I have a site that most of their url's have url.com:portnumber/restofurl. I can add these to the surf config as either a single webpage or catalog of web pages. However if I try to call those web url's from the lock screen as one of the browser launch methods it does not appear to pass the url over to surf or the browser or webview. Before I open the ticket with SOTI Support I wanted to make sure that someone else had not seen this issue yet. Thanks in advance.
Hi i am just now to Soti and i am working on the setup for my phones. I am looking to Lock a browser down to a white list of approved sites but still retain the ability to store passwords for Websites. I can save passwords in Chrome but i cant fine a way to set a White List, only seem to be able to run a black list. In Soti Surf i can run a whitelist but i can not save passwords for a website. Does anyone have any idead how i could achieve this?
The usecase: A customer of ours uses truckscales/weighbridges. The weight is being shown on a specific URL, one for each scale/bridge. Truck drivers are using Zebra TC57 devices under our control, using a lockdown and SOTI Surf installed. This customer does not want their truck drivers to freely use a browser. They also don't want 135 different accessible URL's on some kind of landing page, truck drivers could choose the wrong truckscale and report the wrong weight. Ideally they want their truck driver to scan a NFC tag on a truckscale which leads them to that one specific page, in SOTI Surf (not Chrome). This should be possible by using an intent and encoding that into the NFC tags, right? Basically telling the Zebra TC57 to open SOTI Surf and to surf towards a specific url. Browsing through these forums, I found two possibilities but neither seems to work: intent:https://mobicoach.eu#Intent;action=Intent.ACTION_VIEW;component=net.soti.surf/net.soti.surf.ui.activities.SplashActintent:https://mobicoach.eu#Intent;scheme=https;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;component=net.soti.surf;end Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Good day, I have picked up an issue where we have around 15 apps being installed from the Managed Google Play store. All apps are set to mandatory and the devices are Enterprise. All the apps install apart from Soti Surf. So far it has only occurred on 2 devices out of over 100. This brings me to ask, if a app is mandatory and does not install, is there a script to install it, or is the only way to go out of kiosk mode and manually install it from the app catalog? Regards,
I wanted to see if there was a way to disable the drag refresh option for SOTI surf. We are currently using the browser as this is easy to configure site restrictions but the functionality has been an issue for some folks and we wanted to look into any other means of customization. Additionally is there any plans on other color options?

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
Hi! Is it possible to run SOTI Surf in Incognito mode and always reopen every session once the app is put in background on a device?
Hi all, We are testing Honeywell CT60 scanners with proxy auto-config settings where we specified the PAC URL and set it as DHCP. When using Chrome in lockdown we can access the whitelisted URL's and it works as expected. But when using Soti Surf it gives us a white screen and after 10 seconds a time-out. Can Soti Surf work with the proxy auto-config? Are there extra configurations we need to push? The current server version is v14.2.1.4394

Hi, We're have this issue occurring on a Honeywell CT60, its running in lockdown mode with Soti Surf 14.4 as the only accessible application. Whenever its placed into a dock or removed from it Soti Surf reloads and then the soft keyboard starts appearing over top of text inputs. The only way to get it to function normally where the text input moves up when the soft keyboard opens is to close then reopen Soti Surf. I've updated Soti Surf and the devices firmware but this issue still occurs, and I cant see any settings for Soti Surf or the device that would cause this. I'm not to sure if this is an Android thing or a Soti Surf issue, as this problem does not occur when using Chromium. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Matt
