Unauthorized Apps Downloaded to T-Mobile Samsung Note 4.

I have a T-Mobile Samsung Note 4 which updated on Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Just a few minutes ago, I turned my phone off, then turned it on again and noticed on the status/notification bar a triangle with exclamation mark... and when I pulled down screen it was for 2 apps warning that these apps have high permissions. I did not add these apps and when I looked at my apps I noticed the same 3 listed here were installed on my phone. Cookie Jam (high permissions), RetailMeNot (high permissions) and Drippler. I uninstalled from the Google Play Store. Before uninstalling, I planned to give a 1 star review for all 3 apps downloaded on my phone informing people of these apps, but there was no option for me to review these apps although these apps have reviews from other users. I didn't pay attention to the first two that I uninstalled but when I selected uninstall for the Drippler app, there was a warning "This app was not installed by Google Play Store. Do you want to Uninstall it". After this happened I did uncheck the "Unknown Sources" box under the security option for third party apps. I'm very disappointed that this has happened. I have had too much trouble with this phone and really feel that it was a waste of purchase. The first one I bought was broken and this is the second one exchanged in the store and it has many issues. I only downloaded 1 app (MOOC app) a few hours before this happened, but these didn't download until after I turned my phone off, then back on. The MOOC app listed links to several MOOCs online, and only had 4 reviews. If these same apps are being downloaded to other T-Mobile Note 4 users could this be from a link or a problem with the phone. What are the chances of several people accessing the same link? Does this mean the phone is hacked? If the "Unknown Sources" box is checked, will this stop the downloads without permission? Someone please help. This is an edited response to the above-written. After I wrote the response, I picked up my phone and noticed the Virus Scanner (CM Security) icon was in status bar. It showed there was 1 vulnerability called BroadAnywhere. I searched it on Google and found that it is a very bad virus... Once the virus was cleaned from my phone it seems to be working well. It hasn't been long but so far it seems ok and the apps haven't come back, nor the permissions (which did come back once after deleting apps) and well as a couple other things before the virus scan. Hopefully this will clear the problem. If not, I'll give update.

I noticed this happened to me as well,but it only happened after I updated my note to the new update. My wife's phone has not been updated and she doesn't have the app in her applications, so my assumption is it was packages in with the new update.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssassinsLament:
There is a preinstalled app labeled "DT Ignite" in the most recent stock rom.

The app is found in /system/priv-app. The file is Ignite_TMO.apk.

Package name is com.LogiaGroup.LogiaDeck.

Just disable it and you guys should be fine.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreise:
happening to me too

I can confirm that this has happened to me after the most recent update. Note 4 tmobile version. Disabling "DT Ignite" seems to have fixed it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cirrob:
First of all, thank you.* Despite your tone it was helpful and reassuring. I have never rooted before and am unfamiliar with the process. If you're willing, I have a few questions that perhaps you can point me in the right direction.

I would like to root and get rid of some applications in general so this isnt exactly off the table, but I would like to begin with a clean factory stock image.

If I do the first method, can I leave it rooted afterwards, or will the act of installing a clean factory stock image unroot the device again?

Also, can you provide a link to a site that offers detailed and trusted steps for either process? Searching google provides several dozen sites each with slightly different methods; what method did you use?

Regarding the tone and assumptions: You do make a lot of assumptions, and you do ooze an air of superiority in your response. I can respect that; this is, afterall your expertise. I just dont think its needed for people to respect your opinion. Assumptions, on the other hand, just lead to people being dismissive of your remarks all together. Its my job to look past assumptions, so they dont bother me much.

Regarding a lawsuite: I live in California and Mandelay Digital is based in California as well. In California you can (edited) sue someone for just about anything: bad thoughts, dressing poorly, beverage too hot etc (all real cases). If there is money to be had, a Lawyer will find a way. Mandelay is publically traded and the author of the software being used; there is incentive there. I will let the attourney make the decision.

Anyway, thank you for your initial response, and any further help you can provide.

Looks like I responded too early and should have read the new developments on the thread. It is possible my phone updated thanksgiving and I wasnt aware of it. I did change the battery mid afternoon for family pictures and such, and I noticed the apps (through app2sd notification about some of them being campatible with moving to the SD card) after it booted back up. I just did not see anything about a software update.

With that being said, I suppose it is fairly harmless, though I do not like the idea of such a direct and quite backdoor to installing apps on my phone. I agreed to the initial presinstalled apps, and I am sure somewhere in the initial agreements I may have agreed to unfettered access to my device's selection of apps, but I would still like a more obvious warning of this capability.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulOnFire:
I figured it was something that T-Mobile or Samsung had to have snuck in on one of their updates. Luckily I got my phone right before we went on a trip for Thanksgiving. So I haven't had much time to play with it or even Root it yet. I was able to go through all my Apps in the application manager and clear data/turn off all of the apps that I don't want or use, and I haven't had anything reinstall itself without my approval. I have also unticked the unknown sources option, so maybe that helped as well.

I would normally agree that it was some site that performed a drive - by installation, but I haven't used my phone for anything other than taking pictures, and asking Google for directions around Nashville since I got it on Wednesday.

I will definitely be rooting and probably flashing a new rom as soon as I get home though. Having Random apps installed without me knowing is no fun at all.

I've had the new update since the day it was released and never had this problem.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsohne:
Very disturbing. This is the rights for DT Ignite which is now built into the rom after taking the last update. Did a hard reset and now is part of the rom. Nothing loaded and just logged into the phone. The community should be very upset about T-Mobile sneaking this malware on our phones!

Let me be clear that this is after a hard reset without logging into google, Samsung or a Web page. This crapware is now part of the device if you took the last update.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devynbf:
Yes if you use the first method, it will unroot your device. (If it's rooted, that is. )

I am making a guide but got tied up yesterday, the guide will be up in about 2-3 hours. I will link it here when it's done.

I, too, had these apps mysteriously installed after the OTA update from T-Mobile. I'm not rooted so i went into the application manager and disabled DTIgnite. Hopefully that'll resolve it. Thanks for the info everyone.

We may be quite stuck with this crap for a while as all carriers are listed as customers. We'll see if Lollipop will change anything.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofshade:
I want to say these apps installed with the recent OTA update. I too had noticed them popping up in my app tray out of no where. I'm pretty careful on what I install on my phone. I can't really narrow down the time when they appeared tho so I'm not 100% sure. I'm just thankful I could uninstall them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HomieTheClown:

This is crazy. I haven't had these programs but I also deleted The DT program before it could install this stuff.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rican:
I was starting to loose my mind as of why my battery took a hit once updated through the latest ota. I first started by looking into data usage and found "DT ignite" to have used 65.05 MB in just one darn day. How much info do they really need from me?! After that i found the candy app and some other weird name app, was able to uninstall those but was only able to turn off "DT ignite".

Battery seems to be a bit better now, but not as good as pre ota. All of this in a stock unrooted phone. Feel so violated. :crying:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
I dislike online porn but somehow seem to consume it on a near daily basis.

Back on topic, I noticed DT ignite within gsam battery under applications. I have hopefully turned it off / disabled it before it started to download and change stuff on my phone. I haven't seen anything else downloaded prior to me disabling this app.

Anything else I should be checking for?

I love how people jump to assuming it's user error and that I somehow installed a virus on my phone, despite the fact that it persisted after a factory reset. Anyway, AndroidPolice article for anyone curious.

I liked the Note 4, but I returned it after this. I won't be buying carrier branded again until they realize that people don't want this BS.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Root the phone and take control over it. But whatever you want, just make sure it had root. I agree it's crap, but it's no reason to stop buying a phone, it's the carrier who installs this software not the OEM.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
That is true, but Samsung only makes their phones available through the carriers in the US. If they offered a "pure" edition like Motorola and Google I would buy it, even if "pure" just meant stock TouchWiz with no carrier interference.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nic0lette:
I'm curious if anyone would be able to share the APK for DTIgnite? I'd like to pull it apart to understand what it's doing better.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artimis:
Thought I would pop in to share that this isn't confined to just you guys.

I am actually an LG G3 user on Verizon which also comes with DT Ignite pre-installed. A few days ago, I rebooted my phone in order to install an Xposed module and noticed that the phone started auto-installing the Domino's pizza app, "Panda Pop", Cookie Jam, Drippler, and RetailMeNot. I was able to track down DT Ignite as the culprit when I saw how much data it downloaded via Better Battery Stats.

I've disabled DT Ignite in the hopes it doesn't happen again but since I'm rooted, I'm considering removing the app altogether.

Just thought I'd share....

[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Skip the reinsert battery part in your item #1:

1) Remove battery

2) Hold Volume plus and minus keys down

3) Insert USB cable while still continuing to hold down those two buttons.

WIthin 1-2 seconds you should have download mode. When download mode appears, then re-insert battery. For sure you're not going into charging mode with no battery to charge. This is the method I always use, and it always works (aside from hard-brick situations, but you can access battery charging mode/graphics, which surely means that ain't you).
[LG Optimus G Pro] robtoman:
not works.

I realy appreciate your help but i try it several time but still not enter download mode. Just always show the boot logo of LG then off then show again the boot logo. Why am i getting this? Can anyone has their own solutions?
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
What does your computer say when you plug it in? If in Windows check Device Manager and see what your phone is being recognized as. Can you access the phone's contents via USB cable from your computer? Does ADB recognize it at all? Or does it just loop like that, not starting?

Also, it sometimes takes several tries to get it into download mode, as if you're holding the buttons down and not timed just right, the phone ignore your attempt. Make sure you do not let go of both volume buttons even after you plug in the USB cable, you must continue to hold them down for a couple of seconds (until the DL mode appears). Don't even think about putting the battery back in until you see that download mode box. Try that a few times maybe? If it doesn';t work ,maybe you're boned. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] ecrum:
remove battery and place it again. then press both volume+ and Volume - . By keeping pressed both buttons insert your usb cable. don't release pressed buttons until its in download mood. by the way install unified adb driver for android by koush if your using windows 8.1 otherwise lg official driver is ok

Some dev's. have a beta program where you can choose to be a tester and download the beta version directly from PlayStore, but is there any way to see what apps you are testing/being a tester? Also, I've saw that If If I leave the Beta testing community, but don't click on leave test in the testing page, I'm still a beta tester, is this correct or I just need to wait and eventually it will drop me out of the test?﻿

[Microsoft Surface] hoddy4:
Any speculation of the future of 8.1 RT on the Surface 2? Will it be replaced by Windows 9 or 10 and eventually have some desktop applications?
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Pretty sure RT 10 will be released, though the line might end there.

Third-party / unsigned desktop apps... probably not officially. Microsoft seems Really Devoted to blowing away anything below their knees where this OS is concerned, and has been observed seeking bigger footguns for this purpose (see: all the anti-jailbreak stuff in 8.1). However, assuming they don't fix the various approaches that are being worked on and even tested now, it wouldn't surprise me to see a jailbreak for RT 10 released shortly after the release of the OS itself.
