New calendar events will now have a Hangouts video call link added automatically to save time and reduce last minute confusion and delays when event creators forget to add a Hangouts link. Additionally, you can add names to your Hangouts video links to make it easier for everyone to join the video call.

Please note the following: 

  • Hangout video calls are only added if the event creator has an active Google+ profile.
  • Admins can disable this feature through the calendar settings page in the Admin console. Users will still be able to add or remove Hangouts video call links from events, but will not be able to set their own defaults.
  • The Admin console setting is launched to both Rapid and Scheduled release domains but it only affects users in Rapid release domains. Scheduled release domain admins have at least two weeks to test this feature before it launches to their end users.
Google Apps admins now have the ability to set the default state for profile discoverability in their domain through a control in the admin console. The setting is available for customers who have enabled Premium Features. It is checked by default (i.e., profiles are discoverable in public web searches).

At launch:

  • All users with discoverability on will get the admin default
  • All users with discoverability off will be unaffected by the default (since they explicitly set it off)

Example 1: User has set profile to be discoverable prior to launch, admin changes default setting to not be discoverable, user’s setting changes to not be discoverable
Example 2: User has set profile to not be discoverable prior to launch, admin changes default setting to not be discoverable, user’s setting does not change

Going forward:

  • Changing the admin default will change the users setting if the user has not yet set discoverability
  • Once a user manually sets their profile discoverability setting (off or on), that setting persists even if the admin default is modified

Example: User has set profile to be discoverable after launch, admin changes default setting to not be discoverable, user’s setting does not change

Note: In domains where an admin sets profile discoverability to be off by default (i.e., unchecks the setting), users may still want to be able to discover their co-workers in the same domain. To enable this functionality, we extended Google+ to leverage contact sharing. If the admin has enabled contact sharing for services such as Gmail then co-workers will be suggested in autocomplete results irrespective of their discoverability setting.

Samsung galaxy S4 Problems:-

1)In call volume level on my side is not loud enough!
I am not at all someone that needs really volume, but on my iPhone 4s I used to be able to hold the phone about 3-4 inches away from my ear and EASILY hear the person I am talking to. EVERY TIME. Having this ability is important for me. I took the volume all the way up on the Samsung, but I cant clearly hear the other side unless the phone is about 1 inch away or pressed against my ear.
I see there is a button during a call that give you the option to select something called "clear sound" or something like that. I tried it but it doesn't boost the volume further at all!
In a crowded New York City street, with a myriad sounds around me, I am sometimes having trouble hearing even with the phone pressed against my ear. Never had an issue like this with the iPhone.

2)No visual voice mail!
I used to be able to see who the voice-mail is from before hearing it, and directly play it or delete it without actually "calling" the voice mail. I never had to enter my password either. I cannot stress enough how important this is for me and how annoying it is to actually call the voice mail and have to press "7" to delete, etc, etc. Is there a free app on the Samsung to do what I want?

3)Very poor camera colors and low light shot quality! (this point is more of a rant, than me asking for help)

Yes, I do have much more megapixels now, and the actual quality during daylight shooting is very apparent. But the colors are usually quite inaccurate, and there's a very relevant dim tone to just about every picture compared to the iPhone. For example, the wall in my room is a bright peach color. Almost borderline a pale "ruby red" grapefruit. The iPhone shows this every time. On the Samsung its always a dim hint of a very pale plain pink. Using "auto-correct" on the computer, Samsung's shots often look much more "real life" but that's not something I want to do every time.

4)No nice, colorful, diverse emoji during texting.

Did I forget to enable something? Because I certainly don't see any setting for this. If I choose Swype keyboard, I get ugly black and white emoji. If I pick Samsungs keyboard, I get plain android green emoji which all look almost identical.

5)Cant find a way to easily and quickly close background running apps.

So far, I see I can do it by going to settings, other, and disabling them one by one from there. Seems like a very lengthy and difficult process. Any way to do this easier WITHOUT downloading any apps such as task killer?


Thanks very much in advance. I am sorry if I sounded like an Apple fanboy with some of my points. I really want to switch to Android and love the Galaxy S4, but so far it looks to me like the galaxy is a much better personal assistant. A much better computer and a toy. But the iPhone is a much better phone and a P&S camera.
Shouldn't be very hard to guess what is more important for me.

Again, I am looking for excuses not to exchange this for an iPhone 5 during my 30 day grace period, but so far aside from the big beautiful screen, myriad options(many of which are not absolutely essential), replaceable battery, extra sensors(which one can easily live without) and the awesome S-Heath app, I see none.
