    Package studio -> how to copy a apk file to a folder on android ? Solved

    Hello all, I work with mobicontrol on version v13.3.3454 and i have just one device Zebra TC75X under android -> 7. Enrolled by android+ On this device when I install a app, the app ask me the to accept permission. For to avoid this, with zebra StageNow, i have made a xml file for to install this app in mode silent -> permission are not demand to the user. That's work fine. But my problem is, I have create a package studio, right click add a file (appName.apk) and for the destination file /sdcard/AppToInstall the folder AppToInstall is create by a pre install script -> work every time My problem is, the profile is always well installed but the apk it's never INSIDE in the folder AppToInstall !!! I've try to change the destination path with add / or delete / before sdcard ...but nothing work.. Also, I have open again the package studio an replace the apk file by a file txt file, replace the package inside the profile -> assign profile -> result the file is well inside the folder AppToInstall :) Someone can tell me, how i can copy an apk to a folder inside the folder structure ? That's enough strange .. thanks for your time

    Lockdown - allow access to public Wi-Fi pages

    We have locked down our devices so that the users can only see a specific app and the Wi-Fi settings. Users need to be able to connect to public Wi-Fi so we have added SOTI Surf with very locked down permissions. I'm trying to figure out what option under Web Content Filtering in the Surf settings would cover these Wi-Fi registration pages (and exclude it).  I've attempted using trial and error but it would be handy if someone was able to confirm.

    Wi-Fi settings - remember password

    We are using Lockdown with Android Enterprise. We access the Wi-Fi settings using action://CONFIGURE_WIFI This seems to work well, however we have found that when changing between 2 networks the password is forgotten, so when switching back to the original network the user must re-enter the password. Is there a setting to adjust this or is this just how this works?

    MobiControl won't stay connected Solved Locked

    Hi, we have 45 Samsung Galaxy TabS4's, with mobicontrol agent ver. 13.7.5....my problem is, that the agent only stays connected when mobicontrol app itself is opened up, as as soon as it gets closed or minimized, the agent disconnects. In the mobicontrol connection settings it's set to permanent. Any suggestions, how to set it up to always be connected?

    Setting up multiple different WiFis on Android devices before in field use

    Hello everybody, I have been trying to find a good way for setting up multiple WiFis on my Lenovo tabM7 devices running Android 9. We have around 90 Stores, each store is using its own WiFi (different SSID, different key etc.). I obviously have to put in the WiFi information on each device before it gets send out to the store during the initial enrollment and setup of the device in our main office. Each store has its different device group inside MobiControl. It can't really be best practice to use 90+ Profiles with different WiFi settings and assign them to each device? Thanks!

    Managed Google Play apps not loading into Application Catalog

    Good Afternoon, i have enrolled a Samsung device with Android Enterprise. i created a test Android for work profile and configured a kiosk "lockdown" screen. there is 2 apps available in the Managed Google Play store that we need to push out the devices. I have created a rule and added the apps to the rule. after several minutes of creating the rule and assigning it to my device, the application catalog still is not showing me the apps. am i doing something wrong? I thought with android enterprise you could install apps from the managed google play store?  please let me know if you need any device or version details i will be happy to provide it at your request. thanks in advance!

    Android Enterprise - Lockdown Notifactions

    We use the lockdown mode on 99% of our Android Enterprise devices (mostly Samsung Tab A's like the SM-T295) and part of our lockdown solution is to block the expansion of the notification bar. The problem i have is that if someone gets a text for example, the only notification they get is on the lockscreen when you unlock the device. Once the device is unlocked and on the lockdown mode there is no visual reminder that they have a notification. Is there a way of getting 'badge app icons' to show on the lockdown mode if the user gets a notification? (i.e. a little number 1 appears over the Messages app if they have an unread message)

    Zebra agent update via web console Solved

    Hi guys, In our environment we are using Soti MobiControl 14.4.2.1307 and updated the Android agent via the global settings and Manage Android Agents and Plugins. We are using the Zebra Android Agent. The last few weeks this was working fine. Now we installed a new deployment server in a DMZ so we got two deployment servers. Now if I try to update the Android agent again, there is always an error message shown in the browser. I want to ask if anyone has an idea why this error occurs. I guess it's ehter a temporarily probem with the Soti Update Servers or the new server in the DMZ isn't able to contact the servers above, so the update keeps failing because of the Firewall settings. Any guesses? Thank you for your help. Stefan
