Please note that NOT all Android-Plus agents can be configured to hide/disallow expansion of status bar in lockdown mode. In fact, only a handful of brands support that. If you have already checked the corresponding advanced option in the lockdown menu, and the status of the corresponding profile is "installed" for your test device, then it is very likely that the firmware of your device model does not support hiding/expansion of status bar.
Hi,
Make sure you check the Disable Status Bar Expansion.
We've worked with Honeywell devices and this should work.

Hi Raymod,
This functionality is available for all android devices in the android enterprice mode ?
I can't be sure if this is a minimum and mandatory feature available on ALL Android-Enterprise compliant device. You have to ask Soti support team for an official answer. My gut feeling is that, comparing with Android+ devices with such support, there should be more AE device models supporting this feature, but I myself would not assume this feature is always available on ALL devices, not until I have performed sufficient number of tests on more brands and models. I'd rather play on the safe side to manage my customers' expectation, rather than disappoint them if I bluff a feature that doesn't really exist for sure.
A work-a-round may be to simply remove the tiles from being viewed. You can send a script to allow for this. The script can be placed into a "package" to run as a part of a profile also.
writesecuresetting -sec sysui_qs_tiles none
Be sure to review what tiles you have available currently should you have the need to reinstate them.
writesecuresetting -sec sysui_qs_tiles wifi,bt,cell,airplane,rotation,flashlight,location,nfc

Hi,
We also make use of CT50's and had the same issue.
We managed to get it working and in conjunction with what was posted by Edgar, you also need to disable swipe down via your lock down in the deviceconfig.xml using Honeywells Ezconfig.
The deploy the device config.xml file to all device.
You can also selectively disable what functions are availabale in the swipe down if you don't want to disable swipe completely.
Below is the section out of the deviceconfig.xml which you can edit that applies to the Swipe Down, Honeywell refers to it as "Quick Settings Menu"
<Section name="Quick Settings">
<Key name="remove_quick_settings_policy" desc="Set 1 to disable the quick menu, 0 to enable it" flags="16">0</Key>
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_wifi" desc="Restrict WiFi in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_bt" desc="Restrict Bluetooth in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_do_not_disturb" desc="Restrict Do not disturb in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_cell" desc="Restrict Cell in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_airplane_mode" desc="Restrict Airplane mode in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_rotation" desc="Restrict Auto-rotate in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_flash_light" desc="Restrict Flashlight in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_location" desc="Restrict Location in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_cast" desc="Restrict Cast in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_brightness" desc="Restrict Brightness in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_multiuser" desc="Restrict Multiuser in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16">1</Key>
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_settings" desc="Restrict Settings in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16">1</Key>
<Key name="restrict_quick_settings_battery" desc="Restrict Battery in quick menu.0=enabled, 1=restricted" flags="16" />
</Section>
Simply change the
>0</Key>
Variable to 1 to to disable that function and deploy to all devices into the following folder
\SDCard\honeywell\ezconfig
