    MobiControl speed control lockdown profile (using more than two apps while speed control is active)

    Hello  i am trying to utilize speed control on a tablet, the lockdown mode is working correctly but i want the speed control to active and allow 3 apps to run while it is active. main one is google maps but the two others need to be active in the background or able to be switched to. when the speed control activates it only shows google maps, there is no option for me to move to the other apps.  does anyone know if i need to add these 2 extra apps to the template in order for them to work during speed control.  below is the configuration of the speed control and im using the default dynamic template   Thanks  Noah

    Admin Login Intent Android 14 Solved

    Hey Everyone, at the moment I am testing with an Zebra Android 14 device to find a solution for my "admin logout" button. It is displayed in my lockdown to leave it with the admin password. Since I updated the device to Android 14 the intent which is behind this button isn't working anymore. I use this intent: #Intent;action=net.soti.mobicontrol.admin.PASSWORD_DIALOG;i.dialog_type=1;endDoes anyone know which one I have to use with Android 14 or have another workaround? At the moment I put a .cmd file on the device which gets executed when I press to button. In it is the script: "_adminmode on". Unfortunately I don't have to enter the admin passoword anymore which doesn't fit the use case. Thank you for your help!

    Dynamic lockdown template without header and footer

    Hello everyone, Hope you're having a good day.  I'm trying to combine most of our tenant's lockdown templates into a single dynamic one we can use for both horizontal and vertical Android terminals.  Of course, I started testing the SOTI dynamic template. However, I ran into some issues.  Nearly all our tenants want as much space for apps as possible, so just a background and some device information at the bottom of the screen.  I'm not good at all with HTML and the whole template doesn't fit into ChatGPT, so I messed around, but never ended up at the result I want.  Currently, I've deleted the header and footer blocks at the top of the template, and adjusted height and padding values until I ended up at something slightly acceptable. Not even close to production-ready though. Especially because its still broken in landscape orientation(see below). I would really appreciate some insight into if this is the right way to accomplish my goal, or if there's a better way to get a clean dynamic template.  Thanks in advance, KarelCaptureTech B.V.

    All App are killed in background, no apps at all in recent apps Solved

    Hi, We have received new batch of devices (Honeywell CT45XP), which should be installed for our field service management system in order to replace some old devices. Installation is very smooth with QR. The profile is configured with lockdown with few apps only allowed. The problem is that all apps are killed after returning to lockdown screen. And because of this behavior, our main app returns to login screen which leads to loss of previously entered data. Both Lockdown modes are tested, and even in Admin mode, no app is found in Recent apps. Apps are killed immediately after being sent to background. Any suggestions?

    Displaying Unread SMS Count Bubble / Missed Call Count

    Is it possible on the Lockdown screen for it to behave like any Android/iPhone device does when there is a text message you have not read or a phone call you have missed and shows the number over the SMS/Phone icon? I have the Lockdown pointing to the default Android dialer (com.android.dialer) and using the default icon but when a device misses a call the only indication is the small phone icon in the top taskbar. Interested if there is a way around this no matter how creative.

    Need a locked down way of browsing to a website which also allows the camera to be used. Solved

    I have successfully configured and gotten the needed url to work in chrome using: intent: myurl.dev.odoo.com#Intent;scheme=https;package=com.android.chrome;end and/or browser:// myurl.dev.odoo.com (also needed to define chrome as an allowed app with Launch://com.android.chrome) BUT: It does not work in SOTI browser as the link requires camera access and SOTI browser sends the allow camera message to the background. Using the above solutions, users have Chrome with full access to the internet, very much not wanted. Is there anyway at all to get browser launched camera permission to work in SOTI browser? The solutions at the start were the work arounds that I found discussed in the forums. Failing that, how to: 1) hide the chrome button in the SOTI Browser app allow list? 2) manage chrome to create an allow list?

    Grant access to URL without creating a shortcut in Lockdown

    Hi! We use an Android app (Aims Manager) which launches a browser window for sign-in. When configuring the device with Lockdown mode and adding this app only, the pop-up browser gets blocked unless I add the sign-in URL as a Home Screen Item.  Is there a way to grant access to this sign-in URL without creating a dummy Home Screen Item?
