    Datawedge failing to hit 'Enter' after scanning Solved

    Hi All, I've recently received a Zebra MC93 for testing from one of my vendors, I'm in the process of getting it set up for our Warehouse Management System. I have DW enabled and set to "send enter" but when I scan a barcode it's not sending enter as it should be. I have attempted to force stop and relaunch DW after turning the checkbox off and on, restarting device, etc. I've also tested with multiple apps to verify it wasn't just an issue with our WMS app, or a specific profile. Android 8.1.0 MobiControl Version: 14.3.0.3144 MC Agent Version 13.9.0 Build 1046

    Zebra OS-Update issue

    Hey Guys, I have a very specific Updateproblem with Zebra Devices. Anyway, hopefully someone can help me or got the same issue in the past. We try to Update our Zebra TC20 from OS 04.14.30 Lifeguard 4 to Lifeguard 13. If I do this with adb sideload and a USB Cable everything works fine.  We also done a few Updates remotely with Soti-Command Install_system_update and also with Zebra MX OS Update (http://techdocs.zebra.com/stagenow/3-4/csp/power/) This also worked fine on ~ 100 Devices. But now we get an Error on most of our devices. We got captured this Errormessage: Firstival we thought the OS Update File was not downloaded completly. So we done a few Tests but the Update File has the same size and MDM5-Sum. We also tested to copy the Update-File with Soti Remote Control with the same issue So for us it seems to be some local issue of the Device. Does anyone know if there is any cache limit or something else who could deny our OS Update??? Or is there any chance to force a "clean boot" which resets all the cache of the device? If we try to apply the Update on a fresh installed Device everything works fine. Also a Factory Reset can be applied by every device (same way like the Lifeguard Update) We also checked the File-Permission of the Update-File but it's always -rw-rw---- on working and non working devices. Further we tried to copy the File to /data/tmp/public with the same result. In any Case the Update-File has always the same Size :-( Could there be any File-Lock on the Update-File or has anyone an Idea how we can log this process to find out what happens in this situation? Many thanks so far.

    Honeywell CT60 Provision mode enable Solved Locked

    This question is specific to the honeywell device.  Google updates have blocked honeywell system service for suspicious activity. This has been fixed from a honeywell patch via OS update. However the devices that have the service already blocked and updated the firmware will still have the service blocked.  Honeywell sent me this android shell script to enable the service but I cannot seem to get it to work via SOTI. I have tried scripts via the console, post and pre install scripts under packages and also using the shell screen via remote control. Nothing seems to work.  Below is the shell script.  pm enable com.honeywell.tools.honsystemservice I need enable this honeywell service to use the honeywell provisioning mode. Thanks, Kavinda

    Retrieve deviceID

    Hello, our mobile application needs to retrieve the deviceID (from MobiControl) and I wanted to know the best / easiest way to do it. Is there a way to request this information directly from the agent installed on the device or do we have to use the API ?  Thank you ! (server version 14.3.3 / Android Enterprise DO)

    RESOLVED - "EnterpriseBrowser has stopped" error after reboot

    ORIGINAL QUESTION After the reboot the MobiControl starts.  Then the MobiControl starts Enterprise Browser.  The Product Registration loads up and then a error alert box appears that says "EnterpriseBrowser has stopped" with a Open app again button below the message. Is this a known issue concerning the application loading before a wireless connection can be completed within the scanner OS? UPDATED ON 10/12/2019 Ran the RXLogger app on the MC93, rebooted the scanner and the error occurred.  The RX Logger caught the error and logged it.  It showed a null object reference error. I got in touch with Zebra and we determined that the issue was in fact due to the MobiControl Lockdown configuration.  Zebra suggested that I use EHS (Enterprise Home Screen) but that app is not straightforward at all. Does anyone have any knowledge of using the Lockdown configuration that auto starts Enterprise Browser?

    Visibility of Application Rule Solved

    Hi,  Is there any way to limit the visibility of an application rule base on a custom attribute? This seems to be the only rule that can't be filtered which is a bit of a shame.  Or if anyone has a different way of making an application visible based on a custom attribute I would be interested to hear. Thanks

    File sync rule or similar method to send files from device to S3 bucket?

    We are exploring a way to gather app data from our devices on a scheduled basis and downloading them somehow from our MobicontrolCloud instance to one of our on prem servers. We can't enroll the server in Mobicontrol to use a file sync rule to download and would rather not explore SFTP unless we have to, do you know if there is a way to send files from a device to an S3 bucket of our choosing?

    return to lockdown on reconnecting to server

    Hello, Our users are using a web app but every time their TC51 reconnect to the WIFI they return automatically to the lockdown screen (and they lose their current work...) We already disabled the "doze mode" as indicated in this thread: https://discussions.soti.net/thread/stop-returning-to-lockdown-on-reconnecting-to-server/ And we also unchecked the "Update when device connects" option as indicated in https://discussions.soti.net/thread/lockdown-closes-open-app-and-refreshes-lockdown-homescreen-when-network-connection-changes-android-8/ After some tests, we discovered that the lockdown screen appears every time there's a "Device (Agent) checked-in" and indeed there is a "Device (Agent) checked-in" triggered when a TC51 reconnects to the WIFI. As I understand, this is a security feature to force the device to return into "user mode". But in our case the device is already in "user mode"... Or maybe I misunderstood ? It seems that this problem started when we updated the MobiControl agent on our devices Zebra TC51. We need some assistance please. How can we avoid this return to the lockdown screen at every "Device (Agent) checked-in" ? We are currently using Server MobiControl 14.4.2.1307,  Agent MobiControl 13.9.0.1046 and Zebra TC51 (Android 6.0.1) Thanks for your help. Frederic

    Zebra Enterprise Keyboard settings

    Hi, how to change the Settings from Zebra Enterprise Keyboard via .xml or skript. The problem is, that this keyboard has a bug (didn't show the navigation tabs sometimes). I know that i have to change following Settings: Navigation Mode change from Tab to Keys Preferred Tab change from Alpha Numeric to Numeric I git it now -.- <wap-provisioningdoc>  <characteristic type="EnterpriseKeyboard">    <parm name="NavigationMode" value="2"/>    <parm name="SelectPreferTab" value="1"/>  </characteristic></wap-provisioningdoc> For future and a tipp for others looking for those settings: Take a look at the device folder: /etc/mx/cspmgr/dsd/ and take a look for the setting you are looking for (ex. EnterpriseKeyboard). The names and values are listed here. and you have only to change the examples found here: https://techdocs.zebra.com/mx/uimgr/

    Version Control Agent & Apps via Managed Google Play

    Hello, how exactly would you realise somewhat of version control in android enterprise for things like agent updates and app updates (public). And how exactly is the agent update and app update handled by the managed google play store? What are the criteria that must be met in order of the play store to update the app / agent. ( i know you can manage app updates ) But that arent many options to choose from, we´d like to somewhat test new app and agent updates before they are silently pushed and installed on all the ae devices. What is your approach to this and what am i maybe missing? Thanks in advance. Kind regards John
