    Updating App Versions in App Policies taking a long time

    I have an enterprise application that I have to update regularly and every time I do it takes forever to flow down to the devices. I have 1200 devices now but this speed has been this way since I put my first 100 devices into my 2024.1 instance. Not sure if I am missing something but is there anyway to speed up the flow of the updated APK to all devices?

    Shared phone management with Microsoft SSO applications

    Local Script Execution at Device Startup

    Hi, Is there a way to run a script locally on the device at boot or startup? More specifically, I would like to run a script that toggles Data Roaming on (if it is not already enabled) every time the device starts up. This serves as a safeguard to ensure that Data Roaming is always enabled, as our app requires it to maintain an internet connection. The script should run locally on the device without needing an internet connection, similar to the boot-up procedure that allows our kiosk app to start automatically on device reboot.  We are using Samsung Android devices with OS versions 13, 14, and 15. Thanks for your help in advance, Stefan

    Samsung S34 Samrtphone / Android 16/ One UI 8.0 /Back Button to access Admin mode not working Solved Locked

    Hello, we have updated our smartphones from Android 14 to Android 16 with the new Samsung One UI 8.0. Now it is no longer possible to access admin mode, as nothing happens when you press and hold the back button. Admin mode can now only be accessed via the Soto Mobicontrol Center. Google has assigned a new function (preview) to the Back button in Android 16 when you press and hold it. This means that the previous function of SOTi no longer works. We need a workaround in the Soti app because we cannot access Admin mode without the company Wi-Fi. Best regard

    Can MobiControl Facilitate Enrolling/Unenrolling Applications into Beta Programs in the Google Play Store?

    A few months ago, we manually enrolled majority of our Samsung devices into the Samsara Driver beta program for testing out new features & giving feedback to Samsara. Now that we are the end of the beta period, we are advising the on-site teams to go through all of their phones manually to unenroll the phones from beta program. On each of the phones, they have to go into the Google Play Store on each phone to remove it from the program, same what they had to do for enrollment. In my testing of removing a phone from the beta program, uninstalling and reinstalling did not automatically remove it from the beta program. Does MobiControl, and I guess Android as a whole, allow IT administrators to either enroll or unenroll devices from application beta programs? All of our Android phones are enrolled into MobiControl as Work Managed if that makes a difference.

    How to Generate a Report for Available Android Updates Across Multiple OEMs Solved

    Hello everyone, we are currently managing several Android Enterprise devices from different OEMs, including Zebra, Samsung, and Blackview. We are looking for a way to generate a report or dashboard in SOTI MobiControl that shows: The current Android version on each device Whether an Android OS update is available If so, which version the update would bring the device to Unfortunately, we have not yet found a reliable method within the MobiControl console to pull this information across all devices and brands. Does anyone know how to implement this kind of update status reporting in SOTI MobiControl?Is there perhaps a way using Custom Data, Advanced Search, or any scripted solution via StageNow, OEMConfig, or SOTI Hub? Any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Increase/disable Volume on Zebra MC22 scanners

    I would like to disable the option for the users to lower/increase the volume of the beeps, but i can't seem to find the correct option within Soti.  i tried the settings manager, and switched the sound settings to OFF, but it's still possible to change them using the buttons on the device. I also tried the feature control (allow device volume) , and this option DID disable the volume buttons on the device, but it also disabled the sound, and that's not what i want. So basically i need an option to increase/re-enable the volume when using the feature control.

    Phone book on Android devices Solved

    Hello everyone, there is a way to create a phone book in Mobicontrol that is then installed on multiple phones. I don't want to do this with a vfc file, because I have to exchange it again and again with every new contact. It is best if I have an app with which the contacts are then also displayed in the contacts app of the mobile phone. I would then also like to maintain the contacts in this app and use it to synchronise all devices. We are still on Mobicontrol 2024.0 and I would like to set it up for Samsung devices that are Worked Managed. Many thanks in advance Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

    Package upload restriction for packages or files over 2GB

    Hallo zusammen, nachdem Zebra das "LifeGuard Update 13-34-23.00-TG-U00" Update zurückgezogen hat und die Empfehlung ausgesprochen hat für weiteres funktionieren von Updates, das "LifeGuard Update 13-39-18.00-TG-U00" zu installieren, habe ich das mit "Package Studio" paketiert um ein Profil zu erstellen. Leider kam die Meldung das dies wegen maximaler Größe von 2GB nicht möglich ist. Das über FileSync zu realisieren ist zwar möglich aber für die Verwendung von XTreme Hub und dem damit verbundenen Lastenausgleich sinnfrei. UPL Dateien werden ab Android 11 und höher auch nicht mehr unterstützt, so das man das nicht kummulieren kann. Ich würde mich für eine Lösung sehr freuen, danke für Ideen im vor raus. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone,  after Zebra retracted the "LifeGuard Update 13-34-23.00-TG-U00" update and recommended installing the "LifeGuard Update 13-39-18.00-TG-U00" for further functioning of updates, I packaged this with "Package Studio" to create a profile. Unfortunately, I received the message that this is not possible due to the maximum size of 2GB. While it is possible to realize this via FileSync, it is pointless for the use of XTreme Hub and the associated load balancing. UPL files are also no longer supported from Android 11 and higher, so that cannot be accumulated. I would be very happy for a solution, thank you in advance for any ideas.
