Select or clear the following:
Background data If this is selected, apps can send and receive online account
information even if you are not currently using them.
Auto-sync If this is selected, apps can use the sync schedule defined in the
account settings. If this is cleared, you will need to sync accounts
manually. For instructions on doing this, see “Synchronizing an

synchronized, the kinds of notification you receive, and the way that account
information is displayed.

You cannot remove some accounts, such as the first Google Account you signed into on the
phone, except by deleting all personal information from your phone with a hard reset. For
instructions on doing this, see “Restarting or factory resetting your phone” in the Update and
reset chapter.
