2Check or uncheck Background data to control whether applications and services can transmit data when you are not working with them directly (that is, when they are running in the background).

If you uncheck this option, Gmail stops receiving new mail, Calendar stops syncing events, and so on, until you touch the Refresh menu item or send an email.

3Check or uncheck Auto-syncto control whether changes you make to information on the phone or on the web are automatically synced with each other.

For example, when this option is checked, changes that you make in Contacts on the phone are automatically made in Google Contacts on the web.

If you uncheck this option, you may be able to use an application’s tools to sync data manually. See “Sync information manually” on page 132.
