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.
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, the
People
application 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
People
. While it is presented as a single contact
entry, the contact data itself is not merged.
1. On the home screen, touch > All > Add account.
In some cases, you may need to obtain account details from IT support. For
example, you may need to know the account’s domain or server address.
2. Touch the kind of account to add.
3. Follow the onscreen steps to enter the required and optional information about the
account. Most accounts require a username and password, but the details depend
on the kind of account and the configuration of the service to which you are
connecting.
4. When you are finished, the account is added to the list on the screen.
