Hi, currently i am setting WIFI profile for my client, they want their device to connect automatically to their WIFI, but they didn't want to broadcast the SSID. Is there any option in SOTI to connect to SSID even not broadcast? Thanks & regards, Randy Saputra
Hi, Is it possible to change the Network Device Name Of Android Device (Zebra TC21) with Soti Mobicontrol ? this is for the device to be recognized for network printing.
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
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.

Hello, I am testing v15.3 before deploying it in our environment. It appears that the ability to download the mcsetup.ini file no longer exists for Android devices. Any ideas?

Our current version provides an option to download the INI file as part of setting up the Add Device Rule. This option appears to no longer be available. Thanks Jim
Hi! I've added Powerapps application in my lockdown screen however whenever I click on it, it redirects into the Mobicontrol Device Configuration screen. First, I installed it into the device using Application Catalog, same result. Then I installed it using an apk (but I don't really want to use apk in the future), same result. I added the apk to the lockdown profile as a package, still same result. If in ADMIN mode, the app loads fine without issues. Is there any way around this? It seems there's some kind of permission or something that's blocking the app.
I've created an XML layout file to structure a container with apps a certain way. I've identified that the XML conflicts with the Allow App Removal feature within Feature Control. I cannot find documentation to overwrite this restriction/impact within the XML file; this affects apps that are mandatory and suggested from DEP. Has anyone come across this issue? Is there a key value that I can use? I've attempted to set <key>allowAppRemoval</key> as true into the XML, but this didn't work.

Hi, we use an app that stores documents and photos that I'd like to be able to delete using the above script, however, I'd like to schedule it so the script runs daily and deletes and documents/photos older than 30 days. Has anyone done something similar? If so, what script/parameters did you user? All devices are Samsung A50s, in case that is relevant. Thanks
Hello Guys, I have a little problem with Android devices with Oreo and above. I need access to the folder /sdcard/usr/enterprise.

Would be a pleasure if you can solve my problem :)
We are trying to create some tablets that's only for playing a certain video. I added Movie://sourcefolder/filename.mp4 but, it just gives a black screen. Can I ask for some help? Also don't know how to set up a file sync rule in cloud server from server to device. How should i declare the source file? MobiControl Version: 14.4.5.1048 Thanks!
Hi. Having some issues with latest mobicontrol. When I navigate to Rules and Console security i only get a blank page. Nothing showing. Its not a browser issue I think, because I tried on Edge, Chrome and IE with the same results. I can mention, that I did an operation moving deployment server from old to new server. did an upgrade run from 15.1 to 15.3 with all the versions I could download in between. I only got one error after installing 15.3 , and that was an error during post-install operation.... guess starting some services... But after i restarted the server it started OK. But still have issues with rules and console security. any ideas?
