[Q] Calendar in B&W Only?

I keep two calendars on my phone. One is my personal appointments, and the other are my work appointments.
On my older Droid 4, in both the Calendar widget and in the Calendar app, the calendars are ID'ed by color. For my personal calendar it is a yellow-ish block or line, and for my work calendar it is a blue-ish block or line. That makes it pretty easy to see which is which.
However, on my new Mini, both are simply black. In the Calendar widget, they have a simple black square block preceding each entry. In the Calendar app, in month display mode, they are denoted by a black line.
Is there a way to enable color? Or this is B&W simply an "improvement" made by MOT/Google with JB?
BTW, when in the Mini's Calendar app, I go into settings... Calendars to display... there are the color blocks shown. As I wrote above, those colors get all displayed as black in the app and widget.

Here is what my older Droids would show (notice the lines in color):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is what my new Mini shows (notice the lines in black):

Mine definitely shows colors. Maybe try clearing the calendar cache and or app data to see if that fixes it.

Interesting thought. Thanks for the confirmation that it is suppose to still be in color.
Possibly when I transferred my calendar data from my old phone, to my new phone, something got screwed up.

Integrating Google Contact + Google+ within Hangouts

So im wondering if anyone knows how to properly setup the integration of a Google contact + Google+ within hangouts. For example, if you have a google contact with a phone number called Brooke in your phone. You then are friends with her on Google+. What is the proper way to get everything merged into one contact so it works properly with Hangouts and SMS integration within hangouts?
So far ive done the following.
Brooke is saved as a Google contact with a phone number. Ive also added her on Google+, she has the same name as the contact. Thinking hangouts\android would automatically do the rest to combine both contacts into one was too much to ask. So i then added Brookes google+ @gmail address to the Brooke google contact, doing this seemed to let android know that they are one of the same people made hangouts then show the option to send a message via SMS for Brooke or via Hangouts in the drop down list.
However, i don't understand why it seems to separate the hangouts and sms threads showing multiple names of Brooke in the conversation list. See screen shot below. It doesnt seem to do this for everyone. So i dont know if its a bug, or depends on how you go about trying to integrate a Google contact with a Google+ account. Any insight would be great.
Is there a correct way to get a google contact with a number and a google+ contact merged together without it seeming to be a total mess?

IMAP Sent & Draft Folders not sync with Stock Email App Version 4.4.2-14

Hi all,
I've got a problem/question that I desperately need help with. I am struggling to see why it has been designed this way but now that it was I need a way of solving the problem.
I am currently using the stock email application. I have synced a couple of my email address (Own my company domain email via IMAP.GMAIL.COM & SMTP.GMAIL.COM). The email account I’d like help with is my IMAP account.
The setup of the account has been thoroughly done. I can see all my folders, select these to sync and Inbox Gets done well. The problem I have is with SENT emails & Draft Folder.
Firstly, the phone email app doesn't sync sent items of the web and it shows a different folder called [Gmail] where i can find my Gmail Server folders and i have to browse through the Gmail - Show more folders - Sent Mail/ Drafts to access my Sent mails from PC.
Secondly: Mail sent through my Phone stores mails in under label:[imap]-sent rather then sent mail folder which is again making me feel irritated to browse two different folders to look my sent mails.
If I have setup the phone to use IMAP surly it should have sync all my emails to be synced and should therefore automatically store these in the IMAP inbox.sent folder.
I want to know if the stock mail app can be adjusted to fix this issue.
Many thanks!

Help: Multiple SMS in same Thread

Hi,
I have this issue with Huawei 6 Plus default messaging app.
Some SMS i receive from different numbers appear in the same thread. For example i have some SMS from different Banks, they appear in one thread. Similarly i have SMS from different carriers, appear in one thread. This happens to only non-numbered SMS senders, like banks etc. Regular Contacts are fine. I Tried 3rd party apps, but still i get multiple sms in same threads

I am also facing same issue. Did you find any solution to it?

In your default messaging app, go to settings, then in general tab(the first tab), uncheck/turnoff the first option (Archive info messages).
Hope it helps. Good luck.

Ever find something you really want to read or review later, and then forget about it?
Whether it is an article, image, video, or anything else, easily send it to yourself with a single click and find it waiting for you later!
How it works?​For sharing items like websites and files, InboxIt appears in your share menu. Click to share via InboxIt, and your item will instantly and privately be waiting for you in your email inbox. That's as easy as it gets!
For creating reminders, you can use the drawer tile, set a shortcut on the launcher screen or use the app. The reminder can be sent right away or scheduled for a later time.
What makes InboxIt unique?​There is no need to type your email address, subject title, or email body manually. InboxIt
does it all with a 'single click'.
In addition, InboxIt grabs the website's image and description for nicer and more readable emails.
In other words, InboxIt is better than sharing to your email app!
If you are using multiple email accounts, that's not a problem, simply use "Labels" and create gmail rules to route these items directly to the right inbox. Everything with 1-click!
What's new?​On the latest update, an option to quickly title the saved item as added, this provides a context to the inboxed item and helps organize the pending emails.
So far InboxIt used the shared text or the webpage title as the email title, but now you can control it to make sure you'll remember why it was there in the first place.
Reminders can be created via a shortcut, a drawer tile, and via the app itself.
