Checking Signal Strength and Phone Status

You can monitor the status of your device’s signal strength and several other items, using icons in the title bar of the Phone application.

 

Sprint

Your phone is on and you’re inside the Sprint National Network. If

 

 

 

you are outside a coverage area, No Service or Roaming appears

 

 

 

instead. No Service means that there is no coverage at all, and

 

 

 

Roaming means that another wireless service provider’s network

 

 

 

is available. When you turn off your phone, Phone Off appears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your phone is on and is connected to the high-speed Sprint Mobile

 

 

 

Broadband data network. When the triangles are blue, data is

 

 

or

being transferred (for example, when you are opening a Web

 

 

 

page); when the triangles are gray, you are connected to the

 

 

 

network but data is not currently being transferred (for example,

 

 

 

when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open). In

 

 

 

either state, you can receive incoming calls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your phone is on and is connected to the Sprint (1xRTT) data

 

 

 

network. When the arrows are green, data is being transferred (for

 

 

 

example, when you are opening a Web page) and you cannot

 

 

 

receive calls. When the arrows are gray, you are connected to the

 

 

 

network but data is not currently being transferred (for example,

 

 

 

when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open), and

 

 

 

you can receive calls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your phone is on and you are within range of a Sprint data

 

 

 

network, but you do not have an active data connection. You can

 

 

 

receive incoming calls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Location ON option has been selected. The icon appears with a

 

 

 

red slash when the 911 only option has been selected. See

 

 

 

“Setting Phone Preferences” on page 91 for information.
