Mark, not sure what you mean. If the user runs the app, it's a FlashLight app where the user can turn on the led to find his way around in the dark. If the app is kicked off by a sms message it does a completely different thing. I have installed the app, never ran the flashlight, sent a sms message and it works. My android phone number is 5209791360. Send it a sms message containg &&& only. You should get back the location.
