Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of the
screen. The following symbols are used:
Icon
Network (full signal): The number of bars indicates the strength of the signal.
More bars mean a better signal.
Sprint Spark Enhanced LTE data service: Your phone is connected to the
Sprint Spark enhanced LTE network. The rays spin when data is being transferred.
3G (data service): Your phone is connected to the 3G network. When the icon is
animated, your phone is transferring or receiving data.
Browser
Your phone's Web browser gives you full access to both mobile and traditional websites on the go
using 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi data connections.
SSL/TLS
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are protocols for encrypting
sent/received data. While in a screen connected by SSL/TLS, data is encrypted to safely
send/receive private information, credit card numbers, corporate secrets, etc., and provide
protection against online threats (eavesdropping, falsification, impersonation, etc.).
SSL/TLS Cautions
When opening a secured page, users must decide as their responsibility whether or not to open
the page with use of SSL/TLS. Sprint and the applicable Certification Authorities make no
guarantees whatsoever to users regarding security of SSL/TLS.
