Configuring account sync settings
You can configure background dat a use and synchronizatio n options for
all of the applications on you r phone. You can also configure wha t types
of data you synchronize for each ac count. Some applications, s uch as
Gmail and Calendar, have their own sy nchronization setting s.
NOTES
• Some applications, such a s Contacts, Gmail, and Cale ndar, can
sync data from multiple ap plications. Others syn c data only from
the first Google accou nt you sign into on your phone, or from a n
account associated specifically with that applicatio n.
• For some accounts, syncing is t wo-directional; cha nges that you
make to the information on your ph one are made to the copy of
that information on the web. Your Google ac count works this way.
Other accounts suppor t only one-way sync; the infor mation on your
phone is read-only.
