Accounts & sync settings
Use the Accounts & sync settings to add, remove, and manage your Google 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, Calendar, and other applications may also have their own settings to control
how they synchronize data: see the sections on those applications for details.
Accounts & sync settings screen
Background data
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
Check to permit applications to synchronize data on their own schedule. If you
uncheck this setting, you must touch an account in the list on this screen, press
Menu, and touch Sync now to synchronize data for that account. Synchronizing
data automatically (and this checkbox) is disabled if Background data is
unchecked.
Manage accounts
The remainder of this screen lists the Google and other accounts you've added to
the phone. Adding accounts is described in "Accounts" on page 105.
If you touch an account in this screen, its account screen opens.
Account screen
This screen is different, depending on the kind of account.
For Google accounts, it lists the kinds of data you can synchronize to the phone,
with check boxes so you can turn synchronizing on and off for each kind. You can
also press Menu and touch Sync now to synchronize data. Touch the Remove
account button 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 factory defaults and erasing all your user
data (see "Privacy settings" on page 269).
