Android Useful Apps

Anybody used 360 Security?

Colleague is using it and looks nice. Scans the phone to free up memory from temps files, and the usual virus scanning.

You don't need crapware like this on your phone. It's a waste of resources and only drains your battery.
What Virus is your phone going to get? Nothing. Exactly. Your memory card may pick up something if you stick your phone into unknown systems, but that's about as far as it goes.

Phones do not get viruses/malware. Your Temp files is managed by Android too, so leave it alone. You don't need to delete it every day, because you think it makes it faster. The inverse happens, you are deleting much needed cached content and slowing down your experience on your device, again, wasting processing power and draining your battery.
 
OK cool. I used to have Avast on but since I put CM on I haven't put it back
Used it mostly for call blocking which is now part of android.
 
I see the HERE app from Nokia has launched a beta in the Samsung Galaxy App store.

Downloaded it, and it's kinda pretty. Will give a go tomorrow morning on my way to work :)

The apk was also on android police a couple of days ago. Downloaded - but haven't installed it yet. Works great on the Lumia + its able to do full offline nav unlike gmaps.
