What does it do, and can I disable it?

DT Ignite allows carriers to install post-sale bloatware without your permission. As for disabling it, use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simonsickle.carrieradwarepreventer&hl=en

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to disable it ASAP

You don't need a third party app to disable it. Just turn it off (and force stop it) via Settings, Applications, Application Manager, scroll to the right to "All", scroll down to "DT Ignite", choose "Turn off", click "Ok" to confirm.

For more info on DT Ignite, see this thread in the Note 4 forum: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/467487-t-mobile-update-contains-malware.html

Does this have anything to do with the Android update process? (will it prevent my phone from receiving OTA updates)

I read somewhere that is helps carriers update their phones.

No, DT Ignite doesn't have anything to do with OTA updates. It's used to either help pre-install bloatware apps or stage them for download/installation once you have the phone and connect it to the Internet.

Thanks for the clarification.

I just saw this for the first time in my Note 4 usage. Searched Google and found out what it does and disabled it.

I did not have it install and if the garb that it tends to install but I always keep my WiFi off anyways so maybe that's why. It's no where to be found on my Note Edge.

Is this a Note 4 thing? Not finding it on my Note 3.

It appeared to start with only the LG G3 and Note 4 on both T-Mobile and Verizon. Haven't seen any other reports about it affecting any other phones yet. So hopefully it's been kaboshed!

It is on the s6

Sent from my Pearly White Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Now that I am playing around with my VZW LG G4 the DT ignite is on mine. Will be closing it immediately!

 

[gardengal4]

Ditto my lg g4

It's on my VZW Note 5 and my mom's US Cellular Note 5.

You can disable it. My view is that it is a virus installed by Verizon. There is also an app you can install to make sure it stays disabled.

I have the Galaxy S6 and I can be doing anything in my phone in contact list messages I can be online and out of nowhere the Google Play Store window will open even though I didn't open it. Does this have something to do with Dt Ignite? And do I just need to disable it or can I get rid of it?

 

[dpham00]

Probably not, but doesn't hurt to disable it to see if it fixes the problem

I disabled it on my S6 many months ago. Just went into (applications) settings, bam, done. No 3rd party app needed. No ill effects and it is still disabled.

It's great to leave enabled if you want Verizon to install apps and set permissions with out your appoval. I had two games installed and a remote app installed via DT Ignite. Disabled it the next day. I installed an app that makes sure it stays disabled.

 

[Tigonis Yesis]

I disabled and uninstalled it with no third party app., now it's dead and gone~! G'bye forever~! Thanks~!

It is "impossible" to actually "UNINSTALL" the application DT Ignite. So it is highly unlikely that you actually Uninstalled it. Proof would have to be shown for I think anyone to actually believe that.

just removed the app *kisses SSU thanks for ridding me of this nasty thing*
