How to Switch Google+ Stream from Multi-Column View to Single Column (via: TechnoDuet)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/08

Subtle, as the “More” button got removed, but the Accessibility setting is still there:

If you also want to see the posts in ‘What’s Hot’ and Communities in single-column, then go to Account Settings -> Google + and select the Accessibility checkbox as shown below:

Enjoy the uncluttered and headache-free single-column layout of Google+ posts!

Now I can enjoy all G+ streams to be in one column format so it is easier to track the order of posts.

Remove email address from suggestions in To field on Gmail (via: Web Applications Stack Exchange)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/08

Every once in a while, you have a wrong address in your GMail auto complete list (for instance when someone moved to another provider or you mistyped it).

This is how to delete it:

  1. Delete his email address from Other Contacts under Gmail Contacts.
  2. Reload Gmail and search your contacts for the email address to make sure you really got rid of it.

Google Now Launcher for KitKat (Android 4.4) via: Android – Google+

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/28

I just installed the Google Now Launcher on my Nexus 4 that runs KitKat (Android 4.4) from the AppStore.

Looks nice, though I could not get “Call Brother” configured (it thinks there are 3 entries for him, and selecting any of them does not make a selection).

But being able to start voice stuff with one click less is convenient.

Now hopefully the battery duration won’t be affected by another piece of software.
