    Feature request: enhanced kiosk mode

    By which means can I create a feature request to SOTI? More specifically: we will be managing a few hundred mobile devices, organized in 10+ device groups, each with a specific Kiosk profile.This requires some effort when a new app must be added to the kiosk screen when multiple device groups are affected/involved. Suggestion: the possibility to define a list of kiosk menu items, only displaying items of type 'Launch://' when the package is present on the device.This way, we could configure the kiosk screen only once, and re-use this for all device groups

    hey guys, we have a lot of devices enrolled in android plus. we use a kiosk (lockdown screen) to display approved apps, including email. my question is, is there a way for the user to protect his device with a pin code or pattern lock with soti? if so, in the event of the employee leaving the company and returning the device, is there a way for me to bypass or remove the pin through SOTI MobiControl? Thanks in advance!

    Lockdown closes open app and refreshes lockdown homescreen when network connection changes (Android 8) Solved

    Hi, We are having an issue where our Samsung Galaxy Tab A users are on the field and when they change between store wifi and mobile data (and vice versa), they're being chucked back to the Lockdown screen and it starts refreshing. This happens every time and has been confirmed on all devices including the test one I am using. We are running Android 8.1 and MobiControl 13.6.0 Build 1476. Is there a way we can stop it doing this refresh when they change network connections? Any help will be much appreciated! Kind Regards, Josh

    Best practice for stolen devices

    Hi everyone, We are using SOTI MobiControl Cloud to manage our Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 devices running on Android 7. Earlier this week we got word that one of users had his tablet stolen (the first in over 2 years of our tablet rollout project). Until now we had not set up any profiles or rules to deal with such an occurrence, therefore it is something I am currently looking into now.  I've done some research and the best I can see is Out of Contact profiles can be set to delete the device when it has not communicated with SOTI in a certain time frame. Unfortunately I am not able to push this policy out to all of our devices as devices can be out of contact for different time frames due to the rotation/shifts of our users.  My idea was to create a "Lost and Stolen" folder and then apply an Out of Contact rule which runs a wipe command or several scripts that will turn off wifi/bt/radios, uninstall specific apps, delete certain folders eg pictures/videos, and force the device to restart every 10 mins or so.... in other words basically be unusable for the thief. I would drag stolen devices into this folder as soon as it is reported to us in the IT department. My questions are: 1) What is the best practice for stolen or lost devices?  2) If I have an Out of Contact rule that executes a wipe script, will it do a complete factory reset or will the device still be enrolled and managed by SOTI after the wipe? I don't want to do a factory reset as this would make it even better for the thief to use it.  3) Would running several scripts that causes a nuisance for the thief by periodically rebooting, turning off wifi/bt/radios, etc the device be a better option? I want to brick the device so it can't be used again or at least make it very hard for your average Joe to utilise.  Any assistance on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Max execution time limit for v13.4+ Android scripts, esp those referenced in v14.3.0+ "scheduled script" profile payload?

    Documentation of MobiControl some years ago mentioned about a 5-minute limit for execution of Android script before it will be killed to avoid potential deadlock/slow system.  Is there still such a limit in v13.4+ or v14.x scripts (especially the scripts defined in "Scheduled script" profile payload introduced in MobiControl v14.3.0)?   If so, is the limit still 5-minute or some other value?

    Is there a way to start / force updates from Managed Play Store

    SOTI 14.2, Android Enterprise, Mobicontrol Agents 13.4.0.1485+ Hi all,  I am trying to find a way to start / persuade applications updates to start from the Google Play (Managed Play Store).  Has anyone tried something similar? The reason for trying to do this is that I have customers that don't have cellular data but have WiFi facilities when in their offices and updates are set to over Wi-Fi only. Any thoughts?
