Configuring account sync and display options

You can configure background data use and synchronization options for all of the applications on your phone. You can also configure 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 first Google Account you sign into on your phone, or from an account associated specifically with that application.

For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you make to the information on your phone 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 phone is read-only.

To configure general sync settings

1Open the Accounts & Sync Settings screen.

You can do this in Contacts by pressing Menu and touching Accounts, or directly from Settings.

The screen displays your current sync settings and a list of your current accounts.

Touch the account to configure.

Some or all information from this account is configured to sync automatically with your phone.

No information from this account syncs automatically with your phone.
