Sign into Your Google Account
If you have a Google Account but have not yet signed in with your phone, follow these instructions to
sign in to your Google Account.
1. Launch an application that requires a Google Account (such as Play Store or Gmail).
2. Tap Existing.
Note: If you do not already have a Google Account, tap New and follow the on-screen prompts to
create your new account.
3. Tap the Email and Password fields and enter your information.
4. Tap Sign in.
5. Select Join Google+ to join or Not now to skip this step and join later.
6. Read the disclaimer about Backup and restore and checkmark to keep the phone backed up
with the Google Account. Then, tap Next.
Your phone then communicates with the Google servers to confirm your information.
Important: Some applications, such as Calendar, work only with the primary Google Account (the
first Google Account set up with your phone). If you plan to use more than one Google Account with
your phone, be sure to sign into the one you want to use with such applications first. When you sign
in, your contacts, Gmail messages, Calendar events, and other information from these applications
and services on the web can be synchronized with your phone. You will be prompted to sign in or to
create a Google Account the first time you start an application that requires one, such as Gmail or
Play Store.
