Then youre offered a chance to learn about your phone, youre prompted to create or to sign into your Google Account, and youre asked to make some initial decisions about how you want to use Android and Google features.

Important If you want to restore your settings to this phone from another phone that was running Android release 2.0 or later (see Google services on page 18), you must sign into your Google Account now, during setup. If you wait until after setup is complete, your settings are not restored. If you dont have a Google Account, youre prompted to create one. If you have an enterprise Gmail 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, your contacts, Gmail messages, Calendar events, and other information from these applications and services on the web are synchronized with your phone. If you dont 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 Android Market. When you sign in, youre prompted to enter your username and password, using the onscreen keyboard. For information about navigating the touchscreen and entering text, see Using the touchscreen on page 22 and Using the onscreen keyboard on page 29.
Touch to open the onscreen keyboard, to enter your Google Account username. Touch to enter your password.
When youre finished, touch Done on the keyboard (or press the phones Back button) to close the onscreen keyboard, so you can touch the Sign in button at the bottom of the screen.
If you have a Google Account but have forgotten your password, you must reset it before you can sign in. Go to http://www.google.com, click Sign In, click Cant access your account? in the sign-in box, and then follow the instructions for resetting your password.

Additional accounts
After setup, you can add Google, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Facebook, conventional email, and other kinds of accounts to your phone, and sync some or all of their data, as described in Accounts on page 101. 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, youre asked whether you want to take advantage of the following Google services.
Location You can choose whether to take advantage of Googles 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 321 and Privacy settings on page 326.
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), your data and settings are restored to your new phone when you first sign in. For information about changing this setting later, see Privacy settings on page 326.
Date and time If you arent connected to a mobile network, youre prompted to set
the date and time on your phone. See Date & time settings on page 334.

Touch To act on items on the screen, such as application and settings icons, to type letters and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or to press onscreen buttons, you simply touch them with your finger. Touch & hold Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting
your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a menu for customizing the Home screen, you touch an empty area on the Home screen until the menu opens.
Drag Touch & hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move
your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You drag items on the Home screen to reposition them, as described in Customizing the Home screen on page 46, and you drag to open the Notifications panel, as described in Managing notifications on page 27.
Swipe or slide To swipe or slide, you quickly move your finger across the surface
of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you dont drag an item instead). For example, you slide the screen up or down to scroll a list, and in some Calendar views you swipe quickly across the screen to change the range of time visible.
Double-tap Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map, or other screen to zoom. For
example, you double-tap a section of a webpage in Browser to zoom that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to control the Camera zoom, in Maps, and in other applications. Double-tapping after pinching to zoom in some applications, such as Browser, reflows a column of text to fit the width of the screen.
Pinch In some applications (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can zoom in
and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
Rotate the screen On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates with the
phone as you turn it from upright to its side and back again. You can turn this feature on and off, as described in Sound settings on page 319.

When you receive a notification, its icon appears in the Status bar, along with a summary that appears only briefly. For a table of notification icons, see Notification icons on page 26. The Trackball light pulses once or repeatedly when you receive a new notification.

You can open the Notifications panel to view a list of all your notifications. Applications whose activities produce notifications, such as Gmail and Google Talk, have their own settings, which you can use to configure whether and how they send notifications, whether they sound a ringtone, vibrate, and so on.
