Tips

To remove the ‘E’ or ‘G’ icon on your Nokia Asha 205 Home screen just set your ‘Mobile data connection’ to ‘When needed ‘instead of ‘Always online’. This will also save your battery power.

There is no edit option on your current and newly created access points, all you need to do is to create a new one instead of editing your existing access points.
