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 is mandatory if you want to:

Download and install applications from Google Play™.

Synchronise email, contacts and the 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.

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.
If you fail to give your Google™ username and password in such situations, your device is
locked. Also, if you have more than one Google™ account, make sure to enter the details for
the relevant account.
