    Location History Not Working Despite Data Collection Rule

    Recently I noticed the Location History on our Samsung devices stopped working.  It has worked in the past.  We did recently upgrade to Mobicontrol v15.  I have a data collection rule that is set to track location every 5 min.  On the log of the devices it even shows this data is being collected.  However When I attempt to view the location history of a device I get an error that there is no location data present.  Any ideas why? Update...I just noticed that the log shows Location data being collected every 5 min, however on the collected data tab it only shows data from 2 days in the last month.

    Navigation in the "File" app with cursor not possible from the remote control

    From the "Remote Control" module, in the "File" application it is impossible to select a folder or a file with my cursor..Possible workaround with "TAB" + "multidirectional arrow" keys to select the target and "enter" key to select. Do you have a solution to help us correct this problem? Device : ZEBRA TC21OS : 10MC Web Console version: 15.4.1.4828MC agent version: GoogleMobiControl1510_1045

    Work Profile on Work Managed Android Enterprise Devices - Question

    Things to note: - Android Enterprise Enrollment - Android Work Managed Profile - Gsuite Emails Was wondering if this possible. We have fleet workers have a phone and we usually have them download the "Google Apps Device Policy" which we have deployed already onto the phone. We use a generic gmail login to setup the phone. There is a limit to how many devices can be using one gmail account. A new device being setup will kick out one of our fleet members and we have them sign into their work emails and authenticate so they can get updates via playstore and use google maps. The issue seems to be on work managed devices doesn't prompt for "Android Device Policy" which is what google is fully transitioning to in January 2021. Is it possible to have both fully work managed device also have a work profile or should all fleet members be switched to "Basic" mobile management for all fleet members. What is the best approach?

    Prevent Mobicontrol Agent Upgrade

    Hi, I have been trying to prevent Mobicontrol agent from upgrading but so far have been unsuccessful. We're deploying AE Mobicontrol agent v14.5.5 via QRCode and placing into a lockdown profile. Add rules where the agent download points towards both google play and local server have not prevented the upgrade. So far restrictions implemented include Device Agent Upgrade Enabled = No Device group - Advanced Config - Agents and Plugin Upgrade Settings - Deselect all options (wifi, cellular etc) Max agent compatibility version in db = 14.5.5 The closest I have got is placing Mobicontrol as a managed google play application and setting the MGP play update policy to Never Update. However, a notification that the update is available is still presented to the user, who can navigate to google play store and manually update the agent. Unfortunately, I cannot turn off all notifications, due to customer requirement for other app notifications and a need for activity suppression lockdown. Further, Never update means other MGP applications will no longer auto-update.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Adam

    How to Factory Reset Device with unknown PIN after deletion from Mobicontrol

    We have a handful of devices that used to be enrolled in our Mobicontrol environment on a profile that requires a PIN to be set and a Factory Reset not allowed.  These devices have been deleted from our Mobicontrol environment but the unknown PIN still remains on the tablet.  I cannot perform a hard factory reset from the power on screen as it notes MDM prevents it.  Also for some reason we have it set that after 10 failed attempts it should factory reset but that is not happening. How can I factory reset these devices?

    How to re-enable Agent mode: agent Solved Locked

    Hello We are using Zebra TC21 scanners, that we lock down via device control with authentication policy as disable lock screen As these are in production environments the supervisors have the admin password to unlock the scanners so they can perform a data storage clear of a Dynamics NAV app that occasionally goes haywire. My question is how can I set a timer that automatically reenables the agent mode after a set time or can I run a script that will re-enable it, as the supervisors sometimes forget? additionally is there a script to clear the storage for a given installed application? any help would be appreciated.

    View app version code value

    I have an app to manage in which the vendor releases multiple versions of the application without changing the version name, only the version code number. This is not reflected in the app version and Mobicontrol will only display the version number.  Is there a way to view the app version Code value for an installed app?
