Configuring Account Sync and Display Options
You can configure background data and synchronization options for the applications on your device. You can also
configure synchronization options for each individual account. Some applications, such as GmailTMand Calendar, have
their own synchronization settings. Some applications, such as Contacts and Gmail, can sync data for multiple accounts.
Others, such as Calendar, sync data only from the first Google Account you set up with your device, 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 device are
synchronized with the accounts on the Web or computer. Your Google Account synchronizes in a two-
directional manner. Other accounts support only one-way sync; the information changed on your phone is
only changed on your phone.
