What is Android™?
Indexterm: "Android™"
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.

Charging the battery
Indexterm: "charging"
Indexterm: "battery"
Your battery is partly charged when you buy the device. It may take a few minutes
before the battery icon ID: ICN-SONY-STAT-SYS-BATTERY-CHARGE-ANIM3
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.
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a
certain time when the charger is connected. This is to extend battery life and may result in the
charge status showing a level below 100 percent.

4When 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.
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.

Improving battery performance
Indexterm: "device"
Sub-indexterm: "battery"
Sub-indexterm: "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
expanded 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 expanded status bar.
•Use the STAMINA mode [extended_standby_mode_label] and Low battery mode [power_save_mode_label]
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.
•Turn off your device or activate the Airplane mode [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.

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.

Estimating the standby time of your device
Indexterm: "standby time"
Sub-indexterm: "estimating"
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.
