Using location services

ocation services allow applications such as Maps and the camera to use information from your mobile or Wi-Fi network as well as GPS (Global Positioning System) 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 nd out where you are, you need to enable location services.

To enable or disable location services

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

2 Tap the switch to enable or disable location services.

Improving GPS accuracy

The rst 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.

General usage tips to improve battery performance

The following tips can help you improve battery performance:

• Lower the screen brightness level, see

Screen settings

• Turn o Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and location services when you don’t need these

features.

• Turn o your device or use Airplane mode if you are in an area with no or low

network coverage. Otherwise, your device repeatedly scans for available networks, and this consumes power.

• Use a Wi-Fi network instead of roaming when abroad. Roaming is scanning for

your home network and puts additional demands on your battery as your device must transmit with a higher output power, see

Wi-Fi

• Change the synchronisation settings for your email, calendar and contacts.

• Check the applications that have a high battery consumption and consider the

battery saving tips provided on your device for these applications.

• Change the notication level for an application, see

• Turn o the location-sharing permission for an application, see

settings

• Uninstall applications that you are not using, see

• Use a Sony original handsfree device to listen to music. Handsfree devices

consume less battery than your device’s loudspeakers.

• Restart your device every now and then.

Repairing the device software

You can use Xperia Companion to repair your device’s software. If you forget your screen unlock password, PIN or pattern, you can use the device repair feature in Xperia Companion to erase the security layer. You need to provide your Google account login details to perform this operation. By running the repair feature, you reinstall software for your device and you may lose some personal data in the process.

If your device seems to have frozen, restarts repeatedly or doesn’t start at all after you’ve updated the Xperia software or after you’ve performed a software repair or a factory data reset, try forcing the device to shut down then try turning it back on. If the problem still exists, force the device to shut down then perform a software repair.

Improving memory performance

Your device has several dierent storage and memory options:

• The internal storage stores downloaded or transferred content along with personal

settings and data.

• To get more free internal storage space, you can use a removable memory card or

Google service to store your data.

Note

• Y

ou can purchase a memory card separately.

• The dynamic memory (RAM) cannot be used for storage. RAM is used to handle running

applications and the operating system.

Your device memory tends to ll up as a result of normal usage. If the device starts to slow down, or applications suddenly shut down, you should consider the following:

• Close running applications that you are not using.

• Clear the cache memory for all applications.

• Uninstall downloaded applications that you don’t use.

• Transfer photos, videos, and music from the internal memory to the memory card.

• If your device can’t read content on the memory card, you may need to format the

Screen pinning

Use screen pinning to set your device to display only the screen for a specic application. For example, if you are playing a game and you accidentally touch the home button, the screen pinning feature prevents the active game app screen from being minimised. You can also use this feature when you lend your device to another person to make it harder for them to access more than one application. For example, you can lend your device to somebody to take a photo and pin the screen to the Camera application so that the person can't easily use other applications such as Email.

Note

Screen pinning is not a security feature and does not fully prevent other users from unpinning a scr device to request a screen lock PIN, password, or pattern before someone can unpin the screen.

ceiving calls

If you receive an incoming call when the device is in sleep mode or the screen is locked, the phone application opens in full screen format. For Dual SIM devices, the screen background colour indicates which SIM card the call is for. The background colour can be changed in Call settings.

If you receive an incoming call when the screen is active, the incoming call is displayed as a notication that appears on the top of whatever screen is open. If you are using a Dual SIM device, SIM card information is also displayed. When the notication arrives, you can choose to answer the call and open the phone application screen, or you can reject the call and stay on the current screen.

Exposure, colour and light conditions

ood exposure for your photos requires the right amount of light. The camera

automatically detects and adjusts to ambient light conditions.

Dierent exposures are required, for example, when taking photos of faces, moving objects or in low light.

Optimising light conditions

• Look for light with direction and colour that gives a scene shape and depth. This

type of light occurs just before sunrise and at sunset. Natural light from a window is also good.

• For higher quality photos in low light, you need to keep the camera steady. You

can place the camera on a solid surface and use the self-timer.

• Even if light conditions are poor, try to take photos with and without the ash.

Sometimes the quality is better without the ash.

To use the ash

Colour, brightness and exposure value

Your camera automatically adjusts the colour, brightness and exposure value by detecting the light conditions and estimating the colour temperature of ambient light. Digital cameras can only estimate the colour temperature, so you may need to adjust the settings to get it correct.

If you experience yellow-coloured photos in indoor environments or bluish photos when using the ash, try adjusting the colour.

To achieve better exposures in low-light environments, change the brightness for photos and videos.

To adjust the colour and brightness

Shutter speed refers to how long the shutter is open and the camera sensor is exposed to light.

A fast shutter speed helps to freeze motion, while a slow shutter speed can create an eect called "motion blur", where moving objects appear blurred along their line of motion.
