Development screen
The Development screen contains settings that are useful for
developing Android
TM
applications. For full information, including
documentation of the Android APIs and development tools, see the
Android developer website (http://developer.android.com).
USB debugging
Checkmark to permit debugging tools on a computer
to communicate with your phone via a USB connection.
Stay awake
Checkmark to prevent the screen from dimming and
locking when it is connected to a charger or to a USB device that
provides power. Don’t use this setting with a static image on the phone
for long periods of time, or the screen may be marked with that image.
Allow mock locations
Checkmark to permit a development tool on
a computer to control where the phone believes it is located, rather
than using the phone’s own internal tools for this purpose.
Accounts & sync
Use the Accounts & sync settings menu to add, remove, and manage your
Google
TM
and other supported accounts. You also use these settings to control
how and whether all applications send, receive, and sync data on their own
schedules and whether all applications can synchronize user data automatically.
Gmail
TM
, Calendar, and other applications may also have their own
settings to control how they synchronize data; see the sections on those
applications for details.
General sync settings
Background
data
Checkmark to permit applications to synchronize
data in the background, whether or not you’re actively working in them.
Removing the checkmark can save battery power and lowers (but does
not eliminate) data use.
Auto-sync
Checkmark to permit applications to synchronize, send, and
receive data on their own schedule. If you remove the checkmark, you
must touch an account in the list on this screen and touch the
Menu Key
>
Sync now
to synchronize data for that account. Synchronizing data
automatically is disabled if
Background data
is uncheckmarked.
