"One of the best things about Android devices is they can keep all of our information in sync. Contacts, calendar, emails, you name it, the same information will show up on all our devices," Burton Kelso, The Technology Expert tells us.

"It's a piece of cake when you enable one syncing service on your Android device, but newer models of Android devices now come with syncing services from your phone provider. If you want to keep all of your information in sync, choose one syncing service ONLY on your phone," he says.


"Having multiple services enabled on your Android phone can cause lost information and duplicate data." Interesting!
