Why do I need a Google™ account?
Your Xperia™ device from Sony runs on the Android™ platform developed by
Google™. A range of Google™ applications and services is available on your device
when you purchase it, for example, Gmail™, Google Maps™, YouTube™ and the
Play Store™ application, which gives you access to the Google Play™ online store
for downloading Android™ applications. To get the most out of these services, you
need a Google™ account. For example, a Google™ account enables you to do all of
the following:
•
Download and install applications from Google Play™.
•
Synchronise your email, contacts and calendar using Gmail™.
•
Chat with friends using the Duo™ application.
•
Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™ web
browser.
•
Identify yourself as the authorised user after a software repair using Xperia™
Companion.
•
Remotely find, lock or clear a lost or stolen device using the my Xperia™ or
Android™ Device Manager services.
For more information about Android™ and Google™, go to
http://support.google.com
It is crucial that you remember your Google™ account username and password. In some
situations, you may need to identify yourself for security reasons using your Google™ account.
If you fail to give your Google™ username and password in such situations, your device is
locked. Also, if you have more than one Google™ account, make sure to enter the details for
the relevant account.

or theft.
These options are as follows:
•
Set a secure screen lock on your device using a PIN, password or pattern to prevent
anyone from accessing or resetting your device.
•
Add a Google™ account to prevent others from using your device if it gets stolen or
wiped.
•
Activate either the “Protection by my Xperia” or the Android™ Device Manager web
service. Using one of these services, you can remotely locate, lock or clear a lost
device.

For Android™ Device Manager, it is necessary to enter information from a Google™ account.
This can be any Google™ account which you have set up on the device as an owner. If you
cannot provide the relevant account information during a setup process, you won't be able to
use the device at all.
You must unlock your screen before you are allowed to perform a
Factory Data Reset.
If you remotely reset your device using this service, you must enter
the username and password for a Google™ account associated with
the service. The device must be connected to the internet before the
setup process can be completed. Otherwise, you will not be able to
use your device after the reset.
If you remotely reset your device using this service, you must enter
the username and password for a Google™ account. The device must

Screen lock
There are several screen lock options available. The security level of each lock type is
listed below in order of weakest to strongest:
•
Swipe: no protection, but you have quick access to the Home screen.
•
Pattern: draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock your device.
•
PIN: enter a numeric PIN of at least four digits to unlock your device.
•
Password: enter an alpha-numeric password to unlock your device.
It is very important that you remember your screen lock pattern, PIN or password. If
you forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data such as
contacts and messages. If you have set up a Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®
(EAS) account on your Xperia™ device, the EAS security settings may limit the lock
screen type to only a PIN or password. This occurs when your network administrator
specifies a lock screen type for all EAS accounts for enterprise security reasons.
Contact the network administrator of your company or organisation to check what
network security policies are implemented for mobile devices.

Unlocking your device automatically
The Smart Lock feature makes unlocking your device easier by letting you set it to
unlock automatically in certain situations. You can keep your device unlocked, for
example, when it’s connected to a Bluetooth® device or when you’re carrying it with
you. With Smart Lock enabled you still need to unlock your device manually after
restarting, and after leaving the device inactive for 4 hours.
You can set Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked using the following settings:
•
On-body detection [udoc_trans_smart_lock_onbody_detection] : Keep your device unlocked when
you're carrying it with you.
•
Trusted places [udoc_trans_smart_lock_trusted_places] : Keep your device unlocked when you're in a
familiar, secure location such as your home.
•
Trusted devices [usbux_strings_trusted_hosts_title_txt] : Keep your device unlocked when a trusted
Bluetooth® or NFC device is connected.
•
Trusted face [smart_lock_trusted_face] : Unlock your device by looking at it.
•
Trusted voice [smart_lock_trusted_voice] : Set up voice recognition to search in any screen.
The Smart Lock feature is developed by Google™ and its exact functionality may change over
time due to updates from Google™. Furthermore the feature may not be available in every
market, country or region.

Keeping your device unlocked while you’re carrying it
Using the On-body detection feature, you can keep your device unlocked while
you're carrying it in your hand or in a pocket or bag. The accelerometer in your device
keeps your device unlocked while it senses that it's being carried. The device locks
when the accelerometer detects that the device has been put down.
When you use the On-body detection feature, you need to be aware of the following
behaviours:
16
This is an internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
•
Any time you put your device down and it senses that it's no longer being carried, it
locks automatically.
•
The device can take up to one minute to lock.
•
After you get into a car, bus, train or other land vehicle, your device can take between
5 and 10 minutes to lock.
•
Note that when you get on an airplane or a boat (or another non-land based vehicle),
your device may not lock automatically, so make sure to lock it manually if needed.
•
When you pick up your device again or get out of the vehicle, just unlock it once and
your device then stays unlocked for as long as you have it on you.
The On-body detection feature can't distinguish whose body is connected. If you give your
device to someone else while it's unlocked using On-body detection, your device may stay
unlocked for the other user. Keep in mind that On-body detection as a security feature is less
secure than a pattern, PIN, or password.

Connecting to trusted devices
You can designate a connected device as trusted and keep your Xperia™ device
unlocked while connected. If you have a device that you connect to regularly using
Bluetooth® or NFC, for example, a home entertainment system or a fitness tracker,
you can add it as a trusted device and bypass the added security of the lock screen
to save time. This feature is suitable if you’re normally in a relatively secure place
when you use these devices. In some cases, you may still need to manually unlock
your device before a trusted device can be connected.
It is not recommended to add devices that are constantly connected to your device as trusted
devices, for example, Bluetooth® keyboards or cases.
As soon as a trusted device is switched off or moves out of range, your screen locks and you
need your PIN, pattern or password to unlock it.

Making sure you're secure when using trusted devices
Different Bluetooth® devices support different Bluetooth® standards and security
capabilities. There's a possibility that someone could keep your Xperia™ device
unlocked by imitating your Bluetooth® connection, even if your trusted device is no
longer nearby. Your device is not always able to determine whether your connection
is secure from someone trying to imitate it.
When your device can't determine whether you're using a secure connection, you'll
get a notification on your Xperia™ device and may need to manually unlock it before
the trusted device can keep it unlocked.
Bluetooth® connectivity range can vary depending on factors like the model of your device,
the connected Bluetooth® device, and your environment. Depending on these factors,
Bluetooth® connections can work over distances up to 100 metres.

SIM card protection
You can lock and unlock each SIM card that you use in your device with a PIN
(Personal Identification Number). When a SIM card is locked, the subscription linked
to the card is protected against misuse, meaning that you have to enter a PIN every
time you start your device.
If you enter the PIN incorrectly too many times, your SIM card will get blocked. You
then need to enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and a new PIN. Your PIN and
PUK are supplied by your network operator.

Locking and unlocking the screen
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. When you buy your device, a basic screen
swipe lock is already set. This means that you have to swipe left or upwards on the
screen to unlock it. You can change the security settings later and add other kinds of
locks. See

on a computer screen. Your Home screen can have up to twenty panes, which
extend beyond the regular screen display width. The number of Home screen panes
