Accounts & sync settings

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 applications send, receive, and sync data on their own schedules, and whether applications can synchronize user data automatically.

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

Accounts & sync settings screen

Background data

Check to permit applications to synchronize data in the background, whether or not you are actively working in them. Unchecking this setting can save battery power and lowers (but does not eliminate) data use.

Auto-sync

Check to permit applications to synchronize data on their own schedule. If you uncheck this setting, you must touch an account in the list on this screen, press Menu, and touch Sync now to synchronize data for that account. Synchronizing data automatically is disabled if Background data is unchecked. In that case, the Auto- sync checkbox is dimmed.

Manage accounts

The rest of this screen lists the Google Accounts and other accounts you’ve added to the phone. Adding accounts is described in “Adding and removing accounts” on page 113.

If you touch an account in this screen, its account screen opens.
