MotoOEM Config- ThinkShield version discrepancySolved

Hello,

I’m facing an issue with Moto OEMConfig App Configurations on a group of Motorola G Power 2021 phones (app version: v13.03.0320). The app shows ‘ThinkShield for Mobile 01.00.000’, and some features require ‘ThinkShield for Mobile v13.03.000 or higher’. Despite attempting to resolve the problem by resaving the policy and associating it with the targeted devices multiple times, the configurations were not successful.

I need to configure these devices as the new candidates are joining the organization. There’s uncertainty about whether the ThinkShield version is the reason. Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi @Sarah, thank you for reaching out to us!

The functionality of each setting in the configurations list depends entirely on the ThinkShield version of the device.

@Sarah, could you please provide details on which configured setting is not getting pushed to the device? Also, check the ThinkShield version in Settings > About phone > Android version > ThinkShield for mobile.

Cheers!

Hi @Deborah. Thanks for reaching out on Hexnode Connect!

  3. From Android > App Management, select App Configurations, and click Configure.
  4. Click on Add new configuration. Select the Moto OEMConfig app.
  5. Configure the app. Click Done.
  6. Go to Policy Targets.Associate the Policy with the target Devices/ Device Groups/Users/User Groups/Domains.
  7. Click Save.

Cheers!

Hey @Leonard

I’m encountering issues with the ‘Disable Safe Mode’ setting under System policies. The ThinkShield version of the device is 13.01.000. Could you please check this?

Hi @Sarah

The Disable Safe Mode setting is effective for ThinkShield for mobile v13.02.000 or higher. For fully managed devices with a Work Profile, ThinkShield for mobile v13.03.000 or higher is required.

 

However, the setting will not be effective due to the incompatible ThinkShield version on the device, even though you have the required app version.

Let us know if you face any further constraints.

Cheers!
