Set locked Brightness % in Lockdown profile - Honeywell EDA61K

Hi All,

We are starting to use Android for our Handheld barcode devices, at the moment Honeywell EDA61K,

Unfortunately are the users complaining that the brightness not are high enought, so i would like to force the brightness to max at all time with Mobicontrol,

Have anybody tried to do that, or can't point me in the direction.

The devices are installed as Android Classic, and we already have a lockdown menu and programs installed through Mobicontrol on the devices, so perhaps it's only a script we need to add to the lockdown menu.

Our System:

Mobicontrol  15.3.0.6713

Honeywell Devices - Android 9

Device agent and Plugin 15.1.1.10.31

Best Regards

Matthias S.

As I don't have any similar Honeywell device to do any tests, the following is just my best educated guess.

If you are lucky enough that your device firmware and Android version support any Settings related script from MobiControl,  the following script will likely have the highest chance to achieve partly what you need:

   writesecuresetting -sys screen_brightness_mode     0 

   writesecuresetting -sys screen_brightness   255

Some devices might not have 255 as the brightness level, and one might need to try out  lower value in such cases. 

If your device supports feature-control to disable brightness change by device end-user. you should make sure that such option is not deployed before sending the above script to the device, and is enabled after running the above script.

For Honeywell devices you can also use the Enterprise Provisoner XML to configure settings like these. 

Below is the XML for turning off auto brightness and setting brightness level to 255. The xml file name can be something like MaxBrightness_DeviceConfig.xml but needs to end with DeviceConfig.xml. 

The file can be file synced or delivered in a package to the /sdcard/honeywell/persist directory. It will be applied at the next reboot. 

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<ConfigDoc name="DeviceConfig">
   <Section name="Device">
      <Section name="Display">
         <Key name="screen_brightness">232</Key>
         <Key name="screen_brightness_mode">0</Key>
      </Section>
   </Section>
   <SettingsPackage>pkg/ScanPal/EDA61K_AndroidP_V0019/</SettingsPackage>
   <HHPReserved name="HHPReserved">
      <Section>
         <Key name="EXMVersion">1</Key>
      </Section>
   </HHPReserved>
</ConfigDoc>

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for requesting a response from SOTI Support Staff,

As Raymond suggested we can use script to set the device brightness level, Also as Shawn suggested for Honeywell devices we can use XML config files to set brightness.

Thank you Raymond and Shawn for sharing your inputs.

We also have settings manager application available, which can provide only brightness feature control to end users.

please find the link below to find more details regarding settings manager.
