Need Assistance with Wallpaper Configuration on Fully Managed Android Devices
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to configure Android devices (specifically Samsung A7) as fully managed with a custom wallpaper for both the home and lock screens, using a launcher app.
I've set up a configuration policy under Device Restrictions > Device Experiences, with the experience type set to Microsoft Launcher (fully managed). I included the wallpaper URL, sized correctly to the device’s pixel resolution. However, the image appears zoomed in on the home screen and lock screen.
Interestingly, when I tested the same setup in Kiosk mode, the image displays correctly on the home screen, but it doesn’t apply to the lock screen. In contrast, the Microsoft Launcher (fully managed) setup does apply the wallpaper to both screens, but the image is zoomed in on the home screen.
Does anyone have suggestions for fixing this issue? I'd consider using Kiosk mode if it allowed setting the lock screen image as well, but it only sets the home screen. Additionally, I’m unable to get the camera app to appear in Kiosk mode.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Yeah i've had the same issue.
I prefer using the Kiosk Mode as I need my users to sign in to shared devices, and I published the Camera app as an app in Intune (that enables you to add it to the Kiosk mode screen).
I then set a session PIN on the MHS which means that all users need to use their pin to unlock the device. It works well. BUT.....the issue i have is that the wallpaper and screen timeout defaults to 30sec. Even though I have it set in the config policy (or the MHS app config) to be longer, it still only does 30 sec.
Anyway, I dont have a resolution to your problem re the main screen lock wallpaper. Have your tried using the Samsung Knox OEM config and setting it in there?
All i know from all the work I'm doing on it, between config policies, app config policies, OEM configurations....it's very hard to work out which does what.
