    		 The decimal field displays incorrectly on the mobile action function on Android devices Users are unable to update decimal fields for numbers greater than 7 digits using the mobile action. Long numbers don't appear correctly in the UI parameter in the mobile app. For example, if the value is 1,375,316,476, it shows as 1.375316476E9. Also, the app stops working when trying to edit the value.

    		 The instance is not redirecting to the SSO login page after the session timeout on Android devices The SSO redirection is not working on Android devices after the session timeout. After the session times out, the local login page appears on the screen and it is not redirecting to the SSO login page. Users don't have an option to enter the SSO credentials unless they log out from the app completely.
    1. Install the ITSM Mobile plugin.
    2. Create an applet URL with the URL pointing to /sp.
    3. Configure a new navigation tab for the mobile app.
    4. Configure an ALP for the navigation tab with the applet URL created in Step 2.
    5. Make sure that the navigation tab created in Step 3 is the first tab on the mobile app.
    6. Configure SSO for the instance.
    7. Set the session timeout property glide.ui.session_timeout to 3 minutes.
    8. On the mobile app, log in to the instance using the SSO credentials with an Android device.

      The Service Portal page loads (/sp URL is configured for the ALP).

    9. Wait for 3 minutes as the session timeout property glide.ui.session _timeout is set to 3 minutes.
    10. Click Knowledge Base or Request Something.

    Expected behavior: The page should redirect to the SSO login page.

    Actual behavior: The page redirects to SP local login page and is not redirecting to the SSO login page. It loops through the SP login page.

    		 Field changes in the Activity Stream that include HTML tags are displayed in plain text Field changes in the Activity Stream that include HTML tags are displayed in plain text. This is inconsistent with the Activity Stream in Desktop UI.

http://www.servicenow.com/support/contact-support.html</a>[/code]
