by either signing in to an existing Devicescape account, or signing up for a new one, you will receive the conformation message shown in the next screen shots indicating you now have access. Select OK to continue. Easy WiFi now has to perform a one-time operation to update its network information to allow you to connect to the Easy WiFi Network and other Wi-Fi networks in your account. This may take a few minutes to complete, so please be patient. The screen shot below is displayed while the networks are being updated. Note: On a GPRS or EDGE cellular network, this step may take considerable time, so please be patient. This will be improved in a future version of Easy WiFi. Once the “Updating Networks” step has completed, Easy WiFi should launch and display the map view. The location of this map view will depend on how and when you last used your handset’s GPS function and other factors. You should see a screen like the one show below. Congratulations! You are now set up to use Easy WiFi.

Using Easy WiFi Easy WiFi enables you to easily and automatically connect to the Easy WiFi network, paid networks that you have accounts for, and even your home network. It does this by using an Access Point (in Nokia terminology) called “Easy WiFi” as one of the entries in the “Internet” Destination. If you configure all applications to use the “Internet” Destination, then by default they will use the cellular data connection when one is available. If one is not available, but a Wi-Fi network from the Easy WiFi Network, one of your paid network subscriptions or your home network, if available, will be used instead. Even though Easy WiFi application appears in the list of installed applications on the handset, and you run the Easy WiFi to use the map and to make changes to settings, part of Easy WiFi is actually always running on your handset. By running in the background, Easy WiFi can always be available to connect you to the best available Wi-Fi without you having to log in or otherwise mess with settings. In many cases you will be connecting to either 3G or Wi-Fi and won’t know or care which one. The most visual part of Easy WiFi is the map, which is usually the first place a user ends up after installation. Easy The following two screen shots show the map view for the city of San Francisco. The screen on the left is zoomed out and shows ‘clusters’ of Wi-Fi locations. The one on the right is zoomed in and shows individual locations. You can zoom in and out by using the + and – buttons on the screen. You can move the map to your current location by pressing the locate-me button on the top left corner. You can re-center the map by double tapping a point on the map with the handset’s stylus.

The Easy WiFi Map View You’ll notice in the two previous map views that network location are shown using various different icons. You’ll also notice than the network icons on the zoomed-in view have different numbers of bars displayed. Different numbers of bars and different colors indicate different information about the network locations. Here are all the possible icons you are going to see using Easy WiFi, and what their meanings are: Blue pins. Network locations that you have access to from either the Easy WiFi Network, or from paid accounts that you own. The more bars the better the quality of the location is. Red pins. Network locations that you do not have access to, however they may offer day passes or other options for access. If you don’t want to see these turn off ‘Show Other Networks’ in the settings screen (covered later in this user guide). The more bars the better the location is. Orange pin. Network locations that have not been verified as working recently but may still offer access. Give them a try. A cluster of Wi-Fi locations. There is some Wi-Fi coverage in this area – zoom in to see more detailed information. A The quality is determined by many factors, including how accurate we think the location is, and when the last time somebody connected to the network. Devicescape constantly updates the quality score for network location to ensure you get connected reliably to the best locations. You can also search by entering the name of a location in the search box at the top of the map screen. The following shows the map screen with the city San Francisco being entered in the search box. How you enter text of your handset will vary based on the particular handset model you are using.
