Before Setting up Google Apps
In order to access Stony Brook's Google Apps from a mobile device, you have to first change your NetID password in SOLAR.
It takes 10-15 minutes for the new password to take effect, so if your NetID password is not immediately accepted while following the below steps, it may be because your password is not yet synchronized with Google's servers. Wait a few more minutes and try again.
