Turn everything (the screen and wireless services) on/off
Usually, turning your phone off and/or putting it in airplane mode is
sufficient for normal periods when you have the phone with you but you’re
not using it. On rare occasions, however, you may want to put your phone
into deep sleep because you are not going to use it for an extended period.
At those times, do one of the following:
• Open Device Info and tap Reset Options. Tap Shut Down, and tap
Shut Down again.
TIP When your phone is in airplane mode, you can turn the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
features on individually (see Turn Wi-Fi on and off and Turn the Bluetooth feature
on/off). To turn your phone back on, you must turn airplane mode off.
