PiP Mode Not Working in Lock Task (Kiosk) Mode – Any Official Support or Workaround?
Hi everyone, I’m from ManageEngine MDM, and we’ve observed that Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode does not work when a device is in Lock Task (Kiosk) mode. In our deployments, the device is configured as Device Owner, and we use DevicePolicyManager#setLockTaskPackages() to enable kiosk mode. However, when an app attempts to enter PiP using enterPictureInPictureMode(), it does not function while Lock Task mode is active. We are receiving multiple customer requests for this capability, particularly for use cases such as: Video conferencing apps running in PiP while a primary kiosk app remains in the foreground Monitoring/streaming apps that require PiP overlay within a controlled kiosk environment Enterprise-dedicated devices that require limited multitasking We would appreciate clarification on the following: Is PiP intentionally restricted in Lock Task mode by design? Is there any supported approach to enable PiP while maintaining kiosk restrictions? Are there any planned API enhancements to support this in enterprise (Device Owner) scenarios? Any insights, guidance, or recommended best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
2FA sign in error at Android Zero Touch portal
I am the IT admin/owner of our Android Zero Touch instance, and I am trying to log into the portal to view and interact with devices associated with our organization. Our zero touch instance is linked with our Intune tenant, and is working correctly. I keep getting the error that my sign in was rejected because it doesn't meet my organization's 2 step verification policy and to contact my IT admin for more information. I am that IT admin, and I can't login. My login information is correct, I have our account ID, and I'm just trying to get in touch with someone to help with the login. I can't even login to support portal to get help, so I had to use my personal Google account to post this.
Cant finish setup
After correctly completing the configuration of my MDM with the ZTE account, getting this error while registering the device: "Cant finish setup. Zero touch enrollment isn't available. Check your internet connection and try again." Things already cross verified: The internet connection is stable. The EMM setup contains the correct signin url and the zte account contains the correct extra enrollment token in configuration. The device is assigned the correct configuration. The service account allowlisting google form is also approved. The signin url api never got hit during the enrollment of the device and just got this error message.
We have all our devices on Samsung Knox; I would like to try using Android Zero-Touch enrollment as well. Is that possible?
We got all our new company Samsung phones added into Samsung Knox. None of the distributors we work with are Android Zero Touch partners; we've asked them to join and they probably won't any time soon. I read that there's been some effort to unify Samsung Knox and Android Zero Touch, although in many cases it still seems like EMMs have better support for Android Zero Touch whereas Samsung would prefer you use their in-house EMM. We would like to try using the Android Zero Touch enrollment as well. Unlike Samsung, it seems like I can't even register my own customer account. So my questions: is there any possible way to get just a Zero Touch customer account set up, with no devices added, when none of the resellers I actually bought a device from are Android partners? Also, is there some way I could get some of our Knox enrolled devices to use Zero Touch?
How to apply for Google Device Lock Controller?
We are a company specializing in providing financial services to low-income clients in buying all type of phones. Recently came across this app on Google Device Lock Controller and we understood this would help us a lot. I searched for how to apply to be a financial partner to be able to integrate it within our systems but maybe I am missing something. Can anyone suggest how I should conntact google for this service?
