jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY
device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to
purchase the connector cable.

When establishing your Sprint service, please call

Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS),
analog cellular, and landline communications.
Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted
when received by public safety answering points

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.”

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).

If

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.

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

www.sprint.com/coverage on the

Web.

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.

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

[e-mail] 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.

Note: The Sprint 4G network is self-discoverable, which

means no additional steps are required for your device
to connect to it.

Sprint 3G network (EVDO). When the arrows
are white, your device is transferring data (for
example, when you are opening a Web page);
