If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably activated and ready to use.

If you received your phone in the mail and it is for a new Sprint account or a new line of service, it is designed to activate automatically. When you turn the phone on for the first time, you should see a Hands Free Activation screen, which may be followed by a PRL Update screen and a Firmware Update screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.

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.

• 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.
