Security
Wireless connections and content sharing all demand security:
•Range: NFC only works over a short range (about
4 cm/1.5 inches), so it's unlikely you’ll connect by
mistake—if you did, you would still have to accept the
connection to send or receive information.
• Encryption: Your phone uses the latest security, encryption,
and authentication features to protect your personal
information for mobile payments and content sharing.
Yo u r c l o u d
One account with access to everything, everywhere—phone,
tablet, computer.
Sync your Google™ account
When you log in to the same Google account, all devices can
get to all the same apps, movies, books, and music from
Google Play™—plus you share the same Gmail™, Google
Calendar™, and Google Monile™. To add accounts to your
phone, tap Apps >
Settings
, go to the
ACCOUNTS
section, and tap
Add account

Phone & tablet
Your Android™ phone and tablet can work together to help
you get the most out of both:
• Transfer media and files: Copy files to your phone and
transfer them to other devices—see “Transfer files” on
page 51.
• Phone hotspot: If you have a Wi-Fi tablet, turn your phone
into a Wi-Fi hotspot to let your tablet access the Internet
anywhere—see “Wi-Fi hotspot” on page 52.
• Bluetooth® accessories: If you have a Bluetooth keyboard
or other accessories to use with your tablet, remember you
can use them with your phone too. To connect them, see
“Bluetooth® wireless” on page 50.
Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
A VPN lets you access files on a secured network (like an office
network with a firewall). Contact the network administrator to
ask for VPN settings, and any additional apps or other
requirements.
To enter VPN settings, tap Apps >

network administrator. The network is stored in the
VPN
list so
you can select it whenever you need to connect.
