These settings will be ignored by the current 92/95/96-Series phones. ## Upgrading to SAM 1.9.0 If you’re running SAM 1.4.1 or later you can upgrade directly to SAM 1.9.0. If you’re running a version of SAM before 1.4.1 you’ll need to upgrade to 1.4.1 and then to 1.9.0. 1. {% hint style="info" %} **Custom Attributes are no longer supported** Because all configurable parameters are accessible within the Graphical User Interface screens in SAM 1.9, Custom Attributes are no longer supported. (SAM-1219, SAM-1233) {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} **Apply backups to the same version of SAM!** A backup should only be applied to the version of SAM it was derived from. For example, a backup from SAM 1.4.1 should only be applied to SAM 1.4.1. (ESCSAAS-124) {% endhint %} 2. ## Enhancements Enhancements marked *Versity 97 Series* below are only available on the new Versity 97 Series phones running Android 13. ### About #### 97-Series DPC Initial Enrollment QR Code If you are administering 97 Series phones and are not using an EMM, you can scan this QR code to automatically set the permissions needed for Spectralink apps to run on the phone. (SAM-1232). ### Biz Phone #### Select Announce Caller ID UI State Announce Caller ID *For Versity 97 Series phones only* If enabled the phone will speak the name of the caller (or the caller’s number if the name is not available) when an incoming call arrives. The available settings are *Never* (default), *Always*, and *Only when using Headset*. (SAM-1042) #### Video Calls *This is a BETA feature not currently supported in Versity phones.* (SAM-1253) ### Buttons #### Configure specific buttons to Wake Up Device *For Versity 97 Series phones only* Pressing the power button will always wake up the phone. The new *Wake up Device* setting allows administrators (and users) to designate any other button (or multiple buttons) to also wake up the phone. The Top (Alarm) button is set True by default.

(X1-4107) ### VQO #### New 6 GHz channels are available in Channel Selection, for Wi-Fi 6 Versity 97 Series phones can use 6GHz channels available in Wi-Fi 6. ### General #### Updating SAM SAM 1.9 has improvements to enhance the robustness of the update process. (ESCSAAS-113, ESCSAAS-114, ESCSAAS-125, ESCSAAS-126, ESCAAS-127) ## Fixes & Minor Enhancements ESCSAAS-74 The device and license counts are now correctly reported on the login page. ESCSAAS-120 Group and Enterprise settings are now correctly applied when registering new devices. ESCSAAS-121 When restoring from a backup, SAM 1.9 now checks to make sure the backup was originally created in SAM 1.9. SAM-1009 In the Buttons app, the Custom Intent Details fields are only available if a button is set to Custom in the dropdown menu. SAM-1019 Downloading automatic backups now works properly. SAM-1177 The option to use automatic backups is restored.\ PLEASE NOTE: **You should always take a manual backup just prior to updating SAM**, rather than relying on an automatic backup that might have been taken almost a day ago. SAM-1187 In Device Settings, deleting APN Configurations now works correctly. SAM-1229 In the VQO app, FT and CCKM options have been restored to the Wi-Fi Preferences section. {% hint style="info" %} **Regarding Android 8 phones and FT and CCKM settings** Versity 95/96-series phones running Android 8 (1.x Versity releases) may experience a 5-10 second disconnect from Wi-Fi when FT and CCKM configuration settings are received from SAM (or an EMM). This disconnect will occur regardless of the setting values. *Workaround:* Upgrade your phones to Android 10 (Versity 2.x). If you cannot upgrade to Android 10, it is recommended that you avoid pushing these 2 settings unnecessarily, to minimize these disconnects. Avoid using the *Re-apply Config* setting from the SAM device list, which will push the settings to a device regardless of setting changes. Instead use the *Save Configuration* and *Send Configuration Now* buttons in SAM, which will only send application settings that have changed. {% endhint %} ## Known Issues SAM-1243 The labeling of some of the settings in Device Settings is inconsistent. SAM-1244 When you create a Web Application Shortcut in Web API, SAM doesn’t validate the URL you enter. Make sure you enter a valid URL. {% hint style="info" %} **Notification sound changes affecting Android 8 users** The Rebidium sound is no longer supported, because Google has removed it from Android 10. Spectralink recommends upgrading your phones to Android 10 for the best performance with SAM 1.9. (APPS-4484) {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.spectralink.net/amie-essentials/release-notes/sam-1-9-0.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
