The first time you start your Sony Xperia Z, a setup guide opens to explain basic functions and help you enter essential settings. This is a good time to configure the device to your specific needs. You can also access the setup guide later from the Application screen.
To access the setup guide manually
- From the Home screen, tap Apps icon.
- Tap Settings > Setup guide.
Accounts and services
Sign in to your online service accounts from your device to get easy access when you’re on the move. For example, you can integrate contacts from your Google account into your phonebook, so you have everything in one place. You can sign up to new online services from your device as well as from a computer.
Google account
Having a Google account is key to using a range of applications and services with your Android device. You need a Google account, for example, to use the Gmail application in your device, chat with friends using Google Talk, and synchronize the calendar application on your device with your Google Calendar. You also need a Google account to download applications and games, music, movies, and books from Google Play.
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account
Synchronize your device with your corporate Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account. This way, you keep your work email, contacts, and calendar events with you at all times.
Facebook account
Facebook is a social networking service that connects you with friends, family, and colleagues around the world. Set up Facebook to work on your device so that you can stay in touch from anywhere.
