    How to change Android Managed Device timezone through SOTI console?

    I am curious what's timezone setup flow for Android devices through SOTI console. There is "Time Synchronization" in a group config where either custom timezone can be set or specific NTP server can be configured. But it does not affect any device in the group. So there are a few questions: 1. Is it possible to change device timezone through SOTI console at all? 2. Is it depend on Android version (I tested it with Android 6 devices)?

    Set App-Permissions with SOTI Solved

    Hey Guys, Is there any chance to set up App-Permissions within SOTI on an Zebra TC20 Device? We build an App which sets Wallpaper, changes Notifications an stuff like that. We can execute all these settings remote with the sendintent command. Unfortunately the App needs the Storage Permission wihich is not allowed after installation. Can Soti, MCStudio, Script Command Set or anything else grant the permissions without User action? Thanks!

    Collected data-- ideal collection rule interval?

    I have been having an issue that I hope the minds here can help with. We are using Mobicontrol Cloud and have been having issues since version 11 (we are now on 14.1) in which we find that we don't reliably get all the specified data from each device, even when they are online continuously, and I think I know why but would like ot hear your thoughts and opinions. We are probably trying to hard to get as much data as possible instead of just what is needed (of all the data we can specify in the collection rule we ope to NOT select only 4 parameters, and I think we are trying to grab it too frequently (20 minute interval). It seems like the 20 minute interval may not be enough to upload each manifest before the the schedule starts collecting again, this assumes that the collection is set up as a round-robin: connect to Device A, upload all that is there to take, connect to Device B, gather that data...and so on.  I think we may benefit from taking the following steps: -Reduce the individual items that we collect to only what is needed -Set up different collection rules and stagger them. Our single most important data to get is Location, so we could have a collection rule just for that and make sure it takes place on a schedule to avoid conflict with any other collection rules. Does anyone know if each rule gets its own thread when it executes? I'd like to understand if we can collect the same data if we simply break it up into smaller chunks per rule/schedule, or if it is too much data to collect in the current time interval (20 minutes) and we need to consider going to 30 or 45 minute schedules. Thanks!

    Agent upgrade doesn't work

    When I upgrade Mobicontrol to a newer version (on premise installation), I can't upgrade the agent via the webconsole (different devices). I can enable the agent upgrade, the console shows "Agent Upgrade Enabled: Yes". When I select upgrade agent now, the agen on the device exit, the device goes offline in the webconsole. After a few seconds the device is online again, with the same agent version. Any suggestions? Regards, Mark

On the device under profile within Soti we can see the software package but it keeps saying pending. it will not install for some reason. Also when we select the device in the mobi control, select the compliance and it says agent compatible is No.

    Disable "choose Browser" Menu

    Hey Guys, is there a chance to deploy a setting / intent or something else to avoid the "Choose Browser" Message on an Zebra TC Device? We've installed Soti Surf to use a single WEB-App in Kiosk-mode but dont want to use Soti Surf for other URLs or classic webview. for Example: if we start an App and there is an option to show any content online, the device will ask which Browser should be used (Chrome or Soti Surf) Many thanks

    Chrome for android managed bookmarks

    Currently running MobiControl v. 13.4.0.4962 Does anyone have any experience/knowledge about setting up App Configurations for Chrome on Android? We are managing a set of Android devices and would like to manage the bookmarks that show in Chrome. Under the Application Catalog rule we have set up, going under Application List > Google Chrome > Advanced > Enable App Configuration show several options, one of which is Managed Bookmarks. I've tried setting up the dictionary the way it explains there, as well as a few other formats, and get an error each time that says "The server could not complete your request. An internal error occurred. (Click here to close)". Has anyone come across this before? Or been able to solve it?

    Does MobiControl support Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment (KME) for Samsung devices running Android Enterprise device agent in managed-device mode?

    I tested Samsung KME for some Samsung test devices running Android+ device agent  a few months ago.  Does such support also exist when using Android Enterprise device-agent running in Managed-Device mode? If so,  does it have the same problem as KME with Android+ device agent, namely that the device end-user has the option of not agreeing to some Samsung Knox licensing conditions and can exit the KME normal flow of enrolling to the predefined MDM/EMM server after factory-reset?   Is anyone in Soti working on solving this issue, which render the KME feature useless for device theft protection against abnormal/unauthorized device factory reset?    Samsung guys confirmed with me that other MDM/EMM solutions do not have this licensing prompt pop-up on the device screen and thus have no such issue.

    Force Samsung "Secure Startup" on android enterprise devices

    I have a Samsung device that was setup as a work managed device. I have read that "encryption is enabled by default" on work managed devices but have seen the opposite on my devices. When I check the device statuses the encryption status is always "no" unless I manually enable secure boot on that device. I have searched high and low for an option to enable this but can not locate one. On standard android+ device profiles when the encryption option is enabled it turns on secure start up which requires entering the pin before the phone boots. Is there a way to force enable secure startup via MobiControl or am I stuck manually setting it.
