Mock location on Android

Hi everyone. We recently discovered that some employees are changing their location on our company-owned Android devices. This affects our field staff tracking, as they are marking attendance and site visits without being there. Is there any way to prevent this?

We're transitioning from one mdm software to hexnode, and running into an issue with our Network Certificates.

Use keyboard for Android Remote Control

It would be beneficial if users could use their computer keyboards to type remotely on the device, rather than having to click on the virtual keyboard. This feature would allow me, and likely many other users, to stop using TeamViewer and consider upgrading to Ultimate.

Different Lock- and homescreen wallpapers

Hi, Is it possible to assign a different wallpaper to the lock screen than the one for the homescreen from the MDM? If not, is it possible to request the feature, because I am currently doing it by hand and that goes right until there is a policy update.
