    Those flashlight apps are a bit pointless now though IMO, since Lollipop has a built in quick tile on the drop down notification shade for turning on LED. Then again, I dont know what % of users are on lollipop yet.

    I'm on Lollipop and she ain't got no "built in quick tile on the drop down notification shade for turning on LED" on her.

    Depending on phone, Lollipop versions you will have will vary like the wind.

    Some toggles will disappear from the panel if there not used regularly!

    To get the Flash Light/Torch toggle back open your camera app and it will reappear in the drop-down!

    Never had any of mine go, on AOSP so it must be a third party ROM thing

    I just tested on my Nexus 9, may be try playing with the flash settings from within your camera app. Turning the flash from automatic to off for example!

    You should be able to edit the drop down notifications and add it. I just did. I'd wondered where the flashlight was gone!

    OsmAnd+ Maps & Navigation OsmAnd

    Paid/Support (€6.49): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.osmand.plus&hl=en

    Free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.osmand&hl=en



    ---

    Having a proper, full, offline country map is a Godsend. I'm partial to the vector style of map display that OsmAnd offer, very reminiscent of road maps supplied by Ordnance Survey Ireland. (osi.ie)

    Vector mapping that to me, beats the likes of Google and Bing, from the point of view of aesthetics.

    I haven't tried the free version, but the paid app allows the download of any country that you care to view, Ireland is a vector map download of about 150MB, give or take.

    A crowd sourced manner of mapping, evolves thanks to, possibly, *your* input.

    There are issues with the UI, having to enter a full address to 'go to', can be tiresome, if you're looking for wildcard searches, Google/Bing will provide a more instant experience, but for offline use, it works great.

    I am full of self loathing for the fact that I got totally addicted to Bubble Witch Saga :-(

    The secret is to have a stern talking to yourself about never being that person who either pays for in-game content or logs into any game with facebook account.

    Better half has random ads / apps on Google Play pushed up while using her phone... she tried using AirPush Detector (which I saw recommended elsewhere) but it crashed, and told her something about her phone didn't need it! :confused:

    She also tried MalwareBytes and AVG.. no luck.

    There also seems to be one or two apps installed which she can't uninstall... so I suspect they're the problem.

    Anyone have any idea of a suitable app?

    I'm ok with paying for ingame content provided it adds content and isn't just 'pay to skip this artificial waiting period!' type microtransactions. TBH though, I'd usually just buy games that cost a nominal fee to make sure I'm not supporting the freemium model where possible.

    King games are OK. I usually get to level 60 or 70 in most before they get too hard to continue (without paying for powerups).

    Then I delete them.
