Synchronizing Information
Some applications on your mobile phone give you access to the same personal
information that you can add, view, and edit on your computer. If you add, change, or
delete your information in any of these applications on the web, the updated
information also appears on your mobile phone.
This is made possible through over-the-air data synchronization. The process
occurs in the background and does not interfere with use of your mobile phone.
When your phone is synchronizing, a data synchronization icon will be shown in the
notification bar.
Managing Your Accounts
You can synchronize contacts, email, and other information on your mobile phone
with multiple Google accounts or other kinds of accounts, depending on the
applications installed on your mobile phone.
For example, you can start by adding your personal Google account, so your
personal email, contacts, and calendar are always available. You could then add a
work account, so your work-related emails and work contacts are handy. If you like,
you may add multiple Google accounts or other accounts.
Adding an Account
When you add an account, Contacts compares contacts from the newly
synchronized account with contacts from your existing mobile phone accounts and
attempts to merge duplicates into a single entry in
Contacts. While it is presented as
a single contact entry, the contact data itself is not merged.
1. Touch > Settings > Accounts & sync. The screen displays your current
synchronization settings and a list of your current accounts.
In some cases, you may need to obtain account details from an IT support. For
example, you may need to know the account’s domain or server address.
2. Touch Add account.
3. Touch the kind of account to add.
4. Follow the onscreen steps to enter the required and optional information about
the account. Most accounts require a username and password, but the details
