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. It may take a few minutes
before the battery icon appears on the screen when you connect the phone charger
cable to a power source, such as a USB port or a phone charger. 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

USB symbol facing up. The battery status LED lights up when charging starts.

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.
You can do this from Settings > More… > Mobile networks > Data enabled. 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 Status switch widget to your Home screen.
You do not need to turn off 3G.
•
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 Android Market™ applications also consume
more power.
•
Close and exit applications that you are not using.
•
Lower the screen display brightness level.
•
Turn off your phone or use Airplane mode 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.
•
Go to www.sonymobile.com to get the latest battery performance tips for your phone
model.

A protective plastic sheet is attached to the screen of your phone when you buy it. You
should peel off this sheet before using the touchscreen. Otherwise, the 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.
