Cannot Connect to the 3G/4G Network

Ensure your computer is connected to the device (through the USB to Micro B cable or Wi-Fi).
See “How Do I Connect to Wi-Fi?” on page 116 or “Making a Tethered Connection” on
page 27
.

Try the tips in “Improving Signal Strength” on page 120.

Check the

WAN Mode

setting (

Advanced settings > WAN > Setup

). For example, if it’s set to

4G only

, you won’t be able to connect if:

You have 4G coverage, but you’re roaming.

You don’t have 4G coverage.

If you’re roaming, ensure that 3G roaming is enabled.

In the Roaming Information window or from

Advanced settings > WAN > 3G

, select

Allow 3G

Roaming

.

Note:

Roaming charges may apply.

Check with Sprint — a network or account problem may be preventing your device from
obtaining service.

Sprint Location Services Aren’t Working or Don’t Seem to Be Available

Ensure that GPS is enabled. See “Enabling GPS” on page 56.

For best results, minimize the number of obstructions between your device and the GPS satellites.

GPS Fix Not Available

Ensure you have a clear view of the sky; if you’re in a forested area, or in or near tall buildings,
move to another location.

To retry a fix, click

Retry Now

. Otherwise, click

Cancel

.

Cannot Check for Updates

Ensure your device is connected to the AC charger or computer, through the USB to Micro B
cable.

Note:

If you’ll be using USB for data transfer (and not just for charging the device), you must install the
device driver. See “Making a Tethered Connection” on page 27.

Sounds Are Enabled, but the Device Doesn’t Generate Any Sounds

Check that sounds are not turned off through the Mute switch on the device. See “Mute Switch”
on page 17.
