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 check box to permit debugging tools on a
computer to communicate with your cellphone via a USB connection.
•Stay awake: mark the check box to prevent the screen from dimming
and locking when the cellphone is connected to a charger or to a USB
device that provides power. Don’t use this setting with a static image on
the cellphone for long periods of time, or the screen may be marked
with that image.
•Allow mock locations: mark the check box to permit a development
tool on a computer to control where the cellphone believes it is located,
rather than using the cellphone’s own internal tools for this purpose.
11.7 Accounts & sync
Use the Accounts & Sync settings to add, remove, and manage your Google
and other supported accounts. You can 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.
11.7.1 General sync settings
Background data
Mark the check box to permit applications to synchronize data in the
background, whether or not you are actively working in them. Unmarking
this setting can save battery power and lowers (but does not eliminate)
data use.
Auto-sync
Mark the check box to permit applications to synchronize data on their
own schedule. If you unmark this setting, you must touch an account in the
list on this screen, press Menu key, 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.
11.7.2 Manage accounts
The rest of this screen lists the Google Accounts and other accounts
you’ve added to the cellphone. If you touch an account in this screen, its
account screen opens.
This screen contains different options, depending on the kind of account.
For Google Accounts, it lists the kinds of data you can synchronize to
the cellphone with checkboxes so you can turn synchronizing on and
off for each kind. You can also press Menu key and touch Sync now to
synchronize data. Touch Remove Account to remove the account along
with all its data (contacts, mails, settings, and so on).
11.8 Privacy
You use the Privacy settings to manage your personal information.
