Sony Ericsson signature features
Xperia™ neo comes with a range of Sony Ericsson features as standard. Below is a summary of the key
signature features.
Sony Ericsson Timescape™
The place to meet your friends
The Timescape™ application manages all your communication with one person in one place. You can
effortlessly browse by category your Facebook™, Twitter™, email and text communications, as well as
view your photos. Now everything is all together and in chronological order, so you don't have to open
different applications to see what's going on.
Infinite button
Everything you want – from everywhere
Tap the infinite button in the Timescape™ application and smart filter each category of communication by
person. For example, when viewing a text message from a friend in Timescape™, tap the infinite button to
view a list of all chat messages with that friend.
Sony Ericsson Sync
Your mobile life on the web
Synchronise your phone data using Sony Ericsson Sync so that you always have a backup. While you’re
at it, match your phone contacts with your Facebook™ contacts. All your synchronised phone data is right
Sony Ericsson Local connectivity
More control over your media
Using Sony Ericsson Local connectivity, you can exercise more control over how media files get trans-
ferred and stored. For example, you can select MTP mode to transfer files if you want to limit the risk of
data corruption or select MSC mode if you want to have more control over the data storage.
Sony Ericsson Home screen application
The place you call Home
Customise your Home screen with widgets, shortcuts, folders, themes, wallpaper and other items.
Where’s best for you? Email top right? Music player bottom left? You decide. With four extensions to your
Home screen, you’ve got plenty of space to put things where you want. Just remember to flick left or right
to find them.
* Applications from the Android Market™ vary widely in size, from less than 100 KB for small utilities to 3-4
MB for full games, music player applications, or other major offerings. The average size, if a representative
selection of useful and fun applications is selected, is about 1 MB. This means that, on average, more than
100 applications can be downloaded and used on your device without negatively impacting performance.
With the ready availability of the Android Market™ application in the phone, it is also very easy to delete
and later reinstall infrequently used applications.
** Note: Some of the services mentioned above may not be available in all markets.

Positioning – location based services
Supported standards:
• OMA Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) v1.0
• 3GPP™ Control Plane location (incl. Emergency location)
• Qualcomm® GPSOneXtra™
Supported satellite systems:
GPS
GLONASS*
* NOTE: GPS and GLONASS are used together to calculate the position. With both systems active, the
accuracy and robustness of the positioning is better in most conditions. The usage of GLONASS as an
additional system is transparent both to users and developers, and the benefits are automatically available
to applications currently using the Satellite Positioning API (“GPS Provider” in Android terminology).
