Accounts
For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you
make to the information on your device are synchronized with
the accounts on the Web or computer. Your Google Account
synchronizes in a two-directional manner. Other accounts
support only one-way sync; the information changed on your
phone is only changed on your phone.
To configure general sync settings:
1. Press
> > Settings > Accounts & Sync.
Touch the account to configure it.
Sync status
㻊
indicates that some, or all, of an account’s information
is configured to sync automatically with your device.
㻊
indicates that none of an account’s information is
configured to sync automatically with your device.
2. Tap Background Data to enable or disable whether
applications can use your data connection to synchronize
data while the applications run in the background.
If you disable this option, the Gmail and Calendar
㻊
applications will not automatically receive updates until
they are manually refreshed (using their respective
options menu).
3. Tap Auto-Sync to enable or disable whether changes
you make to information on the device or on the web are
automatically synced with each other.
