Microsoft Managed Home Screen: Unwanted Samsung One UI 8.0 Elements Appearing
Hello Tech Community, Our organization is currently deploying a configuration in Microsoft Intune using a Corporate-owned dedicated device enrollment profile. We’ve applied a device restriction policy to configure Samsung tablets in Multi-app Kiosk mode, with Managed Home Screen set as the launcher. Instead of using an app configuration policy, Managed Home Screen is configured through the device restrictions policy. We’ve left the device navigation options unconfigured, which should hide the following UI elements: Android Overview button Android Home button Android App drawer Once all policies and required apps are installed, Managed Home Screen successfully acts as the launcher for end-users to sign in. Overall, this works well; however, we’ve encountered an intermittent issue: After multiple lock/unlock cycles, the navigation bar sometimes reappears, showing the Overview, Home, and App Drawer buttons. This allows users to access background apps that are not exposed through Managed Home Screen, which defeats the kiosk experience. Device details: Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE Android 16, One UI 8.0 Managed Home Screen version: 2.2.0.107721 Has anyone experienced this behavior or have recommendations to prevent these UI elements from reappearing? I’ll gladly provide additional details about our configuration if needed. Thank you!Android 15 - CredentialProviderPolicy not surfaced by Intune
I have been having an issue with Android 15 devices. We use Authenticator as our password autofill provider. As soon as a device is updated from Android 14 to Android 15, the password autofill provider is no longer set and the setting to change it is 'blocked by work policy.' I have already tried removing all policies that apply to the devices (device config and device compliance policies) and factory resetting them. Simply having them enrolled as corporate owned fully managed devices causes this to happen. I raised the issue in the Android Enterprise community blog. A link to that is included below. Someone on that thread found that there is a policy in Android 14/15 called the credentialproviderpolicy. When that policy is blocked or unconfigured, this behavior happens. I cannot find anywhere in Intune where I can set this policy. It seems that it is allowed by default when managing Android 14 with Intune, but not set or blocked when the device switches to Android 15. Is there any way to specifically set a policy that is not reflected in the Intune UI? This is a blocker for being able to move more phones to Android 15.

Managed Home Screen MSAL - severe issuse
Hi Intune Community! We are currently experiencing severe issues with Managed Home Screen and MSAL on our shared Android devices, managed as dedicated with Entra Shared mode. Anyone else experiencing issues? Quite often when a user types her user name at the MHS sign in page and press the Sign In button, the screen only blinks and nothing happens. Only workaround is to restart the device and then it often works to sign in a user once or twice, until same issue happens again. It affects all devices and all users and we have tried both the latest version of MHS and some older version. No difference. Some things that we have seen is: If we exit kiosk mode and start the Intune app it says "Something went wrong" and shows a Register button. This is however gone when restarting the device. (see images below) If we start the Authenticator app, also after exit kiosk, it asks for "organization email" and shows a Register button. This is also back to normal once you restart the device. (see images below) If we let the device be after trying to sign in, 10-20 minutes later it has managed to sign in and asks for setting a Session PIN. The problem is that it is the user who last made a successful sign in who gets signed in. Huge security issue. We also see that Edge and Teams (probably other msal-enabled apps as well) doesn't behave as normal even if you successfully sign in. Teams ask what account to sign in with. Either selecting the suggested account or pressing the Back-button (<) signs you in. (see images below)
iPads in Single App Mode stuck after Update
Hi, We've got a bunch of iPads that we control via InTune, a bunch are set to Single App Mode. They have auto-update on for iOS updates, however when they restart themselves after completing the update often(not always) they will go back to the lock screen rather than the single app screen. Thankfully we've got the SN displayed on the lock screen and when we reboot from InTune it fixes it, however this isn't a proper solution. Because it's single app mode it won't let the users swipe away the lock screen. Has anyone got a fix for this? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
MDM Work Portal Settings – Android – iOS
Hello Team, Please help me with some questions I have regarding the implementation of my MDM policy on Android and iOS mobile devices. When installing these applications, the following questions arise: Why is "location" required, and why is its activation necessary? It requests permission to access the phone's storage — why is this needed? How is web browsing managed or controlled? Defender asks to activate a VPN — I would like to understand why this is necessary. How does Defender classify the severity level as high, medium, or low, and how is this used to determine whether a device is considered compliant?
WiFi profile does not work
I registered my device as a dedicated device for a single app, and I want to configure it so that it automatically connects to a network that the ESP32 generates, that is, a network without internet, but I am having difficulty doing this, I will show a photo of how I configured it and if there is anything wrong. I'll wait. Note: Android Enterprise platform and does not have a password
