    Import APK from app store

    Hi All, We are using SOTI V13 with majority android plus devices. We are struggling to get vendors to provide us with APKs to push to our devices and provide updated APKs when required. I see we can put them in an "app catalogue" but this seems to just provide a link to a play store but the majority of our devices are shared devices in lockdown. I've also see within mobile iron you can pull an APK in from the play store. does anyone have any suggestions / advice?

    Intent to execute a SyncFile on a Android plus

    The idea is to create an Apk on the device that would ask the Device Agent to execute a syncfile (like commloader -syncfile on Windows CE) I guess there is an intent that can be sent to the device Agent ? What is the right syntax to do this ?

    Samsung Tab E - Prevent users from accessing Guest Account Solved

    Hi all - One our customers recently reported an issue to us where their users have a workaround for getting around our kiosk lock screen and logging into the Guest account to access YouTube, Netflix, etc... which are typically blocked via our profiles pushed out to all devices.  Since I have a profile that blacklists applications pushed down to every device, why would this no hold true when switching to the Guest profile?  All of the blacklisted apps appear when in Guest mode. Is there a way I can disable or prevent access to the Guest account via MobiControl?  This is a huge liability as our application is used in vehicles in the logistics industry.

    Prevent users from adding Google accounts on Android devices Solved

    I would like to prevent users from adding Google accounts on their devices. The problem is that users will sometimes add an account and then neglect to log out of it when they leave or are terminated. This leaves us with a $300 paperweight since it is Google locked. Application Run Control can't prevent the Google account enrollment screen from coming up, even though I have identified the screen I would like to block. As such, I'm looking for creative solutions/work-arounds to either: 1) Prevent users from adding Google accounts. 2) A script to silently remove all Google accounts. 3) A way to identify devices with Google accounts so we can reach out to those individuals and remedy the situation.

    Adding a SOTI Surf bookmark to the homescreen

    I'm working with Android devices (Zebra TC70X/75X) running OS v 7.1.2 and enrolled as Android Enterprise. Is there a way to put bookmarks in SOTI Surf on the home screen? Is this a feature that could be added? I'd like to make accessing this bookmark as easy as possible for our technicians. It would be great to have one button to tap instead of opening the browser and then having them hit the link there.

    Zebra TC25 Enrollment Solved

    I'd like to enroll my TC25 (BSP 03-11-03-0-NG-00-M1, Patch v3) to Soti MC 13.4 or 14.1. After an enterprise reset I use a StageNow profile to connect to the Wi-Fi, download mcsetup.ini and the Soti agent (ZebraMobiControl1350_1088.apk), install Soti agent and set it as DO. Once agent is started I see the message "This device agent is incompatible with your device. Please contact your administrator". Well, am I doing something wrong? How to enroll TC25?

    Send Messages to Android For Work Devices (device owner) Solved

    Hello We are testing some Motorola phones (Moto E4 Plus, G5, C,)with Android for Work Owner device . We have several issues and I would appreciate your comments on them: 1. With  lockdown applied, the status bar is not visible so users may not see the battery level, signal, etc. There is not option to show it. 2. When you send a message, it does not pop up the message but instead you have to open de Mobicontrol agent to see the message (the agent is shown in the lockdown) 3.In the devices (E4Plus, G5) that do not have physical buttoms (back, home, menu) it is not possible to exit lockdown. I also found that E4Plus allows remote control. The others , remote view. Thank you

    Zebra TC56 Nougat - RC plugin Solved

    Hi! Tried to use Remote Control for a TC56 device enrolled to a server running 14.1 and as Android Enterprise Manged Device. I know that we need a MDM plugin for Remote Control to work on Android Enterprise but none of the two versions did work for the TC56. Neither Legacy or Hawkeye. (not compatible) I have recently got this to work OK with the TC20 device. Is there some update planned?
