Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3 Bixby

Hi Guys, 

I have around 700 Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3 which I want to manage with MobiControl. 
They got the "Bixby" key which should be the power on / power off button?
Is there a method to change this button with MobiControl? 
I saw a thread from 2020 where this was not possible. 

Alternatively is there a way to add the Power Off Button as a shortcut to the lockdown window? 

Do you guys know how I can disable the "samsung shortcut bar" which you can see on my picture attached? 

Thanks for your help!

for the side bar on active3, use application control and blacklist cocktailbar service:

use bundle ID: com.samsung.android.app.cocktailbarservice

For power off button, if you have access to the tablet before they go out, you can use adb to set the side key button to power off menu.

adb shell settings put global function_key_config_longpress_type 1

This is the same as going into the settings > advanced features > side key > Power off menu

I tried to see if you can use script and send writesecuresetting with the global option but it doesn't work for that particular setting.

Hi Bob, thanks for your advice :) 
In my case I need to use ADB anyways so this is amazing :)

There used to be a "shutdown" Android script command that can be used in script:// lockdown menu item to support a custom Power Off Button, but this command is not supported any more in more recent MobiControl releases.


I currently do not have access to any Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3.   If you cannot find any option(s) in Settings or AppConfig compliant managed-configuration to turn on/off the  "shortcut bar", then maybe you have to find out the app bundle-ID/activity in the foreground that will be active when the shortcut bar is accessed, and use application-run-control policy to disable it.
