Data Syncing Settings

When you add an account—whether it's Twitter, Facebook, Exchange, or Gmail—you'll have a few choices to make about what data syncs with your tablet and how often. Follow these steps to get to Accounts & Sync; this feature enables you to adjust your syncing options:

  1. Tap the Notification bar on the bottom right of the Home screen.
  2. Tap the Settings button, which will bring up the quick settings.
  3. Tap the Settings button again to bring up the full settings menu.
  4. Tap Accounts & Sync.

The first two choices are under General sync settings, and they're both enabled by default: Background data and Auto-sync.
