    Get access to Synced files from outside

    Hello, I have a use-case where I need to bring back saved pictures on mobile devices from the field and doing some post-processing actions. To do the post-processing, my application server (hosted by my company) needs to get access to the folder on Soti instance where all pic is synced. How can this be done? There is an option where I can tell filesync to store the content outside (like an external FTP server) ? Thankyou a lot for your help

    File I/O Error. Please check permssions - Android Plus Solved Locked

    When I am attempting to update the version of a package in a profile and apply it to an Android phone, I am constantly receiving this error message no matter what I do. It is not a separate package, but simply a newer version of the same package. This error occurs whether or not I have Google Play Protect enabled. I have also tried uninstalling the app completely from the device and the same error still occurs. I am running MC version 15.3 and the devices in question are running Android OS 6 - 10 given the device. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do for determining the root cause of this issue?

    Loudness of Scanner Beep

    Hej, we are using Zebra MC32 (Windows CE7) in our warehouse and changed the App (Velocity CE -> mobisys) for working in this week. Unfortunately the new App has no settings for configurating the loudness of the (positiv) scanner read, so it is at maximum volume - the old app had a setting for that. Normally you can use the Zebra DataWedge for this issue but the scanner is used by a plugin of new app and so the Data Wedge is Idle (disabled). Is there a possibility to change the volume of the scanner beep (normal windows volume wouldn't effect anything). Thank you in advance Cheers Jens

    Location services problem

    Hi there, We are using MobiControl version 15.0.2.1049, with two type of Android devices (Urovo DT50 Android 9 and Honeywell Scanpal EDA50 Android 4.4) and there is a strange issue about location services with both kind of devices. If I login web console as a built-in MobiControl user and request a device location, I got back the location and it appears on Bing Maps. But if I login as an Active Directory user with the same permission and request a location, nothing happens. There is a "Device located" entry in the logs but nothing appears on Bing Maps. Can you give me some idea what happens when I request a device location? What kind of request goes where, what kind of data come back from where, etc.? Thanks for your help!

    Unprocessable Entity error when uploading Packge with Soti API

    I'm writing a python script to automate the process of uploading our packages to SOTI. However, I am having difficulty sending the request to upload an Android APK file. here is my code for reference; file_name = 'com.aviagen.trapping.apk'encoded_file = ''with open(file_name, 'rb') as f: data = f.read() encoded_file = base64.b64encode(data)encoded_file = str(encoded_file, "utf-8")boundary = "mobicontrol_boundary"#part 1 - body parametersbody = f"--{boundary}\r\n"body = body + f"Content-Type: application/vnd.soti.mobicontrol.package.metadata+json\r\n\r\n"body = body + "{ 'DeviceFamily': 'AndroidPlus' }\r\n"#part 2 - file detailsbody = body + f"--{boundary}\r\n"body = body + f"Content-Type: application/vnd.soti.mobicontrol.package\r\n"body = body + f"Content-Type-Encoding: base64\r\n"body = body + "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='com.aviagen.trapping.apk'\r\n"body = body + "\r\n"#part 3 - file contentbody = body + encoded_filebody = body + f"\r\n--{boundary}--\r\n"print(body)body = body.encode('utf-8')request = urllib.request.Request(f'{BASE_URL}/packages', data=body)request.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {token}')request.add_header('Content-Type', 'multipart/related; boundary=mobicontrol_boundary')response = urllib.request.urlopen(request)data = json.loads(response.read())response.close() This is resulting in an error - 422 (Unprocessable Entity).I have checked the file and can confirm that it is a valid signed apk which installs on my device. Is there something wrong  with my request body? I saw a couple other examples of Package uploading, however they all use Powershell and I would very much like to avoid powershell at all costs.

    Android Classic how to grant permission on an Android application ?

    Hello, Actually i'm facing an issue, i have install an application on my Android device but when I try to launch it for the first time it required some right that i need to add manually. I saw some topics that talk about that but it's not really detail : https://discussions.soti.net/tagged/app-permissions/ https://discussions.soti.net/thread/android-permission-script-afw_set_permission_policy/   https://discussions.soti.net/thread/differnt-behaviour-when-installing-with-mxconfig-and-app-permissions/ In this topic they talk about renaming an apk like tellnext.apk to tellnext.apk_ but they don't share us the command line to did that. I'm working on Zebra WT6000 android 7.1.1 lifeguard 19 - Android classic profile Do you know a command line to grant persmissions to access files/microphones/caméra/etc.. ? I saw some command line for android enterprise like that but it doesn't work on android classic : I don't want to enable access manually on each devices. Some have a solution maybe ? Thanks in advance,

    Zebra Android 10 Remote Control

    Hi, We are on MobiControl 15.1.2.1035 and the connected Zebra devices (Android 10) does occationally loose the Remote Control option. We can get the Remote Control option back, by Sending this script to the devices:  retryrcdetection   The goal for me is to avoid having to send this script, as it generates a lot of service desk tickets from end users.
