Sensors

Your phone includes a light sensor and a proximity sensor. The light sensor detects the ambient light level and adjusts the brightness of the screen accordingly. The proximity sensor turns the touch screen off when your face touches the screen. This prevents you from unintentionally activating phone functions when you are engaged in a call.

Home screen

The Home screen is the starting point of your phone. You can personalize the Home screen by adding widgets, or by changing the wallpaper and the applications in the corners.

When you add more than one widget, the Home screen extends beyond the screen width. The corners on the Home screen are used to access applications or bookmarks quickly. You can add any application or bookmark to the corners.

When you go to the Home screen, some applications may continue to run in the background. If you do not want applications to run in the background, you should exit each application you have opened before going to the Home screen.

A widget is a part of an application on the Home screen. It displays important information from a particular application. For example, the Sony Ericsson Timescape™ widget displays incoming messages and the Media widget allows you to start playing music directly.
