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.
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.
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 } }
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
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?
FYI - Chrome is dropping support for A8 and A9 in August 2025
138 will be the last version of Chrome that will support both A8 and A9 according to this recent announcement. https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/352616098/sunsetting-chrome-support-for-android-8-0-oreo-and-android-9-0-pie?hl=en There are very small populations of these devices left in the wild but I personally still support quite a number of them. The entire Atlas family from Zebra including the TC51, MC3300, and VC80x devices all max out on A8 with no higher upgrades available. This likely will lead to forced upgrades to those devices, especially given how many modern apps are hybrid web apps dependent on the WebView and/or Chrome (Chrome is the System WebView implementation on A8).Zero Touch MDM Phones Randomly Factory Resetting
Hello We have been having an issue over the past few weeks/months where Android devices are randomly resetting. The phones are zero touch enrolled and managed by Intune via COPE, we apply configuration and compliance policies to these devices. One of these configurations enforces a device wipe after so many failed pin code failures. This is the only known wipe configuration set on the devices. We have exhausted the configuration side and do not see a root cause other than user error, however this is not really likely given it takes some effort to actually do this. From googling online, we can see that this may be an issue relating to the play version not updating correctly, is this still an issue? Random factory resets after devices complete GZT configuration. | Android Enterprise Customer Community - 2236 These devices are a mix of newly enrolled and also old enrolled devices. They have also been setup with Wi-Fi. Thanks
