Facebook FAQ
What are the differences between the Facebook
application and Facebook for HTC Sense?
Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone
application. It is integrated into People, Friend
Stream, Gallery, and Calendar to give you up-to-date
information about your Facebook contacts (their
status updates and new photos) in these
applications.
The Facebook application is a standalone
application. Use this application to do most of the
things that you would do when you’re using your
computer’s Web browser to access your Facebook
account, such as adding a friend and sending
Facebook messages.
The two do not share the same login credentials.
Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign
you in to the Facebook application and vice versa. If
you want to use the same Facebook account for
both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same
login credentials.
Note: While on the Facebook home screen, press and
then tap Settings to set refresh and notification options.
On some Facebook screens, you can press and hold
an item to open an options menu.
Note: The widget will only link to the Facebook account that
you logged into on the Facebook app.

Camera Flash FAQ
Why doesn’t the Camera flash turn on?
The flash light quickly consumes battery power. To
save battery power, the camera disables the flash light
or locks it to Flash off mode (even when you have set it
to Auto flash or Flash on) when one of the following
occurs:
You have an incoming call. If you have set the flash
light to Flash on, it turns back on after you answer
and end the call.
Your device’s battery power is running low. Recharge
the battery so that the camera can have enough
battery power to use the flash light.
Cold weather lowers battery performance and affects
the flash light. To make sure the camera has enough
battery life to power up the flash light, keep your
device warm. When not in use, put the device inside
your jacket to keep it warm, and try to avoid sudden
temperature changes that may affect battery
performance.
Note: You can turn off the Auto focus and Face detection
features in the camera settings.

TV FAQs
1. Will I know if I’m receiving an incoming call while I’m
viewing or listening to a media clip?
No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while
you are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a voicemail,
you will see the voicemail icon on the screen.
2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated
time it will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a
listing of the available clips, with each clip’s length
displayed after the clip’s title. In general, a clip’s
duration will depend on the story or content being
provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a
few minutes.
3. Can I access a clip wherever I am, as long as I have
my device?
As long as you are on the Nationwide Sprint
Network, you will have access to the audio and
video clips.
4. Are the videos that I’m viewing “live” videos?
It depends on the content provider. Some of the
channels available through Sprint TV & Movies
stream live content. Others provide media on
demand with video and audio clips that are
refreshed throughout the day, but those are not
“live.
5. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a
monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is,
how do I know it has been purchased?
The next time you access the channel, you bypass
the Preview/Purchase dialog box and go directly to
the available content.
6. If I don’t subscribe to a data plan, will I still be able to
view the multimedia clips?
Yes. For service access charges, please consult
your Sprint service plan or visit www.sprint.com.
7. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see
the word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?
This happens when the device is loading the data
necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when
there is heavy traffic on the network.
Note: Sprint TV service does not work while roaming off of
the Nationwide Sprint Network or where service is
unavailable.
