Connection issues on Public Hotspot - Single App mode (MDM)

My iPad is connected permanently to a public hotspot. The connection sometimes is interrupted by a planned maintenance on the AP.
It happens from time to time that the iPad can't recover it's Wifi connection by itself.
Going to the settings> Wifi seems to be enough to reconnect.
Problem is that the device is working in An MDM Single App profile, and so the settings are not meant to be reachable.
Restarting the device is required to reconnect to the public AP.
I know that IOS sometimes turns down WIFI after a certain period of non-use, but in Single App, the iPad stays on, day and night.
It is running in IOS 7.1.
Is this a know issue?

anyone know how to set a correct task id?

Single App Mode iOS 8 broken

Hi there
Noticing a problem with both Single App Mode and Guided Access Mode since iOS 8 upgrade, and not fixed by 8.0.2.
Every time a link is pressed within a web view or any external URL request, the notice "Guided Access Enabled, triple tap the home button to exit" pops up in the top bar. We have a tonne of iPad Minis out on shows with clients that are locked into one single app using one of the two methods - Guided Access / Single App.
This is a real problem since the notice is shows on every single external URL request or page load within a WebViewer.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a way of fixing it? Looking like the only fix is to jailbreak, downgrade to iOS 7 and use that - a much more stable iOS release!

Hi Ollie,
I've found a workaround thanks to Chris from Kiosk Pro App.
You need to transform all requests (only when Guided Access is on) with navigation type "UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked" to navigation type "UIWebViewNavigationTypeOther"
One issue with this workaround is that the Guided Access message still appears for links using types "Form Submitted" and "Form Resubmitted". Trying to transform these types could potentially cause an error with loading the page.
Here is an implementation by Blandine from Adaptive Channel :
In the method :
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
Just add :
if (UIAccessibilityIsGuidedAccessEnabled()) {
        if (navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked ) {
            navigationType = UIWebViewNavigationTypeOther;
            [webView loadRequest:request];
            return NO;
Hope it helps.

Single app mode in my IOS application

I want to implement Single app mode in my IOS application through coding. For this I am doing the following steps:-
1. I am supervising my device through apple configurator and using config profile generated by configurator itself.
2. I have selected the restriction payload to generate my profile because I want single app mode functionality.
3. According to apple documentation one key is added in Restriction payload that is “autonomousSingleAppModePermittedAppIDs” in IOS and later. But I am not able to find it anywhere to fill my bundle identifier. I have tried to add this key manually by editing the profile in text edit but this process invalidates my profile.
Here is the link reference:-
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProf ileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010206-CH1-SW13
Under Restrictions Payload section of the documentation.
4.I have tried to generate my profile with the help of iPCU(iPhone configuration utility) as well but did not find anything.
So please help me out what I am missing here or what else i need to do.
Thanks

Need to hide battery/wifi status in single app mode on iPad

I am running a dozen iPads in single app mode. The App "Live OEE". I'm using Apple configurator to push a restore, and restrict it to single app mode.
Here's the problem, the first time it loads the app, everything works fine. But once the screen goes into auto lock, or is locked manually with the lock button, when it comes back up, the Wifi icon + ipad is on the left hand side and the battery status is on the right hand side at the top of the ipad screen. The text isn't really the problem, the problem is the wifi logo + the word "ipad" is blocking the "back" button in this app. I can't click the back button (easily, the VERY corner works like 20% of the time). This is a usage issue as the back button is pretty critical to the operation of the app.
Thanks,

Never mind. I found it it was due to a default setting in Quicksilver, which i just recently installed. This other question solved my problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10230913#10230913
I searched a while and couldn't find anything to match my problem on the forums. However, i wasn't sure what terms to use to describe my problem because they are all generic.

Single app mode with VPP Token Managed Distribution apps?

For some reason, single app mode setting in Profile Manager will only pick up apps that have been purchased by the device/user Apple ID I.e. individuals personally purchased apps, it will not allow single app mode on pushed apps via VPP Token Managed distribution.
My questions are:
1) should it be possible to single app mode, after all MD is to help organisations 'manage' the devices? If so, what am I doing wrong?
2) is it ethical that I can see users 'personally' purchased apps when MDM allows for 'dual' managed devices
Any help would be most appreciated.

Full Screen Safari in Single App mode

I'm trying to configure some ipads for use as web kiosks. I can set Safari to single app mode and to only allow the one website we want used, but it still shows the bookmarks, share, new tab, and other buttons, along with the address bar, at the top. I also tried configuring a web clip for the site, and setting the web clip to full screen mode. That worked to get rid of the address bar etc, but if safari is in single app mode I can't launch the web clip, and if it's not in single app mode, the web clip works but other apps are also available.
How can I get Safari locked down to single app mode and showing the website in full screen only?
Thanks!

Profile Manager cannot set ibooks as single app mode in iOS

Right now I had updated all my iPad to iOS 8.0.2, and the server is updated to the newest version,too.
Sadly, When I want to setup the iPad to single app mode with iBooks, I cannot find it in the list.
Is this means ibooks is no long support on the single app mode? Then why give us the new function about push ibooks?
I have try the assistant function on my iPhone (8.0.2) itself, it can be locked in iBooks.
Any one can tell me what is the problem?
Many many thanks!

HI Hines,
I had the same problems after the 3.0.2 update: enrolling of devices not working, unable to push configurations from Profile Manager, etc.
The update was a simple 3.0.1 => 3.0.2 on already updated OSX Mavericks to 10.9.1 and it seemed that all was ok, not like this situation: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24450438
Services used:
-Web
-Profile Manager with 20 iPads/iPhones already enrolled and with some in-house app pushed
I followed a solution similar to what suggested from Hines, apart from point #6. I was unable to re-download Server.app from App Store, greyed-out button.
So I was very happy to have another mac to download a fresh copy of Server.app.
Then:
-Deleted and thrashed the old version
-Message "all services stopped"
-Reboot
-Copied fresh "Server.app" to /Applications
-Started "Server.app" that made some initial auto configuration
-Services restarted
I just had to restart the postgres service and seems that I didn't lost any data/config (I hope, I'm already checking!)
=begin RANT
I know that Apple is essentially an hardware manufacter manly for consumer target now but that a simple minor update broke an entire software meant to be solid, like a server must be, is just plain unacceptable.
I know that OSX Server is very cheap and we can't pretend too much....but F**K...i loosed my sleep tonight!

Connectivity Issues Cisco ASA 5515 in Transparent Mode

Hi,
we´re having problems with one transparent mode setup at one customer site. The ASA is equiped with a CX Module, but we´re not using it, so far in the service policy rules it was enabled and matched all traffic, but in "monitor only" mode. There is a global acl that allows any-any-IP.
Firewall-Info:
- ASA Version 9.1(2)
- Interfaces gi0/0 + gi0/2 without any interface errors
The ASA 5515x is configured as a "bump in the wire". In general our setup is working but with beginning of the installation of the firewall the customer faces following connection issues, without the firewall no problems:
- Connections to SAP-Servers behind the MPLS begin to drop, affected all users
- Incoming monitoring sessions (ping/snmp) from central management are facing ping timeouts, connection timeouts
- http downloads are stopping, Customer: it will stop responding and the download will fail.
In general the customer describes it this way: "We do not have the best connection here so once we connected the firewall all the problems are magnified"
I recognized, that we unconfigured the default inspection during initial setup and reconfigured this entry for the cx module. So the the default inspection with all the settings are not present any more... How important are these settings? One phenomen is, that I´ve seen a large numbers of concurrent connections that increased over time. And we already had that situation, that the firewall reached the max-conn count.
Should I try to reconfigure the default inspection, as it ships from factory? And whats the best way to check for problems? What can be the reason for the dropping connections?
I attached a network plan and the firewall config, hopefully, that somebody has an idea. Of course I can provide additional information...
Best Regards
Sebastian

Hi Vibhor,
thanks for your reply. Does this also affect the traffic, even the setting is set to "Monitor Only" ?
Is it recommend to configure the default-inspection rule as a default setting?
Further Question: I´ve read sth. about, that service policy rules must be "reloaded" to take effect, after they have been changed. Is that right and how do I reload them?
Here is an output from sh asp drop, do I have to care about certain values? This values result from two connected users doing some downloads over a 2Mbit connection.

How to connect multiple database in a single app?

hi ppl,
Im being asked to provide a application which is database independent.
I need ur ways to approach this issue.
if u have a solution, do drop in here.
Thanks & Regards,

on the paper, the hibernate persistence framework can achieve that.
In the reality its a bit more complicated as your app becomes more complex.
anyway i'd say it is the best solution

Why am I stuck in single app mode after upgrading to Lion?

I completed the upgrade to Lion (10.7.1) painlessly on my Mac Pro, but now when I switch to any application, either by clicking or using Command-Tab, it acts as though I have selected "Hide Others" from the application menu and hides all other open applications. I can't find any way to turn off this behavior. It's driving me crazy because I have a 27" monitor and want to have my mail and IM client visible at all times. Has anyone seen this before?

Hi Canes,

Connecting to public hotspots

Hello,
I have an iPad 3 and have severe difficulties connecting to any public hotspot.
I am able to connect to my home wifi and work wifi but not out and about.
The iPad appears to connect but it never pops up asking me for a password.
I have to switch back to my cellular to connect to the net when I'm out and about.
Have tried resetting wifi settings under general and restarting iPad.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
THank you

Try your local library and Starbucks.
Some "Hotspot" are protected by MAC Address Filter and not password.

Windows 7-8.1 Can not change the MAC Address on wifi and cannot load login page in public HotSpot.

Adapter: Ralink RT3070 Chipset wifi adapter
Tested: os Windows 8.1 Professional
Hot Spot: 802.11b
The first problem windows 7-8.1 got IP adress and connect he public HotSpot but cannot load login page or any other page. It does not work with it.
The second problem Wifi canrd/configure/Advandes (No network adress change function).Tested with the default windows driver and the ralink rt 3070 driver the same problem.On windows XP the same function the same driver works perfectly.
multiple users to have expressed interest in the problem But Microsoft not corrected the problem window7-8.1 10?

On windows XP or linux have a MAC adress Change function allow 00 mac adress and another normal mac adress range.On windows 8.1 all Mac changer program dont work.This 2,6,A,E on second adress are not vaild Mac adress. You simply can not use normal MAC
addresses on windows 8.1.When i connect the usb the Pc windows 8.1 recognizes the adapter but the default driver and the downloaded ralink driver the same problem.On windows xp the current driver works perfectly have (Local Mac Network Adress) funktion
and works with the 802.11b hot spot.I got the internet my PC and laptop too public HotSpots and another wifi HotSpots if wont work correctly i can not use neither the windows 7,8,8.1 or 10. Many users have expressed interest in the problem more forums.
The 3. problem im tested in virtualbox the windows 7 and 8.1 on 8.1 (on the blue wifi platform) not show correctly the signal strengh. On windows 7 show this correctly.The windows 7-8.1 Configure/advanced the advanced options on Ralink 3070 the default (windows
driver) somehow downgraded function is less than for Xp. Configure/advanced the advanced options (needs to be upgraded in the future) because it does not advance but rather regressed.
Today it is very common these wi-fi technology increasingly used (hotels,Public Hots Spots,Internet coffe,) growing free bublic wifi projects. The wifi funktions on windows need debugging and modernize.The quality of Wi-Fi is now the operating system
is now a thing order which is not good then the operating system is unusable.

Hi,
For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited. To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
bit (locally administered) in the second nibble. Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
In other words
MAC address: “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal. The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is Y: “kmnp”, where “p” is the least significant bit;
p=0 --> unicast;
p=1 --> multicast;
n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
n=1 --> locally administered;
So, actually MAC can be changed to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
“Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
For the wifi hotspot issue, please check this blog to see if it can be helpful.

WiFi Sense Not Very Sensible - Preferring Public Hotspots over Preferred Networks

When I am out and about WiFi Sense is really good as it automatically connects to public hotspots and I only need to open a browser and press ok, etc.
However when at home I have BT and have set up my own WPA network connection but the router also has BT WiFi on it and even though I am connected to my home WPA connection and it is a "preferred network" and set to be connected to automatically
why does the phone keep disconnecting at regular intevals reverting back to the BT WiFi connection?
When the phone switches to BT WiFi the internet is blocked until you sign into a web portal so as a result the phone uses up all my data connection as it reverts to 3G/4G and also the push email stops working.
So is there no way that WiFi Sense could be more "sensible" and connect to my preferred network in preference to the public hotspot then only connect to the public hotspot if no preferred networks are available?
I have friends who have Windows Phones and BT internet and have the same issue as well.
Thanks

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!
