Remote Control not working on Sony and Nokia devices

I have followed provided instructions to add the plugin/package to our handsets that need them to enable remote control.  We have a mixture of handsets - the Samsung handsets work perfectly fine without a package deployed and I can see and control the phone through Remote Control.  However, I have tested this on our Sony and Nokia handsets - I can see the screen but cannot control it.  I have tested a Sony Xperia L3 running Android 8.1.0 and a Nokia 5 running Android 9.  I downloaded the packages from the SOTI website - have I missed a step that allows control of the phone?

What are the version and build numbers of the device agent on your devices?

What about the active MDM API's reported by the device agents?

Hi, 

Agent Version:

14.0.0 Build 1579

Active MDM API:

Work managed Device, Remove View (1.16.0.100)

Thanks

If the active MDM API's on your device include only "Remote View", then you cannot do full remote-control, which often requires RC+ API.

If I remember correctly, at least some Sony and Nokia device models I handled in the past did support full remote control.  Maybe be you can try re-enrolling the device, and also check if you have SUCCESSFULLY deployed the right AE plug-in's onto the device.

Hi Raymond, 

Thank you for this - I will look into it and see if I can get this working from your advice.
