Enable PDF viewing in kiosk mode

Hi, we’re trying to set up Android tablets in Hexnode Kiosk Mode for our team. The requirement is that users should be able to open and view PDF files directly from the kiosk. Could someone guide us on how to enable PDF viewing in this setup?

Hi all, I’ve got an Android tablet in kiosk mode that’s stuck in airplane mode. The kiosk exit passcode isn’t working on this device, though it works fine on my other tablets. Any suggestions to overcome this?

Is it possible to install apps silently on FireOS?

Hey, I wanted to know whether I can install apps on FireOS silently, like without any user intervention? I have a few devices which I intend to use for warehouse management, so it would be helpful if I could install on-the-go basically.

Hey, quick help needed. We use tablets in kiosk mode to take photos and then send those photos to a PC using Google Drive or Google Photos. But whenever we try to share a photo using Android’s share option, it doesn’t work — it just kicks us back to the main screen. How can we…

Devices flagged non‑compliant under default compliance policy

Hi all, I am seeing a compliance warning on my devices. It is related to the “Default Android Compliance policy”, but I never added that. The only thing I have configured is a geo‑fencing policy, and the devices are inside the office range. Why are they showing as non‑compliant?

Enabling developer option

Hi, I have a few Android tablets where I need to enable developer options. These devices are currently on kiosk policy. I don’t think I have the required pricing plan (like Ultra) to do this. Can someone help clarify?

Reset from BIOS, now the devices are ghosting the console

We had to factory reset a batch of Android devices directly from BIOS. The reset worked; devices are clean, but now the Hexnode portal is a different story. Every time we try to disenroll them, they just sit there in an enrolled state like nothing happened. We’re kind of stuck because they won’t fully clear…

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…

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.

Export SIM contacts remotely

Dear Hexnode, You already have the nice feature to import SIM contacts to an Android device and I love it! It would be even more great if you implement an export option to export the contacts of an Android device to a network location, preferable with a verify option to be sure that the contact…

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.
