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:

nReduce your backlight on time.

nTurn Bluetooth off when not in use.

nTurn Wi-Fi off when not in use.

nTurn 4G off when not in use

nTurn 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 phone but is also doing it while using a 4G connection.

nDeactivate 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.
