Hi everyone, I’m trying to enable the personal hotspot on my Android device that’s locked down in kiosk mode with Hexnode. I’ve been looking around but can’t find any way to turn it on. Does anyone know how to get this working?

I cannot find the App Usage options

Hi, I wanted to enable the App Usage Management settings for my Android devices, but I cannot find it anywhere. I was searching under the policies for Android. Am I missing something here?

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?

Device reset

Hey everyone, I have a couple of Android tablets that are being issued to customers. Unfortunately, an applied policy disabled Wi-Fi and USB file transfer, which means the devices no longer have network connectivity and policies cannot be updated or removed. When booting into recovery mode, the only available option is wiping the cache; the…

Unattended remote access

Hi, I have installed Hexnode as Device Owner on our Android devices using adb shell. The installation works fine, but I’m facing an issue with remote control. After every device reboot, the accessibility permission for remote control resets, and I have to manually tap “Request Control” again on the device. This defeats the purpose of…

Duplicate device entries created after Factory reset

We are managing a fleet of Android tablets and recently noticed duplicate device entries appearing in the Hexnode console after users perform a factory reset on their devices. The duplicate records show the same serial number, which is impacting our device count and license usage. From an operational standpoint, if a user resets a tablet…

Android Enterprise Profile Owner enrollment failing with Google Workspace authentication

Hey everyone, I’m posting this on behalf of our admin team because we’ve hit a blocker while enrolling Samsung devices as Profile Owner using Android Enterprise. Here’s what’s happening in our setup: We’re enforcing authentication using Google Workspace during enrollment. The flow starts off fine — we install Hexnode for Work, scan the Profile Owner…

Is it possible to disable hardware buttons and status bar in android kiosk mode?

Hey everyone! I want to disable the hardware buttons on an Android tablet (power and volume) and hide the notification bar so I can run a custom app in kiosk mode. The app should auto-launch on reboot, and users shouldn’t be able to swipe past the lock screen. Is this possible?

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.
