10.1.2 Removing an Account
You can remove an account, deleting it and all information associated with it from your
mobile phone, including email, contacts, settings, and so on. You cannot, however,
remove some accounts, such as the first account you signed into on the mobile
phone. If you attempt to remove certain accounts, all personal information associated
with it will be deleted.
You can only remove a Gmail account by resetting the phone to factory defaults.
1. On the
Accounts & sync settings
screen, touch the account to delete.
2. Touch
Sign Out
.
3. Confirm that you want to remove the account.
10.2 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, synchronizing is two-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 synchronize; the information on your
mobile phone is read-only.
10.2.1 Configuring General Sync 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 mail,
Calendar
stops
synchronizing events, and so on, until you touch the
Refresh
menu item or send
an email.
