Connecting to Networks and Devices
CREATE GROUP – Touch to activate group owner mode, which enables the
legacy Wi-Fi devices to connect by scanning your phone.
NOTE
When your phone becomes a group owner it will consume more battery power than
when it is a client. The Wi-Fi Direct connection does not provide Internet service. As
a result, additional costs may be incurred when connecting and using online services.
Check data charges with your network provider.
