    Access certain part of SOTI MobiControl app by default when in lockdown mode

    Hi all, A bit of a strange and niche request here but I am hoping that I can access the "Content Library" part of the SOTI MobiControl app directly from a lockdown mode on Android. Very similar to how you would launch the notifications part of the application by using action://net.sotimobicontrol.VIEW_NOTIFICATIONS - we use this for notifications and it works very well. My reason for this is we want to issue this device to drivers as part of our fleet and although we aren't concerned about them accessing the rest of the SOTI MobiControl app, the Content Library is the most useful part of it for them so i'd like to make it the "default" view when they launch it via the lockdown mode if possible. I know it's unlikely and I have opened a case with SOTI as well, they are investigating but asked me to post here incase anyone had done similar. Thanks, Mike

    TC57 Repeated Restarts After Update

    We have recently started updating our TC57s from Android 8.1 to Android 11 using the latest FULL_UPDATE available through Zebra. I setup a package in our MobiControl with an install_system_update command baked into it. The update name is below. HE_FULL_UPDATE_11-38-02.00-RG-U00-STD-HEL-04.zip After doing these updates, certain phones have been repeatedly doing a boot loop where the phones crash. Nothing in MobiControl suggests it is an intended restart. Logs on the device don't really give any good information either. Is anyone aware of an issue in relation to updating these phones?

    Read information from another app Solved

    Is it possible to read some information like names or IDs from another installed application on a Soti managed device? For example we have an app called Route Master ( or Sono) and for the sake of security we want to know the name of the person that is using each device. To use Route Master each user has to insert an unique ID and name in the app, sort of like an account.

    Calculator App after Upgrade

    Recently, we have started to upgrade our TC57s from Android 8.1 to Android 11. The one problem that we have noticed is that the Calculator app package name is changing. The main issue with this is that it is not consistent among the devices we have upgraded and it ends up being one of the two names below. com.google.android.calculatorcom.android.calculator2 The kiosk profile is setup using com.google.android.calculator so any phone using the other one is not finding the app on the kiosk screen and is giving the error "package not found." The app in the Google Play Store only shows installed if the first package name is used, and when I try installing it when it is named the other way, I get an error. What is the best way to resolve this issue? We have considered using another app from the Google Play Store entirely to avoid this issue, but I don't like the idea of using some random app that could be taken off the store at any moment and cause mass issues.

    Add intent icon into lockdown Solved

    Hi there, I'm trying to create an icon in the lockdown screen to automatically enable Zebra Datawedge. I found the following intent that works correctly if I send it via "send script" feature: sendintent -b "intent:#Intent;action=com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION;S.com.symbol.datawedge.api.ENABLE_DATAWEDGE=true;end" but when I configure the lockdown profile adding an intent: item, the icon has been added to the lockdown but, when I press it, the popup "Activity not fiound" is showed. I'm using Zebra TC21 Android 11 device. Any suggestion? Thank you,

    Unable to enable Bluetooth

    Hello, I am having an issue where all Android devices state that the Bluetooth was disabled by admin. I am unsure of what setting is causing this as I have enabled the Bluetooth within the Feature Control and within the OEM Config. I was able to force the devices to turn their Bluetooth on with a script but Scanning and Discovery are not working. The devices are TC21 with Android 13. What setting could be causing this to occur? Thanks
