Data synchronization

Some Google applications on your phone (Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts) give you access to the

same personal information that you can add, view, and edit on your computer using Google Web

applications. This means that when you add, change, or delete your information in any of these

applications on the Web, the updated information also appears on your phone, and vice versa. Also,

if you lose your phone or if your phone is destroyed, your personal information is not lost and will

appear, as before, on a replacement phone.

This mirroring of information happens through over-the-air data synchronization, or data “syncing”.

Data syncing occurs in the background and shouldn’t ever get in your way. You’ll know your data is

being synchronized when you see this icon in the status bar: .

Because sending large amounts of data back and forth over the air can take time and require

considerable bandwidth, there are some settings on the phone that allow you to control data sync.

Date & time

• Set time, time zone, and date - Use

Automatic unless you need to

override the network values.

• Time format - Select from 12- or 24-hour formats.

• Date format - Select from a variety of formats.

Text • Turn Auto-replace feature on/off - This feature is not a spell-checker,

but automatically corrects commonly-mistyped words when selected.

• Turn Auto-cap on/off - When selected, automatically capitalizes the

first letter in a text field, or the first letter after a period (.), question

mark (?), or exclamation point (!).

• Turn Auto-punctuate on/off - When selected, automatically inserts a

period (.) when you type two spaces in succession.

About phone
