Configuring account sync settings
You can configure background data use and synchronization options for
all of the applications on your phone. You can also configure what types
of data you synchronize for each account. Some applications, such as
Gmail and Calendar, have their own synchronization settings.
NOTES
• Some applications, such as Contacts, Gmail, and Calendar, can
sync data from multiple applications. Others sync data only from
the first Google account you sign into on your phone, or from an
account associated specifically with that application.
• For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you
make to the information on your phone are made to the copy of
that information on the web. Your Google account works this way.
Other accounts support only one-way sync; the information on your
phone is read-only.
Configuring general sync settings
1. From the Home screen, tap the Menu key > Settings.
2. Tap the account type you would like to sync.
3. Slide the ON or OFF position to control whether changes you make
to information on the phone or on the web are automatically synced
with each other.
For example, when this option is checked, changes that you make in
Contacts on the phone are automatically made in Google Contacts
on the web.
If you uncheck this option, you may be able to use an application’s
tools to sync data manually. You can also sync account data
manually from the Sync screen. For more information, see “Syncing
information manually” on page 113.
