The Home screen is the starting point of your phone. You can personalize the Home screen by adding widgets, or by changing the wallpaper and the applications in the corners.
When you add more than one widget, the Home screen extends beyond the screen width. The corners on the Home screen are used to access applications or bookmarks quickly. You can add any application or bookmark to the corners.
When you go to the Home screen, some applications may continue to run in the background. If you do not want applications to run in the background, you should exit each application you have opened before going to the Home screen.
A widget is a part of an application on the Home screen. It displays important information from a particular application. For example, the Sony Ericsson Timescape™ widget displays incoming messages and the Media widget allows you to start playing music directly.

Phonebook

In the Phonebook application, you can enter information for your personal contacts, for example, phone numbers and email addresses. When you view a contact, you get quick access to all communication with that contact.
If you have set up your phone for use with a synchronization service account, you can synchronize your phone contacts with the account contacts. When you create or import contacts, you are asked to select if you want to synchronize the newly created or imported contacts with the account, or if you only want to use them in the phone (Phone contact). See Synchronizing on page 58.
To view your contacts
From the Home screen, tap to open the Phonebook application.
If you have not set up your phone for synchronization with a web service, or imported SIM contacts, you can choose to do so the first time you open the Phonebook application.

You can import contacts from a SIM card. Not all information may be possible to transfer from one phone to another this way, due to the limited memory on a SIM card. Also, some phones do not support export of contacts to a SIM card.
You can import contacts from a memory card. It may not be possible to transfer contacts from one phone to another this way, since some phones do not support import or export of contacts to a memory card.
You can use a Bluetooth™ connection. If you want to use this method for transferring contacts from one phone to another, note that some phones need to have a SIM card inserted to use the Bluetooth™ function.
You can send contacts using messaging services such as SMS, MMS or email. Not all phones support sending of contacts using messaging services.

Tips when using the camera
Rule of thirds
Don’t place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in, you achieve a better result.
Hold it steady
Avoid blurry photos by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning it against a solid object.
Get closer
By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can fill the viewfinder with your subject.
Stay within the flash range
Photos taken beyond the maximum flash range will be too dark. The maximum flash range is about four steps from the subject.
Consider variety
Think about different angles, and move towards the subject. Take some vertical photos. Try different positions.
85

Location services

You can get your location determined either by using wireless networks or GPS technology. Wireless networks technology determines your position fast but accuracy may vary. If you use GPS technology it may take a little longer, but it will find your exact position. You can enable both wireless networks and GPS to benefit from both technologies when trying to find your position.

Using GPS technology

Your phone has a GPS receiver that uses satellite signals to calculate your location. Some GPS features use the Internet. Data rates and charges may apply.
When you use features that require the GPS receiver to find your location, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. If the GPS receiver does not find your location after a few minutes, you should move to another location. To help the search, stand still and do not cover the GPS antenna. The position of the GPS antenna is shown in the image below. The first time you use the GPS receiver, it may take up to 10 minutes before your location is found.
If you cannot use some GPS features, see I cannot use Internet-based services on page 94.
Sony Ericsson does not warrant the accuracy of any location services, including but not limited to navigational services.
To enable the GPS receiver
1
From the Home screen, drag upward.
2

is shown using information from mobile networks in your vicinity. Your location is updated with a more precise position when the GPS receiver finds your location.
Make sure you enable the location settings before trying to get your position.
If the screen orientation does not change automatically when you turn the phone sideways, you can change this in the display settings of your phone.
To use Google Maps™
1
From the Home screen, drag upwards.

The Google Maps™ application may not be available in every market, country or region.

Getting driving directions
