Your device is on and is connected to the Sprint 1xRTT data network. When the arrows are white, your device is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page.); when the arrows are gray, your device is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open.) If you do not see an indicator, your device does not have a current data connection. To launch a connection, see "Launching a Web Connection." Turning the Data Connection On or Off Turning your data connection off can help optimize your battery life. It can also save money on data charges. However, when your data connection is turned off, you may not always receive automatic updates to your email, social network accounts, and other synchronized information. 1.
