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™.
•
Synchronise your email, contacts and calendar using Gmail™.
•
Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.
•
Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™ web
browser.
•
Identify yourself as the authorised 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.

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.
