Synchronizing with a Google Account
Signing in to your Google Account lets you synchronize Gmail/Google Mail 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 applications 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 applications. 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 synchronize Gmail/Google Mail and contacts. Other Google
services use the first Google Account you added.
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Accounts & sync.
Tap Add account > Google.
Follow the onscreen instructions to sign in to an account or create a new
account.
