How can I black list device setting and only enable the Bluetooth settings. I can blacklist device settings and use the setting manager to manage the bluetooth. but when it comes to pairing the pairing code is not getting prompt. I think it is due to device setting is blocked.

then I got following script to enable permition popups for bluetooth. this is working only with one device which have android version 8

manualblacklist add com.android.settings "

  " manualblacklist on "

               

  1. unblock some components that we need to use

                Ex

                "manualblacklist addallowed com.android.settings/.bluetooth.RequestPermissionActivity"

                "manualblacklist addallowed com.android.settings/.bluetooth.BluetoothPairingDialog"

The script approach has been working for many years, and should work for any Android version.  For Android 9 or later, maybe the activity names get changed  on your device(s),  and you have to tune the parameters accordingly.

How do I check the activity name change or not. Also there are no customizations has done for these devices, they all reset and enrolled to console as cooperate device.

The simplest and free approach is to send MobiControl "identity_activity" script command to a device while the activity of interest is running in the foreground on the device.

I checked, but don't see any deferent when comparing the script.

  "manualblacklist addallowed com.android.settings/.bluetooth.RequestPermissionActivity"

  "manualblacklist addallowed com.android.settings/.bluetooth.BluetoothPairingDialog"

Dear all,

We have encountered a problem with a Memor 10 device running on Android 10 in our company. A few months ago, we upgraded all the Memor 10 devices from Android 8.1 to Android 10. These devices are set up with full lockdown mode as a native feature.

However, when a new Bluetooth device is linked to the device, the pop-up message does not appear on the lockdown screen, unlike with Android 8.1. This issue has been causing frustration among our drivers who have to choose a new truck every day.

After conducting thorough research, we have found a solution to this problem. You can use the following legacy command to allow the pop-up message to appear on the screen when linking a new BT device:

Solution:

manualblacklist addallowed com.android.settings/.bluetooth.RequestPermissionActivity
manualblacklist addallowed com.android.settings/.bluetooth.BluetoothPairingDialog
manualblacklist addallowed com.android.settings/.SubSettings
manualblacklist reset

We hope this helps resolve the issue for you.

Best regards, MA
