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.
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.
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.
