Extending Your Battery Life

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:

䢇 Reduce your backlight on time. (See “Changing the

Backlight Time Length” on page 63.)

䢇 Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. (See “Turning

Bluetooth On and Off” on page 127.)

䢇 Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. (See “Turning Wi-Fi

On and Off” on page 160.)

䢇 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. (See “Activating Location Mode” on page 185.)

䢇 When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you

have to. (See “Camera Settings” on page 119.)

䢇 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.

Creating Shortcuts

Shortcuts are different than the current Home screen Widgets that only launch an application. Shortcuts activate a feature, action, or launch an application.

Note: To move a shortcut from one screen to another, it must

first be deleted from its current screen. Activate the new screen, and then add the shortcut.

To add a shortcut from the Applications tab:

1. Press to activate the

Home screen.

2. Select a location (screen)

for your new shortcut by scrolling across your available screens until you reach the desired one. (See “Home Screen Overview” on page 28.)

3. Tap t h e Applications

( ) tab to reveal all your current applications. By default, the applications are listed in a Grid view.

4. Scroll down through the list and locate your

desired application.

5. Touch and hold the onscreen icon. This creates an

immediate shortcut of the selected icon and closes the Applications tab. The new shortcut then appears to hover over the currently active screen.

Note: The same shortcut can be added to any of the

available screens (Home or Extended). The application you add to the screen will still appear within the

Applications tab.

6. While still holding the onscreen icon, position it on

the current screen. Once complete, release the screen to lock the shortcut into its new position.

To add a shortcut via the Add to Home screen:

1. Press to activate

the Home screen.

2. Touch and hold on an

empty area of the screen.

3. From the Add to Home

screen window tap Shortcuts.

1. Press to

activate the Home screen.

2. Touch and hold the

desired shortcut. This unlocks it from its location on the current screen.

3. Drag the icon over the

Adding and Removing Widgets

Widgets are self-contained applications that reside in either your Applications tab or on the Home or Extended screens. Unlike a shortcut, this Widget appears as an onscreen application.

Note: To move a Widget from one screen to another, it must

first be deleted from its current screen. Activate the new screen, and then add the Widget.

To add a Widget:

1. Press to activate the Home screen.

2. Touch and hold on an empty area of the screen.

3. From the Add to Home screen window tap Widgets.

4. Tap an available Widget to place it on your current

screen.

䡲 Choices include: Analog clock, Latitude, Music,

Picture frame, Power Control, Search, Sprint Tutorial #1, Sprint Tutorial #2, Sprint Tutorial #3, Sprint Tutorial #4, Sprint Tutorial #5, Voicemail, and YouTu be.

To re mo ve a Widget :

1. Touch and hold a Widget until you can move it

around on the screen.

2. Drag the widget over the Delete tab ( ) and

release it.

䡲 As you place the Widget into the Trash, both items

turn red.

䡲 This action does not delete the Widget, just

removes it from the current screen.

To place a Widget onto a different screen:

1. Follow the steps to remove the Widget from the

current screen (page 37).

Note: A Widget cannot be dragged from a current screen to

an adjacent screen. It must first be removed from its current location, and then added back to a new current screen.

2. Touch and drag across your screen to view other

available screens (page 30).

3. Follow the steps to add a Widget to the current

screen (page 37).

Changing the Screen Orientation

The Samsung Transform™ is capable of automatically changing the orientation of some onscreen content. The device’s built-in accelerometer senses movement and changes its angle/orientation.

This allows the device to change the onscreen content (images, video, Web pages) to properly display based on the current angle (some screens may not automatically change).

Portrait View

Landscape View

Although most screens will change orientation once the QWERTY keyboard is opened, this feature can be manually enabled to change the orientation for all applicable screens when rotation is detected.

Note: An example of a screen that does not automatically

re-orient is the Home screen. This screens requires you slide out the QWERTY keyboard.

An example of a screen that automatically re-orients by moving the device is the Contacts screen. This only requires you to turn the device on its side.

To manually activate the auto-rotate feature:

1. Press > and tap > Sound &

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 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.

Viewing Call Log

Call Log (History) is a list of the phone numbers (or Contacts entries) for calls you placed, accepted, or missed. Call log makes redialing a number fast and easy. It is continually updated as your device automatically adds new numbers to the beginning of the list and removes the oldest entries from the bottom of the list.

The Notification area of the Home screen (upper-left) displays phone notifications, status, or alerts such as:

Call in progress: Indicates there is

a call currently active and in progress.

Missed Call: Indicates an incoming

call was missed.

To access the Call log:

1. Press and tap > Call log ().

2. Tap an entry to view available options.

turned on. If a call is received while your device is turned off, it will not be included in history.

From within the Call log screen, each entry contains the phone number (if it is available) and Contacts entry name (if the number is in your Contacts).
