    How to set the USER DETAILS

    Good afternoon, I'm seeking help to set the USER DETAILS section inside the device details: Each user has its own Office 365 account inside the tablet, or at least the exchange one to download the E-Mails to his own Outlook app.  Would it be possible to use this as a source for the USER DETAILS and make them appear in that section? If yes, how? Thank you, best regards.

    Data upload to icloud

    We have some iPads using Mobicontrol. The profile in use restricts some features and browsing to certain sites, but the users will need to be able to upload data to iCloud from an app. This is not currently working - the data appears in the iCloud settings but does not make it to the cloud storage. Are there any settings I need to look out for? I am using a web content filter, could this be breaking the upload?

    Multiple entries for same IMEI & Serial Number Solved

    On MobiControl console, when I searched for a device using IMEI, I can see 2 devices. When I queried database, it also shows 2 records for same IMEI. Only difference is in DeviceId column value. I've that device & there is no MobiControl installed on it. It is factory reset device which I got from another department.  What possibly wrong could have happened in this case? My understanding was while enrolling device on SOTI, it does check if similar device(by comparing IMEI/Serial Number) is already enrolled or not. Is my understanding correct?

    Using Android Agent JavaScript API in Lockdown? Solved

    Hello, Is it possible to use the Android Agent JavaScript API (https://www.soti.net/mc/help/javascriptapi/en/mobicontrol.os.html) in the lockdown template? If so, do I need to import certain modules? I attempted to use some of the APIs but couldn't get them to work. Device Information Model: Zebra TC21 Mobi Agent: 15.1.5.1049 OS: Android 10 Thanks, John

    Android single app mode

    Is there a configuration that allows for a single app only to run without going through the lockdown launcher? I want a selected to application to run all the time like in a kiosk mode, but without having the user be able to go to a launcher type screen and select an app.  SO far I have been able to make a single app be the only choice to launch from the lockdown screen, but I want to just skip that all together and go straight to the app.   This is for a room scheduler deployment where all we want is for the device to always run the room scheduler app.

    Best practice to deploy O365 apps?

    Our company is looking at using MobiControl without the use of Intune or Azure Endpoint Management. Unsurprisingly O365 apps are required for ~90% of our employees. Given the current suggested method to deploy O365 apps (setup.exe + configuration XML) and a lack of an MSI installer, I was wondering if anyone has found a good method to deploy their O365 apps through Mobicontrol? Since there’s no support for .exe installers, I’ve wrapped it as an MSI and uploaded the installer, but my gut tells me there’s probably a better way that I’ve not thought of/seen yet.

    Fix screen rotation on Android 10 Solved

    Good morning, I need to fix the screen rotation into this device type: Producer: emdoor Android: 10 Enrollment type: Android Enterprise – Work Managed Device Agent version: 15.1.5.1049 MobiControl web instance version: 15.5.0.1021 The aim is to force it to landscape mode and then disable the automatic rotation. I already tried with this script: writesecuresetting -sys hide_rotation_lock_toggle_for_accessibility 1 writesecuresetting -sys accelerometer_rotation 0   But they are working with Android 8, not with Android 10. Into Android 10, which is the OS version installed in the device I need to set, if I send that script it only disables the automatic screen rotation, but it doesn't set it into landscape. It just remain in the position during which the automatico sceen rotation was disabled.   Is there any difference into Android 10 to force the landscape mode, before toggling off the automatic screen rotation?   Thank you, best regards.

    Work Managed view only on remote?

    I have enrolled some Samsung Galaxy A22 5G in a work managed device type but the devices are showing the supported APIs as Remote View 'Work Managed Devices' rather than remote control. Also when you try remote view the device has a popup which says 'Start recording or casting with MobiControl' with options of cancel or start now. How do I disable the notification so remote works without end user intervention.  I am using MobiControlcloud version 15.4.2 and the device is on OS version 11 Thanks

    Managed Apple IDs co-existing with Apple IDs?

    I'm trying to verify something - I was told by my account manager at SOTI (who is currently AWOL, so I guess I don't know who my current SOTI account manager is now) that it's possible to use both a managed Apple ID and a regular Apple ID simultaneously on a device. The reason why we want this is because we have a lot of turnover in the company and the Executive wants users to be able to use their phone for both work and personal. So, we're constantly setting up phones for users, only for them to be done in 3 months and then having to wipe and reset the phone for a new user. However, users will sometimes change their Apple ID passwords and device passcodes and not provide them, leaving us stuck with a phone that can't be reused for another user without some trickery. We haven't figured out how to forcibly remove an Apple ID from a SOTI assigned phone. Did I mention that we never got properly onboarded? Their support documentation is also atrocious. Yeah, I'm not impressed with SOTI support right now. Anyway, if I sign into a device with a Managed Apple ID, that part works fine. But if I try to sign into App Store with a personal Apple ID, it boots the Managed Apple ID off and takes over iCloud. Sigh. So, was my previous account manager lying or incorrect? Is this actually not possible? Any advice here would be appreciated!

    Chrome browser fails to install in Android Enterprise Solved

    I have an issue with a newly enrolled DataLogic Skorpio X5 device, enrolled to Mobicontrol in Device Owner mode, with a Managed Google Play account. The issue is that Google Chrome is not available from the main menu of the device. I have added an App Policy with the Chrome browser, and when I go to Google Play on the device, I can see that it repeatedly tries to install Google Chrome, but fails at the "installing" state. I have previously had an Application Run Control installed on the device, that by accident blocked Google Chrome, but even after removing that profile it is not working. Any suggestions what to do?
