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.
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.
