What is Android™?
Android is your phone's operating system. Since
it's developed by Google™, your phone is
preloaded with several Google™ services, such as
Google Maps™ and Google™ web search. To use
some of the services provided by Google™, you
need a Google account. With a Google account
you can access Android Market™ – an application
store providing both free and paid applications for
easy download to your phone.
What is different about Android?
Android™ is an open system, which means that
you're not limited to using applications and
services from only one provider.
Google™ account
Use Gmail™ to send emails, Google Talk™ to chat
with friends, and Android Market™ to download
applications.
To add an account
1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Tap Settings > Accounts & sync > Add
account.
3
Tap the account type you want to add and then
follow the registration wizard.
Basic settings
The first time you start your phone, a setup guide
explains basic phone functions and helps you
enter essential settings. You can also access the
setup guide later.
To access the setup guide manually
1
From the Home screen, tap .
2
Find and tap Setup guide.
Transferring contacts
to your new phone
Transferring contacts to your new phone can
sometimes be complicated, but help is available.
You can transfer contacts from several phone
brands, including iPhone, Samsung, HTC and
Nokia.
You need:
•
An Internet-connected PC running Windows®
•
A USB cable for your old phone
•
A USB cable for your new Android™ phone
•
Your old phone
•
Your new Android™ phone
If you don't have access to all of the items
listed above, go to www.sonymobile.com to
find out about other ways to transfer your
contacts.
Get started transferring
your contacts
Use the PC Companion program to transfer your
contacts. It's free, and the installation files are
already saved on your new phone. PC Companion
also offers a range of other features, including help
to update your phone software.

New phone: Turn on your new Android™ phone
and connect it to a PC using a USB cable.

your PC.
2

then click Contacts Setup and follow the
instructions to transfer your contacts.
Transferring data from
another phone
Your phone does not have a removable memory
card. Instead, it has a substantial amount of
internal storage and you can move files to and
from this internal storage using the file explorer
application on a computer or the PC Companion
computer application. For example, you can
transfer files from the memory card of another
phone to your new phone's internal storage and
vice versa.
To transfer data to your phone's internal
storage from another phone
1
Using a supported USB cable, connect the
phone containing the memory card to the PC.

Using Windows Explorer, drag and drop the
desired content from the memory card to a
folder on your computer.

phone to the computer. The PC Companion
application opens.

computer to your new phone's internal storage.
