How to Turn Off New Look in Google Calendar

Posted: 30 Jun 2011 05:53 PM PDT


Google Calendar has just rolled out the new interface and have given a facelift to their classic old look. Just like all the other Google apps and services getting an interface update, Calendar is no different. The concept behind the new look is the same: focus, elasticity, effortlessness.

The changes don’t stop here. According to Google, this is just the first in the series of changes they will be making in their products.

How to Turn Off New Look in Google Calendar

If you’re having problems with the new look in Google Calendar, and would like to go back to the old classic look, read the simple steps below.

In Google Calendar, click on the gear icon (top right corner) and choose “Use the classic look”. This will change your interface back to the old classic look of Google Calendar. Do the same if you want to turn on the new look again.

Here is a quick summary by Google of what has been changed in the new Google Calendar look.

  • The Quick add function is now under the down arrow next to the Createbutton
  • Calendars selected for viewing in your My calendars and Other calendars lists will no longer display with a colored background; instead, only the arrows next to them will be colored.
  • The Print and Refresh buttons are now icons rather than text links. The Print button shows a printer, and the Refresh icon is a circular arrow.
  • Visual indicator icons (alarm clock icon for events with reminders, person icon for events with guests, etc.) will only show when the event is hovered over.
  • The My calendars and Other calendars lists on the left are now collapsed by default and may be expanded using the small gray arrow. Once expanded, they will remain expanded on refresh or open.
  • The mini month view calendar under the Create button is collapsible using the small gray arrow.
  • The Save and Discard buttons and Back to calendar link are only available at the top of the event page, not the bottom.

Skype for Android Gets Video Calling with Major UI Update

Posted: 30 Jun 2011 12:19 PM PDT


Skype for Android got an update today – a much-needed major update to the Android app. Skype Android app now brings you video-calling across (some) Android devices and a UI overhaul to the app. Skype video-calling was one of the most requested features on the app, and looks like we finally got it today.

Video-calling on Skype for Android is cross-platform. Android to iPhone to PCs to PSPs – everywhere! The new UI is not something to be happy about as it because it is very bloated and slow. You can hardly use it. It’s really nice, but only if the Skype Android team would make it even more better in speed.

You can download the Skype for Android update from Android Market.

How to Backup Call Logs on Android Phone

Posted: 30 Jun 2011 11:50 AM PDT


Google allow Android users to backup their apps, settings, passwords om their Google account and it restores everything back to how it was when you do a full reset of your phone. However, it never backups up your call logs. To most of you, this may not seems of any importance, but for some, it does.

Android keeps a record of your last 500 calls. There is an app available on the Android Market to help backup and restore your call logs on another phone or after a full reset.

Call Logs Backup & Restore is a free app that lets you do exactly what it says to. It creates a backup of your call logs and you can easily restore them back later on the same phone or a new phone.

I tried this between my Google Nexus S and a Samsung Galaxy S II – it worked perfect! Simply, download the application and install it. Then in the app, hit tap the ‘Backup’ button to start the backup process. This process could never be this easy!
