    My Samsung devices are reporting inaccurate device time, cannot set the Time Zone as devices are physically moving across time zones regularly (e.g. devices in vehicle).

    Devices are being kitted for a new deployment and are powered down and shelved after kitting is complete. When the devices are coming on line some of them are showing inaccurate time reported in the logs. Is there a way to automate the time zone settings to enable these 2 settings as we already have a number of devices that have been completed.

    My Dialer app for Samsung OS 13 is not working with Native Lockdown template applied- Solved

    Phone app package ID name: com.samsung.android.dialer: when pressing the phone app it opens but when dialing the number it does not do anything. Tried this in admin mode and it dials out just fine. Ran the Identify_Activity script in admin mode while dialing out and got this package ID name: com.samsung.android.incallui/com.android.incallui.call.InCallActivity Tried adding this to the lockdown template for phone Launch:// and got the MC error: No activity found: when I press the phone button. I ended up switching the lockdown back to Activity Suppression but now I cannot use my recents button which is only available with Native Lockdown.  How can I get my Dialer app to work with Native Lockdown template applied?

    How to create a dynamic App Whitelist with deployed Apps?

    Hi everyone, We're trying to avoid users can install and run some other Apps different than the deployed ones. We know App Run Control and Whitelist, but cannot create manually a Whitelist for every policy we create and assign, there's too many. Is there any way to create a dynamic App whilelist containing all the deployed Apps in a device? Thank you very much in advance.

    How to avoid a user from installing Play Store apps?

    Hi everyone, We have 2 Gmail account on Android devices. First one is the automaticly created when Work Managed profile is installed to the device during the enrollment process. The other Gmail account is for Contacts and WhatsApp backup purposes. From the first one (automatic), users can only install the managed Apps we deploy for them using MobiControl. From the other one (manual), users can install every App they wanted to, but this is something we must cut off right away. Is it possible and how we can avoid the user to install any additional App apart from the managed ones on their devices? Thank you very much in advance.
