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 53.
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

account, you should set up the synchronisation with the account before you import the contacts
from the SIM card.
Getting contacts into your phone
You can get existing contact information into your phone in several different ways.
•

This way, you can manage your contacts both directly in the phone, or by using a computer.
If you want to use contacts with a synchronisation account later, but you want to transfer
the contacts using any of the methods below, make sure you set up the synchronisation
before you transfer the contacts to your phone.
•
You can import contacts from a SIM card. Not all information may be possible to transfer
from one phone to another this way, due to the limited memory on a SIM card. Also, some
phones do not support export of contacts to a SIM card.
•
You can import contacts from a memory card. It may not be possible to transfer contacts
from one phone to another this way, since some phones do not support import or export
of contacts to a memory card.
•
You can use a Bluetooth™ connection. If you want to use this method for transferring
contacts from one phone to another, note that some phones need to have a SIM card
inserted to use the Bluetooth™ function.
•
You can send contacts using messaging services such as SMS, MMS or email. Not all
phones support sending of contacts using messaging services.

internal network, for example, when they are traveling.
VPN connections can be set up in many ways, depending on the network. Some networks
may require you to transfer and install a security certificate in your phone. See Connecting

Geotagging
Tag photos with details of where you took them
On
When geotagging is turned on, the approximate geographical location is added to photos when you take
them. The geographical location is determined either by using wireless networks (mobile networks or WiFi) or GPS technology. You can select both options simultaneously. To use geotagging you must also
enable location features in Settings. See Location services on page 95. For geotags to be added to a
photo, the location must be determined before you take the photo. When the phone is searching for your
position, appears. Your location is determined when appears.
Wireless networks
You can use wireless networks to determine the location when satellites are out of reach, for example,
indoors. Your location is determined faster when using wireless networks, but the accuracy is less exact
than when using 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, the wireless network
is used to determine the 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.
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
cloth to clean the lens.

Location services
You can get your location determined either by using wireless networks or GPS technology.
Wireless networks technology determines your position fast but accuracy may vary. If you
use GPS technology it may take a little longer, but it will find your exact position. You can
enable both wireless networks and GPS to benefit from both technologies when trying to
find your position.
Using GPS technology
Your phone has a GPS receiver that uses satellite signals to calculate your location. Some
GPS features use the Internet. Data rates and charges may apply.
When you use features that require the GPS receiver to find your location, make sure you
have a clear view of the sky. If the GPS receiver does not find your location after a few
minutes, you should move to another location. To help the search, stand still and do not
cover the GPS antenna. The position of the GPS antenna is shown in the image below. The
first time you use the GPS receiver it may take up to 10 minutes before your location is
found.
If you cannot use some GPS features, see I cannot use Internet-based services on page 100.
Sony Ericsson does not warrant the accuracy of any location services including but not limited
to navigational services.
