    Does anyone have Zebra TC 57 android 8.1 oreo and running SOTI effectively with Kiosk/ lockdown?

    Aloha, I am testing a Zebra TC 57 and spent almost all week on the phone with support trying to get this device to work properly. SOTI support actually did everything for me to ensure it was done correctly. Created the add device rule, then walked me through the rest of the steps to set up this device. Every thing looked great until I tried to make a call, there was no contact in my contacts list. I thought it would have populated through Google since our account is binned. But I just added another Goggle account (same account that is binned) to populate the contact list. Problem solved...nope open the contact list and could not call though the contacts but if I switch to favorite list I am able. Made another call to SOTI and they verified everything is set up correctly, but found on the Kiosk, advanced setting I needed to check off the Activity Suppression. That fixed the contact list problem. But I also had a Blue tooth failed to pair problem. I shared with support I noticed a lot of apps was uninstalled and sure enough we found the Bluetooth paired utility was uninstalled. Support sent a script to reinstall and that seemed to work. Everything looked fine and worked. Excited I made my way to our vehicle to pair the device, dun, dun duuuunnnnnn. Bluetooth was not finding any active blue tooth devices, I decided to reboot the device. And as the device powered up it got stuck on the splash screen. Could not power off, nothing. I pulled the battery and tired to restart it same this stuck on the splash screen. Finally I did a factory reset (thank God that work) and tried to re-enrolled the device and was successful but all the problems still exist. If any one has been successful enrolling their device please share your victory and how you did it. I would like this device to be set up as a Work managed device, Kiosk/Lockdown, including Setting manager and feature Control. If any one has any detailed info on how to enroll that would be awesome!   Mahalo (thank you) in advance

    Open Chrome without Address Bar

    Is there any way to open Chrome without the address bar via a Lockdown screen on Android Enterprise (OS 8.1.0) devices? Our self-service payroll portal will only allow the download of pdf timesheets in Chrome on our Android Enterprise devices (long story, already looked at in Surf by SOTI devs) but we still want to use SOTI Surf for the rest of our URLs. I know the below intent works fine with this url on our devices: intent://randompayrollwebsite.com#Intent;scheme=https;package=com.android.chrome;end The issue we have is that the address bar is shown and engineers have access to other websites using the tabs which we'd rather not have as we use web filters categories in SOTI Surf. I have tested the website using the standard browser (eg. adding https://randompayrollwebsite.com to the lockdown screen) and the SOTI Surf browser and neither of these will open the pdfs via the website. Other pdfs open fine in Surf and we have the Adobe Reader package in our Lockdown profiles. The only solution I can think of is adding a 'Web Filter' profile to block all other websites, but the issue with this solution is that the engineers would then be unable to open URLs in Gmail (as Gmail is now the default Exchange email provider in Android Enterprise and the 'Open Web links in Gmail' option is set by default in the Gmail app). Unless there is a way to unset the 'Open Web links in Gmail' as default via SOTI, but I couldn't see this as an option anywhere? If there is another intent that could help I would love to hear it. Thanking you in advance.

    ADB intents - script commands

    Hi! Is there some way of issuing an adb shell intent command to a device running MobiControl to issue a script on the device? Does MobiControl have an intent receiver? The reason for this is that we have devices with a crashing agent as soon as we exit the lockdown manually, the devices are offline and can't be put online again so we want to be able to send script notify kiosk off to the devices.
