Edited by Thor, Sid Bedekar, Eng
Welcome to VisiHow. In this video, we are going to show you how to turn On or Off, the Hotspot sign in options on an HTC One M8.
Steps
- 1To begin, turn the phone on by pressing the power button located on top of the phone.
- 2To unlock the phone, we press down and hold on the screen in the middle until we see the padlock icon and swipe up.Once the phone has been activated, we will see the lock screen.
- 3At the bottom, we will see these icons here.Once the phone has been unlocked, we will see the home screen.
- 4To do that, press down and hold at the top of the screen and then swipe down. The notifications panel will appear.We need to find the Settings menu and to do that, we need to swipe the notifications panel down.
- 5This is our Settings icon. Press down on it and it will open up our Settings menu.In the top right-hand corner of the screen, we can see that there is a white cog icon.
- 6We can see that it says the word "Settings" in the top left-hand corner of the screen.
- 7This is the section we want to be in.Underneath "Settings", there are the words "WIRELESS & NETWORKS" in a gray bar.
- 8Press down on this section.We are looking for the "WiFi" section and next to the word "WiFi" is a WiFi icon.
- 9We want this icon here - in the top right-hand corner of the screen, we can see three white squares in a vertical row. Press down on this icon.Now, we are in the "WiFi" menu.
- 10We want the "Advanced" option. Press down on "Advanced".It will open up our menu.
- 11If we scroll down, we can see we have the "Hotspot sign-in" option. It says, "Automatically open sign-in web pages for Internet access". This option is currently activated. We know that because the box on the right-hand side of the screen is green and has a white check in it. That means that it is activated. What it means is that when we are using hotspots or public WiFi networks, if we go to a website where we need to sign in - where we need to give our password and username - then we won't have to do this. It will automatically open these pages for us if we have those settings setup on those pages - our personal settings that allow us to access those web pages without inputting our password or username. It will continue to do that and it will allow us access to the network. These WiFi networks are obviously unsecured because they are public which means that people may be able to access some of our web pages so we may want to change this option so that we actually have to put our password and username in to access this web page. This will be different on a private network because it is protected by a password and we won't have this option but on hotspots and public WiFi networks, this may be an option for us.Here, we have a lot of advanced WiFi options.
- 12If we want to deactivate this option and not allow the HTC One M8 to grant us access to pages automatically without having to sign in, then press down anywhere on this section and it will take the check away and make the box white.
- 13However, if we like the easy access and if we like that it automatically opens these web pages for us when using a WiFi hotspot and that it doesn't ask for our password, then press down on the box so that the check has appeared and the box is green again.
