Settings
Controls Use the Force stop
icon to stop an application that is
malfunctioning. The application
is stopped without confirmation.
Permissions Lists the kinds of
information about your phone
and data the application has
access to.
Development screen
The Development screen
contains settings that are
useful for developing Android
applications. For full information,
including documentation of the
Android APIs and development
tools, see the Android developer
web site (http://developer.
android.com).
USB debugging Permits
debugging tools on a computer
to communicate with your phone
via a USB connection.
Stay awake Allows you to set
the phone to prevent the screen
from dimming and locking when
it is connected to a charger or
to a USB device that provides
214
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 Permits 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 & sync
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 sync data on
their own schedules and whether
all applications can synchronize
user data automatically.
Gmail, Calendar, and other
applications may also have their
own settings to control how
they synchronize data; see the
sections on those applications
