    Automatically Opening Keyboard in Kiosk Mode – Looking for a Way to Disable It

    Hello everyone, we are currently using a configured URL within our Kiosk Mode, which allows our users to open a specific submenu. In this particular section, the on-screen keyboard automatically pops up, even though no text input is required.This behavior causes unnecessary interactions and makes the workflow less efficient for our employees. Therefore, I would like to ask:Is there a way in SOTI MobiControl to disable or control the automatic appearance of the keyboard?Maybe through a specific Kiosk Mode setting, an OEMConfig parameter, or a WebView-related option? Any insights, experiences, or possible workarounds would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your support!

    Gboard missing after migration Android 13 on ZEBRA

    Hello, Following a migration from Android 11 to Android 13 on ZEBRA model TC21 terminals, some have lost the virtual keyboard. The virtual keyboard is no longer available from any application (Chrome, system, ...). During my first production runs, 5/63 terminals had this problem.When I view the list of applications from the mobicontrol device file, I see that my failed terminals have two versions of the Gboard app: “com.google.android.inputmethod.latin” which is in the ‘uninstalled’ state “com.android.inputmethod.latin”, which is in the ‘installed’ state. Terminals that are not failed only display “com.google.android.inputmethod.latin” in the “installed” state.  I have tried unsuccessfully to re-enable / re-install this bundel “com.google.android.inputmethod.latin” by several different methods (Mobicontrol / Mx). My device use Agent Mobicontrol : 2024.0.2.1131 OEM version : 13-30-12.00-TG-U04-STD-HEL-04 Any ideas?

    Send a key via intent

    Hi, is it possible to send a script that uses intent to send a specific key? For example, the Android intent for "#" character is intent.KEYCODE_POUND which is the script syntax to use to obtain the same behavior as a physical key pressure?

    Unable to use laptop keyboard when remoting onto Android 11 devices

    When remoting onto Android 11 devices (Samsung Tablets and Zebra MC930B scanners) I am unable to use my physical PC keyboard to input in text boxes. I can use my mouse to control the touch keyboard on the device but this is a pain. This function was working before our console was updated to version 15.4.3.1012 All devices are running the latest agent/plugin versions Any idea how to get this function back?

    Lockscreen Message and default Keyboard Solved

    Hello dear Soti Team, We are currently still optimising our installations for the Honeywell CT60 with Android Enterprise. We have two things that we currently have to do manually on each device and I wanted to ask if we could somehow automate them. The users don't like the standard Honeywell Enhanced Keyboard very much and prefer to use the Gboard keyboard, it's not clear why.We therefore have to deactivate the Honeywell keyboard in the settings on the device which will enable the GboardCan we automate this? And probably the harder part:We have created a custom attribute in Mobicontrol.There we maintain the so-called ME number, which is a number that is needed for registration within a software.At the same time, it is part of the PIN code of the device.To not confuse the users, we will display this number as a lockscreen message on the device.Each device has its own number, which we maintain both on the device and in the web console. Is there a possibility that we only have to maintain the web console and the device gets the information from the custon attribute and somehow inserts it into the lockscreen message? Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend Maik

    Voice input for Samsung and Google keyboard

    Hello, We are having trouble activating voice input on the Samsung keyboard (as well as Google keyboard) for Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2 devices on Android 9. We tried putting the device into a device group with no restrictions without any luck. We tried explicitly whitelisting the following in Application Run Control as well as adding them to the Lockdown menu items without any luck: com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/.VoiceSearchActivity com.google.android.inputmethod.latin android.speech com.google.android.voicesearch com.google.android.tts We also run this script on one of the devices but it did not help: manualblacklist reset manualblacklist add com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox manualblacklist on restartagent The only thing that works is going into Admin mode on the agent. That suddenly shows the microphone icon on the keyboard, but never in User mode. Our MobiControl server is on version 14.2.0.2894 and the current agent version is 14.4.3.1074. Many thanks, Tim

    Mobicontrol Keyboard and Gboard (soft input)

    Hello. Our customer is using a couple of Zebra TC52 and do not wan't to to use Gboard while scanning. They don't want it to popup because it will disable a good part of the screen. I solved it by installing Mobicontrol as soft input and then alternate between them in the bottom right corner of the screen. They need Gboard for login and in rare situations. But I want to automate this via StageNow and deliver it via Mobicontrol. To do that I need a Bundle ID for Mobicontrol Keyboard Gboard - com.google.android.inputmethod.latin Mobicontrol Soft Input - ? Example     <characteristic type="InputMethodDetails">      <parm name="InputMethodOption" value="4" />      <parm name="InputMethodPackageName" value="com.google.android.inputmethod.latin" />      <parm name="InputMethodClassName" value="com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME" />    </characteristic> BRPelle

    Keyboard in single app mode enable

    Hello together, I have create 2 profiles for a iOS device. One with "Feature Control" and one with the "Single App Mode". I have add the app Google Drive there. Also in the "Future Control" under "Applications/Single App Mode Whitelist" has the Google Drive added. The configuration looks that the keyboard is disabled. The problem is, the user can't login in Google Drive, if the single app mode is enabled. But I don't found a setting point to enable this in the profiles. My question is, how I can enable the keyboard in the single app mode? Thank you in advance and best regards Janni

    Change Keyboard on Nokia 5.3

    Hi there, i want to change the Keyboard on a Nokia 5.3 to have a scanner integrated. Since now i used this on Zebra: mxconfig /sdcard/enableEKB.xmlwritesecuresetting -sec enabled_input_methods com.google.android.inputmethod.latin/com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME:com.symbol.mxmf.csp.enterprisekeyboard/com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME And now tried this on Nokia: writesecuresetting -sec enabled_input_methods com.google.android.inputmethod.latin/com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME:com.nikosoft.nikokeyboard/com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME or without GBoard: writesecuresetting -sec enabled_input_methods com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME:com.nikosoft.nikokeyboard/com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME But nothing happens. Does anyone know if I am wrong how to set it up or does Nokia / Android 10 not support to write the security settings? I know how to get gboard away with blacklisting it but then i only have the voiceinput.It seem that i'm not able to set it via script.

    Is there a way to set the language of the Enterprise Keyboard with Mobicontrol independend of the language of Android itself ?

    Hello, I have to set with the help of MobiControl to get the same result as doing manually with system->language->virtual keyboard->not use system language->set required language. Devices are Zebra TC52 with Android 10 and AEDO. Also in the Zebra Enterprise Keyboard API/MX I didnt find a way to do that beside creating a whole new custom keyboard layout, but for just one setting doing a new layout is hugh effort. Martin
