I am in the middle of deploying a number of TC70s using Soti Mobicontrol as a MDM.
I can't find a way to easily remotely push changes to the system settings like "screen_off_timeout".
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
How to change system settings on TC70// Expert user has replied. |

Hi,
This procedure worked for me with SOTI Mobicontrol on a TC70 KitKat:
Send the following command to the device: watchsettings on
On the device, make the desired settings change
Send the following command to the device: watchsettings off
Select the device on the web console and expand the Logs section on the right side of the screen
In the message column, look for an event that looks like this:
Custom log (URI:content://settings/system SETTING:screen_off_timeout VALUE:60000)
From the above you need to extract the settings type, settings name and settings value. The type will be system (sys) or secure (sec)
The command format will be writesecuresetting -
For this example, the type is system so we will write –sys, the name is screen_off_timeout and the value is 60000
When put together it forms writesecuresetting –sys screen_off_timeout 60000
This works for a number of settings. Unfortunately not for all of them.
