10 best Android flashlight apps with no extra permissions

There has been quite the controversy over flashlight applications over the last year. Specifically, an inordinate amount of them collect data about you to sell to third parties and that is how they offer their app for free and without advertising. Unfortunately for them, not a lot of people can stomach giving away things like their location and their call logs just to use a flashlight app for free. In this roundup, we’ll take a look at the best Android flashlight apps and rest assured, the only permission all of these apps use is the one required to turn on your camera LED to use as a flashlight. It is important to note that all Android apps inherently have internet access and thus no longer ask for that. Some of these flashlight apps use that permission to serve advertising but lack the permissions necessary to track things like your call logs, text messages, or location.

Looking to fix your AT&T-branded Nexus 6? Here’s how to fix the top 6 problems

Launching a Nexus with full carrier support never seems to work out well, especially if you want it free of all carrier bloat and add-ons. All of the carriers have done pretty well in keeping things simple with the  Nexus 6  thus far, but  AT&T  decided to take a different direction with their variant. Some folks over at XDA have compiled a list of the 6 most frustrating “enhancements” the carrier has made with the phone, and explained how to each fix of these problems in detail. So what did they do to the poor Nexus? Let’s take a look at the problems and how to fix them. AT&T trampstamp: Take a look at the back cover. See the AT&T globe? It’s ugly. Thankfully, there’s actually a way to remove it if you’re up for doing so, using nail polish remover, a Q-Tip, and a coin. SIM locking to AT&T: AT&T’s variant comes SIM locked, meaning you can’t buy this version and switch to another carrier. There’s a way around it, but you may have to fork out som...

SwiftKey puts its themes packs on sale (50% off) for Black Friday

Popular keyboard replacement app SwiftKey is gearing up for the shopping season with a sweet deal on its themes packs. The 5-theme packs are now available for $1.49 (down from $2.99), while the 10-theme Premier pack is available for $2.49. All of these packs are available in SwiftKey’s online store: Premier pack  (10 themes) Pink pack Minimal pack Hot punch Cool punch Accent pack Material Design pack Individual themes remain at their normal $0.99 price tag, but for just fifty cent extra there’s little reason not to opt for a pack of five. I personally prefer the  recently launched Material pack , including light, dark, and three other Duarte-inspired themes, but some of the other options are just as nice. The deal is open to users from around the world, for “a limited time,” though it looks likely that it will go on at least until next Monday. To buy themes or theme packs, visit the SwiftKey store from the SwiftKey app’s settings menu.
