hey it's Joe from pocketnow.com with an Android quick tip alright today's quick tip comes from a real world experience of mine not long ago I went traveling just across the state but I went through some very very rural areas I don't even know if girls the right word for it it was so far out in the middle of nowhere but I still had data coverage that's what amazing and it was GPRS not edge or even 3G but I still had data I was still able to get Google Maps but there might be a time when I don't want to do that I don't want to get gouged for data prices while roaming somewhere else so how can I do away with that well androids got two ways that you can do that first of all if you go to your settings and I'm just on the home screen here so we'll go to menu and settings and wireless and networks the first thing we can do is set airplane mode on this is going to turn off all of the radios in the phone if you need to save battery that's a very good tip in and of itself but this is also going to turn off your phone radios so if you still want to be able to make and take voice calls that's probably not the best thing for you but if if you don't care about that you just want to be able to use your phone as a PDA go ahead and toggle airplane mode and you're good to go but let's say you don't want to do that let's come all the way down here to mobile networks and you'll see here my data is enabled and data roaming is on if you don't want to roam toggle that now when you lose coverage from your native provider in my case t-mobile I'm not going to date a Rome and I'm not going to worry about any of those roaming charges so with today's Android quick tip I'm Joe for pocketnow.com if you thought this was a worthwhile tip give us a thumbs up as always subscribe to our YouTube channel to keep up to date with all of your mobile news and more importantly to get more of these Android quick tips and of course head on over to pocketnow.com to see all of our non-video related articles
