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.
1. On the Home screen, touch >
Settings
>
Accounts & sync
. The
screen displays your current synchronization settings and a list of your
current accounts.
In some cases, you may need to obtain account details from IT support.
For example, you may need to know the account’s domain or server
address.
2. Touch
Add account
.
3. Touch the kind of account to add.
4. Follow the onscreen steps to enter the required and optional information
about the account. Most accounts require a username and password, but
the details depend on the kind of account and the configuration of the
service to which you are connecting.
5. Configure the account. Depending on the kind of account, you may be
asked to configure what kind of data you want to synchronize to the mobile
phone, to name the account, and for other details. When you are finished,
the account is added to the list on the
Accounts & sync settings
screen.
10.1.2 Removing an Account
You can remove an account, deleting it and all information associated with it
from your mobile phone, including email, contacts, settings, and so on. You
cannot, however, remove some accounts, such as the first account you
signed into on the mobile phone. If you attempt to remove certain accounts, all
personal information associated with it will be deleted.
You can only remove the first Google Account by resetting the phone to
factory defaults.
1. On the
Accounts & sync settings
screen, touch the account to be deleted.
2. Touch
Sign Out
.
3. Confirm that you want to remove the account.
