About online accounts

These are some of the types of information your phone can sync with your online accounts:

Gmail™, Yahoo!®, and Exchange ActiveSync email.

Google and Exchange ActiveSync contacts, as well as your friends’ contact information in Facebook®, Twitter™, Qik™, and Yahoo!. For information on contacts, see the Contacts chapter.

Calendar events from your primary Google Account, from Exchange ActiveSync, and from your Facebook account. For information on using Calendar, see the Calendar chapter.

Status updates and links shared by your friends and yourself on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. For details, see the Social chapter.

Flickr™ and Facebook photo uploads. For information on viewing photos, see the Photos, videos, and music chapter.

You can set up an Exchange ActiveSync account on your phone either in the Mail app or the Accounts & sync setting.

To set it up in the Mail app, see "Adding a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account" in the Email chapter.

Synchronizing with a Google Account

Signing in to your Google Account lets you sync Gmail and your Google contacts and calendars between your phone and the Web. You also need to sign in to a Google Account to use Google apps such as Google Talk™ and Android Market™.

If you skipped signing in to a Google Account when you first set up your phone, you may encounter problems when using some Google apps. If these problems persist, you may need to factory reset your phone and enter your Google Account details when you set up the phone again. To factory reset your phone, see "Restarting or factory resetting your phone" in the Update and reset chapter.

Adding more Google Accounts

You can add more than one Google Account on your phone. However, subsequent Google Accounts can only sync contacts, emails, and calendar events. Other Google services use the first Google Account you added.

1.From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Accounts & sync.

2.Tap Add account > Google.

3.Follow the onscreen instructions to sign in to an account or create a new account.
