Battery
Your Android™ phone keeps you connected and updated wherever you are. This affects
the battery life of your phone. Below are some tips on how to prolong battery life while still
staying connected and up to date.
Battery performance
Standby time is the amount of time the battery can power your phone when calls are not being
received or made. The more time your phone is in standby, the longer the battery lasts.
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:
•
Charge your phone often.
This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
10
•
Downloading data from the Internet is power consuming. Turn off all data connections by
disabling the Data traffic option from the status bar when you're not using the Internet.
•
Set synchronisation applications (used to synchronise your email, calendar and contacts),
to synchronise manually. You can also synchronise automatically but increase the 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. Limit
your use of such applications if your battery is running low.
•
Increase the interval between updates or set the interval to manual for Facebook™ and
Twitter™ updates.
•
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 Power control widget to your Home screen. You
do not need to turn off 3G.
•
Lower the screen display brightness level.
•
Turn off your phone or use Flight 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 handsfree device to listen to music. This consumes less battery than when you listen
through the phone's loudspeakers.
•
Visit www.sonyericsson.com/support or go to the Sony Ericsson Support application
in your phone for an extended User guide. Here you can also find a video on how to
maximise the battery performance.
Lowering the screen display brightness and keeping the Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi® enabled even
though not in use, have a minor impact on the available battery life.
To turn off all data connections
1
From the Home screen, drag the status bar downwards to open the Notification
panel.

Charging the battery
The 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 to a power
source. You can still use your phone while it is charging.
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a
certain time. This is to extend battery life and may result in the charge status showing a level
below 100 percent.

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 synchronisation service account, you can
synchronise your phone contacts with the account contacts. When you create or import
contacts, you are asked to select if you want to synchronise the newly created or imported
contacts with the account, or if you only want to use them in the phone (Phone contact). See
Synchronising on page 54.
To view your contacts
•
From the Home screen, tap , then tap Phonebook.
The first time you open Phonebook, you are asked to set up your phone for synchronising
contacts with an online service, and you can import contacts from your SIM card or memory
card. If you want to use the contacts you import from your SIM card with a synchronisation
account, you should set up the synchronisation with the account before you import the contacts
from the SIM card.
Getting contacts into your phone
If you want to transfer contacts from your old phone to your new phone using any of the methods
described below you should first refer to the User guide of your old phone. Also, remember that
you need to back up your old contacts first before you can import them to your new phone. You
can do this either by synchronising your old phone contacts with a synchronisation account, or
by exporting the contacts to your SIM card or to a memory card.
You can get existing contact information into your phone using several methods:
•
Use a synchronisation service, such as Sony Ericsson Sync or Google Sync™. This way,
you can manage your contacts both directly in the phone and from a computer.
•
Import contacts from a SIM card. You may not be able to transfer all information from one
phone to another using this method because of limited memory on the SIM card. Also,
some phones do not support the export of contacts to a SIM card.
•
Import contacts from a memory card. Please note that it is not always possible to transfer
contacts from one phone to another using this method, since some phones do not support
the import or export of contacts from/to a memory card.
•
Use a Bluetooth™ connection to transfer contacts from one phone to another. Both phones
need to be switched on. In some phones, Bluetooth™ only works when a SIM card is
inserted.
•
You can send contacts via messaging services such as SMS, MMS or email. Not all phones
support the sending of contacts via messaging services.

Pairing with another Bluetooth™ device
When you pair your phone with another device, you can, for example, connect your phone
to a Bluetooth™ handsfree or a Bluetooth™ car kit and use these devices to make and
receive calls.
Once you have paired your phone with a Bluetooth™ device the phone will remember this
pairing. When pairing the phone with a Bluetooth™ device, you may need to enter a
passcode. Your phone will automatically try the generic passcode 0000. If this does not
work, refer to your Bluetooth™ device documentation for the device passcode. You do not
need to re-enter the passcode the next time you connect to a paired Bluetooth™ device.
Some Bluetooth™ devices, for example, most Bluetooth™ headsets, require you to both
pair and connect with the other device.
You can pair your phone with several Bluetooth™ devices, but you can only connect to
one Bluetooth™ profile at the same time.

exact than GPS technology
GPS satellites
To use GPS technology, make sure that you have enabled the GPS receiver and that you have a clear view
of the sky. If you have turned on Wireless networks and satellites are out of reach, a wireless network is
used to determine your location

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.
98

Get closer
By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can fill the viewfinder with your subject.
Consider variety
Think about different angles, and move towards the subject. Take some vertical photos.
Try different positions.
Use a plain background
A plain background helps highlight your subject.
Keep your lens clean
Mobile phones are used in all kinds of weather and places, and carried in pockets and bags.
This results in the camera lens becoming dirty and covered with fingerprints. Use a soft
