Why Do I Need a Google™ Account?
Your Xperia™ device from Sony runs on the Android™ platform developed by Google™.
A range of Google™ applications and services is available on your device when you
purchase it, for example, Gmail™, Google Maps™, YouTube™, and the Play Store™
application which gives you access to the Google Play™ online store for downloading
Android™ applications. To get the most out of these services, you need a Google™
account. For example, a Google™ account enables you to do all of the following:
•Download and install applications from Google Play™.
•Synchronize your email, contacts, and calendar using Gmail™.
•Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.
•Synchronize your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™ web
browser.
•Identify yourself as the authorized user after a software repair using Xperia™ Companion.
•Remotely find, lock, or clear a lost or stolen device using the my Xperia™ or Android™
Device Manager services.
For more information about Android™ and Google™, go to
http://support.google.com .
It is crucial that you remember your Google™ account username and password. In some
situations, you may need to identify yourself for security reasons using your Google™ account.

relevant account.

2Find and tap Settings > Account sync > Add account > Google.

or go online later and create an account at www.google.com/accounts .
To remove a Google™ account
1From your Homescreen, tap .
2Tap Settings > Accounts > Google.
3Select the Google™ account that you want to remove.
4Tap > Remove account.
5Tap Remove account again to confirm.
