4.1 Data synchronization
Some applications on your phone (Contacts and so on) give you access to the same personal
information that you can add, view, and edit on your computer using 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.
Sync by application
To control synchronization Contacts, you can do the following:
1. On the Home screen, then touch
and select Settings.
2. Select Accounts. When any of the applications are synchronizing, you will see the “sync”
icon
. You will also see the last time your data was synchronized.
3. By default, the personal information in Contacts will sync whenever you make a change or
receive a new message. You can change this behavior:
Auto-sync: When selected, Auto-sync will sync Contacts automatically, as you make changes or
receive new messages. When OFF, information will not be synced automatically, although you
can force sync by using the individual application check boxes described below.
4. Sync problems:
If you see this icon
to the left of the sync check box, then there was a temporary problem
with the data synchronization. Check your data connection and try again later.
4.2 Bluetooth
You can use Bluetooth to send and receive calls using a headset or hands-free car kit.
