2. Select or clear the following:
Background data. If this is selected, applications can send and receive online account
information even if you are not currently using them.

settings. If this is cleared, you will need to sync accounts manually. For instructions on doing
this, see “Synchronizing an account manually” below.

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

Removing an account
You can remove an account to delete it and all information associated with it from your phone,
for example messages, contacts, or settings. Removing an account does not delete information
from the online service itself.

2. Tap the account that you want to remove.
3. Tap Remove account, and then confirm that you want to remove the account.
Your corporate Exchange Server must support auto-detect for the phone to automatically set up the
Exchange ActiveSync account. If your corporate Exchange Server does not support auto-detect, you will
need to enter your Exchange Server settings after you tap Next. Ask your Exchange Server administrator
for details.
You cannot remove some accounts, such 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
"Performing a hard/factory reset" in the Backup, update and reset chapter.
