Manage applications
Touch to manage and remove installed applications.
Running services
Touch to open a list of services—applications or parts of applications that provide
services to other applications, or that run even when their main application isn’t
running. Examples include the Android onscreen keyboard and the small portion
of Google Talk that always listens for incoming messages. Above each service, one
or more gray bars show what processes the running service needs and how much
memory they're using (how much memory you would recover if you stopped the
service). Depending on the service, when you touch it in the list it either opens a
dialog in which you can stop it or opens its Settings screen.
Development
The Development screen contains settings that are useful for developing Android
applications. For full information, including documentation of the Android
applications and development tools, see the Android developer web site (http://
developer.android.com).
USB debugging:
▪ mark the check box to permit debugging tools on a computer to
communicate with your phone via a USB connection.
Stay awake:
▪ mark the check box to prevent the screen from dimming and locking
when the phone is connected to a charger or to a USB device that provides power.
Don’t use this setting with a static image on the phone for long periods of time, or
the screen may be marked with that image.
Allow mock locations:
▪ mark the check box to permit a development tool on a
computer to control where the phone believes it is located, rather than using the
phone’s own internal tools for this purpose.
Accounts & sync11.7
Use the Accounts & Sync settings to add, remove, and manage your Google and
other supported accounts. You also use these settings to control how and whether
all applications send, receive, and synchronize data on their own schedules, and
whether all applications can synchronize user data automatically.
Gmail, Google Calendar, and other applications may also have their own settings
to control how they synchronize data; see the sections on those applications for
details.
General sync settings11.7.1
Background data
Mark the check box to permit applications to synchronize data in the background,
whether or not you are actively working in them. Unmarking this setting can save
battery power and lowers (but does not eliminate) data use.
Auto-sync
Mark the check box to permit applications to synchronize data on their own schedule.
If you unmark this setting, you must touch an account in the list on this screen, press
Menu key, and touch Sync now to synchronize data for that account.
Synchronizing data automatically is disabled if Background data is unchecked. In
that case, the Auto-sync checkbox is dimmed.
