    Open iOS WebClips in Google Chrome

    Hello there We have some webapplications which are only working 100% in Google Chrome, we want to use these on a iPad by a web clip. I've fond the url command "googlechrome://" to start in Chrome, but SOTI tells me that the string is not well formated. Is there any way to achieve this? Best Regards Beni

    Revert back to default wallpaper -Zebra TC75 devices (android plus)

    Hi All, Is there a way using script to remove wallpaper file ? Ideally we don't want to unlock devices and manually revert back to default wallpaper. The devices are TC75's on LL and enrolled with Android Plus . We are running 15.1 version of Mobicontrol.  I have tried the below scripts however it almost seems as a system protected file "permission denied"  del "/data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper" del "/data/system/users/0/*.*" Kind Regards  Walid

    Velocity Browser automatically removed from devices Solved

    Good Day,  On our VC80x Zebra devices the velocity browser is automatically uninstalled,  At first I thought this happened as I hanged the application from Mandatory to Suggested in the App Catalogue as all my devices was affected,  Then I removed the catalogue completely and assigned the application via a SOTI Profile, but still it gets removed randomly from some devices and this is totally random and may happen to 1 or 2 devices then for 5 hours nothing and then all of a sudden a few devices again.  I get this error in SOTI:  Error message received from device (Package [com.wavelink.velocity] does not contain default activity) when the app gets uninstalled, The fix is to force the package to be installed again   I am lost and have no idea what else to do, I removed all my configs from the devices and just left the Application Profile & Package.

    How to Open Android Settings to Unknown Source

    There is an application which developer does not provide updated apk to us and even not publish it on Google Player. This app updates itself by download a new apk where the end user click on notify to install. Up to Android 8 it has worked fine, because we could set allowance to install from unknown source to all apk. The current Android request permission individually and all the time it is reinstalled, it looses its "unknown sources" permission. The devices are Android A10S running enterprise agent 14.4.4.1051 on a lock/kiosk screen. I have tried to work around by grant permission using afw commands as: enable_system_app app name afw_set_permission_grant_state app_name android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES allowafw_set_permission_grant_state app_name android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES allow afw_set_permission_grant_state app_name android.permission.RESTART_PACKAGES allow  Unfortunately, this scripts does grant the required permission. As the app open shortly the screen for granting permission and kiosk locks it back, I have tried to include the setting screen in the kiosk. I run identify command to grab the intent, but it looks as missing the fragment to properly open it. com.android.settings/.SubSettings I have seen some posts that uses such kind of solution I have tried, but added by the fragment as com.android.settings/.Settings$OverlaySettingsActivity Is there a list of fragments as including OverlaySettingsActivity which we may look to each one is the fragmented responsible for Unknown Sources ?

    Hello, has anyone problems with FileSync Rules after Upgrading to MC 15.3 ? I have already in two installations the issue that the AE Agent goes immediately offline if there is a filesync rule targeting the device. The FileSync Rule was already existing and working in MC 15.2.4 (transfering OSUpdates to Zebra Android Devices) Agent Versions tested: 14.4.3 and 14.4.4Devices: Zebra WT6000 (Android 7.1) and Zebra MC33 (Android 8.1) Devices connects with Server and immediatly closes the connection, and this is all couple of seconds. As soon as the FileSync Rule is disabled, the device agent connects and stays connected. greetingsMartin

    Soti Device messages

    I do not believe there is a way at this time but I would like to see if we would be able to customize some of the settings when it comes to sending messages via SOTI. I have seen issues with a back log of device messages when the users are sending messages to devices as they are always using the "Until user presses OK" option.  I would like to restrict some of those choices without loosing the ability to send messages. Additionally If I could restrict the "Queue message for delivery to offline devices" While I understand that this is solely user driven it would be a great help.

    Display Timeout occuring randomly

    Hello, Our set up - Mobicontrol Enterprise, Agent Version: 14.4.4.1051, on Android OS for Galaxy A10e, A11, and A21. Issue: Display Timesout randomly. At the time of the screen display going unresponsive and goes black, mobicontrol's logs report device disconnected and then return connection once unlocked. Please note the phone locks when the screen times out during use of SOTI Surf, Email (Outlook), or any application. I've worked with the SOTI support team on this error since May. I have not found a resolution to this issue and it has affected every phone in production.Some fixes attempted: Go to group details - connection settings - set to max retry connection to 3600 s. Go to Authentication profile - select authetication policy - select user password policy - select maximum screen timeout to 99 Minutes Adjust mobicontrol settings manager to never. We've tried implementing all of these fixes in our current server and non of them have been reported as a working solution since the timeout error continues to occur. Please help as soon as possible. This is negatively affecting our employees. Thank you, Zahra
