    Lockdown - access admin menu doesn't work

    Hi, Today I enrolled 3 new devices in my SOTI instance - Honeywell CK65 with Android 13, Agent Version 15.1.5.1049 I have configured a lockdown on all of my devices (around 5000). On these three devices (which are the only ones with this combination of model and OS version) I cannot access the admin menu by long-pressing the back button.  I made a long-press, but nothing happened. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Grant access to URL without creating a shortcut in Lockdown

    Hi! We use an Android app (Aims Manager) which launches a browser window for sign-in. When configuring the device with Lockdown mode and adding this app only, the pop-up browser gets blocked unless I add the sign-in URL as a Home Screen Item.  Is there a way to grant access to this sign-in URL without creating a dummy Home Screen Item?

    Lockdown template to launch URL in chrome Solved

    Hi, I want to make a link in the template to allow user to go back to the website (internal) if they use the back button. Chrome is open at the startup and it is working fine (webpage defined as homepage) but when I set a template with a simple link, it open in the internal browser and the page is not working (I think it use Surf). I want that link to open Chrome or switch back to it to allow the webpage to work. I tried the Intend, browsers and other possibilities but those are only for the Custome home page and the link is not working. Enable Single App Mode get me a black screen instead of Chrome. So how to set a Template to open a web page in Chrome and not in Surf? Or how to prevent user to use the back button and be stuck on the template page? Regards, Michel Leclerc

    Remove the recent apps button from lockdown mode. Solved

    Hey all!I would like to remove the "Recents" button while in lockdown. I have figured out up until now that you can do this by running lockdown in "Native" mode, this way the button does get removed. The problem is that I am using an app called "Velocity" in this app there are 2 seperate profiles, and I am using the "intent:" action to open the app with a specific profile For example: ProfileAProfileB #Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;component=com.wavelink.velocity/.te.SplashActivity;S.openProfile=ProfileA;end;#Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;component=com.wavelink.velocity/.te.SplashActivity;S.openProfile=ProfileB;end; This intent works when in Activity suppression mode, but not when in Native mode.The end goal is to have the intent working as intended, and have the recents button removed/disabled.
