Power Saving Settings

Control your phone'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.
n
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
n
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
n
Turn 4G off when not in use
n
Turn off Sprint Hotspot (Wi-Fi hotspot) services when not in use. This is one of the largest drains
n
on your battery as it is not only transmitting a Wi-Fi connection to your phone but is also doing it
while using a 4G connection.
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically
n
query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.
