configure what kind of data you synchronize for each
account.
Some applications, such as Contacts and Gmail, can
synchronize data from multiple accounts. Others, such as
Calendar, synchronize data only from the first Google
account you signed into on your phone, or from an account
specifically associated with the applications.
For some accounts, synchronization is bi-directional;
changes that you make to the information on your phone are
made to the copy of that information on the web. Some
accounts support only one-way synchronization; the
information on your phone is read-only.
Configuring General Synchronization Settings
On the Accounts & sync settings screen, do the following:
• Select or clear Background data to control whether
applications and services can transmit data when you are
not directly working with them (that is, when they are
running in the background).
If you clear Background data, the Gmail application stops
receiving new mail, the Calendar stops synchronizing events, and
so on, until you touch Refresh or send an email.
• Select or clear Auto-sync to control whether changes you
make to information on the phone or on the web are
automatically synchronized with each other.
For example, when Auto-sync is selected, changes that you make
in Contacts on the phone are automatically made in Google
Contacts on the web.
