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. When 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
when you are using 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, Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync 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
126
Synchronizing Information
always available. Then you can add an Exchange ActiveSync
account from work, so you can read your work email and have
your work contacts handy. You can even add multiple Google
accounts and other accounts.
Adding an Account
When you add an account, Contacts compares any new
contacts that you synchronize to your mobile phone with your
existing contacts and attempts to merge duplicates into a single
entry in Contacts. This does not merge that data for the
accounts themselves; it just presents it as a single contact.
1. Touch
> Settings > Accounts & sync. The screen
displays your current synchronization settings and a list of
your current accounts.
Note: To add some accounts, you may need to obtain details from an
IT support representative about the service to which the account
connects. 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.
127
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, name the account, and other details.
When you are finished, the account is added to the list in the
Accounts & sync settings screen.
Depending on how you configured the account, email, contacts,
and other information start syncing to your mobile phone.
Removing an Account
You can remove an account to delete it and all information
associated with it from your mobile phone, including email,
contacts, settings, and so on. You cannot remove some
accounts, such as the first account you signed into on the mobile
phone, if you attempt to remove certain accounts, all the
personal information associated with it will be deleted.
128
Synchronizing Information
1. On the Accounts & sync settings screen, touch the account
to delete.
2. Touch Remove account.
3. Confirm that you want to remove 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.
129
Synchronizing Information
Configuring General Sync Settings
On the Accounts & sync settings screen, do the following:

are not working with them directly (that is, when they are
running in the background).
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.
