    Cloud Alert for inaccurate device date-time?

    Hello, Is it possible to generate a cloud alert (or something similar) to a specific email adress, when a device logs: Warning - Inaccurate device date-time detected (Time reported: 6/13/2022 6:36:19 AM) Just like in this topic (https://discussions.soti.net/discussions/how-to-make-zebra-tc26-device-sync-time-regularly), we are experiencing problems with Zebra TC26 devices running on Android 10 and 11. Their date-time settings are being switched from automatic to manual and then slowly running out of sync with the actual date and time, without any real apparent reason. We are discussing the issue with Zebra, it seems hardware or firmware related. In the meantime, an alert to our own support team would greatly help us deal with these issues proactively, instead of having to wait for the end user to complain to us about it. I can't seem to find any setting under Device Events that relates to a device log. We are running MobiControl version 15.5.0.1021, Android Enterprise (device owner) MobiControl agent version 15.1.4.1058 is installed on the devices. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

    High Battery Drain, potential location issue - MobiControl - Android

    Hi, At least a couple of our users are experiencing a sudden increase in battery drain om their Android phones (Samsung A5's). The battery drain appears to be due to MobiControl and potentially linked to it accessing location too readily. The only reason for assuming location is that the location icon is now constantly appearing at the top of their screens and when you look at what is using location mobicontol appears as using it "just now". I've observed mobicontrol being the highest contributor to battery usage at 28% (towards the end of a working day) but the same user stated it was at 90% the day before.We've recently upgraded our environment so I wonder if that's related.Users have rebooted their phones but other than checking everything looked normal on the phone we haven't done any other debugging.Any thoughts?

    How to set the USER DETAILS

    Good afternoon, I'm seeking help to set the USER DETAILS section inside the device details: Each user has its own Office 365 account inside the tablet, or at least the exchange one to download the E-Mails to his own Outlook app.  Would it be possible to use this as a source for the USER DETAILS and make them appear in that section? If yes, how? Thank you, best regards.

    Data upload to icloud

    We have some iPads using Mobicontrol. The profile in use restricts some features and browsing to certain sites, but the users will need to be able to upload data to iCloud from an app. This is not currently working - the data appears in the iCloud settings but does not make it to the cloud storage. Are there any settings I need to look out for? I am using a web content filter, could this be breaking the upload?

    Multiple entries for same IMEI & Serial Number Solved

    On MobiControl console, when I searched for a device using IMEI, I can see 2 devices. When I queried database, it also shows 2 records for same IMEI. Only difference is in DeviceId column value. I've that device & there is no MobiControl installed on it. It is factory reset device which I got from another department.  What possibly wrong could have happened in this case? My understanding was while enrolling device on SOTI, it does check if similar device(by comparing IMEI/Serial Number) is already enrolled or not. Is my understanding correct?

    Using Android Agent JavaScript API in Lockdown? Solved

    Hello, Is it possible to use the Android Agent JavaScript API (https://www.soti.net/mc/help/javascriptapi/en/mobicontrol.os.html) in the lockdown template? If so, do I need to import certain modules? I attempted to use some of the APIs but couldn't get them to work. Device Information Model: Zebra TC21 Mobi Agent: 15.1.5.1049 OS: Android 10 Thanks, John

    Android single app mode

    Is there a configuration that allows for a single app only to run without going through the lockdown launcher? I want a selected to application to run all the time like in a kiosk mode, but without having the user be able to go to a launcher type screen and select an app.  SO far I have been able to make a single app be the only choice to launch from the lockdown screen, but I want to just skip that all together and go straight to the app.   This is for a room scheduler deployment where all we want is for the device to always run the room scheduler app.

    Best practice to deploy O365 apps?

    Our company is looking at using MobiControl without the use of Intune or Azure Endpoint Management. Unsurprisingly O365 apps are required for ~90% of our employees. Given the current suggested method to deploy O365 apps (setup.exe + configuration XML) and a lack of an MSI installer, I was wondering if anyone has found a good method to deploy their O365 apps through Mobicontrol? Since there’s no support for .exe installers, I’ve wrapped it as an MSI and uploaded the installer, but my gut tells me there’s probably a better way that I’ve not thought of/seen yet.

    Fix screen rotation on Android 10 Solved

    Good morning, I need to fix the screen rotation into this device type: Producer: emdoor Android: 10 Enrollment type: Android Enterprise – Work Managed Device Agent version: 15.1.5.1049 MobiControl web instance version: 15.5.0.1021 The aim is to force it to landscape mode and then disable the automatic rotation. I already tried with this script: writesecuresetting -sys hide_rotation_lock_toggle_for_accessibility 1 writesecuresetting -sys accelerometer_rotation 0   But they are working with Android 8, not with Android 10. Into Android 10, which is the OS version installed in the device I need to set, if I send that script it only disables the automatic screen rotation, but it doesn't set it into landscape. It just remain in the position during which the automatico sceen rotation was disabled.   Is there any difference into Android 10 to force the landscape mode, before toggling off the automatic screen rotation?   Thank you, best regards.

    Work Managed view only on remote?

    I have enrolled some Samsung Galaxy A22 5G in a work managed device type but the devices are showing the supported APIs as Remote View 'Work Managed Devices' rather than remote control. Also when you try remote view the device has a popup which says 'Start recording or casting with MobiControl' with options of cancel or start now. How do I disable the notification so remote works without end user intervention.  I am using MobiControlcloud version 15.4.2 and the device is on OS version 11 Thanks
