For some accounts, synchronization is bi-directional; changes that you make to the information on your phone are made to the copy of that information on the web. Some accounts support only one-way synchronization; the information on your phone is read-only.

Configuring General Synchronization Settings

On the Accounts & sync settings screen, do the following:

• Select or clear Background data to control whether

applications and services can transmit data when you are not directly working with them (that is, when they are running in the background).

make to information on the phone or on the web are automatically synchronized with each other.
