Getting started

About this User guide This is the Xperia SP User guide for the Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) software version. If you're not sure which software version your device is running, you can check it via the Settings menu. For more information about software updates, see Updating your device.

To check the current software version of your device 1 From your Home screen, tap . 2 Find and tap Settings > About phone > Android version.

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.

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 Your device has an embedded 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 illuminates when charging begins. 4 When the device is fully charged, disconnect the cable from your device by

pulling it straight outward. Make sure not to bend the connector.

Use the charger and USB cable provided with the device to ensure faster charging. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the notification light illuminates and the charging icon appears.

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 data connections over mobile networks. 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 handsfree device to listen to music. Handsfree devices demand less battery power than your device's own loudspeakers.

Keep your device in standby 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.

To access the battery usage menu 1 From your Home screen, tap . 2 Find and tap Settings > Power management > Battery usage.

Using STAMINA mode Activate the STAMINA mode feature to pause your Wi-Fi connection, data traffic and several power consuming applications when your screen is inactive. When STAMINA mode is active, you can still receive phone calls, and text and multimedia messages. You can also set up an applications list to allow some applications to keep running when your screen is inactive. Once the screen becomes active again, all paused functions are resumed.

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

To change the settings for STAMINA mode 1 From your Home screen, tap . 2 Find and tap Settings > Power management. 3 To open the settings menu, tap STAMINA mode. 4 Add or remove applications, as desired. 5 When you're finished, tap Done.

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 From your Home screen, tap . 2 Find and tap Settings > Power management. 3 Tap next to Low battery mode, then tap Activate.

To deactivate Low battery mode 1 From your Home screen, tap . 2 Find and tap Settings > Power management. 3 Tap next to Low battery mode.

Maps and locations

Location services and sources Use your device to find out where you are. There are two methods, or sources: GPS satellites and wireless networks. Enable the wireless networks option (Wi-Fi and mobile networks) 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 satellites option. In situations where the wireless network connection is weak, you should enable both options to ensure that your location is found. Both options are activated by default when you enable location services.

Both systems can complement and replace each other, if necessary, to ensure positioning accuracy and a smooth navigation experience. When you enable GPS, the GLONASS system also gets enabled automatically.

When you use features that require the GPS and GLONASS receiver to find your location, make sure you have a clear view of the sky.

To enable GPS 1 Drag the status bar downward, then tap . 2 Tap Location services. 3 Drag the slider beside Access to my location to the right. 4 Tap Agree to confirm.

Stand still and don't cover the GPS antenna (the highlighted area in the image). 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.
