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
notification 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, the Contacts application 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.
