Accounts & sync settings
screen
Background data
Permits
applications to synchronize data
in the background, whether or
not you are actively working in
them. Unchecking this setting
can save battery power and
lowers (but does not eliminate)
data use.
Auto-sync
Permits applications
to synchronize, send, and receive
data on their own schedule. If
you uncheck this setting, you
must touch an account in the
list on this screen or press the
Menu Key
and touch
Sync now
to synchronize data
for that account. Synchronizing
data automatically is disabled if
Background data is unchecked.
Manage accounts
List of all
Google Accounts and other
accounts you’ve added to the
phone.
If you touch an account in this
screen, its account screen
opens.
Account screen
This screen contains different
options, depending on the kind
of account.
For Google Accounts, it lists
the kinds of data you can
synchronize to the phone, with
checkboxes so you can turn
synchronizing on and off for
each kind. You can also press
the
Menu Key
and touch
Sync now to synchronize data.
Touch the
Remove Account
icon
to remove the account along
with all its data (contacts, mail,
settings, and so on). You can’t
remove the first Google Account
you added to your phone except
by resetting your phone to the
factory defaults and erasing all
of your user data.
