    Location Services not working in MC1 v14.4.1.1195

    Hi All, We have a situation where the Location Service is not working in one of the production instances ( we use Android+ devices ).  We do observe the below error in the Management Service logs every time we click "Location"  on a device .  We have another instance where the location tracking works perfectly.  tried to check both the instances for any difference, but no luck so far.  Any direction on where to look for or what could be the issue would be highly appreciated. ************************************* [2019-12-10 17:29:52.638] ERROR [MapsCredentialController.GetMapsKey] [8ca3dd37-9036-4411-9bf8-6244307c0ee6] (185): *************************** Exception: Bad Data. ***************************[CryptographicException: Bad Data.] at System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException.ThrowCryptographicException(Int32 hr) at System.Security.Cryptography.Utils._DecryptData(SafeKeyHandle hKey, Byte[] data, Int32 ib, Int32 cb, Byte[]& outputBuffer, Int32 outputOffset, PaddingMode PaddingMode, Boolean fDone) at System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoAPITransform.TransformFinalBlock(Byte[] inputBuffer, Int32 inputOffset, Int32 inputCount) at System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock() at System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream.Dispose(Boolean disposing) at System.IO.Stream.Close() **************************************

    How to associate an asset tag to a device

    We have an all Android for Work tablet environment. We have asset tags that will be using an alpha-numeric string of characters  such as "Device 001" etc. How can I associate one of these asset tags to a device in my Soti console either during enrollment or after the device is enrolled? I saw the Custom Data field option, but the instructions for using those 3 fields read to me like they can only be associated to a data point already on the devices.  Ideally, I'd like a field I can upload a CSV file or similar to because I am going to need to associate multiple thousands of devices & asset tags to each other.

    Deploying a work profile to Samsung devices to use SIM2 only

    We are looking at the feasibility to deploy a work profile and to utilise the dual SIM capability, initially on Samsung devices. Therefore to use SIM1 for personal and SIM2 for work profile. Does this sort of feature exist or in the pipeline for implementation into later versions of MobiControl, especially as more devices are being released into the marketplace with SIM card managers for dual sim's

    Notification Sounds in lockdown

    We are using Android Enterprise lockdown. We are happy to allow users to expand the status bar to see push notifications, however we are getting reports that sounds are not playing. Is this just controlled by the volume setting on the device or will the lockdown block the sounds?

    Agent on ZEBRA TC56 disconnects itself Solved

    We have a lot of TC56 in the filed and all keep connection to MobiControl server if there is a Wifi or mobile connection.But on a view devices the agent gets disconnected even if there is an active network connection (other apps can work well over the internet). After a reset the MobiControl agent remains disconnected. You can only get the agent connected if you tap on the “Agent Status” in the Device configuration view of the MobiControl agent. But it gets disconnected after a few minutes again. The connection settings are Perisistent for these devices (like for all other devices) How can I get these devices pemanently online again? MobiControl version: 14.4.3 Android Enterprise Agent Versio: several 13.6.0 - 14.0.0

    Full Wiping (including Enterprise Partition) of Zebra devices

    MobiControl device agent and some other MDM/EMM related files are often not wiped even after a normal factory reset on Zebra dervices.   The reason is probably due to the fact that such files are stored in a secured enterprise partition different from the normal partition for other apps and data.  So, what are the possible procedures  to remotely wipe everything on a Zebra device?  If MX commands in .xml file  are needed, can anyone provide example?  Is that any other approach (e.g. using Zebra MX utility software) if the device is on hand (can thus can get connected via a USB cable)?

    Instalation of Android+ on generic Android 7.1.2 TV

    Hello all, I have the next problem : I have a generic-no brand Android 7.1.2 TV. My goal is to install a lockdown mode on it and allow access to only one webpage. The problem I have is next:I have no idea what specific OEM agent to download, as the tv has no brand. The only info I could get for it is that it is a "rockchip-rk3288". If i try to download the Android Enterprise application from Google Play, i can enroll the TV with a Android+ code , but not with an Android Enterprise code(INVALID ENROLLEMENT ID ERROR). Why is that a problem? Because if I enroll it with a Android+ Code, after the enrollement it will delete that agent and install a work profile.So, I will have a device registered as Android+, but which in fact is Android Enterprise. So I can not assign any profiles to it. Any solutions?Cheers,
