DX Series phone and Android AV and MDM

Hey guys.. our Telephony group is looking at deploying DX series phones through out but as a security person am concerned about Android in the environment though it's an SE version.  Has anybody ran av/am on these phones?
What about managing with an MDM, such as MobileIron?  I tried the MobileIron client awhile back and it wouldn't even start on these phones

Hi Raun,
I have administered MobileIron for a couple years now and I can tell you that not all Android devices will work on MDM. If the app won't launch, it's likely not supported. MobileIron tends to make sure the "bread and butter" androids such as Galaxy, Nexus, and Note series are running smoothly, but some of the others are not so lucky.
I can see that the Cisco DX Series Security Overview notes that MDM is supported, but that's a pretty aggressive statement to make considering the broadness of MDM providers and the different types of android devices saturating the market.
I have no experience with AV/AM on these phones. Are there concerns other than Google Play, USB port, and unkown sources that would require the AV/AM? The reason I state this is that the Google Play, USB port, and unkown sources can be disabled by the admin. Keep me honest, but those features disabled coupled with Android SE (which is very good) would make it quite difficult to install virus and malware on the DX series.

I hope this helps in some way.

  • My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incredible 2 cell phone and I can not transfer my photos from my cell phoen to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can no longer do so. i havenot upgraded to any new software.

    My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?

    I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not.  It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue.   I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that.    I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software.  On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

  • I have created a series of pdf schematics in a portfolio that revolves. For the field service techs I would like it to work on a smart phone or tablet. On the phones and tablet, they do not revolve. Any idea's?

    I have created a series of pdf schematics in a portfolio that revolves. For the field service techs I would like it to work on a smart phone or tablet. On the phones and tablet, they do not revolve. Any idea's? I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. It looks great and works as expected on my system, but the techs cannot scroll through the different prints.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?

    I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?
    I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, and my wife has an iphone. We found out that imessage wont come through from her. After we went to the AT&T helpdesk they said that she could turn off imessage on her phone and that I would get texts on my S4. But then so would everyone else who has an iphone. That  won't work for everyone in my company that has an iphone. So what I am wondering is- since I recently got this phone, should I get a new number? Or should I contact ATT or contact Apple to try and get this number de-activated? I'm thinking I'll never get into the icloud account that this number is attached to, but maybe someone has some advice on that?
    I just sincerely want imessage to work on this phone and I'm willing to take the steps to do that.
    Please help

    Either one of the two should work - getting new number from carrier or contacting Apple to revoke phone number from imessage system.
    That is if your problem is described correctly.

    I changed out my old cell phone for a Motorola zoom and now the zoom has my old phone number associated with it's sim card. I just purchased a Samsung Android cell phone and would like to trade the sim from my new to cell to the zoom so I can have my old cell phone number back. The problem is the sim cards are different sizes. Is this something I can take to a store and get switched out?

    SRCLARK,
    Great question! You can go to the store and get a replacement SIM card at the store. Any corporate store will be more than happy to help replacing your card. http://bit.ly/3SdsA

  • Android Phone and Verizon-Yahoo Email account

    I've had my Verizon-Yahoo email account as my default email on my Android phone for nearly
    2 years. Suddenly, it does not sync with my actual email anymore and I cannot retrieve newly
    sent email to me.
    What happened?
    I deleted my Verizon-Yahoo email account thinking I could readd it without issue and now it
    won't add it. So, I am without my regular, most used email address on my mobile phone.
    How do I fix this problem step by step and what happened in the first place.
    If I canot retrieve my email there is no need for data. I need it for college classes and work,
    as well as other business uses.
    Can someone help me?
    In addition, I have been receiving ALOT of SPAM on my regular Verizon-Yahoo email over the
    past 6-12 months and I don't understand why. How do I fix that. I keep sending these adult ads
    and other SPAM to the SPAM folders but it keeps coming back!! Is someone signing me up
    for this stuff and how do i stop t from happening?
    Thank you for your assistance in advance.
    Blue.

    Hi:
    I experience the same problem when I downloaded systems updates on my Android Bionic phone, I was not able to sync my Verizon Yahoo email account.  I went through the same steps and nothing worked, until one savvy Verizon Wireless IT support agent told me to download the Yahoo Mail App on to my phone and that solved my problem instantly.  I logged in using my Verizon.net username and password and have been able to access my email with no problems ever since and have also updated my Yahoo Mail App and all works beautifully.

  • Is there a Calendar App that works with both Blackberry phones and Android phones ?

    I just recently got a Blackberry Z30 phone.  My husband has an LG Optimus G Android phone.  Does anyone know if there is a Calendar App that will work on both phones so that we can send appointments to each other that will load into our respective calendars?  Right now, we each have to enter the events into our individual phones. I love the Blackberry Calendar (RIM) that came preloaded on my phone since you can customize recurrences, e.g. every 3 weeks plus you can have day, week and month views.  I definitely want a calendar with the customizable recurrences feature, which my husband's Android Calendar App does not have. Thanks.
    Solved!

    You Both can Add one email Account on Both Phones and then sync the Calender With Email - This way when one will add a reminder or event it will automatically synced to the other

  • My ipad 3 keeps dropping the wifi connection when my android tablet, android phone, and laptop have never had any issues.

    I just got a verizon ipad and am having wifi connection problems.  It will connect to my wifi but every 5 or 10 minutes it will drop the connection.  The only way to get it back is to go and manually connect to it again in the wifi settings.
    Is anyone else having this problem?  My android tablet and phone and laptop do not have this problem.

    It appears hundreds are having this problem.  You must not have done a search for this subject before posting.  Try a search for "wifi connection problem on iPad 3" and you'll get lots of information regarding this problem and a few suggestions you can try.

  • Portable Wireless Server WG-C10 doesn't stream any audio and some video content after updating phone to Android Lollipop 5.x

    The Portable Wireless Server WG-C10 I purchased in 2014 doesn't stream any audio and some video content after updating phone to Android Lollipop 5.x.
    The WG-C10 firmware is the last version which is available and the PWS Manager software is the last version available in Google Play Store.
    There are no updates for the WG-C10 firmware nor PWS Manager software since 2013 or for Android 5.x (Lollipop) and I don't know if the WG-C10 firmware is the problem or if the PWS Manager software is the problem.
    BTW, I am still able to stream this content on my tablet which is on KitKat (4.4.x) so the files are not corrupted.  The only problem is with Lollipop.
    PWS Manager in the Google Play Store says it supports Android 4.0+ which is no longer true.
    The audio file formats which fail to stream are:  mp3 and wav
    The video file formats which fail to stream are:  mp4, avi and 3gp
    JPEG Images appear to work fine, but I haven't tried other formats.
    I purchased the WG-C10 to stream audio and video primarily to my phone and now that this no longer works, the WG-C10 is useless to me.
    Any ideas?

  • I have and android phone and I want to use my mac email account.  I cannot get the account to load

    I am using an Droid Razr M phone and want to put my mac email account back on it.  When doing the set up I constantly get a message that the there is not a connection to the Server.  I have followed all the instructions on how to do it but it consistanly will not let me set the account back up.  I am using the correct email address and password.

    Thank you so much for the help.  I had to enter my complete email address using me.com added to my sign in name and then after I got to the next page to enter the settings, I changed the address to not include the me.com information.  From there everything went through just fine.  This ended about a week of frustration trying with many folks at the Verizon Store to help me.  I'm so grateful for your help.

        Hi there T&P63385!
    Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
    Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
    The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
    Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
    Let me know if you have any other questions!
