Configuring Account Sync and Display Options
You can configure background data use and synchronization options
for all of the applications on your phone. You can also configure
what kinds of data you synchronize for each account. Some
applications, such as Gmail and Calendar, have their own
synchronization settings.
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

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.
