10  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.
10.1  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. 
						

							54
10.1.1  Adding an Account
When you add an account, the Contacts 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 
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.
 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 
Add account.
3.  Touch the kind of account to add.
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 synchronize to the mobile phone, to name 
the account, and for other details. When you are finished, the account is added to 
the list on the 
Accounts & sync settings screen.
10.1.2  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.
 You can only remove the first Google Account by resetting the phone to factory 
defaults.
1. On the 
Accounts & sync settings screen, touch the account to be deleted.
2. Touch Remove account.
3.  Confirm that you want to remove the account. 
						

							55
10.2  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.
For some accounts, synchronization is bi-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 synchronization; the information on your 
mobile phone is read-only.
10.2.1  Configuring General Synchronization Settings
On the Accounts & sync settings screen, do the following:
•  Select or clear the 
Background data check box to control whether applications 
and services can transmit data when you are not working with them directly (that is, 
when they are running in the background).
If you clear this option, 
Gmail/Google Mail stops receiving new mail, Calendar 
stops synchronizing events, and so on, until you refresh them.
•  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.
10.2.2  Changing an Account’s Synchronization Settings
1. On the Accounts & sync settings screen, touch the account whose 
synchronization settings you want to change. The data and synchronization screen 
opens, displaying a list of the kinds of information the account can synchronize.
2.  Selected items are configured to synchronize to your mobile phone.
3.  Select or clear the check box of information you want to synchronize with the 
mobile phone.
