Why do I need a Google account?

Your 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. To get the most out of these services, you need a Google account. For example, a Google account enables you to do the following:

• Download and install applications from Google Play.

• Synchronise your email, contacts, and calendar using Gmail.

• Chat with friends using the Google 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 Find my device services.

For more information about Android and Google, go to http:// support.google.com.

Note

It is crucial to remember your Google account user name and password, since in some situations, you may need it to identify yourself for security reasons. If you fail to give your Google user name 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.

To set up a Google account on your device

1 Find and tap Settings > Users & accounts > Add account > Google.

2Follow the on-screen instructions to create a Google account, or sign in if you already have an account.

Hint

You can also create a Google account using the setup guide when you first start your device, or go online later and create an account at https://myaccount.google.com/.

To remove a Google account

1Find and tap Settings > Users & accounts.

2 Select the Google account that you want to remove.

3Tap Remove account.

4Tap Remove account again to confirm.

Note

If you remove your Google account, any security features that are linked to your Google account will no longer be available.

11

Internet version. For personal use only.

Device security

Making sure your device is protected

Your device includes security options, strongly recommended in case of loss or theft.

Note

When using a security option to protect your device, it is crucial to remember the details provided at set up.

Screen lock

Set a secure screen lock on your device using a PIN, password, pattern, or fingerprint to prevent others from using your device without permission. Once the screen lock is set, it is not possible to unlock the screen or erase the content via a Factory data reset without providing the screen lock information.

Hint

If you add your contact information on the screen lock, for example your email, this information can be used to get your device back if you lose it.

Google account

Add a Google account so that you can use the Find my device service. In some situations, you may also need to identify yourself for security reasons using your Google account.

Find my device

Use the Find my device service to remotely locate, lock, unlock, or erase the content on a lost device. After you have signed in to your Google account, Find my device is turned on by default.

SIM card lock

Lock your SIM cards with a PIN to protect your subscription against misuse. The PIN is required every time you restart your device.

IMEI number

Keep a copy of the IMEI number. If your device is stolen, some network providers can use this number to stop the device from accessing the network in your country or region.

Hint

Dual SIM devices have two IMEI numbers.

Backup

Back up the content on your device in case your device is damaged, lost or stolen. See Backing up and restoring content on page 42.

12

Internet version. For personal use only.

Screen lock

When the screen is locked you have to unlock it with a swipe gesture or with your personal pattern, PIN, password or fingerprint. Initially, the unprotected screen swipe is set, but it is recommended to use a more secure screen lock to protect your device.

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.

• Fingerprint: place your registered finger on the sensor to unlock your device.

Fingerprints need to be registered with Fingerprint Manager before use. To configure the notific tions on the lock screen, see Notific tions on page 29.

Hint

The Smart Lock feature lets you set your device to unlock automatically in certain situations, such as when connected to a Bluetooth device or carrying your device with you. Go to http://www.support.google.com/ and search “smart lock” for more information.

To create or change a screen lock

Note

It is very important that you remember your screen lock when using a pattern, PIN or password. If you forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data such as contacts and messages.

1 Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Screen lock.

2If requested, confirm your current screen lock.

3Choose an option and follow the on-screen instructions.

4When a secure screen lock is used, you can set the power key to lock the screen, set the screen lock activation time and create a lock screen message by tapping (Settings icon).

Hint

If you use a Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® (EAS) account, the EAS security settings may limit the lock screen type to only a PIN or password. Contact your network administrator to check the implemented network security policies.

Fingerprint Manager

Register your fingerprint to use it as an additional security method for unlocking your device or authenticating purchases. You can register up to 5 fingerprints on your device.

The pattern, PIN, or password screen lock serves as a backup unlock method when a fingerprint is used as a screen lock. Before registering your fingerprint, make sure the sensor is clean and without any visible moisture.

To register a fingerprint for the first time

To unlock a blocked SIM card using the PUK code 1 Enter the PUK code and tap (Done icon).

2Enter a new PIN code and tap (Done icon).

3Re-enter the new PIN code and tap (Done icon).

Note

If you enter an incorrect PUK code too many times, you need to contact your network operator to get a new SIM card.

Using multiple SIM cards

Note

This function only applies for Dual SIM devices.

Dual SIM devices work with either one or two SIM cards inserted. You can get incoming communication to both SIM cards and select which number to place outgoing communication from. Before using multiple SIM cards, you need to enable them and select a SIM card which will handle data tr ffic.

You can forward calls that come in on SIM 1 to SIM 2 when SIM 1 is unreachable, and vice versa. This function is called Dual SIM reachability. You must enable it manually. See Forwarding calls on page 70.

Internet version. For personal use only.

Finding, locking or erasing a lost device

Google offers a location and security web service called Find my device. After you have signed in to a Google account, Find my device is turned on by default. If you lose your device, you can use Find my device to:

•Find and show where your device is located on a map.

•Lock your device and present a message on the lock screen.

•Unlock your device and reset it by erasing its content.

•Activate the ringer, even if the sound is turned off.

Your device must be turned on, have an internet connection, and have the location service activated. The Find my device service may not be available in all countries or regions.

For additional information about Find my device, go to https:// support.google.com/ and search for “Find my device.”

Note

If you erased the content on your device using Find my device, you must enter the username and password for a Google account in order to use your device again. This can be any Google account which you have set up on your device as an owner. If you can’t give this information during the setup, you won’t be able to use your device at all after a reset.

To verify that your device can be found

•Go to https //www.google.com/ ndroid/find and sign in using your Google account.

Using location services

Location services allow applications such as Maps and the camera to use information from your mobile or Wi-Fi network as well as Global Positioning System (GPS) information to determine your approximate location. If you’re not within a clear line of sight to GPS satellites, your device can determine your location using the Wi-Fi function. And if you’re not within range of a network, your device can determine your location using your mobile network.

In order to use your device to find out where you are, you need to enable location services.

Note

You may incur data connection charges when you connect to the internet from your device.

To enable or disable location services

1 Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Location.

2Tap the switch to enable or disable location services.

Improving GPS accuracy

The first time you use the GPS function in your device, it can take a few minutes for your location to be found. To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Stand still and don’t cover the GPS antenna. GPS signals can pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains. If your location isn’t found after a few minutes, move to another location.
