For some accounts, synchronization is two-directional. Data changes on your phone
are synchronized to the account servers, and vice versa. Some accounts only support
one-way synchronization. Data synchronized to your phone is read-only.
11.2.1 Configuring General Synchronization Settings
On the
Accounts & sync settings
screen:
• Select or clear the
Background data
check box to allow or forbid applications and
services on your phone to send and receive data when they are running in the
background.
If you clear the
Background data
check box,
Gmail
does not receive new emails
and
Calendar
does not synchronize events.
• Select or clear the
Auto-sync
check box to allow or forbid automatic data
synchronization between your phone and the account servers.
For example, if you select the
Auto-sync
check box, changes you make in
Contacts
on your phone are automatically synchronized to the account servers.
