Additional accounts

After setup, you can add Google, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, conventional email, and other kinds of accounts to your phone, and sync some or all of their data, as described in “Accounts” on page 127. However, only the first Google Account you sign into is backed up to Google servers. Some applications that only work with a single account display data only from the first account that you sign into.

Google services

When you sign in, you’re asked whether you want to take advantage of the following Google services.

Location You can choose whether to take advantage of Google’s location service, which provides applications with your approximate location without using GPS, and whether to use your location for Google search results and other Google services. For information about changing these settings later, see “Location & security settings” on page 365 and “Privacy settings” on page 370.

Backup You can choose to back up some of your data, such as your bookmarks, your user dictionary, your Wi-Fi passwords, and many other settings, to your Google Account, on Google servers. Some third-party applications may also take advantage of this feature. That way, when you need to replace your phone (when you upgrade or replace a lost phone), or if you reinstall an application, you can restore your settings and other data. For information about changing this setting later, see “Privacy settings” on page 370.

Date and time If you aren’t connected to a mobile network, you’re prompted to set the date and time on your phone. See “Date & time settings” on page 378.
