    SOTI Surf refreshes when docking or undocking

    Hi, we are using SOTI Surf with Zebra ET45 Tablets in our production environment where we are running a SAP application inside the SOTI Surf. When you Dock the tablet the Website refreshes and terminates the login. Is there any setting related to this? I think it might have something to do with the zoom and that the browser wants to fit the new screen that is connected to the docking station. Love to hear your thoughts best regards Manuel

    Disabling system keyboard in Surf Solved

    I have Soti Surf v. 15.6.0.7-001 and a Zebra device on which a DataWedge profile associated to Surf is created. The web page reads barcodes using the barcode scanner. I only want to use the barcode scanner. Now I get a system keyboard every time I read a code, which I don't need. Is there any way to override this in the Surf settings? Just to add, there are other applications on the device where I need the keyboard, so I can't disable it completely. I would only need to disable it within Surf, and ideally only on one particular web portal - if at some point in the future there is a catalogue of multiple sites and the keyboard is needed on the others. Any idea how to achieve this?

    Interesting Soti Surf Error Solved

    We have Soti Surf setup to be deployed to devices through Profiles. I was testing Zebra OTA updates managed through SOTi, and I have come across a strange behavior. After created the necessary App Polices, SOTi Surf now displays an error message saying that it has not been configured. We have no Policies setup for SOTi surf, so I am not sure what is causing this. I did open a support case but wanted to see if anyone else has come across this. Thanks!

    Need a locked down way of browsing to a website which also allows the camera to be used. Solved

    I have successfully configured and gotten the needed url to work in chrome using: intent: myurl.dev.odoo.com#Intent;scheme=https;package=com.android.chrome;end and/or browser:// myurl.dev.odoo.com (also needed to define chrome as an allowed app with Launch://com.android.chrome) BUT: It does not work in SOTI browser as the link requires camera access and SOTI browser sends the allow camera message to the background. Using the above solutions, users have Chrome with full access to the internet, very much not wanted. Is there anyway at all to get browser launched camera permission to work in SOTI browser? The solutions at the start were the work arounds that I found discussed in the forums. Failing that, how to: 1) hide the chrome button in the SOTI Browser app allow list? 2) manage chrome to create an allow list?

    Soti Surf: Can´t search in URL box

    Hey guys,  when using the Soti Surf in our lockdown profile on Samsung devices, I cannot search words over new URL in Soti surf URL-box. I can click "search" on the keyboard but it does not search. It appears to be a Android 14 problem, as android 13 is working properly.  Is anyone facing the same issue or knows how to solve it? Many thanks in advance!

    HTML files not open automatically after the file is downloaded. Solved

    From the sales department, daily reports are sent to 120 stores that can view the PDF files via a Samsung TAB 7 and SOTI surf.These files are offered on the tab via an app (Kega) and if a file is clicked on, it opens automatically immediately after downloading. Now we also want to start using HTML files and also have them open automatically after the file is downloaded. But when the tablet is in User mode this does not work.If I put the tablet in Admin modes, it does open the HTML file immediately after downloading? So it looks like a permissions problem because it does work under admin mode.Where can I set these permissions correctly Soti mobicontrol  Version: 15.6.5.1018
