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?

Hey everyone, I’m in a bit of a bind with one of our Android devices. The device is currently stuck on the lock screen showing: “Too many incorrect unlock attempts.

Does anyone know how to stop users from disabling mobile data on corporate Androids ?

Hi Team, Is there a way to prevent users from turning off mobile data on managed Android devices? Our requirement is to ensure that mobile data remains enabled at all times and that users cannot disable it from device settings.

Advanced website kiosk using Chrome

Hi all, We’re setting up a few Android tablets in kiosk mode for our retail stores. The plan is to use Chrome as a web app and restrict users so they can only access our product catalog site. One concern, some of our documents (brochures, warranty info) are hosted as PDFs on the same domain.…

Tracking Active Hours for Macs & Androids

Hey everyone! My team is looking for a way to track daily active hours for our fleet. We’re using a mix of Macs and Android devices. Is there a specific policy or report in the Hexnode portal that can pull this data for us?

Locked out of devices due to factory reset

We’re trying to factory reset a batch of company Samsung Knox devices. Problem is, we have deployed restrictive policies earlier that block mobile data and Wi-Fi. Now the devices can’t connect to the internet, and we’re also locked out of resetting them because of the restriction. What’s the best way forward here?

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.
