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!
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)
