Can't get internet on galaxy five without wifi

I can get internet on my phone when hooked up to wifi at my house but when out and about I can't get the internet even though I have cell service. I made sure I'm not on airplane mode and have wifi turned off. I'm pretty much an electronics idiot, but I can't believe I'm so bad that I can't do something simple as this. Have any idea what I may be doing wrong? working

When you're at home, you're connected to your own wifi for which you have entered the password into your phone at some point. If you're away from home, you would need to be either connected to an open wifi network (not password protected) or have the password to any wifi hotspots your phone sees. Go into your wifi settings and see what networks are available. You will see a signal strength indicator next to each wifi network name, and also an icon that indicates whether the network is secured or not. If you tap on any of the networks, the open ones should allow you to connect, and the secured ones will ask you for the password. Your phone can't automatically connect to any secured networks unless it has the password. For any networks that don't require a password, you may still need to tap that network in your wifi list so your phone knows you want to connect to it, and your phone will then connect to it automatically whenever you're nearby, unless you're already connected to a stronger wifi network.

SOURCE: Does leaving a cell phone charger plugged in to an outlet at home,without having the phone charging in it,drain energy from your home?

Yes. You are right. Here energy is not the criteria. It is always safe to unplug the charger (when not in use) to prevent the damage of a cell phone due to accidental over load of electricity or short circuits. Moreover Chargers do draw power when plugged in, whether or not a device is actually being charged.
If the charger is plugged in someplace easy to access, like right by where you keep your phone, you should unplug it. But if it would be difficult to have to plug it in every time you need to use it, you'll be fine just leaving it plugged in..and.It still uses energy even when not charging. Any electronic device plugged in a socket uses energy whether it is in use or not.

I have T-Mobile 4g galaxy avant android phone. I do not have coverage n my ares 4 the Internet. Cam I hook WI-FI up 2 my desk top and accessories the inn tenet via my home wi-fi

You can get WI-FI anywhere WI-FI is available with a smart phone.
But if you only have a modem at home and an ethernet cable from the modem to your computer to get internet, then you may not have WI-FI at home.
You'll need to get a wireless router to have WI-FI at home.
Once you do that, you can continue to have your desktop hooked up by the ethernet cable, but you can also install a WI-FI adapter card in your desktop. It will have an antenna on the back of your computer and then you can set it up anywhere in your house and have internet without an ethernet cable.

Can some one give me a free network pin code for my tmobile sony xperia z1s

Sorry. I think you are asking something what is not possible. Your phone does connect to the provider, with a sim card. it has an unique code and you can't copy it. Your provider does need this information, to bill your usage on the phone network. Without a Sim, no connection to the phone network, because no cell tower will connect you. (No service on the phone)

As soon as you want to work on WiFi, you need a WiFi router close to the phone. The maximum distance a WiFi router can be away is about 100 meters in open air. In a house or building it is much less.
To connect to such a wireless router, you need to have permission from the owner. Because he (most of the time) did setup the router with an identification name and a password. All connections you can see under settings and WiFi, are close to you. The ones you see with a little padlock are protected with a password. The ones without a padlock are open.
To access the internet yourself, you should have an internet connection in your house and a wireless router.
So I'm afraid without a sim or without an open WiFi connection to the internet, no soup for you. Pin codes won't work without any connection.

After using wifi, i cannot connect internet through mobile data unless I switched it off and on...what seems to be the problem? please help...

I have found that if i leave my wifi on and wander away from a source that I am logged into, my phone will return to 4G until the next time it finds another wifi source. Then the problem is that if the wifi is unlocked my phone will auto connect. If you don't log into the wifi it just sits there without 4g or wifi. I suggest turning off wifi anytime your not intentionally connecting to a known source.

Wifi for my Tablet

Thank you for the Video, this made it much easier for me to determine the problem. You are correct, you have WiFi, this is not the problem, the problem is with the Tablet's WiFi Service which is freezing, thus not causing you to access WiFi.

Have you installed any new software lately? Something has broken the WiFi software on your Tablet. If you installed a new App recently, remove it to see if that new App broke your WiFi software on your Tablet. If you have not installed anything new on the Tablet maybe the manufacture downloaded an update that broke the WiFi on the Tablet. If you recently received an Software update from the manufature, let perform a Factory Resetr on the tablet to fix the issue.

Cannot connect samsung Galaxy tab to internet

Your question is very messy. I don't understand what are you trying to say.

Connecting to Internet need WiFi (your home wifi through your router, cafe wifi hotspot, etc) or GPRS (data connect through your carrier/SIM, like 3G, 2G, HSDPA, Edge).

For WiFi, normally you'll need a security key.

For GPRS, you'll need some settings from your carrier.
