Configuring Account Sync and Display Options
You can configure background data and synchronization options for
the applications on your phone. You can also configure
synchronization options for each account. Some applications, such
as Gmail
TM
and 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 phone, 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 phone are synchronized with the
accounts on the web or PC. 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.
