Android basics

Starting Android for the first time

The first time you power on your phone (after setting it up, as described in the previous section), you’re introduced to the latest features of your phone. Touch Next to proceed.

Your Google Account

You must sign into a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and other Google Apps; to download applications from Android Market; to back up your settings to Google servers; and to take advantage of other Google services on your phone.

If you don’t sign into a Google Account during setup, you are prompted to sign in or to create a Google Account the first time you start an application that requires one, such as Gmail or Android Market.

Important If you want to restore your settings to this phone from another phone that was running Android release 2.0 or later, you must sign into your Google Account now, during setup. If you wait until after setup is complete, your set- tings are not restored.

If you don’t have a Google Account, touch Google Account in the Customize your phone screen, and then tap Next > Sign in.

Touch to open the onscreen keyboard, to enter your Google Account username.

Touch to enter your password.

When you’re finished, press the phone’s Back button to close

the onscreen keyboard, so you can touch the Sign in button at

the bottom of the screen.

When you sign in, you’re prompted to enter your username and password, using the onscreen keyboard.
