Set up a Google account

Set up an existing Google account

Have you already used an Android smartphone? If so, you already have a Google account set up on your old device.

Use this account to easily set up your new emporia smartphone.

You will need:

• Internet connection (via Wi-Fi or mobile data)
• Details of your existing Google account: email address ending in @gmail.com and the corresponding password

Tip: Have you forgotten or lost your password? Open your Google account on your old device, tap on ‘Forgot password’ and set up a new password.

How to proceed:

• Step 1: Open settings – Accounts – Add account (this step is not necessary during the installation process)
• Step 2: Enter your Gmail address
• Step 3: Enter your corresponding password
• Step 4: Privacy and terms, settings and permissions for your Google account

(The following step-by-step instructions use the SMART.5 as an example)

Step 1:

Open the ‘all apps’ and ‘settings’ list.
Search for ‘Accounts’ in the list and open it.
Tap on ‘Add account’.
Tap on ‘Google’.

Tip: This step can be skipped during the initial installation.

Steps 2 to 4:

Enter your existing Gmail address.
Enter the corresponding password.
Confirm the terms of use.

Once the setup is complete, all data backed up with your Google account will be transferred to your new smartphone in the background. Depending on the amount of data, this may take some time.
