    Soti Surf and camera question

    Hello, I have a small issue with the camera function in SOTI Surf. As shown in the picture below, every time the camera function is used, i got to choose an action between Camera and Files. This is a little bit annoying to always click "camera" before the camera is activated.  So my question is, how can i set the camera as the "default action", and not receive this option every time the camera will be used?

    Soti Surf browser vs Chrome unwanted barcode-pre-scan action

    Hello,  We have a problem related to some pre-scan-action which ends with an unwanted html page reload in Soti Surf browser but works (the action is not performed) in Google Chrome. We use some web application which is used for a pallete scanning purposes (like WMS). The app officially supports Chrome, Firfox, maybe others but Surf is not mentioned there. When a barcode is going to be scanned with device, just before the code is send to the html form a Page re/load action is performed so the code is filled to a wrong form fields then. We have checked the device settings for a prefixes, sufixes, data formating etc.. but the main catch (and reason why am I asking here) is it works in Chrome (which cannot be easily lockdowned as Surf).  So the question of mine could be: Do you know if in Soti Surf / MC settings lockdown etc.. is somehow related to this behavior or so? I am aware this is a large topic where could the issue be - THIA for any clue I cab focus on..versions:MC: 15.3.0.6713Agents: 14.5.1.1074Soti Surf browse: 15.3.10Devices Zebra MC3300 Android 10 Thanks & Regards Tomas PS the app logs show something like this: 8:27:31:59 Page Load Action Handler {"key":"","element":"","elementId":"","elementIcon":"","action":"onload:function","attr":"OnLoad","initHandler":"","responseHandler":"","failureHandler":""}

    Custom attribute not working in SOTI surf URL Solved Locked

    Hi all, I'm trying to set a dynamic URL in SOTI surf through a custom attribute. Creating a custom attribute "WachtZaal" in the device settings page, type "Text" + option "send to device". On the device, I fill in the custom attribute with a value. In SOTI SURF, I configure the URL with the custom attribute: device_id=CustomAttr:WachtZaal&token When launching the SOTI SURF app on the device I get the warning: kiosk device CUSTOMATTR:WACHTZAAL not configured wich means the program can't find a device called CUSTOMATTR:WACHTZAAL in his configuration. So it seems that the custom attribute is not being replaced with its configured value. Any advice? Device is a ZEBRA CC6000 with Android 8.1.0 / Agent Version 14.5.1

    Soti Surf - auto tab / continue typing

    We are migrating from wince devices to android. And the browser we are using in the wince device is behaving different comparing to soti surf. In the webpage there are multiple input txt lines. The end user has to fill this in with nrs.In the win ce browser: the user types and when the field is full of characters the cursor moves to the next field and the user can keep typing.In Soti surf: the user types and when the field is full he can't type anymore and has to select or tab to the next field.Is there a way to configure soti surf so that the user does not have to manualy tab or select the next field? The page consists of a lot of input fields and it would add a lot of extra work for the end users.

    Soti Surf - Local HTML

    Due to various reasons we need to be able to acces a local html page that contains javascript on our devices.However I can't seem to add file:/// or file:// in the soti surf config. it only allows http and https.I know its a strange setup working with local html pages but the local html page passes a unique identifier to the real urls that are used by the users. So I can't make the .html accessible with a webserver because there is a minor difference in the .html for each device.So is it possible to access a local .html file using soti surf? And if not, is it possible using another browser that is in a sort of kiosk mode? We are using the android lockdown to lock down our devices.

    Whitelist Google URL Redirects

    Hi, We are trying to publish Google Sites using Soti Surf on a couple of locked down devices. sites.google.com is already whitelisted. Everything works well except when accessing external links on the sites pages. Google Sites replaces the direct links with Google redirect links that starts with "https://www.google.com/url?q=". For testing purposes, www.google.com has also been whitelisted. Clicking on external links with the Google redirect links give the "access denied" error message. However, doing a long press on the links and choosing "open in new tab" works perfectly. What else should be whitelisted to allow opening of links with Google URL redirects in this scenario? Regards, D.

    Pull to refresh disable on iPad

    On Android you can send a script "sendinfo net.soti.action.surf DISABLEPULLTOREFRESH 1" to disable this feature. But is there a way to disable this on iOS as well? We have several iPads with a link to an external site, where the site logs out the user if they scroll down.

    Anyway to Disable the Bottom Bar in SOTI Surf

    Hello, I was wanting to know if it's possible to disable the bottom bar only in the SOTI Surf browser version 15.3.1.7. Our end users keep hitting the back button on accident when trying to click a webpage button in the bottom left hand corner. So I was hoping there is away to either disable the bottom bar or even just the back button to prevent this from happening. I have tried using kiosk mode, but this makes it impossible for our end users to switch tabs. We are running MobiControl version 15.3. Thanks, John

    is it possible to clear the Soti Surf Cache ?

    is it possible to clear the Soti Surf Cache into the Kiosk mode over a button ? We have an Zebra TC72 scan gun with a 8.1.0 Androit OS. I read that the script : sendinfo net.soti.action.surf clearcache will help for this, but it don't work into the Kiosk Mode. I can run the command over a rule and it works without any problems, But I need a button so the production employees can reset the cache by themself. Regards Leahcim
