    Is it possible to push encryption keys into Android Keystore via SOTI MobiControl?

    Hello, I'm trying to determine whether it's possible to push encryption keys (e.g., AES, RSA) directly into the Android Keystore via SOTI MobiControl, so they can be used by an in-house application developed within our environment.

    Hello Community, We currently have a third party apps installed, which is enabled as "device admin app". In the SOTI JS documentation, there is an explanation and simple example script to deactive this admin app. https://www.soti.net/mc/help/javascriptapi/en/mobicontrol.app.html#.deactivateAdmin mobicontrol.app.deactivateAdmin('com.example'); Unfortunately, I get an error "Custom log (AdminDeactivationError: App deactivation not supported.

    Is there a way to disable notifications for SmartDeviceLink?

    Hi! We're sometimes having issues when connecting Zebra TC57X to car chargers that we get a notification that says: SmartDeviceLink Core Component USBNo installed apps work with this USB accessory. Learn more about this accessory at http://www.smartdevicelink.com. We're also getting messages about "Android Auto is available in this car". We're using this type of charger: https://www.brodit.co.uk/brodit/holders/zebra/tc57/active-holder-with-cigplug-for-zebra-tc57/2106 Is it possible to block these types of pop-ups via Mobicontrol? It's frustrating for our drivers when they get this message blocking the screen when they are in need of Google maps for example. More info:Model: TC57X and sometimes TC57OS: 10-16-10.00-QG-U114-STD-HEL-04 to 10-16-10.00-QG-U142-STD-HEL-04Mobicontrol: 2024.1.2.1046Cars: Iveco and Mercedes trucks Please let me know if you need more information.

    Mobilcontrol settings on TC8000

    We have an issue on some TC8000s of the WIFI dropping and the technician has to put the device in admin mode to reenable the WIFI.  I've installed MobiControl Settings with the idea of adding it to the lock screen to allow the end users to reenable the WIFI themselves.  However when I add a configuration with a profile or XML and try to open MobiControl settings I get "Unfortunatly MobiControl Settings Manager has stopped."

    Android Devices Enrollment in China

    Hello, We have recently received new devices to our site in China and would like to enroll those devices to our SOTI MobiControl. We are having issues as Google playstore is blocked in China. Is there a known way to perform this action on the following model: Unitech EA660 Android 13 We have several Zebra devices enrolled in China using the StageNow app, is there a similar app for other devices?  trying to install the App directly on the Android Phones keeps showing the following error- Uninstalling Application, Your Device is already Configured for Enterprise. This application will be uninstalled and your device will be managed within the Work Profile. we noticed the device seem to have GSM installed so we tried to use the afw#mobicontrol, but it is blocked as expected. Thank you.

    Zero Touch configuration of VPN app Solved

    Hello, we are using a third-party VPN app on our devices and I would like to enroll it with zero touch, meaning that with the installation of app the VPN profile should be installed on Android automatically, too. I tried to tweak the instructions described here: https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v2025.1/en/scriptcmds/reference/configuring_native_VPN_AE.html?hl=native%2Cvpn But I am not able to find the right configuration. Most important is to set the "always-on VPN" option of the VPN profile. When I open the app, the VPN profile is installed automatically, but the always-on VPN option is disabled. Other MDMs, like MobileIron or ManageEngine do have the option to set this flag for a specific app via profiles. For me it would be OK to use writeprivateprofstring, if no other option is available with MobiControl. As less important, but optimal solution would be to install the VPN profile completely without opening the VPN app. This would mean that the script needs to contain the app-id etc. Any ideas?
