    Location History Not Working Despite Data Collection Rule

    Recently I noticed the Location History on our Samsung devices stopped working.  It has worked in the past.  We did recently upgrade to Mobicontrol v15.  I have a data collection rule that is set to track location every 5 min.  On the log of the devices it even shows this data is being collected.  However When I attempt to view the location history of a device I get an error that there is no location data present.  Any ideas why? Update...I just noticed that the log shows Location data being collected every 5 min, however on the collected data tab it only shows data from 2 days in the last month.

    Navigation in the "File" app with cursor not possible from the remote control

    From the "Remote Control" module, in the "File" application it is impossible to select a folder or a file with my cursor..Possible workaround with "TAB" + "multidirectional arrow" keys to select the target and "enter" key to select. Do you have a solution to help us correct this problem? Device : ZEBRA TC21OS : 10MC Web Console version: 15.4.1.4828MC agent version: GoogleMobiControl1510_1045

    Delete Versions in Content Library

    When deleting a file in the content library it asks to delete all versions but when deleting it only deletes one version instead of all versions. Is there something stopping this from deleting all or a workaround?

    Open defined URL after clicking OK Button in Messagebox

    I use Android Enterprise Devices (Zebra TC57 + TC27) on MobiControl 15.1. I want to open a defined URL with chrome after clicking the OK button. This script just opens chrome, because i cant find a way to define a URL... var buttonLabels = ['OK'];mobicontrol.message.createInfoDialog('Text for Messagebox').withButtons(buttonLabels[0]).withCallback(onConfirm).show(); function onConfirm(result) {if (result.buttonIndex != null) {mobicontrol.log.info('The OK button was clicked');mobicontrol.app.start('com.android.chrome');}} This old sendintent script works fine but there's no way to put this in a showmessagebox. sendintent -a "https://google.com#Intent;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;end"

    Work Profile on Work Managed Android Enterprise Devices - Question

    Things to note: - Android Enterprise Enrollment - Android Work Managed Profile - Gsuite Emails Was wondering if this possible. We have fleet workers have a phone and we usually have them download the "Google Apps Device Policy" which we have deployed already onto the phone. We use a generic gmail login to setup the phone. There is a limit to how many devices can be using one gmail account. A new device being setup will kick out one of our fleet members and we have them sign into their work emails and authenticate so they can get updates via playstore and use google maps. The issue seems to be on work managed devices doesn't prompt for "Android Device Policy" which is what google is fully transitioning to in January 2021. Is it possible to have both fully work managed device also have a work profile or should all fleet members be switched to "Basic" mobile management for all fleet members. What is the best approach?

    Bluetooth in work profiles

    Hello, I really appreciate if any of you could help me with the following issue. We have a use case for Android Enterprise Work Profile in which we need an app that uses bluetooth in the work profile. The app is deployed sucessfully, but it is not able to scan bluetooth devices. The app works fine if it is install out of the profile. We have tested serveral apps in several devices (Android 8,9,10,11 from different manufactures), indeed I developed  a small app tha only scans devices and shows a list, but the issue is the same with all apps. We have also tested the  BasicManagedProfile app that Google sugests to test apps in work profiles. The problem is the same. https://developer.android.com/work/managed-profiles So the question is: Does the Work Profle allow apps to scan and use bluetooth services? Is this a limitation of work profile? I appreciate your comments.

    SOTI MDM update iPadOS behaviour Solved

    Hi, I would like to know more about using SOTI to deploy mass iPadOS... The iPadOS size is around 5.5GB, it brings concern as we have to update 90 units of iPad in one go... If we are to issue "Update OS" command via SOTI, the following questions come to mind (sorry I cannot test now as I cannot afford to update any of my iPad's OS now): 1) Will SOTI spread the update across a specific time frame to avoid congesting the whole bandwidth? 2) When issuing the command, will it force the iPad to update? Or will it prompt a box and ask for user's consent first? 3) We have set to defer OS update for 90 days, after that period, will iPad be forced to update regardless of its current status? 4) Is there a difference between "scan for OS update" and "update OS"? Thank you for your time.
