    Problem reinstalling Chrome in Samsung SM-T580

    Hello, I am having trouble trying to reinstall chrome via soti. Once the package is created and deployed from the server (14.4.9.1034), the tablets (Samsung SM-T580 agent versión 14.2.1.1083 and Android+) try to install the package and they start rebooting agent with each installation attempt. Keeping on rebooting. This is the state in which the package remains on the tablet: Or: This package is the only one with which I have problems, I have installed and updated packages from other apk's, but this one, I don't know if being an OS application is giving me problems. Any idea why it could be?

    configuring chrome with configuration URI

    Hi, I want to configure chrome with a configuration URI. If you use the application catalog, you have the ability to enter a configuration URI. Does anybody has a sample of the syntax of this URI file?We want to start Chrome in incognito mode. We enrolled our devices as Android plus devices, so we can't use a managed application.

    How to remove Google Chrome browser completely?

    several of our employees have figured out a loophole in our Kiosk. We are trying to have them use Soti Surf as their browser. The loophole is when they go into adobe and select print - they can click on all services and it will open up a google chrome browser window. we have blacklisted com.android.chrome and have also tried the disable script. So far we have not found a solution. i found this solution https://discussions.soti.net/thread/how-to-fully-blacklist-a-browser/  i have tried the manualblacklist and no avail. our devices are ATT and Verizon Tab A's  Model: SMT387 android 9 enrolled with android + can anyone provide further advice? if needed i will open a ticket.

    Android 7.1.2 - WebView - Chrome Stable

    We are running into issues with chrome webview stable on our Zebra TC75X Android 7.1.2 devices.After identifying some bugs with "chrome webview stable" that is constantly crashing our applications, we're trying to find a way to disable chrome so that the standalone android system webview can toggle over after being installed from another apk (webview settings are found in developer mode)  We've blacklisted chrome but it is still enabled and not letting the android system webview take over. I can't find any scripts that will disable chrome either. This is affecting a large amount of devices and would like to make these adjustments with as little "remoting" in and configuration as possible.Anybody have any ideas?

    Handle Google-Apps Updates Solved

    Hey Guys, I just want to know how you handle Updates of Chrome, Playservices, ... in your environment? We're using many Zebra TC20 for internal use only. We have a few Apps which only needs internal access to our Servers, so the Zebras are configured with a Proxy for internet access, just for a quick view of prices, Information etc. Unfortunately the Google-Apps don't use this Proxy (configured with Zebra MX) for updateing themselves. That means we're still using Chrome, Play, Mail, ... Versions from the Zebra OS a few Months ago. A newer OS-Update doesn't contains newer App Versions of e.g. Chrome so we're now got stuck. Is there any chance to Update all this Google-Stuff by apk or do I have to change the WIFI so the Devices get unlimited Internet-Access? for example: The Chrome Version installed within the Nougat or Oreo OS of our Devices is 69.0.x. We just want to bring out an TWA Wrapper App which needs min. Chrome 74.x. I don't know at the moment how to Update Chrome to get this working.  Many Thanks and kind regards

    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.

    Issues setting managed bookmarks on Chrome (via Android Enterprise app config)

    Hi,  I am currently trying to add 3 Managed Bookmarks to the chrome browser on an Android Enterprise (Samsung Tablet, OS 8.1, Work Managed Device), I have followed the instructions on http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#ManagedBookmarks.  I can successfully push 2 bookmarks on to the device, but the MobiControl portal states that "The server could not complete your request an internal error occurred when the 3rd is added. I can push the 3rd bookmark to the device, without the others, just not all three together.  Copying the JSON from Chrome, this is also resulting in the same error, so I have included this below;  [{"toplevel_name": "My managed bookmarks folder"}, {"url": "google.com", "name": "Google"}, {"url": "youtube.com", "name": "Youtube"}, {"name": "Chrome links", "children": [{"url": "chromium.org", "name": "Chromium"}, {"url": "dev.chromium.org", "name": "Chromium Developers"}]}] Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Can anyone correct my JSON to get these to be displayed on the device? Thanks
