Hi,I wanted to make kiosk mode browser with one page and remove navigation bar (the one with Back, Home, Recent buttons). I managed to remove it with stage now, but now when opening Soti Surf it shows white line where navigation bar was placed. Has anyone encountered this problem and have found a fix or workaround? I want to use soti surf instead of Zebra Enterprise Browser as it would make it easier to configure sites with custom attributes. Zebra CC6000Agent - 14.1.3.1027 Version: 14.3.4.1087
several of our employees have figured out a loophole in our Kiosk. We are trying to have them use Soti Surf as their browser. The loophole is when they go into adobe and select print - they can click on all services and it will open up a google chrome browser window. we have blacklisted com.android.chrome and have also tried the disable script. So far we have not found a solution. i found this solution https://discussions.soti.net/thread/how-to-fully-blacklist-a-browser/ i have tried the manualblacklist and no avail. our devices are ATT and Verizon Tab A's Model: SMT387 android 9 enrolled with android + can anyone provide further advice? if needed i will open a ticket.
Does anyone else ever run into the problem where the browser won't grab a device or folder when attempting to move it? I have run into this on multiple browsers but have never figured out why it happens. Most of the time I can move devices or folders with no issue..... other times, I can't seem to get the devices to move. Thoughts?
1) When making changes to the SOTI Surf configuration at Profile level, the user sees a 'Configuration Updated' message asking them to relaunch the browser. With our current lockdown, this is not possible and we would expect that most users would end up being forced to reboot the device for the changes to take effect. I believe there was a Feature Request created for this under SB-4258, based on feedback that was provided when testing with SOTI Surf 14.2.0 Build 119 2) Custom Attributes. We currently have two potential use cases for SOTI Surf in a production environment, however a limitation of this browser for us is that the browser does not seem to support Custom Attributes (eg: Store Number 0001). Example: http://testurl.com/%CustomAttr:StoreNumber%/%CustomAttr:Language%/ Does SOTI have any plans to enable the use of Custom Attributes within SOTI Surf Configure Home Screen URL? Alternatively, what are our current options for deploying 500 unique URL's via SOTI Surf where each targeted device requires a custom URL to be set as the home page?
Hi, I'm using SOTI V13 with agent 13.5.1 on Samsung devices and I have a URL which is on the Kiosk. When I click on this link the web page is opened but a lot of information are not shown contrary to Samsung browser. How can I change the default browser on SOTI to open all URL set in the lockdown with Samsung browser? Many thanks for your help. BR Farid
Hi I have been trying to put up an item on the kiosk screen which will take to a webpage when clicked. When the icon I clicked I want the user to be able to access the particular web page but when clicked on external links the user should be restricted from going there. I have input a web filter allow- en.wikipedia.org block-* I put up a https:// item on the kiosk, it takes me to wikipedia but it also takes me to other websites when clicked on the links, so I assume webfiles does not work on the https:// item. I then tried using the browsers:// item (browsers://en.wikipedia.org) when I click on the link nothing happens. Not sure I have to do enable chrome or something. I would have used soti surf browser but I am unable to install it on this device.
Hi, We want to be able to erase browser(surf) stored data, from a share devices locked down in KIOSK mode(see screenshot). Specifically the user needs to be able to trigger a 'logout' after end of shift. Devices are enrolled via Android Enterprise(Device Owner). Solution #1:Deploy a script file and run from lockdown with scriptcommand. wipeapplication or kill_application. However both script commands appear unsupported(log displays script command as unsupported). Solution #2:Invoke an action in lockdown items. action://clear_cache...etc. However this only seems to support configuring wifi/pw change: https://discussions.soti.net/thread/are-they-any-other-mobicontrol-actions-possible-to-be-used-from-the-kiosk-mode-lockdown/ How do I go about this?

Hi all, I can't seem to find any option within SOTI Surf 14.1.0 Build 66 to disable and lockdown this functionality, when users are navigating our webpage. Current use case is for a customer experience solution, so we would like to avoid customer zooming in completely on the page and leaving it in that state. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hey Guys, is there a chance to deploy a setting / intent or something else to avoid the "Choose Browser" Message on an Zebra TC Device? We've installed Soti Surf to use a single WEB-App in Kiosk-mode but dont want to use Soti Surf for other URLs or classic webview. for Example: if we start an App and there is an option to show any content online, the device will ask which Browser should be used (Chrome or Soti Surf) Many thanks
Hi All, if you use "http" program path into lockdown, you can launch your page like single page mode (very cool and useful)...but which browser launch the link? Thank You, Best Regards. Filippo
