Your Google Account

You must sign into a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and other Google Applications; to download applications from the Play Store; to back up your settings to Google servers; and to take advantage of other Google services on your phone.

IMPORTANT
  • If you don’t have a Google Account, you’re prompted to create one.

  • If you have an enterprise account through your company or other organization, your IT department may have special instructions on how to sign into that account.

  • When you sign in, you’re prompted to enter your username and password using the on-screen keyboard.

  • When you sign in, your contacts, Gmail messages, Calendar events, and other information from these applications and services on the web are synchronized with your phone.

  • If you don’t sign into a Google Account during setup, you are prompted to sign in or to create a Google Account the first time you start an application that requires one, such as Gmail or Play Store.
