    Gboard managed app config

    Hi all, I'm deploying Gboard along with a managed app config and have the following challenge. Our devices have a scanner attached to them that's set as an HID which causes the on-screen keyboard to hide itself. Within Gboard there's a separate setting from the physical keyboard setting that forces it to show itself. This however doest not seem to be a setting that we can push through the app config. Is that correct? Also what are the options for the Keyboard Mode within the app config? There does not seem to be a lot of documentation about the managed app config options. This setting:

    Updating WiFi Password on Enterprise Enrolled Android Devices Solved

    Hello SOTI and Friends,    My question is in regard to updating the WiFi password. Our devices are enrolled into MobiControl using a QR code generated from our Enrollment Policy. The QR code sets up the device's network connection and other MobiControl configurations. To change the Wi-Fi password, do I need to create a new Work Managed Profile with the new SSID and password? If I apply this profile to all devices, will it permanently override the existing Wi-Fi settings, even after a device restart?

    Unable to Log in into 802.1x WIFI EAP-TLS

    Hi Everyone, I sucessfully did the implementation of my CA into MobiControl. (AD CS DCOM)I created the needed templates for my devices. My devices are not logging in to my 802.1x EAP-TLS SSID it is only "saved" under wifi configuration.I am testing with Samsung and Zebra devices on Android 11/13. As I checked the certificates on the devices on the Zebra device the CA root certificate is not selectable as CA certificate. On the Samsung device it is selectable.Both devices are not logging in. Can someone tell me what it "Identity" does? The Android devices wants to have an identity or I am not able to connect to the WIFI. Maybe I have a misconfiguration on my Windows NPS server? I can't see any logs there.

    SOTI battery plugin, battery serial to ini/txt file

    Hi. I use Honewyell XT socket plugin so it is possible to view battery information like serial number in Xsight. I would like to add serialnumber as custom data in mobicontrol panel. Then I could create a signal rule that would e.g. display a message when a battery that shouldn't be there or is damaged is put into the device. Is there a way to use xSight data in Mobicontrol?

    Any way to automate "Allowed networks for apps" either through SOTI settings or scripts?

    We have tried the Managed Google Play Profile settings for Wiffi only or never update settings.  Setting to Wifi only doesn't really do anything.  We are currently setting it to never update, but not sure if that will work either. Is there a SOTI feature, script or Profile settings for the below?

    Android Upgrades to Android 13 automated via SOTI MobiControl

    Hi all, we, as a partner, are facing the challenge of remotely upgrading Android 10 and 11 devices to Android 13. Affected are different customers with different devices. Mainly Zebra devices but also other OEMs. It is not possible to perform the upgrade via LifeGuard OTA, configured in the MobiControl console. Neither it’s possible to transfer the OS ZIP file to the device and start the upgrade via script. Crucial for this is the change from full disk encryption to file based encryption from Android 11 to Android 13. All our customers want to upgrade their devices OTA, without any interaction directly done on the devices. They have hundreds and thousands of devices, distributed all over the world. A workaround from Zebra is provided to prevent data loss: https://supportcommunity.zebra.com/s/article/000027787?language=en_US But for this workaround, its complex to set it up in the first place and according to reports it comes with problems and bugs during and after the upgrade process. To get a clean upgrade and SOTI enrollment, it is recommended to factory reset the devices, upgrade them, and reenroll them in SOTI. Because of the manual processes, it is not suitable for our customers. Even by configuring the processes in tools like StageNow, there are sill too many manual steps involved for the end users. What are your experiences with that topic? Do you have any solutions or workarounds? I would love to hear how other partners or customers are solving that. Thank you in advance.

    Write Secure Setting Android Enterprise

    Good Morngin to all,  We need to change the setting related to the screensaver on our Honeywell CT30 devices throug SOTI script. The device is enrolled with Android Enterprise and it has Android 11. Agent version is 2024.1.6.1140. The screensaver setting is activated by default and it start "While docked".But we want to change the setting for start "When charging".  So, we have found a way on old CT60 with Android Classic (Android 9), by sending a simple legacy script: writesecuresetting -sec screensaver_activate_on_sleep 1writesecuresetting -sec screensaver_activate_on_dock 0This work well on old Android Classic devices, but it seems don't work on new Android Enterprise.I've read some articles related to the fact that with Android Enterprise and with last version of Android, some script won't work correctly because of Google policy. So I'm here to ask, if someone know a way to do this.I see in the logs that when I sent the script, it seems to be not recognize correctly.  On old CT60 once the script is done I see:Custom log (URI:content://settings/secure SETTING:screensaver_activate_on_dock VALUE:0)Custom log (URI:content://settings/secure SETTING:screensaver_activate_on_sleep VALUE:1) But on CT30 I just see: Script was sent to device (writesecuresetting -sec screensaver_activate_on_sleep 1 writesecuresetting -sec screensaver_activate_on_dock 0) It seems the script is not recognized correctly from the device and the setting don't change. Is there someone that can help me?  Or maybe, it is just not possibile to do this with new Android version. Thank you!
