    WIFI is unavalable, try to connect to mobile network?

    Hi. I get the following notification when the WiFi is unavailable and I have a SIM-card on the device. Is it possible to use automatically  mobile network without asking about it? Before the prompt the mobile data appears to be on (the ISP name is shown). The device is Handheld Nautiz X41 and judging by the appearence of the prompt, it comes from MobiControl.

    Script to rename Android Enterprise devices

    I am looking for a way to rename a device with a user specified name.  I would like to prompt the user for the asset number and then use that in the device name.  I got that information with a Java script: var file = new mobicontrol.io.File('/sdcard/asset.txt'); mobicontrol.message.createTextPromptDialog('What is the asset tag number?').withCallback(onOk).show(); function onOk(result) { if (result.inputText != null) { file.writeText(result.inputText); } } But when I try to use that information to rename the device I get an error saying Set isn't a valid command: set myVar=TXT:/sdcard/asset.txt?LN=1 devrename %myVar% Is there a way to either do this all in 1 Java script command?  Or is there a way to set the variable from the legacy script?

    How to add a shared folder from company shared drive??

    Is there a way to add a shared folder to the tablet from a shared drive mapped to the company's server?  Possibly in lockdown mode?  I haven't found a way to successfully do this.  One drive would probably work as a work around??? Android tablet os 11 cloud version 14.1.5.1284

    Inaccurate device date-time detected

    Hi We have approximately EDA51 Honeywell on android enterprise and agent version between 14.4 to 15.1. So far this year we have had 363 'Inaccurate date time detected' of which most had a time reported of 05:18AM 19/3/2020. This is causing timeslot issues as devices are reporting the incorrect time. Is there anything specific about 19/03/2020, why does this keep on happening and how can it be prevented Thanks

    Download Android Debug logs while in single app use

    So far the only way to download a debug log is to send the script request_bug_report , click share on the tablet and download via the SOTI terminal. We use our devices with a lockdown single app use profile. Has anyone overcome the issue of having to click share on the device? I want to be able to do this in the background without disrupting the device while in use as it means down time in our fleet.

    Agent Upgrade Button Not Working

    Good Morning.  I am trying to upgrade the agent on several of our Android Enterprise devices. I have not been able to upgrade using the button. I will select upgrade and upgrade now instead of start on schedule. I will get a message that says "Upgrade Agent Action has been sent to device" The message is a success message. When I go to check the agent version, it remains the same. Is there an extra step I need to do in order to upgrade the agent? Soti Cloud version 14.4.6 Current agent on tablet: 14.1.4.1010 Trying to update to Agent Version 14.5.4.1016  Settings Manager app 15.0.1 requires to have Agent 14.4.7 or higher to use.  I have been able to upgrade it using a profile package. But I need to be able to upgrade one specific device. What is the best way to do this?

    Smart Switch Not Showing Certain Options

    I have a customer who is trying to use Smart Switch to copy over everything including the home screen layout from one tablet to another. For some reason, the likes of Home Screen is not showing as an option, whereas if I try and copy my AE device to my work phone which is not on MobiControl, the home screen displays. What config change do I need to make to allow the likes of the home screen to show in the app? I know there are several options/settings within the Knox Service Plugin, but I've no idea what does what within there?

    Issue after enrolling Samsung Galaxy Xcover 5

    Hi there, I`m facing a issue regarding Samsung Galaxy Xcover 5. I`ve installed an application that monitor the fleet but the users find a way to exit from it and now they have access to google search bar(marked withe the red line) and some apps like google play, google, setting and it`s not ok.  I didn`t find a way to block this security breach. As you may find in the picture below, the term "Cautare" means "Google search bar" and "Inchidere totala" means "Close All". The user should`nt have the possibility to leave the app and see these options(search bar and apps). Agent version: 14.5.5, but I`ve tried even with older agent versions but I`m facing the same issue. OS version it`s Android 11, One UI 3.1. Please let me know what to do in order to block the user to leave the main application. Thank you very much for your support.

    How are content library files stored on a device? Solved

    A customer of ours is querying where pushed (downloaded) files from the content library are stored on the tablet? I presume in some 'non-visible' locker within MobiControl?

    Remote control on Samsung Galaxy Note 9?

    I have deployed Samsung Galaxy Note phones for several years now, starting with Note 4 and now we have a handful of Note 9s in the field (we do equipment delivery, so I don't need the latest and greatest). I've noticed that when I click the Remote Control function in MobiControl's web interface, I can only view a Note 9s screen. I cannot actually interact with the screen as I did on Note 4-8. I can click the Home, Lock, etc. buttons at the bottom of the remote control interface, but anything "on-screen" does not respond to my mouse movements. These phones are geographically distributed, so I can't bring them in-house to make any config updates; only push out new updates from the Mobi console. How can I remote control my Note 9s? Is this just something that I have to give up on Note 9 and newer phones? Agent Version 14.5.5.1023 Android 10 Note 9 SM-N960U

    Is there a way to identify the devices that have a partially installed profile?

    Good Morning. I pushed a very heavy update to our profile that contains our company devices. For the most part, the installation is going well. I have about 9 devices that are showing "Partially Installed" .I'd like to identify those devices to take a look at the configuration and troubleshoot. This profile has over 500 devices, so looking through each device is not efficient.  Do SOTI have a feature or script to ping the partially installed devices?
