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. 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

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.

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.
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.

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.

Messaging
Using text and multimedia messaging
You can send and receive text messages from your phone using SMS (Short
Message Service). If your subscription includes MMS (Multimedia Messaging
Service), you can also send and receive messages that contain media files, for
example, pictures and videos. The number of characters you can send in a single text
message varies depending on the operator and the language you use. If you exceed
the character limit, then all your single messages are linked together and sent as one
message. You are charged for each single text message you send. When you view
your messages, they appear as conversations, which means that all messages to and
from a particular person are grouped together.
To send multimedia messages, you need the correct MMS settings in your phone. See Internet
and messaging settings on page 33.

NFC
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology that lets you
exchange data with other devices, including a web page address, a music file, a
contact, or a link to an application on Google Play™. Using NFC, you can also scan
special tags that give you more information about a product or service.
To scan or share a tag, you have to hold the NFC detection area of your phone right
over the tag or next to the NFC detection area of the other device. The maximum
reading distance is about one centimetre, which helps prevent unauthorised
communications.
NFC may not be available in all countries and/or regions.

Tips on 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 camera screen view
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.

Sharing content with DLNA Certified™
devices
You can view or play media content saved in your phone on other devices such as,
for example, a TV, a PlayStation®3, a computer, or a tablet. Such devices must be
DLNA Certified™ by the Digital Living Network Alliance and must be connected to the
same Wi-Fi® network as your phone in order for content to be shared. You can also
view or play content from other DLNA Certified™ devices on your phone.
After you set up the sharing of content between devices, you can, for example, print
files from your phone on a printer, listen to music files stored on your home computer
from your phone, or view photos taken with your phone camera on a large-screen TV.
Playing files from DLNA Certified™ devices on your phone
When you play files from another DLNA Certified™ device on your phone, this other
device acts as a server. In other words, it shares content over a network. The server
device must have its content sharing function enabled and must be connected to the
same Wi-Fi network as your phone. All server devices connected to the Wi-Fi
network are displayed in the Server list on your phone.

Preparing to play phone content on DLNA Certified™ devices
Before you can view or play media files from your phone on other DLNA Certified™
devices, you must set up file sharing on your phone. The devices you share content
with are called client devices. For example, a TV, computer or tablet can act as client
devices. Your phone works as a media server when it makes content available to
client devices. When you set up file sharing on your phone, you must also give
access permission to client devices. After you do so, such devices appear as
registered devices. Devices that are waiting for access permission are listed as
pending devices.

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.

Connecting your phone to a computer
Connect your phone to a computer and start transferring pictures, music and other
file types. The easiest ways to connect are using a USB cable or Bluetooth wireless
technology.
When you connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable, you are prompted
to install the PC Companion application on your computer. PC Companion helps you
access additional computer applications to transfer and organise media files, update
your phone, synchronise phone content, and more.
You might not be able to transfer some copyright-protected material between your phone and
computer.
Transferring and handling content using a USB cable
Use a USB cable connection between a computer and your phone for easy transfer
and management of your files. Once the two devices are connected, you can drag
and drop content between your phone and the computer, or between your phone's
internal storage and SD card, using the computer's file explorer.
If you're transferring music, video, pictures or other media files to your phone, it's
best to use the Media Go™ application on your computer. Media Go™ converts
media files so that you can use them on your phone.

Transferring files using Media transfer mode via Wi-Fi®
You can transfer files between your phone and other MTP compatible devices, such
as a computer, using a Wi-Fi® connection. Before connecting, you first need to pair
the two devices. If you're transferring music, video, pictures or other media files
between your phone and a computer, it's best to use the Media Go™ application on
the computer. Media Go™ converts media files so that you can use them on your
phone.
In order to use this feature, you need a Wi-Fi® enabled device that supports Media transfer,
for example, a computer running Microsoft® Windows Vista® or Windows® 7.

The first time you use the GPS it can take 5 to 10 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 (the highlighted area in the image). The 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.
