  • 1.  Force bluetooth ON using global settings

    Posted Wed March 09, 2022 08:38 AM
    Hello,

    I'm trying to force the bluetooth state to "on" on some of our devices, we use android entreprise settings policy
    I didn't find the way to do it throught KNOX

    So i've tried to use settings.global but the syntax is not clear :

    Here is my last try...

    I can't get it to work i've tried so many syntax between the two field without success..
    Did someone get an example of "Configure Global Settings" working ?

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Simon,

    I dug through the Android documentation and it seems that this was deprecated after Android 6.  Based on the language used, Android was not a fan of bluetooth being remotely enabled without explicit user consent.  My guess would be privacy concerns.  I looked through the Samsung KNOX Service Plugin settings as well and they don't appear to have any features that remotely enable either.  I don't think this is currently possible but I'll raise it as an item for our product management teams to look in to.

    Hi Matt,

    Thanks for your reply, i totally understand the privacy concerns.
