Find out if your Android’s mic or camera is on with D-Vasive

There isn’t an indicator on your smartphone that lets you find out if your camera or mic is on. Now, if this is an issue for you, D-Vasive is designed to allay your fears. The app notifies you if one of the sensors you are monitoring becomes active. It will let you look into the log files to see which app is doing so. The free version of the app will only notify you of the active sensors but if you are willing to shell out US$5, you can block access as well.

SEGA to pull ‘Jet Set Radio’ from Google Play Store

SEGA looks like they want to work out the kinks of its Jet Set Radio game as they plan to pull the game out of the Google Play Store soon. There have been issues with the game on iOS 8 and while there are no similar reports for Android, SEGA wants to make sure all users get the game experience they intended for it. They didn’t set a specific date yet when the game is going to come back for both platforms though. If you still want to check it out before it gets pulled from Android (temporarily), now is probably the best time to download it.
