you’re not actively using. (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you’re using an app that makes use of it).
Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other apps
if you don’t need it.
The Basics
Use the Battery saver feature (accessed in the Settings menu) to control
data activity, Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth connection, and power used for the phone such as screen brightness and notification light.

screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you can browse through the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vise versa), slide the screen up or down to scroll a list, or remove an app from the Recent apps screen by flicking its graphic off the screen.
Double-tap Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn
the screen off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web page to zoom that section to fit the width of the screen and control the zoom in Maps and in other apps. Double-tap a word to highlight it. Double-tap can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the touchscreen on or off.
Pinch-to-zoom Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch motion (to
zoom out) or spread motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map, photos, the rear camera lens, the Contacts list, the Favorites list, the Groups list, the Messaging list, a music list, and POLARIS Viewer 5 documents. Spread apart to make screen information larger (easier to see and read), or pinch together to view more area and information. The pinch gesture also changes the Home screen. Pinch in on the Home screen to change to mini panel view, then spread apart to return to the normal Home screen view.

Connecting to Mobile Networks

When you buy your phone and sign up for service, your phone is configured to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice calls and for transmitting data. Different locations may have different mobile networks available. Initially, your phone is configured to use the fastest mobile network available for data. You can also configure your phone to access a different set of networks entirely, or to behave in specific ways when roaming.
The following icons in the Status Bar indicate which kind of data network you’re connected to and the network signal strength.
Connected to the 4G network (LTE).
Connected to the EVDO network (EVDO revA).
Signal strength - the more bars that are lit, the stronger the wireless signal.
Connected to another wireless service provider’s network (roaming).
When connected to slower networks, you may want to postpone using your phone for data-intensive tasks until you’re connected to a faster network again or find a Wi-Fi network to connect to.
To disable data when roaming
You can prevent your phone from transmitting data over other carriers’ mobile networks when you leave an area that is covered by your carrier’s networks. This is useful for controlling expenses if your cell plan doesn’t include data roaming.

Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point. Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your phone so it can connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery.
The following Status Bar icon indicates your Wi-Fi status.
Connected to a Wi-Fi network (waves indicate connection strength).

Verizon Messages

The
Verizon Messages
app
are all pre-loaded on your phone to send messages. Verizon Messages is an integrated messaging app that allows you to send and receive messages on your phone, tablet, and PC using your mobile phone number.
Text and multimedia messages sent or received using your mobile phone number from all of your devices (phone, tablet, and web) will be visible on Verizon Messages. Messages sent using other messaging apps may be delivered differently and therefore may not be available in Verizon Messages.
Verizon Messages has many extra features not found in other messaging apps. Glympse lets you choose people who can track your location on a map which can help you to be able to meet up. You can see all of your shared media from your phone, tablet, and PC which allows you create a variety of projects with the apps.
