Solution
Information You Can Obtain on the Mobile Device
On the mobile device, you can obtain the device's model number, and the software version information for the VMware Ready, VMware Switch, and base workspace image components.
An LG Spectrum VS920 4G LTE smartphone is used in the following examples.
Device Model Number
In a Support Request, provide the model number of the VMware Ready mobile device you are using. Obtain the model number on the device. The model number is usually found in the device's About phone information. For example, open Settings > About phone > Phone identity and find the model number in the displayed list.
Software Version Information for the VMware Ready, VMware Switch, Base Workspace Image Components
In a Support Request, provide the software version information for the VMware Ready component, the VMware Switch application, and the base workspace image. Obtain the version numbers for these components by viewing the list of all applications, finding VMware Switch in that list, and opening its settings. For example:
- Open Settings > Apps > All.
- In the list of all applications, touch VMware Switch.
- Touch Manage space. The Manage VMware Switch Settings is displayed.
