    trigger Signal Policy and Inactivity Timer

    For testin purposes i've made 2 kind of settings for our mobile terminals Device inactivity, this triggers a script wich kills some applications after a certain time (approx 1,5 hour). I'm aware this is only working when the devices are not attached to a power source. The second settings is a signal policy, to cover this when attached to a powersource (event is-charging) to trigger the same script after the same time.   I'm noticing that (mainly) the Device Inactivity triggers random during the day. Sometimes 2 or 3 times within an half an hour. Sometimes the Signal policy won't start

    Script command or activity idenfity for Task Bar

    Hi all Just wondering whether anyone has found the reported activity for Samsung devices running Android 14 for the Task Bar option? When enrolled via Android Classic, the Task Bar button becomes greyed out and can't be interacted with by the user unless it's in admin mode. I have tried using identify_activity to try and locate what the command is to try and write a script that might work for our admins to send over to the devices in a group as aposed to having to revoke the lockdowns applied but all this is returning is the activity for the settings page being opened and settings sub menu. It will not idenfity me turning the option on or off for the Task Bar. I am not sure if there is any other way. Does anyone have any idea? Agent versions are anything 2025 and above. Thanks

    Zebra Firmware Update Via SOTI MobiControl

    I’m upgrading Zebra devices from Android 13 to Android 14 via SOTI. However, after the upgrade, the devices are factory reset and get unenrolled from SOTI. Is it possible to perform the upgrade without resetting the devices — to upgrade directly without a wipe?

    Can MobiControl Facilitate Enrolling/Unenrolling Applications into Beta Programs in the Google Play Store?

    A few months ago, we manually enrolled majority of our Samsung devices into the Samsara Driver beta program for testing out new features & giving feedback to Samsara. Now that we are the end of the beta period, we are advising the on-site teams to go through all of their phones manually to unenroll the phones from beta program. On each of the phones, they have to go into the Google Play Store on each phone to remove it from the program, same what they had to do for enrollment. In my testing of removing a phone from the beta program, uninstalling and reinstalling did not automatically remove it from the beta program. Does MobiControl, and I guess Android as a whole, allow IT administrators to either enroll or unenroll devices from application beta programs? All of our Android phones are enrolled into MobiControl as Work Managed if that makes a difference.

    Policy configuration takes effect

    I have some questions about the device profile policy and need to consult. In the function control, 4 profiles were created. Now I have found a problem. As long as one of the 4 profiles disables Bluetooth or camera, the device will disable Bluetooth or camera, regardless of the order of pushing policies. In addition, the other 3 policies will not take effect even if Bluetooth or camera is turned on. What is the priority rule for device effectiveness? Why does the new push not overwrite the previous push? Will there be similar logic in other policy configurations?

    App Build Information

    Is there any way that when uploading custom APK into Mobicontol that that it will recoginzed the app version and build number.  That way we can use that for versioning our apps. While testing them.  Otherwise we have to delete the app and policy before we can upload the newer version.  The system only recognizes app version and not build.

    Custom Images

    The Custom Images dropdown in LockDown contains too many files not being used and scrolling through them takes forever.  Some of these need to be removed.   Where else are these images stored? This is for an android+ work managed device hosted on the soti web console.  I cannot find this in new version 2025.1.

    Incomplete Enrollment, Lockdown Password not Accepted, Bricked Device?

    Initial Background: We have a Zebra TC52 that was enrolled and functional but then was physically damaged.  Since it was assumed to be permanently unusable, it was deleted/unenrolled from our Devices in the SOTI Console.  Later the device was examined in more detail and found to be reparable and so we proceeded to do so.  After repair it was found that the device was not un-enrolled properly as it was offline, so the technician performed a local factory reset of the device and attempted to re-enroll via StageNow barcode scan. After this attempt, it appears that the device partially deployed.  It did not appear in the SOTI Console, but Lockdown has been applied on the device.  Many apps did not load or partially loaded, several stating 'Package not Found' when we attempt to run them, and SOTI MobiControl Settings Manager states that it has not been configured.  The biggest problem then is that the Administrator password to exit Lockout was not correctly configured, and use of our actual password, blank, "password", "admin", etc. fail to be accepted.  Our password continues to work on all other enrolled devices, so the problem is isolated to this one unit. The Problem: From the SOTI Console standpoint the Device has not appeared in the list from the new enrollment, and we have Permanent Delete enabled so the original Device is also no longer present, so there is no interface we can leverage to interact with the device from the Console side. From the device standpoint it is in Lockdown, and cannot be taken out of it with a password as it appears no valid password was ever set.  As a result a further factory/enterprise reset from the OS is not possible, as Settings cannot be accessed due to Lockdown restriction.  Likewise USB Debugging to allow ADB access cannot be enabled.  Zebra employs Recovery Protection due to the Android Enterprise account being present, which disables the ability to access ADB or SD card boot options in the Recovery boot.  This account cannot be removed due to Lockout, and I am unaware of any way to bypass Zebra Recovery Protection to initiate a Factory Reset. Do we just have a bricked device at this point, or is there a way allowed by Lockdown and/or Zebra Recovery Protection to force enrollment/un-enrollment/reset?
