Accounts10.11
Use the Accounts settings to add, remove, and manage your Google and other
supported accounts. You also use these settings to control how and whether
all applications send, receive, and synchronise data on their own schedules,
and whether all applications can synchronise user data automatically.
Gmail, Google Calendar, and other applications may also have their own
settings to control how they synchronise data; see the sections on those
applications for details.
General sync settings10.11.1
Background data
Mark the check box to permit applications to synchronise 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 synchronise data on their own
schedule. If you unmark this setting, you must touch an account in the list on
this screen, press the Menu key, and touch Sync now to synchronise data for
that account.
Synchronizing data automatically is disabled if Background data is unchecked.
In that case, the Auto-sync checkbox is dimmed.
Manage accounts10.11.2
The rest of this screen lists the Google Accounts and other accounts you’ve
added to the phone. 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 synchronise to the phone,
with checkboxes so you can turn synchronizing on and off for each kind. You
can also press the Menu key and touch Sync now to synchronise data. Touch
Remove Account to remove the account along with all its data (contacts,
mail, settings, and so on).
