I'm working on creating a custom phone/dialer app.However, I'm having troubles with granting phone role to my app a.k.a. changing the default app for phone calls. Some tech details: We are using MobiControl Version: 15.6.5.1018 Support devices with android 10+. My devices are Zebra and most of them are model TC57x. Devices are in lockdown, showing kiosk dashboard. My app is requesting a phone app role as specified in herehttps://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/role/RoleManager I have blacklisted default phone apps via a Profile, like that: Profile -> Configuration -> App run controlBlacklistPhone - com.android.phoneZebra Phone - com.zebra.phone Then I've used a legacy script to grant all of the permissions to my custom phone app afw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.CALL_PHONE allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.ANSWER_PHONE_CALLS allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.READ_CONTACTS allowrestartagent However, when I do a phone call from my second device my custom phone app is not launched. It's even more interesting, as the locked device does not launch any app for the incoming call. How can I set my custom app to be default phone app?
Hello, Can devices be moved to another group (Lost Devices) automatically if they haven't been connected to SOTI for more than X days? Thanks.
Hello dear SOTI team, Is it possible to completely deactivate the Android updates in MobiControl?We are using SOTI version 2024.0.0 best regards
Hello Is there a way that I can force all my devices ( all zebra et45 with SIM card in them) to send a SMS to a specific phone number? I assume that if it is possib I need to do this in order to organize what phone number I have on each device. So is there a way to write in the content of the SMS the imei of each device like %IMEI% or something like this Otherwise is there a way to automatically associate each device with their phone number?
Good morning, We have encountered an issue with pairing to the printer: - Device type: TC75 - Printer: Honeywell RP4F When we do not have any Application Run Control restriction, when we try to pair the printer to our app we have the following pop up (behavior OK): I have sent the script identify_activity, the activity linked to this pop up is: => com.android.settings/.bluetooth.BluetoothPairingDialog We are facing the issue when we are activating the Application Run Control restriction, we have a app control whitelist containing the following app id: net.soti.mobicontrol.motorola AtheliaAndroidUpdater.App Servitrax.Android com.zebra.hotswap We also have a feature control configuration. With that restriction, when we try to print/pair, it loads for a long time, does not display the pop up and ends up failing (behavior KO). I tried adding multiple bluetooth app id without success, for example: com.android.bluetooth com.symbol.btapp com.ppn.bluetooth com.zebra.bluetooth com.zebra.bluetooth.settings com.gonext.bluetoothpair We tried also using the manualblacklist command but we had problem on our devices after using it so we don't want to proceed like this. To be noted: our customer does not wish to have the setting app in the whitelist. Does someone have an idea about which app id we should include in the whitelist in order to make it work and the pop up to appear? Or what we need to modify ?
As of MobiControl 2024.0, I saw that SOTI added OEMConfig management through Profiles. Can anyone clearly explain the pros & cons to this over an application policy using managed app configurations? One reason might be due to some specific network or Google Play restrictions (outlined here), but other than that, what practical benefits do I have as someone that doesn't have those restrictions? I also noticed that SOTI is pushing the legacy Zebra OEMConfig app when deploying the profile, so I've got more questions that documentation doesn't appear to discuss. They do "recommend" profiles over policies, but don't explain why. (This seems to be a common theme in their documentation, a lack of detailed reasoning and impact). How does SOTI determine which app generation (new vs legacy, Zebra) and which app version to deploy? Does SOTI ever update the OEMConfig app or not? How often and under what conditions? Do we have any controls over it? Do the same rules of managing OEMConfig still apply (i.e. tattooing settings to a device) or is there some other functionality to be had? Thanks!
Good morning everyone! I know this question has been asked over the years, but I thought I would revive the topic. I am currently working on automating the process of building and deploying .pcg files to our server. I am currently on MobiControl 15.4 and all of the devices are Samsung Tab active 2's and 3s. OS versions running from 9 up to OS version 13. I have automated certain parts of the process, i.e leveraging the API to post profiles and packages to the server and setting up pipeline for deployment. The issue I am running into is the actual building of the .pcg. I have researched this form through and through, I have tried using the PkgUtil command line tool. That works fine, however, I need to be able to set certain parameters while building the .pcg file. For example, I need to set the location of where the file is saved and to set the option of 'Do not uninstall the file'. Has anyone had any luck with such a process? I have 10 of thousands of devices to make profiles and packages for. I am looking to automate this process as much as possible. Any and all information and help is greatly appreciated.
Howdy all, I am attempting to enroll some Samsung A9+ tablets. After successfully enrolling ~20 tablets, I have 7 tablets that will not enroll. I cannot seem to find where enrollment logs are located on the cloud server so I can troubleshoot further. Can someone point me in the right direction? I am on version 15.6.3.1018. I also have a support ticket in, but would like to resolve this myself if possible because it is faster. Thanks!
Hello, Sale people use these devices for their daily activities . I have a Lockdown profile configured but have unrestricted access to the Settings app to configure WIFI, BLUETOOTH, DATA settings Now I cant find any setting that stops users from downloading APKs from the internet and installing them Can I do something in this sense?

Hi, I have a few devices (Datalogic Skorpio X5 with Agent Version 15.1.5.1049), and sometimes these devices don't have the buttons to Remote Control and has the RC Error in Supported APIs. To fix this I can send one script with "retryrcdetection" and it works. However, after some time, the RC Error appears again. I create a profile with one Task Scheduler to execute this script everytime one device has RC Error in Supported API (filter by Supported API in assignment), and it seems to work ok. I am interested in knowing if there is a definitive solution to solve RC error. Regards
This is with respect to this article for another MDM: https://www.ws1inhawaii.com/2023/02/delivering-managed-configurations.html Would like to know whether SOTI could do something similar for Android device deployments, to send over the Android device's hardware serial #s, hardware MAC address, and any custom data set from SOTI via an app configuration that an Android app would use that we can deploy with to the device. Data that is not normally exposed by Android API to Android Apps, to which we could supplement by having MDM provided that data to the app via the app configs. Given that SOTI supports run intents like Workspace One, I assume this type of feature might also be supported? If yes, where can I find reference material for how to do the same type of thing as that blog post but for SOTI? I assume most of the steps are the same. What would vary is the config steps to do on the SOTI side.
Hi, I have around 250 devices with an app policy to install/update one application from Google PlayStore. I configured the application with High Priority as App Updated Mode. These devices also has one profile with Managed Google Play configured as Always Update. When a new version is available in PlayStore, almost half of the devices doesn't update. When I access Play Store on device, there is an indication that a new version is available. I can select the update option and the application update will be installed. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?
