Accounts and sync settings
Use the Accounts and Sync settings to add, remove, and manage your Google Accounts and other accounts. You also
use these settings to control how and whether applications send, receive, and sync data on their own schedules, and
whether applications can synchronize user data automatically.
Google Mail, Calendar, and other applications may also have their own settings to control how they synchronize data;
see the documentation for those applications for details.

Accounts and sync settings screen
Background data ● : Check to permit applications to synchronize data in the background, whether or not you are
actively working in them. Unchecking this setting can save battery power and lowers (but does not eliminate) data
use.
Auto-sync ● : Check to permit applications to synchronize data on their own schedule. If you uncheck this setting, you
must touch an account in the list on this screen and touch to synchronize data for that account. Synchronizing data
automatically is disabled if Background data is unchecked. In that case, Auto-sync is dimmed.
Manage accounts ● : The rest of this screen lists the Google Accounts and other accounts you’ve added to the tablet.
Adding accounts is described in “Accounts” on page 79.
If you touch an account in this screen, its account screen opens.

Account screen
This screen contains different options, depending on the kind of account.
For each Google Account, it lists the kinds of data you can synchronize to the tablet, with checkboxes so you can
turn synchronizing on and off for each kind of data. You can also touch the Synchronize button at the top-right of
the Application bar to synchronize data now. Touch Remove account to remove the account along with all its data
(contacts, mail, settings, and so on). See “Privacy settings” on page 101.
