10.2 Customizing Your Account
Synchronization
You can configure background data use and synchronization options for all
the applications on your phone. You can also configure what kind of data you
synchronize for each account.
For some accounts, synchronization is bi-directional; changes that you make
to the information on your mobile phone are made to the copy of that
information on the web. Some accounts support only one-way
synchronization; the information on your mobile phone is read-only.
10.2.1 Configuring General Synchronization Settings
On the
Accounts & sync settings
screen, do the following:
• Select or clear the
Background data
check box to control whether
applications and services can transmit data when you are not working with
them directly (that is, when they are running in the background).
If you clear this option,
Gmail
™ stops receiving new mails,
Calendar
stops synchronizing events, and so on, until you refresh them.
• Select or clear the
Auto-sync
check box to control whether changes you
make to information on the phone or on the web are automatically
synchronized with each other.
For example, when this option is selected, changes that you make in
Contacts
on the phone are automatically made in Google Contacts on
the web.
10.2.2 Changing an Account’s Synchronization Settings
1. On the
Accounts & sync settings
screen, touch the account whose
synchronization settings you want to change. The data and synchronization
screen opens, displaying a list of the kinds of information the account can
synchronize.
2. Selected items are configured to synchronize to your mobile phone.
3. Select or clear the check box of information you want to synchronize with
the mobile phone.
