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, synchronization is bi-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 synchronization; the information on your
mobile phone is read-only.
10.2.1 Configuring General Synchronization 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 mails, Calendar stops
synchronizing events, and so on, until you refresh them.
• Select or clear the Auto-sync check box to control whether changes you make to
information on the phone or on the web are automatically synchronized with each
other.
For example, when this option is selected, changes that you make in Contacts on
the phone are automatically made in Google Contacts on the web.
10.2.2 Changing an Account's Synchronization Settings
1. On the Accounts & sync settings screen, select Background data and Auto-sync.
2. Touch the account for which you want to change the synchronization settings. The
data and synchronization screen opens, displaying a list of the kinds of information
the account can synchronize.
3. Select the items you want to synchronize from the list. Your phone will
automatically synchronize the selected items.
