Synchronizing
your Gmail email account with your Android cell phone or tablet helps you
access your important email messages, contacts and calendars easily whenever
you require them. For doing so, you can get the benefit of the native Gmail app
on the Android device to make synchronization. In the event of any questions,
you can get the answer from experts simply by dialing a
phone number for Gmail customer service. Here’s how to sync Gmail with
Android device:
Phase 1 - Add a New Gmail Account to Your Smartphone
By default,
while setting up the Android phone for the first time, you need to connect it
to the Google account. To add a new Gmail account, you can start by launching
the native Gmail app. Touch the ‘Menu’ three-line icon in the upper corner of
the application, mode down and choose the ‘Add Account’ option. As an account type, select ‘Google’ and tap
‘OK.’ Touch the ‘Existing’ button to specific you wish to sync with the current
Gmail account, and then type the email address and the related password in the
appreciate fields to complete configuring the account on your phone.
Phase 2 - Customize Email Sync Settings
While
configuring Gmail account for using on the phone, the Gmail app imports the
current emails automatically from the account. To change the synchronization
settings, touch the ‘Menu’ three-line icon in the upper corner of the Gmail application
and choose the ‘Settings’ tab. Choose your recently-added account and put a
check mark next to the ‘Sync Gmail’ box to allow automatic synchronizing. Tap
the ‘Days of Mail to Sync’ icon and choose the period you want to store email
messages on the smartphone. Select the ‘Download Attachments’ check box if you
would like the Gmail app to synchronize attachments from the account as well.
Phase 3 - Syncing Contacts
Once you
add the Gmail account to your Android phone or tablet, contacts are synced automatically
with the Contacts app. To import contacts individually from other sections,
access the Contacts app, tap the ‘Menu’ icon and choose the ‘Settings’ tab. Tap
the ‘Import/Export’ icon and continue with the instructions to synchronize
contacts from the preferred location.
Phase 4 - Syncing Calendars
Get the
benefit of the native Calendar application to sync the calendars onto the
phone. Along with contacts, the Calendar application routinely syncs with all
accounts to Gmail related to the device. Each time you add a new account to the
Gmail app, for example, the Calendar app identifies the new Gmail account and
syncs with any related calendars automatically. To enable and disable syncing
for an accurate calendar, touch the ‘Menu’ icon in the upper corner of the app,
tap ‘Settings’ icon, then choose the particular calendar and shift ‘Sync’ to
the on or off location.
