    How to add icons for .pdf and .mp4 files in Lockdown mode?

    Hi, I have a simple Android Lockdown with one app, one PDF document, and one movie file. The application have it's own icon, but the files are listed only with their names. And I mainly ask, because without icons, the Lockdown items are not alined vertikaly and horizontaly. How can I add some custom images to be used as icons for the PDF and movie file? There is a dropdown menu, but what is the source of the listed icons? And what file format/size the icons have to be?

    Admin Mode

    Hello, I'm having trouble entering admin mode on most of my devices. I have a lock down profile applied and when I go to enter admin mode, MobiControl with just show a prompt that says "Switching to admin mode" and will never exit. The only way I can get out of lock down mode is by sending commands from the web console. However, I would like to be able to do this from the device, because sometimes I need to make changes on the fly and don't always have a computer with me. Has anyone came across this issue before? If so, how did you fix it? I have listed my MobiControl version and device's information below. MobiControl Version: 15.3.0.6713 Device Information Model: Zebra VC80x Operating System: Android 8.0.1 Build: 02-32-04.00-OG-U20-STD (GMS) MobiControl Agent Version: 14.5.4 Build 1016 (Android Enterprise) Plugin Version: 1.6.0.102 Mode: Work Managed Device (Device Owner) MobiControl has all permissions enabled.

    Enabling tethering on Android Mobile Startup

    I've been up and down rabbit holes looking for a solution to this issue. We have Android mobile phones with the Soti application for the drivers to use in our company. The drivers also have an Intermec CK70 device they use to scan barcodes. We are looking to get these "pads", as we call them, to connect with the Android phones via mobile hotspot for transmitting data. We have the devices locked down through SOTI so the drivers have no access to settings configurations. We are in need of some way to have the mobile hotspot ALWAYS on (without rooting the devices) but, it seems once the phone is power cycled the hotspot turns off and stays off by default.

    Device agent compatible with Mobicontrol server

    Hello, I was looking for information about the campatibility of (Android Enterprise) device agent with Mobicontrol servers. I can't find this in the release notes of agents or Mobicontrol. Is this information available? Are newer client always fully compatible with older Mobicontrol servers? F.e.: When I using Mobicontrol v15.1 and want to upgrade to v15.3, is it good pratice to first update the agents on my clients, so that after the Mobicontrol upgrade the device are compatible with the server? Regards, Mark

    How to upgrade a single device to agent 14.4.7?

    Good afternoon, I am wondering if it is possible to upgrade one of my test devices to agent 14.4.7 and how I could go about doing so.  I recently downloaded SOTI's newest APKs for SURF and Settings manager. I deployed it to a single test device with a test profile first in order to ensure the app will function properly before deploying to our 600+ devices. I noticed that the Settings Manager app is giving me a message that says "Update agent. You need MobiControl Agent 14.4.7 or higher to use this feature." I would like to update my agent on my test device so i can make sure the apps and remote capabilites funtion properly.  we are currently on agent 14.1.4.1010.  samsung tab a 2017-2020

    Wildcard for package name? Solved

    I have a conflict that I have a tedious workaround to right now that would like to solve with one action. We have a backlog Android 7 devices and now with the new hardware using Android 9. The difference in the camera app is in the package name org.codeaurora.snapcam vs org.codeaurora.snapcamera. Is there a wildcard optioning for the Launch:// package name that would allow me to use either naming of the camera or is the only option here to have a second profile fully setup with that new camera name? I was also interested in the Script File setup, but have found very little in helpful notes. Would be something interesting to be if apilevel is 24/25, use snapcam; if 28, then use snapcamera?

    Silent Enroll

    We are taking on a ne group of devices which are currently on Airwatch. The customer does not want to do any interaction with thedevice to enroll Mobi. They want to setup a package on Airwatch and then have teh APK auto install and activate all options required. Basically they don't want the device user to have to be involved in anyway, There are 2 parts to this.1. Creating a package on Airwatch that will install the mobi apk (Samsung ELM). I believe the best way for this may be using the .apk and the .ini. We don't currently have access to or any experience with Airwatch so that is probably not a question for here.2. Have the apk launched from Airwatch and then run through the install process. We can't have any questions from either the os or the app. Using the .ini this should eliminate the need to input the enrolment id. We still have to accept all permissions and run though a lit of settings on the device. Is there any way around this so that the apk will install, pickup what it needs from the ini and just run and activate silently? Can anyone help with either part but really part 2. Please and thank you. EDIT: We are using Android Plus classic, not enterprise.
