That would happen to me frequently. When you’re talking on the phone, so your cheek doesn’t press anything on the screen, just hold down the button to turn the screen black.

When turning your phone tilt the top toward you and it will quickly change the screen orientation.

when I answer the phone, by placing it to my ear, it hangs up on people. Am I supposed to close the shell? If another call comes in, how do I put them on hold? Help, this is annoying.

Here is another trick to save some power. Put the phone in Airplane mode and then turn on the WiFi. no incomming calls but most of the data tools work. Don’t forget to turn the Airplane mode off if you want to make a call or leave the wifi area.

To extend battery life and avoid dropped calls set the phone to Sprint only under the preferences on the phone tab. This made a huge difference in battery life and improved phone reception and lowered dropped calls (even thought you would expect auto roam to improve reception).

They should add back the auto text in messaging as well as the emotion button. They also need a yahoo IM.

I am still trying to figure out the security certificate issue on my work wi-fi (iphones connect right up).

When the advanced gestures are on and you want to go “back”, all you have to do is a half swipe to the right of the button. So start at the far right of the gesture are and swipe most of the way toward the button and that will work as back.

YOu can increase batery life but disabling some features. Go through these steps.

1. Navigate to location services
Turn off auto locate
Turn off Use GPS
Turn off background data collection
(WHen you start up google map or sprint navigation it will prompt for current location and to restart GPS) THIS HELPS A TON!!!

2. Turn off WiFi if not in use
3. Turn off bluetooth if not in use

Sorry, but common sense would suggest that if you are not in WiFi range – traveling or not in the area of an available connection – you should turn it off. WiFi saves battery over EVDO only if you are actually connected to a wifi router.

To conserve battery, its told to leave WiFi on. That is wrong. If left on the device is constanstly searching for a server. By doing this, it runs the battery down. Leave WiFi off, bluetooth off, and email push on manual. Manual checks the email everytime you get on the device and its a few seconds to push through. Do this and your battery will last a good while. Mine has lasted a day and a half so far.
