Hello and welcome to VisiHow. In this video we're going to show you how you can search for Network Operators in your location on an HTC One M8.
Steps
- 1To begin, turn the phone on by pressing the Power button located on top of the phone.
- 2Once the phone has been activated we'll see the Lock screen.
- 3To unlock the phone, press down on the screen, hold down until we see the padlock icon, then swipe up.
- 4Once the phone has been unlocked we'll see the Home screen and at the bottom there will be some icons.
- 5To do that, we need to swipe the Notification panel down. To do that, press down on the top of the screen, hold down, and swipe down.What we now need to do in this video is to find the Settings menu.
- 6In the top right-hand corner of the screen, we can see that there is a white cog icon. This is our Settings icon.We can see that the Notification panel has appeared and we are looking for an icon.
- 7We can see that it says the word "Settings" in the top left-hand corner of the screen.Press down on the icon and it will open up our "Settings" menu.
- 8We want to be in this first section, it says the words, "WIRELESS & NETWORKS" in this grey box.
- 9They might be green if this option is turned on or they might be grey if it is turned off. But this is more than an option, it actually opens up a menu.We are looking for this option called "Mobile data." We can see next to this option there are two arrows, one pointing up and one pointing down.
- 10Press down on the words, "Mobile data" and we will see it actually brings up a menu for us, bringing up some other options.
- 11If we have dual SIM activated. Make sure we choose the right one.We want this option, "Slot 1 network." We can of course, use "Slot 2 network," depending on where the SIM card is, depending on which one we are using.
- 12We only have one: "Slot 1 network."Press down on the option we want.
- 13Then we have this option at the bottom called "Network operators." We are going to press down on this option.
- 14Now it's going to search for all available networks. The reason we may do this, especially if we are traveling using Data Roaming, this option gives us the option to find different Network Operators. Some may have lower prices. If we know their rates or their tariffs then we'll be able to choose the operator that is best for us. Not just the one that the phone automatically connects to when we are traveling, or when we are using Data Roaming, or another network provider.Then we have the option to "Search networks." "Search for all available networks." Press down on this option.
- 15GCELL is the one we are currently connected to, that's why there's a star next to it. There are two others that we may also be able to connect to and this actually gives us the option to be able to select from different Network Providers and Network Operators. If we do want to choose one of these just press down on one of their names and that will allow us to try to connect to them. Some we may be able to connect to, and some maybe not, depending on our situations.We can see then, that it has brought up all our available networks.
- 16If you have any questions or comments about this video or about the process that you've seen in this video, then please leave them in the comments section below and we shall answer them for you. Goodbye.This then, concludes our tutorial on how to search for Network Operators in your location on an HTC One M8.
