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
103
Synchronizing Information
always available. You could then add a work account, so your
work-related emails 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.
Note: 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.
104
Synchronizing Information
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 depend on the kind
of account and the configuration of the service to which you
are connecting.
5. Configure the account. Depending on the kind of account, you
may be asked to configure what kind of data you want to sync
to the mobile phone, to name the account, and for other
details. When you are finished, the account is added to the list
in the Accounts & sync settings screen.
Removing an Account
You can remove an account, deleting it and all information
associated with it from your mobile phone, including email,
contacts, settings, and so on. You cannot, however, remove
some accounts, such as the first account you signed into on the
mobile phone. If you attempt to remove certain accounts, all
personal information associated with it will be deleted.
1. On the Accounts & sync settings screen, touch the account

Customizing Your Account
Synchronization
You can configure background data use and synchronization
options for all the applications on your phone. You can also
configure what kind of data you synchronize for each account.
Some applications, such as Contacts and Gmail, can
synchronize data from multiple applications. Others, such as
Calendar, synchronize data only from the first Google account
you signed into on your phone, or from an account associated
specifically with that application.
For some accounts, synchronizing is two-directional; changes
that you make to the information on your mobile phone are made
to the copy of that information on the web. Some accounts
support only one-way synchronize; the information on your
mobile phone is read-only.
106

Configuring General Sync Settings
On the Accounts & sync settings screen, do the following:
• Select or clear the Background data check box to control

If you clear this option, Gmail stops receiving new mail, Calendar
stops synchronizing events, and so on, until you touch the Refresh
menu item or send an email.
• Select or clear the Auto-sync check box to control whether
changes you make to information on the phone or on the web
are automatically synchronized with each other.
For example, when this option is selected, changes that you make in
Contacts on the phone are automatically made in Google Contacts on
the web.
Changing an Account’s Synchronization Settings
