:
Some applications, such as Calendar, work only with the primary Google
Account (the first Google Account set up with your phone). If you plan to use
more than one Google Account with your phone, be sure to sign into the one you
want to use with such applications first. When you sign in, your contacts, Gmail
messages, Calendar events, and other information from these applications and
services on the web can be synchronized with your phone. You will be 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.
