Control your device’s data delivery and battery usage through this settings menu.
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your
battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
●
Reduce your backlight on time.
●
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
●
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
●
Turn 4G off when not in use
●
Turn off Sprint Hotspot (Wi-Fi hotspot) services when not in use. This is one of the
largest drains on your battery as it is not only transmitting a Wi-Fi connection to your
device but is also doing it while using a 4G connection.
●
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will
periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your
battery.
●
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device.
Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the
storage capacity of any battery.
●
Turn off Automatic application sync.
●
Use the
Power saving
widget to deactivate hardware functions such as Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
●
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming
your battery resources.
●
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
●
Animated wallpapers use an increased amount of power and memory. Change your Live
Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
