● 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
phones 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 phone.
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.
