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.Press HOME > 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.

Forgot your Google Account password?

1.On your phone or computer, open your web browser and go to   https://www.google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd.

2.Enter the email address or username that you use to sign in to your Google Account.
