Learn how to use Smart Connect Apps on your Sony Xperia Tablet Z. Use the Smart Connect application to set what happens in your device when you connect or disconnect an accessory. You can also use it to set a specific action or a group of actions to launch on your device at certain times of the day.
For example, when you connect your headset or headphones, you can set an event so that the following actions are launched on your device:
- Between 7am and 9am, when you commute to work, the “WALKMAN” application starts, and the web browser opens the morning paper.
- On the way back from work, the FM radio starts, and a notes app with your shopping list opens.
To start the Smart Connect application
- From your Home screen, tap Apps icon.
- Find and tap Smart Connect.
To create a Smart Connect event
- Start the Smart Connect application. If you are opening Smart Connect for the first time, tap OK to close the introduction screen.
- On the Events tab, tap + add icon.
- Give the event a name, then tap Create.
- Under When, add either an accessory or a time interval, or both.
- Under Do this, add what you want to happen in your device.
- Under At the end, add what you want to happen when you disconnect the accessory or when the time interval comes to an end. If both these conditions are set, the actions start either when you disconnect the accessory, or when the time interval comes to an end.
- To save the event, press Back button.
Note: To add a Bluetooth accessory, you have to first pair it with your device.
