Syncing
Configure Sync Options
You can configure synchronization options for any of your apps. You can also
decide what kinds of data to synchronize for each account.
For some accounts, syncing is two-way; changes that you make to the
information on your Sero 8 are made to the copy of that information on the
web. Your Google Account works this way. Other accounts support only one-
way sync: the information on your mobile device is read-only.
Configure Auto-sync for All Apps
To control Auto-sync for all apps that use it, go to Settings > WIRELESS &
NETWORKS > Data usage > Menu icon , and check or uncheck Auto-sync
data.
If you turn off Auto-sync, you need to sync manually to collect messages,
email, and other recent information, and won’t receive notifications when
updates occur. For example, changes that you make in your People app are
automatically made to your Google contacts on the web.
NOTE
Leaving Auto-sync off can help extend your battery life, but will prevent
you from receiving notifications when updates occur.
Configure Google Account Sync Settings
To adjust a single Google Account’s sync settings:
1. Go to Settings > PERSONAL > Accounts > Google .

simply stops it from being kept in sync with the version on the web.
