Sprint Connections Optimizer  
The Sprint Connections Optimizer is a tool that automatically selects the best mobile network for  
your phone, including "remembered" Wi-Fi networks.  
About Sprint Connections Optimizer  
The Sprint Connections Optimizer helps you manage and enhance your data experience by finding  
and connecting to "remembered" Wi-Fi networks on your phone. Remembered Wi-Fi networks are  
networks with which you have previously chosen to connect. Active Wi-Fi connections may offer  
improved performance and generally improve battery life while allowing you to talk on the phone and  
use data at the same time.  
The Sprint Connections Optimizer works by searching for available "remembered" Wi-Fi networks. If  
you do not leave your Wi-Fi antenna on all the time, you will only notice the Sprint Connections  
Optimizer operating at certain times of the day in a small number of locations on the Sprint network.  
Your Wi-Fi antenna will conserve battery by scanning for connections periodically (not continuously),  
and if no connection is achieved, the antennas will be turned off. You may also manually turn the  
antennas off during the scan period.  
To facilitate quality assurance and enable feature enhancements, information is collected about your  
battery levels, Wi-Fi and Sprint Network connections, and usage. No personal information is  
collected.  
Enable Sprint Connections Optimizer

Power Saving Settings  
Control your phone’s data delivery and battery usage through this settings menu.  
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:

Reduce your backlight on time.  
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.  
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.  
Turn 4G off when not in use  
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 phone but is also doing it  
while using a 4G connection.  
n
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.  
Settings  
209  
     
n
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.  
n
n
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.  
n
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your  
battery resources.
