    Surf 14.2 and app permissions

    Our environment is using TC56 devices (Nougat) and Android Enterprise. Since the AE agent upgraded to 13.6, we had to upgrade Surf to 14.2 version for it to continue working, but there's a catch. When surf is upgraded to 14.2, or even installed as new on a factory reset device, it won't ask for all the authorizations it needs, it will ask for 2 of them, but when you launch surf (from surf:// in kiosk mode) you will get a flashing strobe mess and the app will remain stuck that way. Manually granting the other permissions in app settings fixes it and surf works fine after that, but I think SOTI should be aware of that, since something's not right in that version. Of course using Zebra devices we can (and will) use the appmgr to grant all the permissions on install, but this should be addressed imho. Surf config is as basic as it can be : Fullscreen mode with no address bar and no startup menu, then kiosk is used to access chosen websites.

    Zebra TC75 not detected via ADB interface in Android Studio as connected device. Solved

    Hi, I dont know if this is the right forum, but I figured someone might have run into this. I am trying to do some troubleshooting on a TC75 in Android Studio. However despite that my Zebra device is actually connected on ADB, then it is not listed as a device in Android Studio (see attached screenshot). Any ideas? I've been through resetting ADB service, reconnecting, restarting etc.

    Enter Password for credential storage / access to keystore.

    After rebooting device and opening application that uses certificate installed through other profile it asks for credential storage password. If I press cancel, it will ask to allow certificate after some while. If device is rebooted and left alone for a minute or two, it works just fine. Application is using certificates and Authentication profile is set. Everything also works if PIN to unlock is added. It looks like SOTI is starting some process that allows access to keystore (only my guess). Is it possible to enable it manually, startup or through script? One solution was to include a scripted delay when opening app from lockdown, but this seems to not be the best solution, because time it takes to set everything up differs and we would like to achieve the best startup without 3-5 min delay, if possible.

    Set a DefaultSharedPreference

    Hi, I'm a newcomer to mobicontrol and APK packaging. A supplier has given us an APK file, but there is a requirement to set a specific URL for the App when it is installed, and the supplier is reluctant to add the URL as part of the APK without additional cost (big surprise). Apparently the preferences for the app are stored in "DefaultSharedPreferences", and the preference is called "connection_url"   We use MobiControl - Package Studio to create the package from the APK. Can someone let me know how I would use this program to set the desired preference at the time of installation please? The help file doesn't help in this regard.   Many thanks   Mark

    Force Client to Roam based on signal strength

    We are using some Zebra RF guns in our warehouse.  Per a recommendation from Cisco we have turned off Fast Transition on the wireless network, which basically means that the clients stay connected longer.  We would like to see if there is anything we can set in Soti to force the client to roam when it reaches a signal threshold.
