ⅷ Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. (See "Turning Wi-Fi On and Off" on page 177.) ⅷ Turn 4G off when not in use. (See "Turning 4G On and Off" on page 180.) ⅷ 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 devices but is also doing it while using a 4G connection. (See "Sprint Mobile Hotspot" on page 181.) ⅷ 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 211.) ⅷ 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. ⅷ Turn off Automatic application sync. (See "Synchronizing Accounts" on page 73.) ⅷ Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting. (See "Adding and Removing Widgets" on page 35.) ⅷ Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery resources. (See "Viewing Battery Use" on page 70.) ⅷ Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications. (See "Manage Running Services" on page 84.) ⅷ Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications that are still running. These minimized applications can, over time, cause your device to "slow down". (See "Using the Task Manager" on page 84.) ⅷ Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image. (See "Changing the Display Screen" on page 70.) 22 2A. Device Basics
