Power Saving Settings
Control your device’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:
Settings 41
● Reduce your backlight on time.
● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
● Turn 4G off when not in use.
● Turn 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 device but is also doing it while using a 4G connection.
● Deactivate 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.
● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.
● Turn off Automatic application sync.
● Use the Power saving widget to deactivate hardware functions such as Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
● Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery resources.
● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
● Animated wallpapers use an increased amount of power and memory. Change your Live
Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
