    Install a profile only if an application is installed Solved

    Hello, Is it possible to make the installation of a profile conditional on the presence of an application on a device? I want the profile to be installed only if the application that is deployed from an ‘application policy’ is installed on the device. Is this possible? Thank you in advance for your help.

    Android System WebView update by a script

    Hi, Could you please advise if there is a script to remotely force PDA's in lockdown mode for a prompt to update Android System WebView application? Alternatively PDA's could be unlocked, but I would need to force the update prompt remotely, rather than user going into Play Store and manually click (we have 600+ devices across UK). The reason for this question is that while we need to update some application on our PDA's, we found that it required relatively new version of Android System WebView. We are using mostly Samsung devices (A02, A04, A12) but also some old Motorola's (G8 and G9) on Work Managed type of enrollment. Our MC control is 2024.1.2.1046 If you will any ideas which could point me into the right direction, that will be appreciated. Kind regards, Norbert

    How to Generate a Report for Available Android Updates Across Multiple OEMs Solved

    Hello everyone, we are currently managing several Android Enterprise devices from different OEMs, including Zebra, Samsung, and Blackview. We are looking for a way to generate a report or dashboard in SOTI MobiControl that shows: The current Android version on each device Whether an Android OS update is available If so, which version the update would bring the device to Unfortunately, we have not yet found a reliable method within the MobiControl console to pull this information across all devices and brands. Does anyone know how to implement this kind of update status reporting in SOTI MobiControl?Is there perhaps a way using Custom Data, Advanced Search, or any scripted solution via StageNow, OEMConfig, or SOTI Hub? Any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    reCAPTCHA not working in Chrome/Edge - Samsung S10 FE

    Good Morning, I have new devices being deployed and one of our sales sites uses a reCAPTCHA. We have tried Edge/Chrome. Both in mobile and in Desktop mode.  The site works on a PC just fine. I have checked everything in the browser config in the groups and I find nothing that would block this. The photos come up ( those really annoying ones of find all the crosswalks )  OS is updated - Chrome is updated.  Manufacturer samsung -- Model  SM-X528U --  Agent Version  2025.2.0.1005  MC Version: 15.5.0.1021   I have cleared the data on the browsers and such. Wiped device, reenrolled, moved to a different group.   Thoughts?   Thanks   Jason

    We've updated our Samsara app and now the location access and scanning for BT devices notifications are popping up and taking over the whole screen every 5-10 mins. Any ideas on how to get rid of this

    We've updated our Samsara app and now the location access and scanning for BT devices notifications are popping up and taking over the whole screen every 5-10 mins. Any ideas on how to get rid of this? We don't want to block all the notifications for this app because we still need to see there are new messages from dispatch. But I also see it's not showing up for all of the devices. several of them but not all of them are showing these notifications. Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 pro OS14

    Increase/disable Volume on Zebra MC22 scanners

    I would like to disable the option for the users to lower/increase the volume of the beeps, but i can't seem to find the correct option within Soti.  i tried the settings manager, and switched the sound settings to OFF, but it's still possible to change them using the buttons on the device. I also tried the feature control (allow device volume) , and this option DID disable the volume buttons on the device, but it also disabled the sound, and that's not what i want. So basically i need an option to increase/re-enable the volume when using the feature control.

    Phone book on Android devices Solved

    Hello everyone, there is a way to create a phone book in Mobicontrol that is then installed on multiple phones. I don't want to do this with a vfc file, because I have to exchange it again and again with every new contact. It is best if I have an app with which the contacts are then also displayed in the contacts app of the mobile phone. I would then also like to maintain the contacts in this app and use it to synchronise all devices. We are still on Mobicontrol 2024.0 and I would like to set it up for Samsung devices that are Worked Managed. Many thanks in advance Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

    Need visibility to the Comments in the new Discussion forum Solved

    I don't like how we can't see how many comments there are on a given post anymore. Can this view be updated? # of Comments is more valuable than either of these metrics.

    Package upload restriction for packages or files over 2GB

    Hallo zusammen, nachdem Zebra das "LifeGuard Update 13-34-23.00-TG-U00" Update zurückgezogen hat und die Empfehlung ausgesprochen hat für weiteres funktionieren von Updates, das "LifeGuard Update 13-39-18.00-TG-U00" zu installieren, habe ich das mit "Package Studio" paketiert um ein Profil zu erstellen. Leider kam die Meldung das dies wegen maximaler Größe von 2GB nicht möglich ist. Das über FileSync zu realisieren ist zwar möglich aber für die Verwendung von XTreme Hub und dem damit verbundenen Lastenausgleich sinnfrei. UPL Dateien werden ab Android 11 und höher auch nicht mehr unterstützt, so das man das nicht kummulieren kann. Ich würde mich für eine Lösung sehr freuen, danke für Ideen im vor raus. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone,  after Zebra retracted the "LifeGuard Update 13-34-23.00-TG-U00" update and recommended installing the "LifeGuard Update 13-39-18.00-TG-U00" for further functioning of updates, I packaged this with "Package Studio" to create a profile. Unfortunately, I received the message that this is not possible due to the maximum size of 2GB. While it is possible to realize this via FileSync, it is pointless for the use of XTreme Hub and the associated load balancing. UPL files are also no longer supported from Android 11 and higher, so that cannot be accumulated. I would be very happy for a solution, thank you in advance for any ideas.

    APN Setup for Android device

    Hi the community,  hope you're all doing well. Hope someone can help me as I'm starting getting crazy with this point. We have an APN to be setup on all our mobile for our staff to use their dedicated app on different type of device. Crosscall Core X5 and Samsung Xcover7. We created, years ago, a profile with all APN informations inside and deploy it to the group of device. It is working perfectly on Crosscall devices but on Samsung devices, the phone dialing is not working anymore since 10 days. If we setup the APN manually on the device it works, but if it is pushed by SOTI, it doesn't. The only difference between the one pushed and the manually created is the type of APN (default, mms, ....). Via SOTI it was pushing a * which is not recognized anymore by Samsung but still by Crosscall...   My problem is, I havemore than 2000 devices working with this APN profile, I don't want to touch the actual profile. I made a clone of this profile and just change the type of APN and now SOTI is not pushing the correct password with a new profile... I dont know why. I tried with a new profile, a clone of profile, .... Everytime the password is false now... I also tried to push the APN via the OEM config of Samsung in SOTI but it doesn't work, the device receive nothing... Any idea? I got more than 500 Samsung devices and really don't want to install the APN manually on all of them...   Thank you
