Hello everyone, Have you ever explored the Android Enterprise Help Center or maybe the Solutions Directory? (I would also add Customer Community to this, but if you are reading this I will take that as a yes!) If you have, I imagine many of you were on the search for an answer or looking to gather information on possible management solutions. Finding the information you need in a timely manner, with the correct level of detail is really important, and your community contributions already play a huge part in this - so a massive thank you. We are on a mission to make our customer resources as useful as possible for you, and we’d love your help going forward. We have our thoughts on some key areas that could be improved, but we’d love to hear directly from you on this, through some online research sessions. Starting out with focusing on the early stages of managing Android devices and exploring how you navigate resources and find information. You have my interest, what does this involve? The session will take place during the next 90 days, but ideally it will will take place in August or September 2024 We are looking for 5-10 customers/potential customers (particularly interested, but not essential, in hearing from those of you in your early stages of managing devices or thinking about it) You would join a 1:1 video call with members of the AE Customer Success team and we will walk you through a series of different questions The sessions will last up-to an hour and can be fit around your availability Please note this is an optional, voluntary session and unfortunately will not be paid If you would be interested in taking part please complete this Google form (this link will open in a separate tab). A massive thank you for your time and we are looking forward to hearing from you.

Lizzie[Community survey] Feedback on Android Enterprise Secure logs
Hello everyone, I'm a big fan of surveys and we haven't had one for a little while - so here we are! We'd love to hear your feedback on a potential improvement to the Android Enterprise logs. Android Enterprise logs provide critical insights into device activity and security, empowering organizations to manage and secure their mobile ecosystems effectively. These logs are divided into: Security logs, which capture key events like app installations, failed authentications, and policy changes, and Network event logs, which track network activities such as app connections and destinations. Logs are currently stored in the normal world (REE - Rich Execution Environment). We are exploring a feature enhancement to enable this storage in a secure environment (Virtual Machine) so that they are better protected. This feature enhancement has a few options / levels and we want to understand their importance to you: Logs stored in secure environment: If the OS is compromised, the logs are much harder to access and tamper Tamper evident logs: This would allow the OS to indicate if the logs were tampered with Tamper proof logs: This makes it not possible for logs to be tampered with. Logs would only be available in small quantities (4mb on average, depending on chipset capability) If you have a spare moment, please take the short survey below. If you have any additional questions, please to reply to this topic below (by clicking 'Reply'). Thank you for your time and feedback.

Request for Android Community: Advice and Help on Playing Pre-Recorded Voice on Calls
To the Esteemed Android Developer Community, I am seeking your expert advice to understand whether my task is feasible on the Android platform. I aim to implement the following functionality: Task Description: Objective: I want to create an Android app that plays a pre-recorded voice message during a phone call. The app will: Automatically answer an incoming call when it is ON. Play a pre-recorded audio file stored on the user's phone (recorded by the user). Audio Content: “I am busy right now, call back after some time.” Disconnect the call after playing the message. Usage Scenario: This feature will be used only when the app is ON. It is intended for times when the user is busy and wants to inform the caller without manually attending the call. Key Requirements: Detect and answer incoming calls automatically. Play the recorded voice message to the caller. Ensure the caller hears the message clearly on their end. Disconnect the call programmatically after the message is played. Questions for the Community: Is this Task Feasible? Can the Android platform route a pre-recorded voice file to the call audio stream (STREAM_VOICE_CALL) so the caller can hear it? Are there technical or carrier-level restrictions that could prevent this functionality? Android APIs or Services: Are there specific APIs, such as TelecomManager, CallScreeningService, or AudioManager, that can handle this requirement effectively? Privacy and Legal Concerns: Are there any privacy or legal considerations (e.g., notifying the caller) that I should be aware of when implementing this feature? Compatibility Across Devices: How can I ensure compatibility across different Android devices and versions (API 26 and above)? Additional Information: Voice File: The pre-recorded message is stored locally on the user’s phone in a secure folder. App Activation: The functionality will work only when the app is manually turned ON by the user. Intent: This is a personal productivity tool to handle calls during busy periods. Help Needed: Advice: Can you confirm whether this task is achievable on the Android platform with existing APIs and hardware? Are there specific approaches or best practices to consider for implementing this? Code Implementation: I am looking to hire an experienced Android developer who can: Write fully working code to achieve this task. Ensure the solution is robust, privacy-compliant, and compatible across devices. I deeply appreciate the Android community's expertise and guidance. Your input will help me determine the feasibility and approach for this project. If you have any suggestions, insights, or are interested in developing this, please reply to this request.[Poll] Which updates policy have you adopted?
Hello everyone, A great question by GMenzies came up in the community the other day regarding Google system updates and the features around managing the policies for devices enrolled using Android Enterprise. It's an interesting discussion point and in many organisations there are a lot of things to weigh up when updating devices. I thought it would be great to have a poll on this to see which frequency you have adopted in your company. Please add any additional comments you have in this topic.
