    How do you apply a background in the lockdown mode?

    Dear community, I've tried to apply a background in the lockdown mode, but It doesn't work for me. The result was that the background applies, but the apps are gone or the background doesn't apply. The code that I use is: <img src = "<MCImg_Momo icon (M).jpg>" /><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head> <title>Dynamic Android Lockdown</title> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <!-- ********************************************************* DO NOT EDIT --ABOVE-- ********************************************************** --> <style> /* BACKGROUND COLOR */ html, body { background-color: #fff;     } /* HEADER BACKGROUND COLOR */ #header { background-color: #0099d3 !important; } /* FOOTER BACKGROUND COLOR */ #footer { background-color: #0099d3 !important; } /* THIN BORDER LINES COLOR */ #app { border-top: 5px solid #666; border-bottom: 5px solid #666; } /* APP TEXT COLOR */ .app-item-title, .customdata-text { color: #333; } </style> <script> // Adding a Background // When configuring your lockdown Home Screen Items, create a new lockdown item with the Display Name named exactly: Background // The package name can be anything (i.e. Custom #) // Specify use custom image, upload and select the image to be used for the background      #Background{ background: "<MCImg_Momo icon (M).jpg>"; } // Changing the logo // When configuring your lockdown Home Screen Items, create a new lockdown menu item with the Display Named exactly: logo // The package name can be anything (i.e. Custom #) // Toggle use custom image, upload and select the image to be used for the logo in the header. If no logo is specified it will use the SOTI logo // Configure your page layout here. If the number of apps goes over what can fit on one page a new page that you can swipe to will be added // Icons will change size to fit the screen. Less columns and rows will result in bigger icons for the apps // Apps per column (MIN:2 - MAX: 5) var columns = 5; // Apps per row (MIN:2 - MAX: 5) var rows = 3; // Flip rows and columns to match screen orientation. If set to true and the layout in this example is configured to be 3x2, when the device is rotated to landscape mode it will orient into a 2x3 layout var flip = true; // To change the app icons please select use custom image when configuring your Home Screen Items and provide the image to be used instead of the default icon // Reserves a section that will show device information/custom messages at the bottom of the page. If set to false will leave more room for the apps var showdata = true; // Size of data section, small = false : large = true. If set to true creates a bigger area on the bottom of the screen for additional text var datasize = false; // Column width: Full width = large | Half width = medium | Third width = small var customMessageWidth = "small"; // Show device IP Address var ip = false; // Show device MAC Address var mac = false; // Show device Serial Number var serialNumber = false; // Custom messages, additional macros, leave empty if not in use var customMessage1 = ""; var customMessage2 = ""; var customMessage3 = ""; var customMessage4 = ""; </script>

    No Toasts in our Application since Agent Upgrade

    Hello together, we upgraded the android agent to version 14.5.5.1023 on our Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro ( Model SM-G715FN ). but now we got the problem, that no Toast Messages will be shown in our App. If we activate the administrator Mode, it works. But in UserMode it does't. The devices are up to date, and with the old agent, it worked. Do you have any ideas, what the reason is? In android we activated all known settings, that could block it. Thanks for your help

    Upgrade 7.1.2 to 8.1 - Remote View only

    Good afternoon, We have several TC56s that are running Android 7.1.2 and we intend on trying to upgrade them to 8.1. I was testing this process by deploying the Zebra provided ZIP files and was successfully able to update these devices. The only problem is after the update Remote View is the only option when attempting to remote into these devices. The remote view does not work and only shows a black screen. What I have attempted so far: 1. Deploying the MobiControl Device Agent detailed in this article below. I get [Failed to Install (File I/O Error)] as an error. Our devices were enrolled as Work Managed Devices as well. https://discussions.soti.net/thread/why-the-device-is-showing-just-the-option-remote-view/ 2. This other article actually closely resembles the issues I am having but I have the device out of any sort of profile that enforces Kiosk or app permissions. https://discussions.soti.net/thread/android-8-remotecontrol 3. I was testing on devices that I had at a nearby location and the only way I have been able to get them to work is by completely deleting the device out of MobiControl and enrolling from scratch. This allows the devices to work on Remote Control properly. The only problem with this method is we have several devices that are states away so having to completely re-enroll all of them would be incredibly difficult. That is why I am posting here to see if there are any other options. Please let me know if you require any more information regarding this issue and I appreciate any sort of assistance I am given in advance. Thank you! James Pike

    Samsung Galaxy A7 lite

    Good Morning,  Our company is in the process of upgrading our employee's devices. The current tablets we use are the Samsung SMT387 & M-T378. We enroll them with Android Plus and push out a profile with Kiosk screen and several packaged APK's for the approved apps.  We recently ordered the Samsung A7 lite devices SM-T227U. These come with Android 11 out of the box. I was able to enroll the device with Android Plus. When I went to push our test profile (Exact clone of Production Profile) the entire profile failed. All my packages failed to install with the message being "Failed to Install (Incompatible Platform)".  Is there something different I will need to do with the enrollment to get these new Android 11 devices to work with our current profile?  MobiControl version: 14.4.6.1047 Agent Version: 14.1.4.1010

    Display "Net.Hostname" in SOTI

    Is there a possibility to display the net.hostname of the devices in SOTI? Via the CMD shell I can read out the name of each device individually with "getprop net.hostname". Or it is possible to read out all devices via script and e.g. to be provided as a text file?
