    Script to process XML file that is already synced to device for Honeywell devices: MXconfig is not working for this brand Solved

    I am trying to process an XML script that will install the wifi and configure the frequency band for 5ghz. I have been able to do this successfully scanning the barcode but our devices are in the field so i am trying to do it programmatically. I exported the barcode config and saved it as a xml and synced it to the device but I am unsure of the command that will execute it. Mxconfig is what i normally use for the zebra devices but i am getting the error that command is not supported for my honeywell  devices.  What command do i need to execute this script?

    How to enable shutting down a device from Lockdown menu?

    Hi everyone, I am wondering how to enable shutting down a device from the lockdown menu, without using the power button. We have several customers using Samsung Active Tab 3 tablets. They have the weird additional function button, but that means the usual power button doesn't work as a power button and turning it off requires additional actions that not always work. So my goal is to make a Lockdown screen icon, that will shut down the device. These are enterprise enrollments. I managed to setup a restart script using the Custom action in lockdown and a script in a cmd file on the device. But unfortunately I found out, that while the restart script works, shutdown and turnoff scripts already don't work anymore.Does anyone have any other idea? Maybe using the Action: command, or Intent: or whatever...

    Is it possible to delete an older version of a profile?

    Hello Everyone, I would like to lower the amount of space taken up on our SOTI server. While deleting old versions of packages, I'm wondering if I can delete an older version of a profile. I found out that if I choose an old version of a profile and click delete, it still deltes the whole profile. Any ideas?

    Android 11 Enrollment Failed Solved

    Hello, I'm unable to enroll my TC72 on Android 11 to SOTI. After StageNow auto populated the enrollment ID, it returned "Enrollment Failed" message. We have used the same process and enrollment ID for our other devices, A10 and below. I'm wondering if there are known issues with Android 11 enrollment? Our current MC version is rather old (14.3.4.1087) and I'm wondering if A11 is just not compatible with older console version? I'm thinking of downgrading from A11 to A10. However, I'm still unsure if this is the best approach?

    Android Everything pending Install Solved

    Hi Everyone, I have several customers with fresh new On-Premise installation which are unable to use MobiControl properly. Everyone of them is on 2024.1.0It doesn't matter if it's Android Enterprise or Android Classic. Every device stucks on the profile installation "Pending Install" Older devices do not react to an Agent Update. With one customer I have the issue like a month ago already. Support told me that a new MobiControl Agent release would fix this but it didn't.Another customer has this issue since yesterday. The day before everything was working fine and they didn't changed anything on the system environment. Is somebody here which is expieriencing the same behaviour on their environment? I don't have this issue in my cloud instances.

    Paste text through MC remote control on Android 11 device Solved

    We are currently using version 15.6.5.1018. When I start a remote session on an Android 11 device, I cannot insert text into a field on the device. I was under the impression that this was possible in earlier versions. Does anyone know if this is an Android restriction or is this no longer supported by SOTI MC?

    iOS - remove Phone and Settings icon from homescreen

    Hello SOTI team, I would like to stage an iPhone to only display a webclip on the device The problem is by using application restrictions (White List) it removes all but the settings and phone icon. My goal is to find a way to remove those icons from the phone by using SOTI. I tried creating a blacklist to specify com.apple.Preferences and com.apple.mobilephone but it will fail to install. Will I need to use an XML script to accomplish this? If so could some one help point me in the right direction for what options or ideas they have? Single App mode is not an option because I would like to add more webclips later. 07/30-Thanks Kindly for suggestions but Single App mode is not an option as the root goal would be to lockdown the phones similar to Android. I realize this may not be possible but my ideal situation would be to create a homescreen without the Phone and Settings icons. I think my only best solution is to drop those two icons in a folder on page 2.  I believe we are facing limitations of what iOS 17 can do. I hope with iOS18 we will be able to hide those two icons and prevent user from being able to swipe right or left on homescreen. I did experiment with Custom Profiles but if you try to blacklist the Preferences and MobilePhone bundles using XML it will fail also. The official Apple documentaton does specify that you cant do that for those two Bundles so I think this may be out of SOTIs control. Thanks again!

    Issue with Chrome not allowing users to sign into any accounts

    Hello, I am sure this is a setting I am missing somewhere but currently no one can sign into any accounts on the Chrome mobile app and many of our apps load up the default browser to sign in to accounts. If I manually change the default browser to Samsungs browser I am able to sign in. All login's on chrome the sign in button is greyed out.

    Allow Device Care to run but not accessible by end user.

    Hi all We have Samsung Devices in the field that battery drain is a concern with, namely the new Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5 SM-X306B (Android 14) that we think would benefit from the battery optimisations menu being accessible. Currently in order to stop end users from accessing their file storage directories on the tablet we are having to blacklist the Device Care service/app so that when they click it they are warned that there is no app that can be opened to access it, as they can access their file storage from that app. On older devices, the Device Care and Battery Optimisation sections were combined into the Device Care app, on the Tab Active 5, there is a separate menu entry in settings for the Battery usage and Optimisations but this is still tied to Device Care. So if we blacklist Device Care, clicking Battery Optimisations also becomes blacklisted and not accessible. As a result of the blacklist, I suspect that Samsung is unable to optimise apps battery usage effectively because its blocked from operating making the battery drain much faster than intended. Is there anyway to block the user accessing Device Care but allow it to continue running in the background by removing it from the blacklist? Using Soti Settings Manager is not an option for us unfortunately as a workaround. We are currently using classic enrolment (please no discussions why). Soti Agent is Android Classic, 2024.1.0.1149 Soti Mobicontrol server: 2024.1.0.1052 Thanks
