There other morning all the permissions were reset on my phone. I have a Verizon 10. All of the disabled programs like dt ignite, that Verizon spam downloader, were reenabled. This was not an os update. Anyone else have this problem

Are you certain that you or anyone else didn't go to Settings>Apps, tap Menu, then Reset All App Preferences? That's basically what that setting does.

I wish I did, that would explain it. At around 0200 hours, I heard a beep. When I got up at 0330 and started using my phone, things seemed odd. Everything was asking for permissions. When I went into update apps, I noticed all the disabled apps had updates. DT ignite was no longer disabled and a bunch of games wanted to update

An app (and a game is an app) that has to have permissions granted before use, when updated, may not have permissions set any longer. Blame the developer.
