    what Mobicontrol setting controls what access a device has within settings?

    Hey everyone,  Recently our android enterprise samsung Tab a7 devices have been disabling certain settings on the tablet. Previously it worked well. We have not made any changes to our admin profile and have combed through each configuration in our profile. However, we cannot seem to find the setting that controls location services and other settings. I will attach a screenshot below of the issue:

    Set the screen orientation in the SOTI lockdown screen

    Hello everyone,for a customer I need the following function:The customer must be able to access the screen presentation function in the SOTI lockdown screen via the notification bar, as he has to lock the screen in landscape in a certain application.If I use the Settings Manager for this, it will always be automatically switched to portrait.Auto rotation is unfortunately not an option either, as the customer then has problems with his application.A Zebra TC25 with Lifeguard 94 is used. SOTI version is a cloud with the current version 15.3.3.1065.Thank you for a short feedback.

    Is there a way that a feature can be added to the Settings Manager?

    Good Morning. I am wondering if there is any way to add features to the Settings Manager. Currently we have a Kiosk on our devices that limit what the user can see/access. One of the things that has came up is needing to print off the android tablet using WiFi-Direct.  We are in a specific situation where our DOT truck drivers use tablets connected to a backseat data plan in order to capture driving logs and what not. They are needing to use their tablets to create bills of ladings and print them, all while being connected to the truck's PCG backseat data plan. Unfortunately, we cannot connect a printer or any other devices to that source of WiFi. the solution i have found is to use WiFi Direct via the tablet settings while in admin mode. These settings are not available to the user. I can Connect the printer and put the tablet back in Kiosk mode, but once the internet or printer disconnects, i am needing to go into admin mode and set it all up again. I think it would be easier to have access to Wifi-Direct through the Settings manager. Is this Possible? below is a screenshot of the setting i am needing.

    Device Settings

    Will be there something like a general "configure device settings" soltuion from Soti? I mean something in the MDM where as much as possible settings can be defined from mdm without using scripts or something like that. And i don't mean the setting if the user can change it or not. I read so often that scripts don't work for several devices/manufacturers and got the problem today on lenovo tablets too. For example: Setting screen timeout, screensaver,... and i know there have been more i had a look at in the past. Isn't that possible to be set it from MDM?

    Disable Powerbutton instantly Locking Device via Script

    Hello, maybe you can help me out here even though i am almost sure its a limitation of mobicontrol / device at this point. i want to set the timeout before the display gets locked to 30 minutes and the powerbutton should only turn of the screen. on an android+ device i found the following with watchsettings so far: Lock Screen After Timeout: Custom log (URI:content://settings/secure SETTING:lock_screen_lock_after_timeout VALUE:1800000) For the powerbutton option i sadly got no result. Using the following script on an aedo device got me no result: writesecuresetting -sec lock_screen_lock_after_timeout 1800000 I then tried to find something with adblogs on the aedo device and found the following settings triggered: security.screenlock.ScreenLockSettings/lock_after_timeout|1800000 security.screenlock.ScreenLockSettings/power_button_instantly_locks|false i tried multiple combinations of the settings with writesecuresetting i.e.: writesecuresetting -sec lock_after_timeout 1800000writesecuresetting -sec power_button_instantly_locks false writesecuresetting -sec lock_screen_lock_after_timeout 1800000writesecuresetting -sec lock_screen_power_button_instantly_locks false None of them worked. Any Ideas would be appreciated.

    Unitech TB85 Alternative to watchsettings

    Hi all, We are currently working with some Unitech TB85 tablets - staged using Android for Work. I am trying to send a script where possible to change the default storage location of the camera - and started down the path of using 'watchsettings' However Soti reports this script is not supported by the device. Are there any alternatives to this that can produce the same results please? I have tried some variations of the writesecuresetting command, but without knowing the actual setting this is just pot luck at this stage. Any help greatly appreciated. Leigh
