Getting started Androidwhat and why? Your Xperia from Sony runs on the Android platform. Android devices can perform many of the same functions as a computer and you can customize them to your own needs. For example, you can add and delete applications, or enhance existing applications to improve functionality. On Google Play you can download a range of applications and games from a constantly growing collection. You can also integrate applications on your Android device with other applications and with online services you use. For example, you can back up your contacts, access your different email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of your appointments, and engage in social networking.

Android devices are constantly evolving. When a new software version is available that your device supports, you can update your device to get new features and the latest improvements.

Your Android device comes pre-loaded with Google services. To get the most out of the provided Google services, you should have a Google account and sign in to it when you first start your device. You also need to have Internet access to use many of the features in Android.

New software releases may not be compatible with all devices.

Screen protection

Before using your device, remove the transparent protection film by pulling up on the protruding tab.

It is recommended to protect your device with a Sony-branded screen cover or protector intended for your Xperia model. The use of third party screen protection accessories may prevent your device from working by covering sensors, lenses, speakers, or microphones and it can invalidate the warranty.

Turning the device on and off

To turn on the device

1 Press and hold down the power key until the device vibrates. 2 If your screen goes dark, briefly press the power key to activate the screen. 3 To unlock the screen, swipe up or down on the screen. 4 Enter your SIM card PIN when requested, then select OK. 5 Wait a while for the device to start.

Your SIM card PIN is initially supplied by your network operator, but you can change it later from the Settings menu. To correct a mistake made while entering your SIM card PIN, tap .

To lock the screen manually When the screen is active, briefly press the power key .

Setup guide The first time you start your device, a setup guide opens to help you configure basic settings, sign in to some accounts, and personalize your device. For example, if you have a Sony Entertainment Network account, you can sign in to it and start enjoying music, videos, and games from the Sony Entertainment Network on your device. Or you can create a new account directly on your device.

You can also access the setup guide later from the settings menu.

Sony Entertainment Network with Video Unlimited and Music Unlimited is not available in every market. Separate subscription required. Additional terms and conditions apply.

To access the setup guide manually 1 From the Home screen, tap . 2 Tap Settings > Setup guide.

Accounts and services Sign in to your online service accounts from your device to get easy access when you're on the move. For example, you can integrate contacts from your Google account into your Contacts, so you have everything in one place. You can sign up to new online services from your device as well as from a computer.

Google account Having a Google account is key to using a range of applications and services with your Android device. You need a Google account, for example, to use the Gmail application in your device, to chat with friends using Google Talk, and to synchronize the calendar application on your device with your Google Calendar. You also need a Google account to download applications and games, music, movies, and books from Google Play.

Using the touchscreen A protective plastic sheet is already attached to the screen of your device when you buy it. You should peel off this sheet before using the touchscreen. Otherwise, the touchscreen might not function properly.

When your device is on and left idle for a set period of time, the screen darkens to save battery power, and locks automatically. This lock prevents unwanted actions on the touchscreen when you are not using it.

To flick

To scroll more quickly, flick your finger in the direction you want to go on the screen. You can wait for the scrolling movement to stop by itself, or you can stop it immediately by tapping the screen.

Sensors Your device has sensors that detect both light and proximity. The light sensor detects the ambient light level and adjusts the brightness of the screen accordingly. The proximity sensor turns the touch screen off during voice calls when your ear is close to the screen. This prevents you from unintentionally activating other functions on your device when you are engaged in a call.

Battery

Charging the battery Your battery is partly charged when you buy your device. It may take a few minutes before the battery icon appears on the screen when you connect the charger cable to a power source, such as a USB port or a charger. You can still use your device while it is charging. Charging your device over a long period of time, for example, overnight, does not damage the battery or the device.

1 Plug the charger into a power outlet. 2 Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a

computer). 3 Plug the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your device, with the

USB symbol facing up. The notification light lights up when charging starts. 4 When the notification light is green, the device is fully charged. Disconnect the

USB cable from your device by pulling it straight outward. Make sure not to bend the connector when removing the cable from the device.

If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the notification light lights up after you connect the charger cable to a power source.

Battery notification light status

Green The battery charge level is greater than 90%

Flashing red The battery level is low

Orange The battery is charging and the battery charge level is less than 90%

To check the battery level 1 From your Home screen, tap . 2 Find and tap Settings > About phone > Status > Battery level.

Improving battery performance The following tips can help you improve battery performance:

Charge your device often. This will not affect the lifetime of the battery. Downloading data from the Internet is power consuming. When you're not using the

Internet, you can save power by disabling all cellular data connections from the Notification panel by dragging down the status bar. This setting does not prevent your device from transmitting data over other wireless networks.

Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections when you don't need these features. You can turn them on and off more easily from the Notification panel by dragging down the status bar.

Use the STAMINA mode and Low battery mode features to reduce battery consumption. You can select the power saving mode that best suits the way you use your device. You can also customize the settings of each power saving mode.

Set your synchronization applications (used to synchronize your email, calendar and contacts) to synchronize manually. You can also synchronize automatically, but increase the synchronization intervals.

Check the battery usage menu in your device to see which applications use the most power. Your battery consumes more power when you use video and music streaming applications, such as YouTube. Some applications downloaded from Google Play may also consume more power.

Close and exit applications that you are not using. Lower the screen display brightness level. Turn off your device or activate the Airplane mode setting if you are in an area with no

network coverage. Otherwise, your device repeatedly scans for available networks, and this consumes power.

Use a Sony original hands-free device to listen to music. Hands-free devices demand less battery power than your device's own loudspeakers.

Keep your device in standby mode whenever possible. Standby time refers to the time during which your device is connected to the network and is not being used.

Disable any live wallpaper.

Estimating the standby time of your device Standby time refers to the amount of time the battery can last when your device is connected to the network but is not in active use, for example, to receive or make phone calls. STAMINA mode, when activated, continuously evaluates the remaining standby time, which can vary depending on how you use your device. STAMINA mode is more effective in lengthening the standby time if you keep the screen of your device locked. If you rarely lock the screen, you may not see much improvement in battery performance.

When you use your device for the first time, the estimated standby time may not be accurate since there is no previous usage history to estimate from.

To view the estimated standby time 1 From your Home screen, tap . 2 Find and tap Settings > Power management.

Using Low battery mode You can activate the Low battery mode feature to save power when the battery level is low. This feature helps you to adjust the settings for screen brightness, data traffic and the vibrate function so that you can reduce battery consumption.

To activate Low battery mode 1 Drag the status bar downwards, then tap . 2 Find and tap Power management. 3 Drag the slider beside Low battery mode to the right.

Maps and locations About location services Use your device to find out where you are. There are two methods: GPS and wireless networks. Enable the wireless networks option if you only need your approximate location, and want it fast. If you want a more exact position, and have a clear view of the sky, enable the GPS option. In situations where the wireless network connection is weak, you should enable both options to ensure that your location is found.

The GPS signals can pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains. If your location isn't found after a few minutes, move to another location.
