| 1390880 | 2014-12-25 22:56:00 | Trying to connect Galaxy S4 to laptop running 8.1 They can "see" each other but the phone asks for confirmation that a 6 digit number is the correct password. This number changes each time. There is no box or provision to check or enter this number on either device. Where can I find the correct number and where to enter it??? | bugalugs67 (9647) | ||

| 1390884 | 2014-12-26 05:01:00 | Use it as a hotspot if its got the option | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1390885 | 2014-12-26 05:14:00 | Use it as a hotspot if its got the option +1 - if you're wanting to use it for internet this is the easiest way by far. If you want to transfer stuff back and forth use a cable, the charging cable that comes with the phone does the trick. You can also tether the phone with the same cable to share the internet connection but the hotspot option is actually easier most times. both ways work better than bluetooth. |

| 1390887 | 2014-12-26 05:49:00 | The option maybe under settings / wifi. Enable it. It may or should give you a password. Connect it to the laptop, with the pw. After you change the security to WPA2 or higher | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
