Android™ – what and why?  
An Android™ phone can perform many of the same functions as a computer and you  
can customize it to your own needs. For example, you can add and delete applications,  
or enhance existing applications to improve functionality. At Android Market™ 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.  
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  
Your phone has an embedded battery.  
Charging the battery  
Your 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 charger  
cable to a power source, such as a USB port or a phone charger. 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.

Improving battery performance  
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:  
Charge your phone frequently. 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.  
You can do this from Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Data  
enabled. 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.  
Set your synchronization applications (used to synchronize your email, calendar and  
contacts) to synchronize manually. You can also synchronize automatically, but increase  
the synchronization 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.  
Close and exit applications that you are not using.  
Lower the screen display brightness level.  
Turn off your phone or use Airplane 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 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.

Using the touchscreen  
A protective plastic sheet is attached to the screen of your phone when you buy it. You  
should peel off this sheet before using the touchscreen. Otherwise, the touchscreen  
might not function properly.  
When your phone 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 your phone content.

Sensors  
Your phone includes a light sensor and a proximity sensor. 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.  
Home screen  
Your phone's Home screen is the equivalent of the desktop on a computer. It's the  
gateway to your phone's main features. You can customize your Home screen with  
widgets, shortcuts, folders, themes, wallpaper, and other items.  
The Home screen extends beyond the regular screen display width, so you need to flick  
left or right to view content in one of the screen's four extensions.

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.

WPS  
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a computing standard that helps you establish secure  
wireless network connections. If you have little background knowledge of wireless  
security, WPS makes it easy for you to set up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption  
to secure your network. You can also add new devices to an existing network without  
entering long passwords.  
Use one of these methods to enable WPS:  
Push button method – simply push a button on a WPS access point, for example, a  
router.  
PIN method – your phone creates a random PIN (Personal Identification Number), which  
you enter on the network access point device.

Virtual private networks (VPNs)  
Use your phone to connect to virtual private networks (VPNs), which allow you to access  
resources inside a secured local network from outside the actual network. For example,  
VPN connections are commonly used by corporations and educational institutions for  
users who need to access intranets and other internal services when they are outside of  
the internal network, for example, when they are travelling.  
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 your phone to a computer on page 106 for more information on how to  
transfer content to your phone. For detailed information on how to set up a connection  
to your virtual private network, please contact the network administrator of your  
company or organization.

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  
Cell 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.

Bluetooth™ wireless technology  
Use the Bluetooth™ function to send files to other Bluetooth™ compatible devices, or to  
connect to handsfree accessories. Turn on the Bluetooth™ function in your phone and  
create wireless connections to other Bluetooth™ compatible devices such as  
computers, handsfree accessories, and phones. Bluetooth™ connections work better  
within a 10 meter (33 foot) range, with no solid objects in between. In some cases you  
have to manually pair your phone with other Bluetooth™ devices. Remember to set your  
phone to "discoverable" if you want other Bluetooth™ devices to detect it.

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.  
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 them 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 you can use them on  
your phone.  
USB connection modes  
The two most common methods to share data between your phone and other devices  
using a USB cable are Media transfer protocol (MTP) mode and Mass storage (MSC)  
mode.  
Media transfer mode (MTP) – the most common protocol for communication with  
Windows computers. MTP mode is for data transfer between a computer and the  
phone's internal storage only. It doesn't work for transferring data to or from a memory  
card in the phone. MTP mode is enabled by default.  
Mass storage mode (MSC) – the most common way to connect phones with media  
devices such as TVs, car kits, and Mac OS/Linux computers lacking MTP support. MSC  
mode only works for data transfers between other devices and a memory card in the  
phone. It doesn't work for transferring data to or from the phone's internal storage.

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

Using location services to find your  
position  
Use your phone to find out where you are. There are two methods: GPS and wireless  
networks. Enable the wireless networks option if you only need your approximate  
location, and want it fast. If you want a more exact position, and have a clear view of the  
sky, enable the GPS option. In situations where the wireless network connection is weak,  
you should enable both options to ensure that your location is found.

Using GPS  
Your phone has a global positioning system (GPS) receiver that uses satellite signals to  
calculate your location.  
Getting the best performance  
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.

Hearing Aid Compatibility Information  
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless  
technologies it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in  
this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try  
the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your  
hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult  
your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid  
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your  
service provider or phone retailer.  
Hearing Aid Compatibility Rating  
This model handset was designed to comply with the requirements set forth in Section  
20.19 of the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) rules governing hearing aid  
compatibility (HAC), for the reduction of RF interference and magnetic coupling (T-coil) to  
hearing aids. The Microphone (M) rating and T-coil (T) rating is defined and labeled on  
the handset box. Devices meeting HAC compliance must have a minimum M3 and/or T3  
rating or above as defined by the FCC in accordance with the latest ANSI Standard  
C63.19. The (M) rating refers to lower RF emission levels of the handset. The (T) rating  
refers to the magnetic coupling between the handset and the T-coil compatible hearing  
aid. Some hearing aids are also provided an (M) rating, and are more immune than  
others to interference. To determine the (M) rating of your hearing aid, please contact  
your hearing health professional. More information about digital wireless devices and  
hearing aid compatibility can be found at www.sonyericsson-snc.com.
