Backup SMS & your Calls Log to Google Calendar on Android

Android PINK LogoWith flurry of firmware updates for your Android based phones and with so many un organized backups, the time has now arrived wherein you will not even lose all your precious sms as well as even the call log in your Android after flashing the firmware or just like that if your phone gets lost or encounters with data corruption. With an application called the SMS Back up and restore as well as the call track application you will neither lose the sms nor the call logs which will be pushed to the Google Calendar and which the same can be retrieved easily at any point of time whenever required. So, let’s check out both the applications which will help you to back up and restore all your smses as well as the call log.

Call Track:

With the application called the Call track you can push all the call logs ranging from the incoming as well as the outgoing call along with even the missed call entries to your Google Calendar directly without any sort of manual intervention and all you need to do is to first pair this app with your Google Calendar and the rest will be taken care by this application.

You can set when you want to maintain the call log and when not to as with the help of the toggle ON / OFF option. I would suggest you to set a different calendar for all your call log or it will mess up your Calendar completely if you are the heavy user of Google’s calendar. You can create the new calendar by Google Calendar > Calendar Settings > Calendars > Create new Calendar after which a new category will be setted up automatically and all the call logs will be getting stored in this category itself and will sync all the details on its own automatically.
