Hi, I needed to add the Honeywell's battery optimizer in the lockdown But as the Battery Optimizer is in the device Settings, I believe it has been blocked I have tried with and without the Suppression option in the advance settings but i still receive an error that "activity not found' Bundle ID : com.honeywell.batterymaximizer/.activities.HomeActivity Is there any option I can fix this? Thank you
Hi! I've added Powerapps application in my lockdown screen however whenever I click on it, it redirects into the Mobicontrol Device Configuration screen. First, I installed it into the device using Application Catalog, same result. Then I installed it using an apk (but I don't really want to use apk in the future), same result. I added the apk to the lockdown profile as a package, still same result. If in ADMIN mode, the app loads fine without issues. Is there any way around this? It seems there's some kind of permission or something that's blocking the app.
Hi All, I am currently trying to configure a Spectralink Versity 9540 with an app which pushes notifications from a nursecall system to the phone. Currently the app is functioning correctly outside of lockdown mode, but when we put the phone into lockdown mode all sounds from the app are silent. As this is a critical system that is meant to notify users this is not ideal. We have tried both Native lockdown and Activity suppression, and neither will allow notification sounds to come through. The App is an .apk package we have uploaded to the phone, which could be part of the problem. It is not available on the google play store. Any help or advice would be appreciated, thank you.
I must be missing something obvious here. I have a test Android Plus device (Samsung ELM v14.4 agent) running in lockdown mode. I have security settings requiring an alphanumeric password. We are looking at using this on 1 group of devices. Assuming the device is locked, and being that the password is set by the user, how am I supposed to remote control the device when the user isn't logged in? I won't know the password, when I try to unlock it prompts me for it. I know I can remove the password but this then means the user has to set it again. Even when I do remove the password, when the user tries to set it again, while is user mode the user will be told they cannot change the password due to device permissions. I expect I must be doing something wrong, setting something wrong as it seems unnecessarily clunky and not thought out on how this operates at the moment.
Hi everyone, we have a problem with the lockdown mode: Outgoing calls are enabled in the features, and I add an icon by 'Launch://com.samsung.android.dialer' like with other apps... The app opens, and I can dial the phone number, but when calling it does nothing... Device: SAMSUNG XCover 4s (Android 10) with Android Enterprise - managed device modeMobiControl v15.1.3.1021 In Android Plus mode (with Android 9 version and the same device) it works OK. Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to allow Recent Task List in Lockdown for Android 8.1? There's only floating button but no recent task list. Recent task list is allowed for Android 9. Device is registered in Android Enterprise COBO. Thanks
Will the WinMCKiosk.exe application be updated to support modern browsers like Chrome/Edge? We have a set of about 400 kiosk systems using the lockdown feature to open certain websites, but IE is no longer supported and these sites require a modern browser.
Good morning all! I have a question in regard to the application permissions for MobiControl. Whenever in Device Owner mode wouldn't Soti be able to grant the needed permissions without any user interaction? We're currently up against the fact that we're deploying a lockdown profile to the devices upon enrollment. Whenever the device is enrolled and the profile is set before anyone grants permissions manually the user won't be able to grant the permissions after the lockdown kicks in place. The user does get the notification that there's a user action pending and after clicking the notification it show the MobiControl page where you can navigate to the setting required but that step is blocked due to the lockdown being active. I find it strange that even in device owner mode and enrolled using Samsung Knox/Android Zero touch the user needs to grant those permissions. We've currently scoped down to just system setting permissions but we'd like to leverage all permissions for the MobiControl app but user actions are definitely blocking us from that.
The problem is that when trying to open a url it redirects us directly to a default soti browser. I understand that the following function can be applied "file: // url browser path" But it's not working.
Hey Guys, actually I'm developing a new lockdown Template which listens to json-Files on the Filesystem to show certain Apps in the lockdown or not. Everything is working so far, but I have to serve all the App-Icons to the device manually, even for installed applications.Does anyone knows how to target the App-Icon within the Lockdown as a path, e.g. /system/package/app1/appicon.png ?How does the SOTI-Magic works within the Lockdown? There are only Placeholders like <img src="<MCExeIcon4>" onerror="this.style.display='none'" /> but works as charme. How does the MCExeIcon4 get's converted to the App-Icon? Thank you!
Hi Everyone, I am trying to add an item to the lockdown to launch into the settings>app>storage screen on a Zebra device, TC75x. However, every time I try to run identify_activity, it is showing me: Current activity name: com.android.settings/.SubSettings. That is too generic for the lockdown to navigate to the correct location. All of my devices are in the field so I was wondering if anyone has previously done this and had the package name already. If not, do you know of a script that would clear the cache instead of the data? I have only seen the wipeapplication script. Enrollment Method: Enterprise Model: TC75X OS: 8.1.0 Patch Level: 2019-02-01
Hello everybody, I have now dealt with the Android Lockdown notifications and what can I say it works.The Icon on the lockdown screen has nas a red number in the upper right corner.But unfortunately it is not what I wish for! I would like a large pop-up window with the notification pop up or bring me directly to the dialog box. According to a colleague of mine, he has already done it before but he no longer knows how. Its a Android Plus Device with Mobicontrol Agent 14.4.2 and Android 5.1
Zebra TC21 - Android 10 - Android Enterprise I have my device in lockdown mode with my company's custom app as the only app running. I enabled the notification bar to be accessed while in lockdown mode. My issue is when I open the setting and notification bar from the top to change the current wireless network to another network. I press and hold the Wi-Fi button to open up the list of available networks, the window with the list will open from the right side of the screen and then go disappear to the left. It doesn't stay for enough time to choose another network. I have Zebra TC57s that will work just fine when wanting to switch networks in lockdown mode. Those are running Android 8.
Hi I have an issue with saving lockdown. When I save and assign lockdown, I have no changes after that. HTML code is in former version before save. I suppose that I don't see changes when I add code(new lines) do templates. When I change existing code(existing lines) - lockdown is saving correctly. Version: 15.2.4.1138
