Connections Optimizer
The Connections Optimizer is a tool that automatically selects the best mobile network for your phone, including "remembered" Wi-Fi networks.
About Connections Optimizer
The Connections Optimizer helps you manage and enhance your data experience by finding and connecting to "remembered" Wi-Fi networks on your phone. Remembered Wi-Fi networks are networks with which you have previously chosen to connect. Active Wi-Fi connections may offer improved performance and generally improve battery life while allowing you to talk on the phone and use data at the same time.
The Connections Optimizer works by searching for available "remembered" Wi-Fi networks. If you do not leave your Wi-Fi antenna on all the time, you will only notice the Connections
Optimizer operating at certain times of the day in a small number of locations on the network.
Your Wi-Fi antenna will conserve battery by scanning for connections periodically (not continuously), and if no connection is achieved, the antennas will be turned off. You may also manually turn the antennas off during the scan period.
To facilitate quality assurance and enable feature enhancements, information is collected about your battery levels, Wi-Fi and network connections and usage. No personal information is collected.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your phone and another Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing for fast, secure connections while bypassing the discovery and authentication process.
Pair Your Phone
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap the check box next to your device name to make your phone visible. Your phone must be visible to successfully pair with an external device. If you want to search a new device, you also need to make that device visible.

Pairing between two Bluetooth phones is a one-time process. Once a pairing has been created, the phones will continue to recognize their partnership and exchange information without having to re-enter a passcode again.
Disconnect a Paired Phone
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the device and your phone, but retains the pairing. At a later point when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no need to setup the connection information again.
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. In the Bluetooth devices section, touch the device name to disconnect.
