Migration from Airwatch to Android Management API
One of our customers is currently onboarded to Airwatch to manage their devices, but they want to move to our Android Management API (AMA) based device management solution. Is there any support available to silently migrate these devices? Or is the only way to wipe the devices and onboard AMA. I see there is support if we own the custom DPC application. But in this case since its owned by Airwatch its out of our control.
How to prevent users from disabling global proxy settings on fully managed Android devices?
I develop a Custom DPC application for fully managed devices, and I am planning to configure global proxy settings for Android devices through our EMM Console. I want to restrict disabling these proxy settings, but I am unsure how to implement this restriction. I have reviewed the UserManager and DevicePolicyManager documentation but could not find any specific settings or policies to prevent users from modifying or disabling proxy configurations. Would anyone happen to know how to implement the restrictions that would prevent users from disabling proxy settings on fully managed Android devices? Thank you in advance for your help.
How to add, update, and remove pinned shortcuts as a Device Owner without user interaction?
I am developing an MDM (Mobile Device Management) application and need to manage pinned shortcuts programmatically as a Device Owner. Currently, I can add, update, and remove pinned shortcuts only with user interaction using ShortcutManager. However, I need to perform these operations silently (without user confirmation) since my app runs as a Device Owner. I checked the Device Policy API and Android Management API, but I couldn’t find any specific policy or method for managing pinned shortcuts as a Device Owner. I attempted to use ShortcutManager#requestPinShortcut(), but it still requires user confirmation. I reviewed the Android Enterprise Documentation but found no mention of pinned shortcuts management for Device Owners. Is there any hidden API or specific Device Policy setting that allows a Device Owner to manage pinned shortcuts without user interaction? If not, is there any alternative approach to achieving this functionality programmatically? Thanks
Deleting and Erasing Device Using the AMA API
When I use the Android Management API to delete a device from an enterprise, the device is deleted but the physical device is not wiped, I can still see that the Physical device is connected to the enterprise from the device it self. The device is in fully managed mood. I want to ask if this is the normal behavior, because I'm expecting that when I delete a device from an enterprise with AMA API, the physical device should be cleared and factory resetted?
Samsung Tab Active5 Side Button Configuration
Is there any way to change the default configuration for press and hold from "Wake Bixby" to "Power off menu". Trying to run a kiosk application and it's confusing for users to need to hold the side and volume down button to open the power control. Bixby is otherwise disabled so holding the side button currently does nothing in its default configuration. Samsung support has unfortunately been less than helpful, and will only lift a finger if you pay for full Knox EMM.
