Manage online accounts
You can set up online accounts in the Accounts application, or in
individual applications on your device. The online account must already
be set up on the web or server before you can add it to your device.
Whether you decide to set up your online accounts in the Accounts app
or from within an individual app, the process is the same. You can specify
which apps should get data from the online account. For example, you
can choose to set up your Google account so that your device displays
your Google contacts, Google Talk instant messages, and Gmail
messages, but not your Google calendar events.
• To set up an online account in the Accounts app: See Use the Accounts
application to set up an online account for details.
• To set up within an individual app: The first time you open Email,
Contacts, Calendar, or Messaging, you are given the option to enter
settings for one or more online accounts. See Set up email, Use
Contacts for the first time, Use Calendar for the first time, or Set up an
instant messaging (IM) account.
You can add more accounts at any time using the Accounts app or the
preferences in any of the applications mentioned above. See Set email
preferences, Customize Contacts, Customize Calendar, or Set up an
instant messaging (IM) account.
You can also set up your device to post photos to online accounts such as
Facebook or Snapfish. See Set up an online pictures or videos account on
your device.
See for the current list of default online accounts that synchronize your
info and those that do a one-way transfer of info either from the web to
your device, or from your device to the web.
NOTE If you are setting up your device for the first time and downloading a
large number of contacts or calendar events from an online account to your
KEY TERM Online account An online account is a web-based or server-based
location, such as Google, Yahoo!, or Exchange, where you keep contacts and/
or calendar information. These accounts often have an email component as
well. Such web-based or server-based accounts are sometimes talked about as
being “in the cloud.”
The HP Synergy feature works in the background to get data from an online
account onto your device. After you set up one of these accounts on your
device, you can access the data from that online account. For some kinds of
accounts, you can also add and change data on your device, which is then
synchronized to the online account in the cloud.
