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.

password, settings and personal information. The next time you sign in, you get a
personalised view.
Google™ account
Having a Google™ account is key to using a range of applications and services with
your Android phone. You need a Google™ account, for example, to use the Gmail™
application in your phone, to chat with friends using Google Talk™, to synchronise
your phone calendar with your Google Calendar™, and to download applications and
games, music, movies and books from Google Play™.
Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® account

Battery
Your phone has an embedded battery.
Charging the battery
Charge your phone for at least 30 minutes before you turn on the phone for the first
time. When you connect the phone charger cable to a power source, such as a USB
port or a phone charger, it may take a few minutes before the battery icon
appears on the screen. 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
14
This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
1
Plug the phone charger into a power outlet.
2
Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a
computer).
3
Plug the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your phone, with
the USB symbol facing up. The battery status LED lights up when charging
starts. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before
the LED lights up after you connect the phone charger cable to a power
source.
4
When the battery status LED is green, the phone is fully charged. Disconnect
the USB cable from your phone by pulling it straight outwards. Make sure not
to bend the connector when removing the cable from the phone.

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.
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 Quick settings widget to your Home
screen. You do not need to turn off 3G.
•
Use the Power Saver feature to reduce battery consumption. You can select the
power saving mode that best suits the way you use your phone. You can also
customise the settings of each power saving mode.
•
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 applications downloaded from Google
Play™ may also consume more power.
•
Close and exit applications that you are not using.
•
Lower the screen display brightness level.
•
Turn off your phone or activate the Airplane mode setting 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.
15

•
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.
•
Disable any live wallpaper.

Sensors
Your phone has sensors that detect both light and proximity. The light sensor detects
the ambient light level and adjusts the brightness of the screen accordingly. The
proximity sensor turns the touch screen off when your face touches the screen. This
prevents you from unintentionally activating phone functions when you are engaged
in a call.
Using the lockscreen
On the lockscreen, you can still view notifications, for example, notifications of
missed calls and messages that arrived since the phone was last locked. You can
also control the playback of audio tracks without unlocking the screen.
