Android Settings

I'm looking to change two settings on our TC70X Zebra Android devices.  One is changing the Screen lock to None, and the second is changing Wifi Settings "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to Always.  Is there a way to do that in Soti?

Hi Travis,

Thank you for providing more information.

These features are not available in MobiControl but you can use Zebra StageNow to generate an XML with above configurations and deploy this XML to your Zebra devices via MobiControl packages or filesync.

Depending on the MX version supported by your devices, these settings maybe configurable for this device model via StageNow. Last time I worked with StageNow, I could set the sleep policy for Wifi to never sleep but you will have to check with Zebra support to see if the Device Screen lock can be forced to be removed from the devices.

More information on this process can be found here: https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v14.2/en/console/other/stagenow.html

Please let me know if any more information is required.

Thanks,

A little late to the game here but the Wi-Fi on during sleep can be performed via writesecuresetting script OR via an MX script. 

writesecuresetting -glo wifi_sleep_policy 2

 

vs. 

 

mxconfig <YOURMXPROFILE>.xml

 

Will both work. I believe the lock screen disabling will only work through MX and is limited by the OSX version as well.

To follow up on Matt D's answer, create the settings in StageNow for DevAdmin and Wi-Fi, then export for MDM

Setttings.XML

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic version="6.0" type="DevAdmin">
<parm name="UnknownSourcesStatus" value="1" />
<parm name="ScreenLockType" value="5" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic version="5.1" type="Wi-Fi">
<characteristic type="System">
<parm name="WiFiAction" value="enable" />
<parm name="WifiSleepPolicy" value="AlwaysOn" />
</characteristic>
<parm name="UseRegulatory" value="0" />
<parm name="UseDiagnosticOptions" value="0" />
<parm name="UseAdvancedOptions" value="0" />
<parm name="UseHotspotOptions" value="0" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

Copy Settings.XML to your device /sdcard/download/Settings.XML then send the script

mxconfig /sdcard/download/Settings.XML
