Getting started
Android™ – what and why?
Your Xperia™ from Sony runs on the Android platform. Android devices 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™ device with other applications and with online
services that you use. For example, you can back up your contacts, access your
different email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of your
appointments, and engage in social networking.
Android™ devices are constantly evolving. When a new software version is available
and your device supports this new software, you can update your device to get new
features and the latest improvements.
Your Android™ device 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 device. You also need to have Internet access to use many of the features in
Android™.
New software releases may not be compatible with all devices.

movies and books from Google Play™.

application
Home
Go to the Home screen
Task
Tap to open a window showing your most recently used applications and a small apps bar
Using the touchscreen
A protective plastic sheet is already attached to the screen of your device when you
buy it. You should peel off this sheet before using the touchscreen. Otherwise, the
touchscreen might not function properly.
When your device 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 content on your device.
The device 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.

To zoom
Place two fingers on the screen at once and pinch them together (to zoom out)
or spread them apart (to zoom in).
When you use two fingers on the screen to zoom, it is only possible to zoom if both fingers
are within the zoomable area. If you, for example, want to zoom in on a photo, make sure that
both fingers are within the photo frame area.
Scrolling
Scroll by moving your finger up or down on the screen. On some web pages you can
also scroll to the sides.
Dragging or flicking will not activate anything on the screen.
To scroll
Drag or flick your finger in the direction you want to scroll on the screen.

To flick
To scroll more quickly, flick your finger in the direction you want to go on the
screen. You can wait for the scrolling movement to stop by itself, or you can
stop it immediately by tapping the screen.
Sensors
Your device 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 during voice calls when your ear is close
to the screen. This prevents you from unintentionally activating other functions on
your device when you are engaged in a call.
Battery
Your device has an embedded battery.
Charging the battery
Your battery is partly charged when you buy your device. It may take a few minutes
before the battery icon appears on the screen when you connect the charger
cable to a power source, such as a USB port or a charger. You can still use your
device while it is charging. Charging your device over a long period of time, for
example, overnight, does not damage the battery or the device.
15

To charge your device
1
Plug the 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 device, with
the USB symbol facing up. The notification light lights up when charging starts.
4
When the notification light is green, the device is fully charged. Disconnect the
USB cable from your device by pulling it straight outwards. Make sure not to
bend the connector when removing the cable from the device.
Use the charger and USB cable provided with the device to ensure faster charging.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the notification light
lights up after you connect the charger cable to a power source.
Battery notification light status
Green
The battery charge level is greater than 90%
Flashing red The battery level is low
Orange The battery is charging and the battery charge level is less than 90%
To check the battery level
1
From your Home screen, tap
.
2
Find and tap Settings > About phone > Status > Battery level.
Improving battery performance
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:
Charge your device 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 mobile data connections from the
Notification panel by dragging down the status bar. This setting does not prevent
your device from transmitting data over other wireless networks.
Turn off Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® when you don't need these features. You can turn
them on and off more easily from the Notification panel by dragging down the status
bar.
Use the STAMINA mode and Low battery mode features to reduce battery
consumption. You can select the power saving mode that best suits the way you use
your device. 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 your device 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.
16
This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
Turn off your device or activate the Airplane mode setting if you are in an area with
no network coverage. Otherwise, your device 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 your device's own loudspeakers.
Keep your device in standby mode whenever possible. Standby time refers to the
time during which your device is connected to the network and is not being used.
Disable any live wallpaper.
To access the battery usage menu
1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Find and tap Settings > Power management > Battery usage.
Using STAMINA mode
Activate the STAMINA mode feature to pause your Wi-Fi® connection, data traffic
and several power consuming applications when your screen is inactive. When
STAMINA mode is active, you can still receive phone calls, and text and multimedia
messages. You can also set up an applications list to allow some applications to
keep running when your screen is inactive. Once the screen becomes active again, all
paused functions are resumed.
To activate STAMINA mode
1
Drag the status bar downwards, then tap .

Estimating the standby time of your device
Standby time refers to the amount of time the battery can last when your device is
connected to the network but is not in active use, for example, to receive or make
phone calls. STAMINA mode, when activated, continuously evaluates the remaining
standby time, which can vary depending on how you use your device. STAMINA
mode is more effective in lengthening the standby time if you keep the screen of your
device locked. If you rarely lock the screen, you may not see much improvement in
battery performance.
When you use your device for the first time, the estimated standby time may not be accurate
since there is no previous usage history to estimate from.
To view the estimated standby time
1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Find and tap Settings > Power management.
Using Low battery mode
You can activate the Low battery mode feature to save power when the battery level
is low. This feature helps you to adjust the settings for screen brightness, data traffic
and the vibrate function so that you can reduce battery consumption.
