    Greetings, i'm struggling to get the following devices: -Honeywell CT40, 50, 60 -Zebra TC57, 77 to pair with: -Honeywell 86801 -Zebra RS6000 If the Computer devices are not enrolled they pair perfectly with a NFC bump but as soon as enrolled with SOTI they do not pair.

    Lockdown - status bar without activity suppression

    We have activated Activity Suppression lockdown so that the status bar can be shown on screen. However we have found that doing this causes the Wi-Fi Settings option we have set up no longer works as the page immediately closes: launch://com.android.settings/com.android.settings.wifi.WifiSettings We're not able to use the Wi-Fi settings app to set Wi-Fi due to the issues here: https://discussions.soti.net/thread/android-enterprise-lockdown-wi-fi-scan-does-not-work/ Is there any way to display the status bar without activity suppression or is there a way to allow this settings page to remain open with activity suppression enabled?

    Lockdown - connect to public Wi-Fi Solved

    We are using Android Enterprise and locking down the phones to a lock screen with one app and a button to the Wi-Fi settings. How would a user go about connecting to a public Wi-Fi that requires a log in screen in browser? Is there any workaround to allow access to just that page when needed? I've not tested yet but assume this page would just fail to open.

    Is there a way to control the version of agent downloaded for Android Enterprise? Solved

    Hi,  We've just started producing device in Android Enterprise rather than Android Plus and I've noticed that the device downloads the latest released agent.  Is there a way to control the version downloaded?  I've tried changing the agent download to be from the server rather than google play in the add device rule but it still downloaded the latest version.

    Unable Factory Reset Android Enterprise Devices

    We have recently found that we are unable to factory reset any devices enrolled within our Android Enterprise enrollment if they offline within Mobicontrol and have an unknown password / passcode set. Prior to the introduction of AE we were able to get the devices password / passcode incorrect a set number of times before it initiated a factory reset of the device. We have the same configuration set within our device profiles, but after the set number of incorrect passwords / passcodes are entered its simply loops round to locking us out for say 30 seconds and then requests for the password / passcode again. Has anyone else experienced this? We've logged it with our support partner but they have advised its the agent version installed on the phones, this affects every single device we have enrolled within AE (variety of agent versions) and we can only factory reset the device IF its online within our MobiControl portal? We have "Disabled Factory" reset within the feature control for all devices, which was also present prior to AE and we also have "Maximum number of failed password attempts before device wipe" set to 8, which was also the same prior to AE. Please help guys.

    Lock screen notifications - Android Enterprise Lockdown - Android 9

    Hi Team, First time poster here, although I've been floating around the forums benefiting from the shared wisdom posted here for the last few months. I've run into a dead end with this particular issue, and i'm hoping i can get some advice on how to proceed. We've run into an issue recently that seems to only affect Android 9 devices on the Android Enterprise configuration.  The lock screen (when you first unlock the phone before swiping to unlock, or entering a PIN etc) doesn't seem to display notifications of any kind We've noticed that when the device is in lockdown mode, we can't see any notifications at all on the lock screen, in fact in order to see the notifications, we need to enter administrator mode, or send the "lockdown off" script via MobiControl.  Some of our sites rely on system-generated messages sent to mobiles to give the staff instructions on where to check, and which routes to take etc. When i take a look into the settings of the device, i can see that under the lock screen portion, the Notifications button is set to disabled, and is greyed out i.e. cannot be adjusted.  Again, as this only affects Android 9 devices on Android Enterprise, i'm baffled at what i can do to resolve this. ! Some points on our configuration ! #: Lockdown config: Activity Suppression enabled. Disable Status Bar Expansion Enabled. Using Device Control. #: Feature Control: Redact Notifications is not ticked. Disable all notifications is not ticked. Disable all system UI is ticked, although this didn't seem to have any effect on this problem either way. #: We use the MobiControl Stage Programmer app with NFC for smartphones, and the QR Code for tablets. #: Android Plus covers 80% of our fleet, with 20% of Enterprise devices distributed in the last 3 months. #: I've configured the devices to land in a blank folder with no payloads, and once they are enrolled and ready, i'll manually drag the device into a folder with a profile targeted to said folder, which will push the profile/payloads. #: We use the J5 Pro (Android 8.1), Galaxy A20 (9.0) and the Galaxy Tab a 2017 (8.1). If the guard misses a message, this can be a massive compliance issue, so unless the guard keeps their device open on the SMS app, there's a good chance they'll miss it. Has anyone else run into this issue before? Any assistance of advice provided would be sincerely appreciated. Thanking you in advance, Joell

    cannot install package by using self service option untill checkin

    Question Is it possible to install package immdiately when an user tap install button on the devices?How can we install private apps by user timing? Procedure 1.Enroll device as AE2.Apply a profile which has package as self service to a device group3.Tap Mobicontrol Agent on device lockdown screen,and open profile status4.Tap install button 5.It becomes pending status and not completed by next checkin Comment 1.We changed checkin schedule from 1/24hours to 1/30minutes temporary,but we don't want to do this treatment nexttime because it increases server load.We want to know why it isn't started to install package immediately after device manipulation untill checkin. 2.It is impossible to use App Catalog Rules for private app because our customer has not Gsuit Accoount,and,App Catalog also needs to checkin for installation and takes 2 or 3 days untill delivery apps. Alternative 1.Using FileSync for distribution app and embedding installing script on lockdown. <Server information>================================================-MC version:13.4.0.5276-server environment:SaaS================================================<Device information>================================================-Agent version: 13.6.0.1662, etc.-For Android A + or AE: AE
