Android Enterprise QR Enrollment with WPA2-Enterprise Wi-Fi

Hey everyone, we’re currently rolling out Android Enterprise device owner enrollment using the 6-tap QR method, and we’ve run into a challenge when the deployment environment uses WPA2-Enterprise Wi-Fi. During enrollment, the device tries to connect to the corporate Wi-Fi network, but authentication fails because the Root CA certificate required for WPA2-Enterprise isn’t yet installed on the device. In the normal Android Wi-Fi setup UI,…

Automate Lock Device

Hi folks, we’ve had a few instances where our Android devices get misplaced during field operations. Is there a way to make them lock automatically if they go inactive?

Wi-Fi switching option grayed out in Android Kiosk mode. Am I missing something?

Hi everyone, We’re managing a few Android devices in Multi-App Kiosk Mode, and I noticed something odd while configuring the policy. In Peripheral Settings, the option that allows users to manage Wi-Fi settings is grayed out, so users can’t manually switch networks on the device. This becomes a bit of an issue when the device struggles to roam between different access points. I tried editing the policy…

Wi-Fi in kiosk mode

Hi everyone, our Android devices are locked down in single‑app kiosk mode, but users can’t access Wi‑Fi settings. This is a problem when they move between sites and need to connect to local networks. Is there a way to let them search and connect to Wi‑Fi without breaking kiosk?

Page alignment issues in web app kiosk mode

Hey everyone, I’m trying to run a website in web app kiosk mode on an Android TV (TCL Smart TV). When the website loads in Hexnode Browser Lite, some elements on the page appear misaligned. Just wondering if anyone else has run into something like this or knows a workaround.

How to prevent unauthorized setting changes and enable remote repair for Zebra/Honeywell fleets?

Hi everyone. I’m looking for some advice on managing our fleet of Zebra and Honeywell ruggedized devices once they’re out on the warehouse floor. We’re having some trouble with staff changing device settings, which keeps disrupting our operations. Also, if a device runs into issues in another state, is there a way to manage and fix it through Hexnode without having to send someone out there?

Remote view requires user confirmation on some Android devices

Whenever we try to start a remote view session on one of our Android devices, the user has to manually approve the connection on the device. However, we’re able to remotely access some of our other devices without any confirmation from the user. Is there a setting we might have missed that allows unattended remote view?

Add ability to update or create apps with manifest paths

Hey team, We sadly use custom ROM flashed android devices that don't allow us to own them through android enterprise the classic way. This means our options for automated deployment are slim, as you don't offer a way to upload .apk files directly to your API for distribution. Due to this restriction, it…

Policies are aware of their version but it's not possible to compare two different versions to understand what was changed. Please add a support to compare two versions of a policy and compare two policies for differences.

Control enrollment type without scanning a QR code

We're transitioning from one mdm software to hexnode, and running into an issue with our Network Certificates. If there was a way to specify enrollment type without having the scan the QR code to ensure that the devices are going to Android Enterprise mode so we can push the cert, that would be incredibly helpful.…

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.
