    MC lockdown screen steals focus from user: Android+/Samsung

    I have a very weird issue with SOTI lockdown: Samsung J3 devices, Lock-down screen steals focus away from active user many times.    meaning whatever the user is doing on the phone, the screen flips back to the main lock-down screen.    The user can be texting, emailing, or using an approved app from the lock-down screen.     This behavior makes the phone basically unusable. The user can return to the screen they were using and continue to try to complete the task (say trying to complete and send a text message), only to have the focused stolen again by the lock-down screen. If the user is lucky, they can complete a task quickly. Though sometimes, having to try many many times to get something done. It appears to happen @ every ten minutes randomly, however - when it does - it can steal the focus away from user 10-14 times in a row. I have seen the logs contain multiple entries (10-14) in the same time-frame (H:M:S) like:    7:02:02 AM   Information       Custom log       (The device has been switched to User mode)    1-14 times in a row., different days, different times.   I also see multiple (1-2) same-day log entries for:      Information      Custom log       (Samsung ELM License successfully activated)       other info        OS Version      8.0.0    Agent Version      13.6.0.1476     This issue was reported to SOTI in 2016/2017 and I sent them @ 3GB of 'logs' over 8 different troubleshooting tests, the only option offered was - we are updating the agent. We now are 8 Agent versions past this first report, the issue is actually worse than ever.   I use:    Feature Controls: Block Tether/ add new accounts    Phone Calls: to block International and 900    Application Run Control: Blacklist numerous 'sharing sub screens (to prevent user for sharing to online services)    Lock-down : 8 apps available - (I recently changed speed-lock to 90 seconds vs 10 seconds for kickoff.)                                                          I desperately hope this is what is kicking user out of active screens    Settings Manager: allow all    SotiSurf: with settings to limit sites allowed    File Encryption: for HIPAA compliance.    and Authentication: to enforce expiring pins   My Rules, data collection and data-com collection every day at 9A   {infotech wonk}

    Failed to Install (File I/O Error) Android Plus

    I have an application that was initially installed on every device but has been uninstalled (separate issue) in the past. The Installed Applications panel will list it as (example) TestApplication Version 1.0. I have a new version of the application that needs to be deployed to every phone and the phones with the application already unistalled fail "Failed to Install (File I/O Error)".  The devices with version 1.0 transition to version 2.0 with no issue. How do I get around from installing the application to the failed devices one by one? Andorid Plus MobiControl V13.3.0.3965 Thanks in advance.

    Mobicontrol Administration utility Solved

    Inquiry: Mobicontrol documentation that are found online is not enough or vagued.“Mobicontrol Administration Utility – Deployment Server” Site Name – can I input a unique sitename? Or it is recommended to use the default? Deployment Server Name – can I input a unique deployment server name? Or it is recommended to use the default? Primary Agent Address and Port Is this the address for communication between device agent and soti server? Should I use FQDN resolvable from internal and external network? Another scenario: Public IP with port forwarded to 5494 – ex: 1.2.3.4:44 Secondary Agent Address and Port Private IP with port 5494 Device Management Address and Port What is the difference between “Primary Agent Address” ? FQDN via port 443 ? Management Service Address and Port Is this the address the Webconsole users should contact to? Is it recommended also to use FQDN? Override Local Management Service Address Disable Deployment Server FQDN/IP and Port FQDN of Deployment Server that is resolvable from internal and external network

    Agent on TC51 Oreo incompatible?

    Hello, We have the TC51 HC with Android Nougat currently in use. The Agent (13.6) is running without any problems. Now, I tested Android Oreo on one device (after update and factory reset) and I got the error message "This device agent is incompatible with your device". I tried the latest OEM agent from the SOTI website, but I'm unable to start the agent. Does anyone happen to run the agent on Oreo? best regards Oliver

    Soti Surf Disable on screen keyboard only

    Hello, For devices with hardware keypads (MC33), how can I disable just the on-screen keypad? The disable keyboard setting for Kiosk mode disables both. The google keyboard does allow for this but the settings do not apply when in surf. The on screen keypad takes up more than half the screen on the MC33.  Thanks for your time, Shawn
