SOTI Mobicontrol Cloud Lockdown profile blocking Samsung Android Enterprise Phone app

I am trying to configure a Lockdown profile on MobiControlCloud version 15.1.2.1035, for a Samsung A20e (Android 10) that includes Launch://com.samsung.android.dialer as a home screen item.

However when the profile is applied and the phone dialler appears on the screen, as I attempt to call the dialled number, nothing happens.  If I do not have the lockdown profile applied, I can make the phone call without issue.

Am I missing something?

This process worked on MobiControl 13.3.0.3851 and a Samsung A20e with Android 9

Cheers

Hello Tatyana

Greetings

Thanks for posting to Soti Central

It seems that there may be some restrictions  applied to device which might be restricting this or the dialler application is pointing to a diffent bundle id then as you mentioned com.samsung.android.dialer

Can you test by removing all other profiles from this device except lockdown profie and try to test to eliminate the probability of any restrictions through other profiles?

One more test , you can do by sending a  script name identify_activity to your device while using that dialer application in admin mode (without lockdown mode )and see in device log section, if it  shows you a different activity of dialer application  than what you launched in lockdown  and if its different then add the same activity in the lockdown profile and then test again with that. 

Kindly let me know the outcome of these tests

Good Morning,

Sorry for the delay, I have been away from the office for the past couple of days.

I ran the identify_activity script and received "Current activity name: com.samsung.android.dialer/.DialtactsActivity", however even though this would start the dialer, it would still block the starting of the call.

I have since downloaded and installed Simpler Dialer, which does start a call.

Kind Regards

Tatyana, 

I have a similar problem.

If you are still active on this forum, could you tell us which 'Simple Dialer' you are using now?
There are multiple apps on the Google playstore with this name.

Thanks !
Henk

Hi Yatyana,

Please also make sure you deploy also an AE profile that has the "feature-contro"l payload option "

Hi Raymond,

Sorry I forgot to mention this when I asked the question, the feature control profile was provided with allow outgoing phone calls enabled.

Kind Regards
