Getting started
Android™ – what 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
that 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 and
your device supports this new software, you can update your device to get new features
and the latest improvements.
Your Android™ device is 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.

Accounts and services

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, chat with friends using Google Talk™, and 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™.
Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® account
Synchronize your device with your corporate Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® account.
This way, you keep your work email, contacts, and calendar events with you at all times.
Facebook™ account
Facebook™ is a social networking service that connects you with friends, family, and
colleagues around the world. Set up Facebook to work on your device so that you can
stay in touch from anywhere.

Battery
Your device has an embedded battery.
Charging the battery
Your battery is partly charged when you buy the 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.
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a
certain time when the charger is connected. This is to extend battery life and may result in the
charge status showing a level below 100 percent.

To charge your device

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

Plug the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your device, with the
USB symbol facing up. The battery status LED lights up when charging starts.
When the battery status LED 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 LED lights up
after you connect the charger cable to a power source.

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 GPS, Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi® when you don't need these features. You can turn
them on and off more easily by adding the Quick settings widget to your Home screen.
You do not need to turn off 3G.
•
•
Use the Extended Standby Mode setting to minimize battery consumption when the
screen is inactive.
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.
12

•
•
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 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.

Reducing battery consumption with Extended Standby Mode
Use the Extended Standby Mode to make your battery last longer. To save power, your
Wi-Fi® connection, data traffic and unused applications are paused when your device is
in standby mode. You can still receive phone calls, and text and multimedia messages.
Once the screen becomes active again, your phone exits standby mode and all paused
functions are resumed.

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. You can also set personal locks to protect your
subscription and make sure only you can access content on your device.
The device screen is made from glass. Do not touch the screen if the glass is cracked or
shattered. Avoid trying to repair a damaged screen yourself. Glass screens are sensitive to
drops and mechanical shocks. Cases of negligent care are not covered by the Sony warranty
service.

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.
Using the lockscreen
On the lockscreen, you can play tracks, take photos and record videos without unlocking
the screen.
