Android™ – what and why?
Your Xperia smartphone from Sony runs on the Android platform. Android phones
can perform many of the same functions as a computer and you can customise 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™ phone with other applications and with
online services that you use. For example, you can back up your phone contacts,
access your different email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of
your appointments, and engage in social networking.
Android™ phones are constantly evolving. When a new software version is available
and your phone supports this new software, you can update your phone to get new
features and the latest improvements.
Your Android™ phone 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 phone. You also need to have Internet access to use many of the features in
Android™.
New software releases may not be compatible with all phones.
Applications
An application is a phone program that helps you perform a task. For example, there
are applications to make calls, take photos and download more applications.

Battery
Charging the battery
Your phone battery is partly charged when you buy the phone. When you connect the
phone charger cable to a power source, such as a USB port or a phone charger, it
may take a few minutes before the battery icon appears on the screen. You can
still use your phone while it is charging. Charging the phone over a long period of
time, for example, overnight, does not damage the battery or the phone.
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a
certain time when the phone charger is connected. This is to extend battery life and may result
in the charge status showing a level below 100 percent.

To charge the phone
1
Plug the phone 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 phone, with
the USB symbol facing up. The battery status LED lights up when charging
starts. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before
the LED lights up after you connect the phone charger cable to a power
source.
4
When the battery status LED is green, the phone is fully charged. Disconnect
the USB cable from your phone by pulling it straight outwards. Make sure not
to bend the connector when removing the cable from the phone.

Improving battery performance
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:
•
Charge your phone 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 phone 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.
15
This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
•
Use the Power Saver feature to reduce battery consumption. You can select the
power saving mode that best suits the way you use your phone. You can also
customise the settings of each power saving mode.
•
Set your synchronisation applications (used to synchronise your email, calendar and
contacts) to synchronise manually. You can also synchronise automatically, but
increase the synchronisation intervals.
•
Check the battery usage menu in the phone 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 phone or activate the Airplane mode setting if you are in an area with
no network coverage. Otherwise, your phone 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 the phone's loudspeakers.
•
Keep your phone in standby whenever possible. Standby time refers to the time
during which the phone is connected to the network and is not being used.
•
Disable any live wallpaper.
•
Go to www.sonymobile.com to get the latest battery performance tips for your phone
model.

Using the touchscreen
A protective plastic sheet is attached to the screen of your phone when you buy it.

touchscreen might not function properly.
When your phone 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 your phone content.
Your phone 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 phone 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 when your face touches the screen. This
prevents you from unintentionally activating phone functions when you are engaged
in a call.
