Conguring Account Sync
You can configure background data use and synchronization options for all of the
applications on your light. You can also congure what kinds of data you synchronize
for each account. Some applications, such as Gmail and Calendar, have their own
synchronization settings.
Some applications, such as Contacts, Gmail, and Calendar, can sync data from multiple
applications. Others sync data only from the rst Google Account you sign into on your
light, or from an account associated specically with that application.
For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you make to the information
on your light are made to the copy of that information on the web. Your Google Account
works this way. Other accounts support only one-way sync; the information on your light
is read-only.
Congure General Sync Settings
1. Open the Accounts & Sync Settings screen. You can do this in the Settings
application.
The screen displays your current sync settings and a list of your current accounts.
2. Check or uncheck Background data 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 uncheck this option, Gmail stops receiving new mail, Calendar stops syncing
events, and so on, until you touch the Refresh menu item or send an email.
