Ive been enjoying iOS5 for some time now but Im still not completely clear on some of the aspects of iCloud. In Settings > iCloud you have the on/off sliders for mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. If these are switched to 'on' *when* does it sync to iCloud to make the nessessary updates? For example if I have Contacts set to on, I add a contact to my iPhone, does it update iCloud with that straight away?
The reason I ask is that in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > there is an on/off slider for 'iCloud backup'. At first I thought that if this was set to off it would never backup to iCloud full stop. However I suspect that this slider is only for having the phone do an automated backup when its locked and charging?
To turn off iCloud backup completely would I have to have 'iCloud Backup' switched off and also all the individual sliders for Mail, contacts, etc?
The reason I want to turn it off completely is because I also like to sync with iTunes and it causes duplicate contacts etc.
Thanks for any advice
