Hell all, we have mobicontrol in version 13.3.0.3454 We have a lot of device in zebra TC75X with android 6 and 7. the client mobicontrol is on version 13.3.2 build 1014 actually, we migrate all url we call in http to https. i can install the certificate on the device without problem all works fine. I would like to know if some people has experience with certificate. Is it better to add the certificate in a separate profile or it's better to add the certificate in the main profile (where authentifcation kiosk is added) ? Actually, for testing i have created a separate profile who contains just the certificate I have a main profile where i have (bookmark, kiosk, …) and so on. I can install all, remove all, all seems to work but i would like to have some advice or suggestion. thanks for sharing your knowledge

Hello, We have Lenovo devices so the user may not display any notifications. Apps are blocked, but still notifications are popping up. writesecuresetting -sec lock_screen_allow_private_notifications 0 writesecuresetting -sec lock_screen_show_notifications 0 But I assume this command is only for Samsung. Is there also one for a Lenovo Tab 3 10? As well I tried to set a background/lock screen image in SOTI MobiControl 14.4.1 (via advanced option) but this doesn't work at all. Does somebody have any idea how to change this? Thank you for your comments
Hello, I am testing the kiosk mode for an android terminal +, everything seems to work well apart from one thing. I can not leave the kiosk mode from the terminal. Let me explain, when I'm on my kiosk I keep pressing the return key and type my password, the kiosk is unlocked but 3 or 4 seconds later the kiosk mode relaunches itself. Could you help me? below my version of mobicontrol and android + Spec:
Is there a possible way to use jQuery Modules (like alertify) in a Lockdown or Kiosk Mode ?
We updated a configuration on one of our Google Managed Play apps in the MobiControl app catalog and yet the app has not updated on the device. The app is set as a mandatory app. From my findings the app should update automatically but the app does not show to update. We are using a Zebra TC57 with OS 8.1.0. MobiControl v. 14.4.2. The devices are AEOD in kiosk mode preventing user interaction.
Hello, We have around 350 Android+ handheld devices that we configure for lockdown using a custom HTML kiosk. It works well but we have an issue where we can't push any updates to the devices over cellular. If the profile is altered in any way (package update, kiosk code update, even a setting option change) the devices on cellular simply minimize the kiosk and remove the lockdown, effectively opening up the device. This happens even when we have the device group enabled to update over wifi, cellular, and cellular while roaming. What would be some things I can check to make sure we have this configured correctly? Only being able to update over wifi is very inconvenient when managing so many devices. Thanks!

Hi I have created custom attributes in the Global Settings / Manage Custom Attributes. I'm able to assign custom attribute value to a device group but not to a device. I use a version 14.3.3 of MC. The help says : To assign a custom attribute value to a device: Click a device name to open its Device Information panel. On the Device Details tab, scroll to the Custom Attributes section. Click the pencil icon to turn on custom attribute editing. Enter a value for the custom attribute you want to apply to this device. Click Save to apply the new custom attribute value. Values for custom attributes are visible in the Device Information panel. You can edit the values at any point, following the same steps. I don't have any Custom Attributes section in the Device Details tab. I have : COMPLIANCE / DEVICE DETAILS / CELLULAR DETAILS / DEVICE STATUSES / USER DETAILS / HARDWARE DETAILS / ANTIVIRUS / ANDROID ENTERPRISE Am I missing something ? Thank you.
Hello everyone, I encounter some issue (as some of you I have seen!) regarding the deployment of an APK on a AEDO device. The profile stay in a "Install Failed" status (Failed to Install (File I/O Error)). On the device I have the following message from the Google Play Protect : If I click on "INSTALL ANYWAY" the app is correctly installed. If I deploy a FC profile with the "Disable verivy apps enforcement" feature : I am able to manually disable the GPP Scan : This is the same thing / result as if I sent the following script on the device : writesecureprofstring DeviceFeature DisableVerifyApps 1apply featurecontrol If I manually disable the "Scan device for security threats" option, I can deploy my APK via my profile without any problems. Also, I am able to install my APK directly on the device from a USB driver for example. Question : Is there a way to disable the "Scan device for security threats" with a script or a trick ? For now, the solution is to blacklist Google Play via an App run control profile. But I use a managed Google Play store and I need Google Play on the device... The complete solution would therefore be : 1/ Deploy App Run Control profile 2/ Deploy APK 3/ Revoke App Run Control profile Quite tedious.... Thank you !
Hi, A customer of ours is using an application that is downloaded from the Google Play Store through the Application Catalog. When the application has a new version, the developers are making use of the in-app update API where it prompts the user the update the application now or wait until later. The problem is that if the user presses the update button, they are taken to the Google Play Store where they can download any application they want. I can't blacklist the Play Store as we do want the applications to auto update when the Play Store does so, I just need to be able to stop the application presenting the prompt. I've done some research and I don't think it's possible to suppress this or block it completely but if anyone can suggest anything to try I'd appreciate the help. Thanks Josh.
So I can't figure out how to get our app to auto upgrade on kiosk devices. I've got a Google Play store page set up for a private app, and I'm able to issue upgrades through the play store page. Next, I have to go into the mobicontrol cloud and update the application catalog, which isn't ideal, but whatever, I can deal with that, but after updating the application catalog, none of our devices will download the upgrade. The only way I've been able to get devices to upgrade is to remote control into the device in Admin mode, go into the application catalog in the DPC and upgrade the app. Moreover, there seems to be a bug with this scenario because after I upgrade the app with these steps, when I go to set the device back into User mode, the app will be uninstalled! I then have to re-install the latest app and then I will be able to set the device back into User mode. I've asked a sales engineer that has been helping me out some, but he's not very responsive and hasn't provided any information on how to get the app to auto upgrade. There was a Droidcon Berlin talk just last week I think about setting devices up in kiosk mode and through their own setup they were able to get apps to auto upgrade, plsu they were also able to use the test tracks in the Google Play Store. I've been trying to use the test tracks of the private google play store app for a while but Soti doesn't have any information about that either, and that probably deserves another question, but I know it's doable and getting the app to upgrade should also be possible. Is it possible to get these private apps to auto upgrade without having to log into each one and manually doing it? Thanks,
Good Afternoon, I'm looking to set the Home & Lock Screen of our Android 9.0 devices running MobiControl v13.7.3.1045 with a script. So far I've been able to configure the lock screen using the script below but I am struggling to find a script that will set the homescreen as well. writeprivateprofstring LockscreenOverlay WallpaperPath "%sdcard%image.jpg"apply LockscreenOverlay In the documentation for the writeprivateprofstring command the syntax is as follows: writeprivateprofstring section [key] [value]Where the section is the name of the section in the .ini file to which the value will be written. If the section does not exist, it will be created. The name of the section is case-sensitive.Where can I find the .ini file that has all the values I can modifying using the writeprivateprofstring command?Regards,Johnathon
