For Google Apps
When location access for your tablet is turned on, you can prevent Google apps
from using this information with one easy setting – without affecting access by
non-Google apps. To do so:
1. Go to
Settings > Accounts > Google > Location Settings
2. Slide the switch to the Off position
IMPORTANT: When you turn Location settings off, non-Google apps and
Google’s location service will continue to receive your location. To change
these settings, go to
Settings > Personal > Location Access.
Change Back-Up & Reset Options
If your tablet has multiple users, only the owner can see the Backup & reset
options. To view the settings described here, go to Settings > Backup & reset.
You can back up settings and other data associated with one or more of your
Google Accounts. If you need to factory reset your device, you can restore your
data for any accounts that were previously backed up.
The following options are available:
Back-Up My Data
If you check this option, a wide variety of your personal data is backed up
automatically, including your Wi-Fi passwords, Chrome bookmarks, a list of the
apps you’ve installed on Google Play, the words you’ve added to the dictionary
used by the onscreen keyboard and most of your customized settings. Some
third-party apps may also take advantage of this feature, so you can restore your
data if you reinstall an app.
If you uncheck this option, your data is longer backed up, and any existing
back-up is deleted from Google servers.
Back-Up Account
Displays the Google Accounts for which data back up is enabled. You must sign in
with one or more of these accounts on a new or reset device to restore from backup.
To add a new account, touch
Backup Account > Add Account.
