Get started
When you first turn on your phone or tablet, you’ll see a
Welcome screen. Choose the language you want and touch
the arrow to continue.
IMPORTANT:
To complete the setup process, it’s best to have
a Wi-Fi connection.
Sign in to your account
When prompted, sign in with your Google Account or create
one. Signing in lets you immediately access everything
associated with your Google Account, like Gmail and
Calendar.
TIP:
If you have another Android device, Tap & Go lets you
quickly set up a new device just by holding the two devices
back to back and slowly sliding one up and down against the
other. Google Account and apps that were already backed up
will automatically be copied over to the new device.
An email address used for any of the following counts as a
Google Account:
Gmail
YouTube
Google Play
AdWords
Any other Google product
When you sign in, you can easily get all the apps you’ve
purchased on Google Play onto your new device. All the email,
contacts, calendar events, and other data associated with
that account are automatically synced with your device.
For example, if you change a friend’s phone number on your
phone, that change also appears on your tablet and any
computer where you’re signed in to your Google Account.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you remember the password you use
to sign into your device or else you won’t be able to access it.
