NEXUS 7 GUIDEBOOK MANAGE ACCOUNTS 70

For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you

make to the information on your device are made to the copy of

that information on the web. Your Google Account works this way.

Other accounts support only one-way sync: the information on

your mobile device is read-only.

Some apps, such as Gmail and Calendar, have separate synchro-

nization settings that provide more ne-grained control. For ex-

ample, to control message syncing in the Gmail app, touch

Menu > Manage labels, touch a label, and then Sync messages.

Congure auto-sync for all apps

To control Anto-sync for all apps that use it, open Settings > Data

usage >

Menu and check or uncheck Auto-sync data.

If you turn off Auto-sync, you need to sync manually to collect

messages, email, and other recent information, and won’t receive

notications when updates occur. For example, changes that you

make in your People app are automatically made to your Google

contacts on the web.

If this option is not checked, you may be able to use an app’s tools

to sync data manually. You can also sync manually to collect

messages, email, and other recent information. Leaving Auto-

sync off can help extend your battery life, but will prevent you

from receiving notications when updates occur.

Congure Google Account sync settings

To adjust a single Google Account’s sync settings:

1. Go to Settings > Personal > Accounts > Google.

indicates that some or all of an account’s information is
