    Force 100% Volume on Samsung Active 3 Solved

    We are operating Samsung Active Tab 3 with Android 13 enrolled into SOTI via Android Enterprise. We want to force 100% Volume and don't want to allow End-Users to modify volume controls. What we tried: Disable "Allow Device Volume" via Feature-Control Profile => Blocks the user inputs as expected, but infortunately also sets the volume to 0% Send Script "writesecuresetting  -sys  volume_system_speaker 15" to set the setting periodically => Unfortunately doesn't work on my Samsung Active 3 Other Ideas: Use or programm an app that peridically sets the volume via "android.media.AudioManager" Do you have other ideas how we can solve this? Maybe there are existing apps that already solve that problem. Kind Regards Max Großmann

    New user account not working

    I've set up three new admins in our MobiControl portal but the accounts won't let them log in. After setting up the accounts do I need to enable them somewhere? Not sure if it makes any difference but we are cloud based, not on-prem.

    Accessing 365 Apps on SOTI enrolled device

    Has anybody been able to access company resources VIA Company Portal (365), mainly OneDrive? This feature is said to work and SOTI has walk throughs but I still can not be shown a working demo from SOTI or a customer of SOTI. I've come here because I've been asking for months and no one can produce a working model. I have SOTI and our 365 tenant synced and when I enroll a device into SOTI the device shows up in Azure AD but we still can not access OneDrive. We end up in a login loop. I even made a conditional access policy and went as far as setting the policy to allow any device access as long as its in Azure AD. I've tried this on atleast 6 new devices, all different models, all new right out of the box. Its frustrating because I was told it would work before I paid for a year subscription and now that I paid I get the run around for months. Does it work or does it not work, really straight forward question.

    How to import list of devices from excel in searchbar in order to search for multiple devices at once? Solved

    Hi, I have to add multiple devices in different virtual groups in order to assign different files from content library to each group. But in order to do that, I have to manually paste each serial number, then type "or", than again paste next SN, type again "or" and so on.. Any way to paste all serial number in the search bar at once? Devided with some special symbol... Or import data from file in the search bar? Or directly import devices in groups in the SQL tables? I have around 600 devices, and this is a lot of copy and paste... :)

    Enterprise Wi-Fi profile no longer applying to certain devices Solved

    Hi all, I have a problem with an existing Android enterprise Wi-Fi profile which I created a year or so ago, it pushes the hidden SSID network with the RADIUS certificate (which expires 2027) to all "manager" devices across our entire company. An authentication profile is deployed with some other bits and pieces in another profile as that is a requirement for the certificate. The new SSID has only been available at our head office over the last year, and our 8 other offices were going to get the enterprise SSID at a later date. For the past year this profile has been working fine at our head office and hasn't been changed in that time either. The enterprise SSID configuration has been copied across our other 8 sites over the last month via Aruba Central and I have seen most enrolled devices connect to it automatically as they already had the profile in place from when it was implemented a year ago to all manager devices. This should allow all manager devices to join even if they are at a different location to normal. And that should be the end of it! I started noticing a few devices not joining the hidden SSID automatically when other devices in the same location were joining fine... and I thought perhaps the managers had their Wi-Fi switched off on their device, so I pushed a SOTI script to enable the Wi-Fi radio... no luck. I also found that some devices had automatically made the users aware of an open "Guest" SSID in the same location we have available, and they tried to join that instead but it's a captive portal which requires a logon so does nothing, it in fact breaks their internet connection. "Forgetting" the Guest SSID forced some devices onto the correct SSID. But some were still not joining the required SSID. In an attempt to force all devices off of the Guest SSID in case that was the problem, I created a new Wi-Fi profile for the Guest SSID and applied it to my device (which was already happily on the correct hidden enterprise Wi-Fi) and I then revoked the profile in an attempt to make it "forget" the Guest Wi-Fi. This worked as expected but for some reason forgot the enterprise SSID that I want manager devices to be on at the same time. Strange I thought, so I revoked that enterprise Wi-Fi profile and reinstalled again. SOTI thinks it's applied, the device thinks it's applied (within the SOTI MobiControl profile list), the device gets the certificate, but the SSID network does not join. I would expect to see it in the "known Wi-Fi" list, but nothing appears. I've removed it from the group, applied it again, restarted, forgotten all network settings and applied it, recreated a brand-new profile to apply the same SSID again, nothing. I cannot deploy this hidden enterprise SSID that hasn't changed or this Wi-Fi profile which also hasn't changed to this device that has happily been using it for the past year. I have the same issue with my colleague in the same office, we re-created the exact same steps, and he cannot join this Wi-Fi now either. I have checked 2/3 other users that I was struggling to see on the correct SSID and can confirm via SOTI remote control that they also do not know of this SSID.  I enrolled a brand-new device and that picked up all of the configurations as expected, so it does work... but is just being selective! I spoke to SOTI support and asked them to restart our cloud instance or services as it seems like a niggle rather than a configuration error/issue. No luck. We were running MobiControl 15.6.0 and I requested they upgrade to the latest version 15.6.4 because our devices are running the latest MobiControl agent from the Google Play Store and I thought they may be some incompatibility mismatch where the agent has upgraded faster than the MobiControl instance. After the MobiControl upgrade, still no luck. I still have the case open with SOTI but I’m at a loss, I have literally no idea why it won't work for certain devices. No config changes have been made with MobiControl at all! It has been happily working at one site for a year and additional sites were seemingly working as I was adding them and now my device at head office is playing silly buggers, it just seems to be certain devices. Not a specific Android version or type of device, random! Any ideas welcome! If someone had the same issue and a fix, even better!

    Android work profile not allowing app to be installed

    I have an in-house app which we deploy as an apk via a profile. I have 2 profiles - one for work managed devices and one for work profile devices. The managed device profile works fine, always installs the app without a hitch. But for the BYOD (work profile) devices, the app usually doesn't install. I have one successful deployment (after agreeing to the installation of an app from an unknown source) but two other phones refuse. The devices have a feature control policy in place with "Allow Installation From Unknown Sources" turned on, and, on the devices, I have also allowed apps from unknown sources to be installed by MobiControl. Nothing seems to work - the app installation request sits in a 'pending state' on the portal for 15 minutes or more, before finally reporting 'failed'. The log merely states "Package (name) version (version) failed to install. File IO error on device. Check Storage/Permissions. As a test, I tried downloading the apk using a browser - I then get the message about installing unknown applications and have to authorise the browser to install. This does work, but only helps me a bit, because I won't easily be able to deploy updates using that method. I'm certain this is a permission issue, but can't figure out what needs changing. These are new device enrolments by the way. Hope someone can help. Thank you James (Mobi Control Cloud 15.6.3.1018)

    Virtual Filter Group - Avoid SubGroup Solved

    Hi, I have a shared device setup and want to use virtual filter group and FileSync to perform firmware updates. e.g.  - Parent - Shared Device Logged Out    - Child Virtual Group - Filtered on OEMVersion  <--- FileSync to target this group    - Child - Shared Device Logged In However, I only want to target devices which are logged out. In putting these pieces together, I overlooked (*didnt read*) that Virtual groups "... filters all devices in its parent group (and all groups within the parent)" and so my virtual group filter is picking up devices in both logged in and logged out. Which is not really desired. Virtual groups cant filter on "Path" so is there any other way I can avoid picking up the devices within the Child - Logged in group? Thanks Adam

    TC70x Oreo GMS keeps enrolling as work profile Solved

    I have a TC70x GMS device on Oreo. Installed MobiControl using StageNow, but it is always enrolled as Work Profile. How do I make sure it's enrolled as Work Managed? Enrollment ID has previously worked in the past. We use on-premise server, but we currently have this device at home using a VPN that has access to the on-premise server. Could it be why it keeps enrolling as Work Profile now?

    MOBICONTROL Mystery - Zebra Devices in one of my Groups come up with blank screen

    My company uses Zebra MC33 and WT6000 RF's among others. Within one of the SOTI Device Groups (Ours are separated by facility location) MOBICONTROL will not bring up a display for the active devices for the facility/group. They simply come up blank; and this is for both the wed-based as well as the downloadable plug-in. I've been in touch with both my vendor and SOTI Assist going on 7 months now. We've tried a number of solutions, including unenrolling and re-enrolling a device to see if it would work. The result is the same and, the maddening part, as I've already mentioned. All of my other groups have no trouble in SOTI with their devices. And I remember the day it stopped working for this particular group. I was examining different devices (not changing anything) within the group. One moment the screens came up ok, next moment *poof*. Looking for a kindred spirit who's also seen this and found a miracle cure, or at least has had an "aha!" moment upon reading this. Thanks friends!

    No notification sound after sending a message

    Hello! I would like to send a message to Samsung tablets and also have a notification sound. I am using the following script command: showmessagebox "Some message ..." 60 3 NOTIFY_DEVICE The message is displayed but there is no sound. When I switch to Admin mode it works. It also works when I remove the applied Feature Control. But as soon as there is an active Feature Control, even with default settings or no settings at all, there is no sound. We use a Lockdown and a set of Feature Controls on our devices. We use MobiControl 14.4 and a 15.4.2 agent. Has anyone come across the same problem or has an idea what I could do?
