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. 41
