Abstract: Various connection parameters of a wireless local area network ‘WLAN’ may be saved in a WLAN client device in a connection profile, even if the WLAN client device is unable to connect to the WLAN.

Abstract: A method and associated apparatus for using visual separators to indicate additional character combination choices from a disambiguation function on a handheld electronic device.

Abstract: A wireless local area network ‘WLAN’ client device has one or more virtual private network ‘VPN’ profiles defined therein. In response to the WLAN client device connecting to a WLAN, a user of the WLAN client device is able to indicate whether to attempt to establish a VPN connection over the WLAN.

Abstract: A method of enabling the selection of a language to be employed as a method input language by a disambiguation routine of a handheld electronic device having stored therein a plurality of method input languages and disambiguation routine number, includes detecting a selection of a language, detecting as an ambiguous input an actuation of one or more input members, outputting at least a plurality of the language objects that corresponds to the ambiguous input, outputting an indicator which one of the method input languages is currently employed by the disambiguation function, and enabling an alternate one of the input language methods to be selected in response to a selection of the indicator in lieu of one of the plurality of language objects.

Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to mobile devices comprising a processor, a display responsive to the processor, a plurality of wireless communication subsystems responsive to the processor and a memory. The memory stores program code executable by the processor for executing a connection manager application. The connection manager application is configured to monitor and control a wireless connection status of each of the plurality of wireless communication subsystems. The wireless connection status may be one of “off”, “on but not connected” and “on and connected”.

Abstract: A method of enabling input into a handheld electronic device comprises detecting as an ambiguous input an actuation of one or more input members, employing an operative input method language to output a number of objects that are selectable and that each comprise at least a portion of a language object that corresponds with the ambiguous input, outputting at a location adjacent the number of objects an indicator representative of an operative input method language, detecting an input from a multiple-axis input device as being a selection input with respect to the indicator and, responsive thereto, enabling a selection of an alternate input method language as the operative input method language.

Abstract: A wireless local area network ‘WLAN’ client device that has just connected to a WLAN detects that the WLAN is offered by a hotspot, where access to a public network is provided by the WLAN via a gateway. A browser application of the WLAN client device is launched, either automatically or in response to receiving an indication via a user input element of the WLAN client device to register at the hotspot. The browser application is launched with an Internet Protocol address that ought to trigger an Internet Protocol filtering rule of the gateway.
