Applivery MDM leverages the Android Management API<\/a> (AMAPI) to provide robust remote command capabilities for managing Android devices. By relying on AMAPI\u2019s extensive features, Applivery ensures seamless execution of remote actions, enabling IT administrators to maintain control and enforce security policies effectively across their device fleet.<\/p>

This integration simplifies device management by allowing remote intervention without the need for physical access.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Lock<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Available for fully managed devices<\/strong>, this command forces an Android device to lock its screen immediately by simulating the expiration of the screen timeout. It\u2019s useful for ensuring device security in situations that require an instant lock.<\/p>

To send the lock command to an Android device, navigate to the device and click the Action<\/span> button (1)<\/span>. Then, select Lock<\/span><\/strong> (2)<\/span>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A modal window will appear asking you to enter the Duration<\/span><\/strong> in seconds. This sets how long the command will remain active. It will expire if the device doesn\u2019t execute the command within this time.<\/p>

There is no maximum limit for the duration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Reset password<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Available for fully managed devices<\/strong>.<\/p>

Resetting the password is useful when a user has forgotten it, when the device changes users, if there are suspicions of unauthorized access, or when new security policies are applied. It is also recommended for lost or stolen devices to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive information.<\/p>

To send the password reset command to an Android device, simply navigate to the device and click the Action<\/span> button (1)<\/span>. Then, select Reset password<\/span><\/strong> (2)<\/span>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"reset-password\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A modal window will prompt you to specify the Duration<\/b> parameter in seconds. This defines how long the command remains valid; if the device does not execute the command within this time, it will expire.<\/p>

There is no maximum duration limit.<\/p>

You can configure additional settings to enhance security and control following a password reset:<\/p>

  • Don’t allow other admins to change the password again until the user has entered it:<\/strong>\u00a0This ensures that no other admin can modify the password once it has been reset, forcing the user to enter the new password before any further changes are allowed.<\/li>
  • Don’t ask for user credentials on device boot<\/strong>:\u00a0Allows the device to boot without immediately prompting the user to enter the new password after a restart.<\/li>
  • Lock the device after password reset<\/strong>:\u00a0Automatically locks the device following the password reset, increasing security until the user enters the new password.<\/li>
  • Set new password<\/strong>:\u00a0Allows you to directly specify the new password to be applied to the device. For Android 14 devices, the new password must be at least 6 characters long if it is numeric; otherwise, the command will fail with an Invalid value<\/code> error.

    If you do not enable this\u00a0option, the command will, by default, disable the device password<\/strong>.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Reboot<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Available for fully managed devices<\/strong>.<\/p>

    Sending a restart command is useful in several key situations. It helps resolve performance issues by freeing up RAM, applies system updates that require a reboot to take effect, and fixes minor errors such as unresponsive apps or driver conflicts. It\u2019s also recommended when a device has been running for extended periods without restarting, which can impact stability. Additionally, when new security settings or policies are applied through Applivery, a restart may be necessary for these changes to take effect.<\/p>

    To send the restart command to an Android device, simply navigate to the device and click the Action<\/span> button (1)<\/span>. Then, select Reboot<\/strong> (2)<\/span>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"reboot\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    A modal window will prompt you to specify the Duration<\/span><\/strong> parameter in seconds. This defines how long the command remains valid; if the device does not execute the command within this time, it will expire.<\/p>

    eSim<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    These commands provide the ability to remotely add or remove eSIM profiles on compatible Android devices<\/strong> (Android 15 and above), removing the reliance on physical SIM cards.<\/p>

    This simplifies device setup and maintenance, allowing for faster deployment and better control over mobile network access, all managed remotely from a centralized platform.<\/p>

    To send one of these commands to an Android device, navigate to the device, click the Action<\/span> button (1)<\/span>, and then select either Add eSim<\/strong> (2)<\/span>\u00a0or Remove eSim<\/strong> (3)<\/span>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
