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 notifications 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.
10.1.1 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.4.  Follow the on-screen 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.
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.
1. On the Accounts & sync settings screen, touch the account to delete. 
						

							45
2. Touch Remove account.3.  Confirm that you want to remove the account.
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, 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.
10.2.1 Configuring General Sync 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 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.
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 to the mobile phone.
