    Black screen during remote control

    Hello, I have a problem with remote control on samsung tab a7 SM-T505 tablets. Most of the devices I have a black screen after turning on the remote control, there are also the same devices where the remote control works fine. What could be the cause? Agent / device restart not working.

    part of IP as custom attribute

    Hi, for our shops we have to set a shop-specific URL and since I don't like to do it for every single shop (90 shops) I was hoping it would be possible to retrieve a part of the ip-address of the device which can be used as part of the url. The second part of the ip-address always stands for the shop number. IP= 10.1.2.251   => SHOP 1 For example =>.  http://soti-XXX/login the XXX should be the second part of the ip-address the android devices are receiving. For example:   IP device: 10.1.1.1. => URL should be http://soti-001/login (always 3 figures, since shopnumbers go from 1 till 99) Is there a simple solution to have this done, with custom attributes and scripting maybe ?

    File synchronization failed - why? Solved Locked

    Hi All, I have created a file sync rule which copies a file TO the root of the device. But I keep getting the error: File Synchronization failed ... Device File = %sdcard%\url.CapMgmtServer File = \\ServerName\folder1\folder2\url.CapMgmt I'm completely new to this software. What could be wrong? File is accessible, but can't be delivered to the device. I've also noted that in the logs says %%sdcard%% (see DS log below) DS log says: 2021-03-25 09:43:01,724 (0x00000364) [ERROR] [ 14] Comm.Client.1 [354401112252426]: SendFileAsync(%%sdcard%%\url.CapMgmt): Device reported error PackageFileIoError2021-03-25 09:43:01,724 (0x00000364) [ERROR] startTransfer: File transfer error reported from device.

    How can I black list device setting and only enable the Bluetooth settings. I can blacklist device settings and use the setting manager to manage the bluetooth. but when it comes to pairing the pairing code is not getting prompt.

    Removing profile restrictions Solved

    I'm a little new to this so I'm sure this will be obvious to some. We have a very simple profile, disable factory reset, and disable managed app uninstall. We have a issue with one of our devices in the field and we need to remove the restriction of the disable managed app uninstall. Am I better off 1. Clone the profile, rename with the restriction removed and un-assign the first profile to the device and assign the new profile to the device? 2. In the assign part, uncheck the device. Any help would be appreciated.

    MobiControl - Android - Change host file / push file to system partition

    Hello all, I got an interesting question from one of my customers. He has Android devices enrolled in MobiControl with Androd Enterprise as Work Managed Devices. He wants to change the host file on the device. The location is /system/etc and the file is named hosts. You are able to get this file with the following adb command: adb pull /system/etc/hosts destination-path. If I want to push the edited file back via adb, you need root on the device. If I want to push the edited file via SOTI Package, it seems that the file never get copied to the device but the profile and package is shown installed in the MobiControl console. Does anyone have experience in this topic? Am I able to push a file via SOTI Package to the system folder? Do I need root rights? Is it possible to get root for SOTI? Would you recommend it? Thank you in advance. - Felix

    Trying to use the Remote View displays a system dialog on Android 10 devices.

    We have a few Android 10 devices (Motorola Moto G8 Power) and trying to use the Remote View resulted in the device displaying an "Exposing sensitive info during casting/recording... Cancel/Start now" confirmation dialog which is a new feature in Android 10 as discussed on Google support forum: https://support.google.com/android/thread/13791498?hl=en We've found a workaround by applying an ADB command via USB debugging, found e.g. on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63039084/android-stop-permission-promt-for-screen-recording For MobiControl it's: adb shell appops set net.soti.mobicontrol.androidwork PROJECT_MEDIA allow I'd be happy to hear about more elegant solutions than enabling Developer more and USB Debugging on each device and applying this manually device by device. I haven't installed any device specific plug-ins. (As found at https://docs.soti.net/mobicontrolagentdownloads/) I see there's a "Lenovo ARM" one which probably would be the right one. The devices are in Android Enterprise mode and will run a kiosk mode once delivered to end users.
