Create a Google Account
You must create and/or sign into a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Hangouts™, Google
Calendar™, and other Google Apps. Signing into a Google Account is also necessary to download
applications from the Google Play store app to sync your data (if applicable) with the Google servers,
and to take advantage of any other available Google services on your phone.
If you don't have a Google Account, you will be prompted to create one. If you have an enterprise
account through your company or other organization, your IT department may have special
instructions on how to sign into that account.
1. From a computer, or from your phone's Browser, navigate to www.google.com.
2. On the main page, tap or click Sign in > Create an account.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to create your free account.
4. Log into your provided email address, locate the email from Google, and respond to the new
email to both confirm and activate your new account.
Sign into Your Google Account
If you have a Google Account but have not yet signed in with your phone, follow these instructions to
sign in to your Google Account.
1. Launch an application that requires a Google Account (such as Play Store or Gmail).
2. Enter a Google Account and tap NEXT.
Note: If you do not already have a Google Account, tap Or create new account and follow the on-
screen prompts to create your new account.
3. Enter your Password and tap NEXT.
4. Select if you want to back up your phone's apps, app data, settings, and Wi-Fi passwords and
tap NEXT.
5. Checkmark the entries you want to sync (if necessary) and tap NEXT.
Your phone then communicates with the Google servers to confirm your information.
Important: Some applications, such as Calendar, work only with the primary Google Account (the
first Google Account set up with your phone). If you plan to use more than one Google Account with
your phone, be sure to sign into the one you want to use with such applications first. When you sign
in, your contacts, Gmail messages, Calendar events, and other information from these applications
and services on the Web can be synchronized with your phone. You will be prompted to sign in or to
create a Google Account the first time you start an application that requires one, such as Gmail or
Play Store.
