Reducing the Backlight Brightness and Backlight Timeout 1. From the Home screen, tap the Menu key. 2.

Go to the Home screen and tap the Menu key. 2. Then select Wallpaper -> select the desired Wallpaper option, except Live Wallpapers. 3. Select the wallpaper that you'd like to use and tap Set wallpaper.

If the Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot setting is active, tap More -> select Tethering & portable hotspot -> uncheck Portable Wi-Fi hotspot if the feature is enabled.

Select System settings -> Location services -> and uncheck Use GPS satellites. 3. When finished, tap the Back key.
