your device.
Synchronization
What is synchronization?
Anytime you are in Email, Calendar, or Contacts, you can set up a
relationship to wirelessly sync data with selected service providers—for
example, Google’s Gmail or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
®
(EAS—check
to see if your company supports this). Sync means that if you enter, change,
or delete information in one location, the change automatically shows up in
the other location. So if you enter a Google contact in the Contacts
application on your phone, the contact appears in your online Google
contacts—no need to enter it twice.
You must already have an account with a service provider before you can set
it up on your phone.
How do I set up synchronization with an online account?
The first time you open Email, Contacts, or Calendar, you are given the
option to enter settings for one or more online accounts (see Set up email,
Use Contacts for the first time, or Use Calendar for the first time). For any
account, you need to enter the settings in only one of these applications to
synchronize data for all three.
You can add additional accounts at any time using the preferences in any of
these applications (see Set email preferences, Customize Contacts, or
Customize Calendar).
You can also set up the Messaging application to work with an online
instant messaging (IM) account (see Set up an instant messaging (IM)
account), and the Photos application to work with an online pictures
account such as Facebook or Photobucket (see Set up an online pictures
account on your phone).
I don’t want to sync calendar or contact information with my
online account—just email
If you do not want to sync an application with an online account, you can
remove that account from within the application. The online account
continues to sync with any other related applications.
1 Open the application.
2 Open the application menu and tap Preferences & Accounts.
3 Tap the account name.
4 Ta p Remove Account, and then tap Remove [app name] Account.
I want to sync with Outlook or Palm Desktop software on my
computer
Your Pre phone does not support synchronization with Palm Desktop
software or Outlook on your desktop computer. Your Pre phone, however,
gives you options for synchronization without a cable. You can sync with
online services that Palm has partnered with so that you can store and sync
your info in online accounts. You can access your data even when you are
not able to make a connection to the web because your data is cached on
your phone.
If you have data from a Palm smartphone in Outlook or Palm Desktop
software, you can do a one-way import of the data to your phone (see
Transferring Data). You can assign this data to sync with an online account.
You can also assign it to the Palm profile account. Data in this account is
backed up to your Palm profile daily, so you can retrieve it if you need to
reset your phone. But it is not a true sync because you cannot change your
Palm profile data anywhere except on your phone.
