   1. From the home screen, tap the All Apps icon.
   2. Scroll to and tap Settings.
   • Ensure that the Mobile data switch is enabled.

   3. Scroll to and tap System updates.
   4. Tap Update PRL and wait until it completes.

4. Do you know if other Sprint customers are experiencing the same problem in the same location?

5. Temporary solution: Connect to a Wi-Fi network.

   You can connect to a Wi-Fi network as a temporary solution.

   Note: Most Wi-Fi networks have a range of less than 100 feet indoors and up to 300 feet outdoors. Objects between the router and your HTC Ocean may decrease the signal strength.

   Connecting to a Wi-Fi network may also improve battery life.

Note: To optimize device performance, be sure your HTC Ocean is running the most recent device software. Check for software updates.

If you're still having issues, please contact Sprint Customer Care for more help.
