WARNING: 911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Facebook FAQ

What are the differences between the Facebook for HTC Sense and the Facebook for Android application?

䢇 Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone

application. It is integrated into People, Friend Stream, and Gallery to give you up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts (their status updates and new photos) in these applications.

䢇 The Facebook for Android application is a

standalone application. Use this application to do most of the things that you would do when you’re using your computer’s Web browser to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and adding captions to photos you upload.

䢇 The two do not share the same login credentials.

Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook application and vice versa. If you want to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same login credentials.

Connecting Using Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your device’s Wi-Fi, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.”

Note: The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends

on a number of factors, including infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.

Turning Wi-Fi On and Connecting to a Wireless Network

1. Press > and tap Settings > 

Wireless & networks.

2. Select the Wi-Fi check box to turn Wi-Fi on. The

device will scan for available wireless networks.

3. Tap Wi-Fi settings. The network names and security

settings (Open network or Secured with WEP) of detected Wi-Fi networks are displayed in the Wi-Fi networks section.

4. Tap a Wi-Fi network to connect. If you selected an

open network, you will be automatically connected

to the network. If you selected a network that is secured with WEP, enter the key, and tap

Connect.

Depending on the network type and its security settings, you may also need to enter more information or choose a security certificate.

When your device is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon ( ) appears in the status bar and tells you the approximate signal strength (number of bands displayed).

Network notification in Wi-Fi settings is enabled, this

icon ( ) appears in the status bar whenever the device detects an available wireless network within range.

Note: The next time your device connects to a previously

accessed secured wireless network, you will not be prompted to enter the WEP key again, unless you reset your device to its factory default settings.

Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for your device to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a user name and password for certain closed wireless networks.

Connecting Using Sprint 4G

Sprint 4G provides your device with wireless Internet access over greater distances than Wi-Fi and delivers data transfer rates of up to 30 Mbps. To connect your device to Sprint 4G network, you need access to a Sprint 4G base station.

For more information about the availability of Sprint 4G in your location, visit Web.

Note: The availability and range of the Sprint 4G depends on

a number of factors including your distance to the Sprint 4G base station, and infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.

Getting Started With Data Services

With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services. This section will help you learn the basics of using your data services, including managing your user name, launching a data connection, and navigating the Web with your device.

Your User Name

When you buy your device and sign up for service, you’re automatically assigned a user name, which is typically based on your name and a number, followed by “@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John Smith to sign up for Sprint data services might have

jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his user name.)

When you use Sprint data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint Network. Your user name will be automatically programmed into your device. You don’t have to enter it.

Finding Your User Name

If you aren’t sure what your user name is, you can easily find it on your device.

䊳 Press > and tap Settings > About phone >

Network > Current username.

Updating Your User Name

If you choose to change your user name and select a new one online, you must then update the user name on your device.

Data Connection Status and Indicators

Your device displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of the screen. The following symbols are used:

Your device is connected to the high-speed

Sprint 3G network (EVDO). When the arrows are white, your device is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page); when the arrows are gray, your device is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open). In either state, you can receive incoming calls.

Your device is on and is connected to the Sprint

1xRTT data network. When the arrows are white, your device is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page) and you cannot receive calls. When the arrows are gray, your device is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you

are viewing a Web page that is completely open), and you can receive calls.

If you do not see an indicator, your device does not have a current data connection. To launch a connection, see “Launching a Web Connection.”

Turning the Data Connection On or Off

Turning your data connection off can help optimize your battery life. It can also save money on data charges. However, when your data connection is turned off, you may not always receive automatic updates to your email, social network accounts, and other synchronized information.
