Manage applications

Touch to manage and remove installed applications.

Running services

Touch to open a list of services—applications or parts of applications that provide services to other applications, or that run even when their main application isn’t running. Examples include the Android onscreen keyboard and the small portion of Google Talk that always listens for incoming messages. Above each service, one or more gray bars show what processes the running service needs and how much memory they're using (how much memory you would recover if you stopped the service). Depending on the service, when you touch it in the list it either opens a dialog in which you can stop it or opens its Settings screen.

Storage use

Touch to view available memory and the memory used by applications on your phone.

Battery use

Touch to view the amount of power consumed by your phone. It also shows which applications consume the most battery power. For more information, refer to section 11.15 About phone.

Development

The Development screen contains settings that are useful for developing Android applications. For full information, including documentation of the Android applications and development tools, see the Android developer web site (http://developer.android.com).

USB debugging: mark the checkbox to permit debugging tools on a computer to communicate with your phone via a USB connection.

Stay awake: mark the checkbox to prevent the screen from dimming and locking when the phone 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: mark the checkbox 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.

11.7Accounts & sync

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 synchronize data on their own schedules, and whether all applications can synchronize user data automatically.

Gmail, Google Calendar, and other applications may also have their own settings to control how they synchronize data; see the sections on those applications for details.
