The newest RD Client Android App (10.0.15.1208) has the following issue (manifests at least on Android 12 on Fairphone 4): If I have a remote desktop open and I start writing text on a physical keyboard, the Android navigation bar opens at the bottom of the screen, covering some of the remote desktop (typically the Windows task bar). To make the task bar visible again and hide the scrolling icon in the center, I need to press the back button on the navigation bar. This happens both on the phone screen and when connecting to an external display and using the experimental Android desktop mode. This heavily reduces the usability of the Android app for any full-screen remote desktop usage. It would be great if you could inhibit the navigation bar opening when using a physical keyboard (the phone settings do not have an option to force this). This behavior would not be so bad if I could set the resolution to have larger aspect ratio, so that I would have unused bars at the top and the bottom of the screen that would be covered by the navigation bar instead of the actual remote desktop view. However, this is not currently possible: in the "Customize display resolution" menu in the options, I can only select from a predefined selection of resolutions, all matching the aspect ratio of my device. Please make it possible to freely select the width and the height of the resolution and use aspect ratio-aware scaling.2.1KViews3likes7CommentsAzure AD / Entra ID and Microsoft 365 Basic
In the last few weeks, I have struggled with new technologies. This encompasses the latest on the market in Android based mobile phones and a new Ryzen 9 mini desktop computer. To eliminate both old phone apps and old laptop applications in the MS Store (Apps) update, I wiped old phone access to accounts via Edge and Google. However, old laptop, which is an HP Ryzen 3 held on to apps and preferences somewhere across systems. So, on both my new mini desktop and the old laptop, I used PowerShell to eliminate remnants of DevHome Pre and CoPilot Pre which kept popping up. Low and behold, I saw new things in my Microsoft and Google Play stores on my devices. Not sure why this would not have happened on installation... Then thinking I was ready to remove XBOX. I did this as well via PowerShell commands. So, now both my machines are work machines with the AMD graphics qualities and XBOX gaming services. Then I removed any old credentials on the old laptop that would use my email address attached to the Work and School account. However, Azure AD and Entra ID will not let me run anything as related to my own accounts. For example, a) I can't change my own password on the Azure AD / Entra ID page. When I attempt to change my password, I get a writeback error: SSPR_0010. However, you need to buy Entra ID Connect to correct this. Entra ID is a trial version to my Azure AD sign-ins so even if I exist in Entra ID and Microsoft is moving to Entra ID, why am I being forced into purchasing things to correct this issue? b) I can't enroll into Microsoft 365 Business Basic using my Work and School Account email address. The enrollment sends me to a blank screen and never enrolls. If I try a second time using my Work and School email address, I get an error that states I have to use a different email address. It seems someone besides me is using my email address here for account access because the Work and School account holds a Visio (web only version) and my Personal account holds a real one that I can't use on my new mini which uses my own email address and not gmail.com or outlook.com. c) Edge creates a blank profile on its own that does not have my profile information in it if I do not use my Work and School account email address to sign-in. I keep losing my profile on first tab load in Edge. d) The Windows 11 Pro license on my new mini request my Work and School account login. The two have nothing to do with each other except that the email address is the same for account purposes. At one point, this CoPilot screen that says "Coming Soon" did not appear and now it is back again. Can you please assist in resolving this issue? I should technically be able to remove my Windows Live account that uses my Work and School email address and recreate it on a new machine without this much of a hassle.Softkeyboard probleam for Android RDP App at Android Pad
Dears, I have an Android Pad to use Remote Desktop APP from Google Play Store issued by Microsoft. In my terms, when I tried to type some words, the screen bottom appear a static area, seems like the RDP app lost control with this screen area like my pictrue (One before bug appear and another shows the bug) . This screen shows taskbar but stop reflash and can't touched to operate taskbar, only pull down the move button in screen center to show the taskbar in other screen area can operate it. Then I found the reason is soft keyboard. When I type by my physical keyboard with pad, or touched the soft keyboard button in the top of the RDP app toolbar, the bug appreard. I tried to change the soft board app, even GBoard issued by Google and SwiftKey issued by Microsoft have the same probleam. I'm no idea how to fix it, that's why this problem been submit.66Views0likes2CommentsTyping in remote server command prompt not working on android.
When using the Microsoft Remote Desktop android app I cannot type in command promot/powershell windows on the remote server using the Android keyboard. I have to resort to using the remote server on screen keyboard for it to work. I have tried both the built-in samsung android keyboard and Microosft SwiftKey and both do not work. It appears this is an android Remote Desktop issue. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5current on updates, but I have had the same issue on other android phones as well.20Views0likes1Comment[Feedback] [Windows App for Android] Flickering in the bottom of screen
When a custom display resolution is setup in the app, the remote desktop doesn't come full screen and a flickering is seen in the bottom of the device screen. This makes using the app highly frustrating as I have to scroll to the bottom of the screen by panning to hit start menu or switch between apps from the taskbar.And then I have to pan to top of screen to be able to close any app window.43Views0likes0CommentsFix the error message and make it clear that the app only supports commercial accounts
The amount of negative reviews in this app is mind boggling. If only you could make the application clearly state that personal accounts will not work. The error message with hexa code is not appealing or helpful for anyone141Views0likes2Comments
