Hi I'm trying to disable Wi-Fi on a Zebra TC77 (Device owner) with this script setradioenable wifi 0. It works, however it also disconnects the MobilControl agent and the cellular connection which I'm trying to use. And this makes it impossible to re-connect when the device is i another Country. The same script setradioenable wifi 0 sent to a TC75 (Device admin) gives me the wanted result and I still have connection to the device in MobiControl, so that I'm able to enable Wi-Fi again if needed. I did try to switch the sim cards between the devices without any luck. MobiControl version: 14.3.4 TC77 OEM 01-21-18.00-OG-U00-STD TC75 OEM 02-10-02-LG-00-A So I'm wondering if I'm doing it all wrong here ? Best regards Allan
I have a profile that includes a Feature-Control setting to enable Data Roaming. I have devices picking up this profile, however when I go into the Android settings I can see that roaming is still disabled. Is there another setting that needs to be changed somewhere?
We have a device that is connected back to Mobicontrol over cellular while roaming. The device does not seem to be picking up the latest profile version? I have a device on Wi-Fi that has updated to the latest profile. Is there a setting somewhere for choosing over what connections the profile will update?
We are locking down Android Enterprise phones to a few onscreen buttons. One is for action://CONFIGURE_WIFI We are finding that we are able to get to the settings and manually enter Wi-Fi name, but the scan does not work. Is there another corresponding setting that needs to be configured to allow the scan to work? EDIT: The actual cause of this is that the Wi-Fi scan does not work if location is disabled. Not sure why this is related but have been able to confirm this by testing.
Hello, Someone know how to setup the sync frequency Gmail for Exchange in Android Enterprise mode. Gmail work well, all settings for the server are ok, but the sync frequency for fetch the new email is 30 minutes by default. I what the push mode/auto, not 30 minutes. Thank you
Hello, how exactly would you realise somewhat of version control in android enterprise for things like agent updates and app updates (public). And how exactly is the agent update and app update handled by the managed google play store? What are the criteria that must be met in order of the play store to update the app / agent. ( i know you can manage app updates ) But that arent many options to choose from, we´d like to somewhat test new app and agent updates before they are silently pushed and installed on all the ae devices. What is your approach to this and what am i maybe missing? Thanks in advance. Kind regards John
Hello all My first post. I want to pair BT headset though NFC pad on terminals with a kiosk lockdown and the 3 notifications - Confirmation of pairing on terminal - Validation of association - access to calls history and contacts aren't displayed Is there a way to permit theses notifications to be display or that bluetooth pairing is done without confirmation ? If someone could help me :) Regards
With Android Enterprise Device Owner enrollment you can end up in a situation where a number of system applications are disabled by default. There are enrollment Extras that you can include in a NFC chip or custom QR code to leave all system apps enabled but if they device has already been enrolled is appears that you have to use the enable_system_app script in order to re-enable the apps individually. Is there an alternative to individually re-enabling system apps such as using a wild card? eg: enable_system_app * enable_system_app com.zebra.*
I´m working with android enterprise in honeywell devices, such as eda71 and eda51, i enabled the kiosk mode and it is working fine in device owner mode, but i want to disable the status bar expansion because if not, the users can turn off the wifi or change other settings, but i need to see the status bar to check the signal and battery status, in android+ this function it´s shown in lockdown settings, but with enterprise configuration i only see status bar in activity supression. Thanks
Hello everyone, I encounter some issue (as some of you I have seen!) regarding the deployment of an APK on a AEDO device. The profile stay in a "Install Failed" status (Failed to Install (File I/O Error)). On the device I have the following message from the Google Play Protect : If I click on "INSTALL ANYWAY" the app is correctly installed. If I deploy a FC profile with the "Disable verivy apps enforcement" feature : I am able to manually disable the GPP Scan : This is the same thing / result as if I sent the following script on the device : writesecureprofstring DeviceFeature DisableVerifyApps 1apply featurecontrol If I manually disable the "Scan device for security threats" option, I can deploy my APK via my profile without any problems. Also, I am able to install my APK directly on the device from a USB driver for example. Question : Is there a way to disable the "Scan device for security threats" with a script or a trick ? For now, the solution is to blacklist Google Play via an App run control profile. But I use a managed Google Play store and I need Google Play on the device... The complete solution would therefore be : 1/ Deploy App Run Control profile 2/ Deploy APK 3/ Revoke App Run Control profile Quite tedious.... Thank you !
So I can't figure out how to get our app to auto upgrade on kiosk devices. I've got a Google Play store page set up for a private app, and I'm able to issue upgrades through the play store page. Next, I have to go into the mobicontrol cloud and update the application catalog, which isn't ideal, but whatever, I can deal with that, but after updating the application catalog, none of our devices will download the upgrade. The only way I've been able to get devices to upgrade is to remote control into the device in Admin mode, go into the application catalog in the DPC and upgrade the app. Moreover, there seems to be a bug with this scenario because after I upgrade the app with these steps, when I go to set the device back into User mode, the app will be uninstalled! I then have to re-install the latest app and then I will be able to set the device back into User mode. I've asked a sales engineer that has been helping me out some, but he's not very responsive and hasn't provided any information on how to get the app to auto upgrade. There was a Droidcon Berlin talk just last week I think about setting devices up in kiosk mode and through their own setup they were able to get apps to auto upgrade, plsu they were also able to use the test tracks in the Google Play Store. I've been trying to use the test tracks of the private google play store app for a while but Soti doesn't have any information about that either, and that probably deserves another question, but I know it's doable and getting the app to upgrade should also be possible. Is it possible to get these private apps to auto upgrade without having to log into each one and manually doing it? Thanks,
In Android 10, various privacy restrictions are in place which will prevent apps from retreiving IMEI or serial numbers. I'm just being curious here: Will MobiControl still be able to get data like this? I'm guessing it will, after being given permission by the user, but only because the app will then be given system rights or something? Will the device owner/device administrator role still be applicable?
We've received a number of reports of people losing their email configuration on Android Enterprise enrolled devices. This only seems to be occurring when their password is changed, to resolve the issue we have to revoke the Exchange ActiveSync policy from the device via MobiControl and them install again, which then prompts them to input their email address, username and finally password within the Gmail app. We mainly use Samsung Galaxy A20e devices throughout but there are some legacy devices still in circulation. Any advise to stop this happening will be very useful. Thanks in advanced.
Hi all - newbie to SOTI here. I'm trying to move the apps that are currently packaged and deployed to devices to syncing them with the Application Catalog/Google Play store. I'm doing some testing on our dev instance but doesn't seem to be working. The apps (Google Photos and Inkling) show up in the application catalog within Mobicontrol as an available app on the device but will not install. Is there a setting I'm missing? My SOTI-fu is not strong yet so apologies if I missed a previous post that answered this.
Hello, I'm wondering if there is a good way to query the EMM device details from an Android app in lockdown mode. For example, we would like our Android app, that is launched in lockdown mode, to get the device id, found in the device details in the console, and send it to our backend. I haven't found any good direct way to get this info from our app. The only idea I came up with was to have a script run during enrollment to create a file on the sdcard card with info and then have our app look for and read from this file to get the data stored. I'm not even sure if it's possible to have the script get the device id or device name, or if there are other issues with this process. I also thought I saw that there was a way to broadcast an intent, and maybe we could broadcast the info we want for our app to pickup and parse..? Maybe there is a way for our backend to query the Soti api's and somehow get the info that way? I'm relatively new to Soti and pretty much still in the evaluation stage, so I'm still feeling my way around the features. Any help or pointing me in the way to find the answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sterling
