Turn 4G off when not in use. (See “Turning 4G On

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.)
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.)
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.
