Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your device displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of
the screen. The following symbols are used:
● Your device is connected to the Sprint 4G Network. When only a band lights up,
your device is connected to the Sprint 4G Network but the signal is weak. When your
device detects the high-speed Sprint 4G Network but is not connected to it,
this icon (
) appears at the top of the screen.
● Your device is connected to the Sprint 3G Network. When the arrows are white, your
device is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page). When the
arrows are gray ( ), your device is connected to the network but is not currently
transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely
open). In either state, you can receive incoming calls.
If you do not see an indicator, your device does not have a current data connection. To launch a
connection, see Launch a Web Connection.
