Android for digital signage?
Does anyone have any experience using Android for digital signage? We currently use Dell Optiplexes running Windows in kiosk mode with the Poppulo (formerly known as Four Winds Interactive) app but the machines are: Costly Overpowered for what we need Purchased on a 4-year lease cycle Pain in the butt to manage Windows kiosk mode Poppulo also provides an Android app to run the digital signage but I am struggling to find many options for hardware. They suggest using a modified Amazon Fire Stick but in our testing they don't work great. I also came across the Elo Backpack 4 for Android which looks fantastic and just what we need except the you have to buy a subscription to get only 4 years of OS and security updates. We are also looking into running Android on a Raspberry Pi but that would have to be open source and might be kinda janky. Plus, no guaranteed security updates. I thought it would be easier to find just a stick or a box with Android on it but that seems to be proving difficult. It's especially difficult to find one that supports Android Enterprise. Wondering what other orgs doing for digital signage. Thanks!
Barcode setup without ENROLLMENT_TOKEN
Hi We are preparing to enroll over 600 Zebra and Honeywell barcode scanners into Microsoft Intune. These devices are distributed across more than 250 locations and span over 35 distinct configuration profiles. To ensure a smooth rollout, especially for our non-technical users, we aim to automate the enrollment process as much as possible—minimizing manual input and reducing the risk of user errors, including Wi-Fi setup. Our intended workflow is for users to simply scan a QR code at the initial "Hi there" screen. This QR code should contain the necessary Wi-Fi configuration and trigger device provisioning via the Google Zero-Touch portal, bypassing the setup wizard entirely. However, when we generate a QR code using the following JSON configuration, the Wi-Fi settings are not being applied as expected. After the QR code is scanned, the device proceeds to the Wi-Fi setup screen, where users are required to manually enter the network configuration. According to Google’s documentation, the EXTRA_ENROLLMENT_TOKEN is optional. Is it possible to fully automate this step without including the token, or is it required in practice for the Wi-Fi configuration to be applied correctly? Any help would be much appreciated—thank you! { "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_COMPONENT_NAME": "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc/.receivers.CloudDeviceAdminReceiver", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_SIGNATURE_CHECKSUM": "I5YvS0O5hXY46mb01BlRjq4oJJGs2kuUcHvVkAPEXlg", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION": "https://play.google.com/managed/downloadManagingApp?identifier=setup", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE": { "android.app.extra.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_WIFI_SSID": "**SSID**", "android.app.extra.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_WIFI_PASSWORD": "**PASSWORD**", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_WIFI_SECURITY_TYPE": "WPA", "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.extra.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_SKIP_USER_CONSENT": true, "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.extra.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_SKIP_USER_SETUP": true, "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.extra.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_SKIP_ACCOUNT_SETUP": true, "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.extra.PROVISIONING_SKIP_EDUCATION_SCREENS": true } }
Enabled FRP and now I'm stuck
We're building an Emm solution so while testing I enabled FRP and thought of giving it a shot. So, after factory resetting all i can see is a google window asking me to verify with the account that was previously in the device. What I cannot understand is there was no account signed in except the one google created ( the managed account with the briefcase thingy ). I'd like to understand how can i recover it now? i do have some of the device details on enterprise.devices.get endpoint. Any help would be much appreciated! Rino.
Link Android Zero Touch Portal with Access Management Tool
Hello Team Is there any possibility to link Android Zero touch portal with an Access Management tool with the APIs? We have our internal access management tool of our organization. We want to link the ZTE portal so that the request and permission for adding and deleting admins can be managed by Access management tool. Is there any API for that?
Unable to install certificates for WiFi
Our MDM is using an internal app to install certificates that can be managed by our platform. The problem is when trying to set up corporate EAP-TLS networks, the device is unable to use the installed certificate for WiFi authentication. We see that identity certificates that can be installed programatically via DevicePolicyManager.installKeyPair(ComponentName admin, PrivateKey privKey, Certificate[] certs, String alias, boolean requestAccess) are installed under User Credentials settings section but for VPN and apps usage, not for WiFi, which is what the network configuration is expecting. Is there any other Android SDK API we can use in order to install the certificates for WiFi usage? Many thanks.
Android 15 - Cannot set default password app
We use Microsoft Intune to manage devices. For the devices which have upgraded to Android 15, the end users can no longer select Microsoft Authenticator as their default application for auto filling passwords. I cannot find any settings in Intune to allow it. All devices are fully managed corporate owned devices. The devices are all Google Pixel 8 or 8a devices. Is this a bug in 15 or am I missing something?Application report not getting collected on Xiaomi mix fold devices
We have couple of users who have the Xiaomi Fold device and in the application report section of status report notifications we are only getting the android device policy app. None of the other applications are getting returned. Is this a known issue? How can we debug the issue? I was not able to see anything obvious in the device logs. We are getting the full application report for the other devices.
Captive Portal - Intunes Kiosk Mode
Does anyone know if it's possible to allow an android tablet to connect to captive portals whilst in Kiosk mode. I am currently trying to configure Intunes to allow this and cannot find a way to allow the tablet user to connect to a Captive portal as this is being restricted. Upon the device being configured and connecting to Wi-Fi it does not display the Wi-Fi landing page to allow access. Has anyone come across this issue whilst using Intunes\Kiosk mode specifically with Android devices? Thanks
