    Device name in URL

    Hi All, Question how do i start a webbrowser with a link in it to the device.It would be nice, otherwise i need to config on every device the %DEVICENAME% manually in the weblink.For example:  kill_application org.mozilla.firefox sendintent -a "http://xxxxxxxxxx=%DEVICENAME%#Intent;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;end" I try this on a Zebra TC51 but i think the command kill_application is not working.  I already tried this:https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v14.2/en/console/reference/dialogs/agents/devicenamingmacros.html

    Lockdown Template - Custom HTML \ Javascript

    Hi,  Could someone let me know what app the lockdown template opens in?  I was looking at running some custom HTML and javascript (within <script>... </script>) but it doesn't seem to execute.  I can run the code in the chrome browser on the mobile device (Samsung tablet) but would prefer to use the lockdown template so  I can utilise the built-in functionality e.g, allowed apps, access to % attributes.  Appreciate any thoughts.  Thanks

    How to put necessary Android Activities in Lockdown

    Hey Guys, actually we need some Android Activities to be accessable within the Kiosk-Mode. e.g. for PTP (Picture Transfer Mode on USB Connection) So far we set this activity (com.android.settings/.deviceinfo.UsbModeChooserActivity) at position 1 in our Lockdown-Configuration And in our Template, App #1 is hidden, so the User can't see any link for this activity. It has just to be accessable but not visible: Now I have to grant access to a few more activities. The Question now: Can I write the Launch:// Command directly inside the Lockdown-Template so I dont have to add all these activities to the lockdown Config ? I already tried to change <MCLink0> to Launch://com.android.settings/.deviceinfo.UsbModeChooserActivity but this is not working. Maybe I have to exclude some special characters ?!? Did anyone of you solve this problem already ? Many Thanks!

    Best Practices for sending broadcast messages

    Hello. I'm looking for best practices in sending broadcast messages to all or groups of devices several times a week. We are wanting to send Reminders and Tips to our users on COVID-19 related items and I would like to know how some of you are communicating with your end-users in a similar way.  I've used the send message function but would like to look at alternatives.  Version: 14.5.3.1042 Android Enterprise/Android Plus 99% of phones are in kiosk mode  Thanks, John

    Android DO - Wifi Proxy with Username Authentication

    Hi, Is is possible to provide Android Enterprise devices (DO) with a wifi profile that includes proxy settings with username and password authentication? A customer of mine wants to push this wifi profile to samsung devices. The proxy settings include an SSID, PSK, Proxy server name, port number, Service Account Name and password. I can see in the profile config everything but the service account username and password fields. Some of the devices are leveraging Samsung Knox Configure Dynamic. I've tested this once but the result was that the username and password fields on the devices wifi profile appeared blank once I made the changes. However, even if I get this to work, I'm only able to push this to those devices on KNOX configure... not all devices. So a SOTI mobicontrol solution would be the preferred method. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Chris

Is there a sdk to Android Enterprise Agent integration that, as in IOS, allow to get/set values from local device agent ?

    Disable Physical Power Button on Android Devices

    Hey all, We are currently on MobiControl Version: 15.0.0.6019 We have both Samsung S8 and S5 in enrolled into our account. Is there a way to disable the physical power button from getting used on the devices? We want to prevent users from turning off the devices on their own as it becomes a security risk. They can simply turn off the device if they want to steal it. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
