Applying kiosk policy across Android devices

Hey folks, I was checking the Device Summary for one of my Android tablets and noticed the kiosk mode status says inactive. If I push a kiosk policy, will that status actually change?

Can we automate clearing app data?

We’ve got Android Enterprise devices running in Kiosk mode for warehouse staff. Users don’t log out of the corporate app properly, so the next shift ends up inheriting the previous session. Is there something in Hexnode to automate clearing app data in situations like this instead of manually triggering the remote action every time?

Allowlisted apps not showing on Android devices

Hey folks, Bit stuck here—our allowlisted apps aren’t showing up on devices or even in the Play Store. We’ve already set up the allowlist, so I’m kinda confused about what’s missing. Anyone seen this before?

App deployment issue in the scanners

Hey folks, I’ve got a zebra scanner running Android 14. I set an app as required with the policy, but it’s just not showing up on the device. Interesting thing is, the same app works fine on our other devices. Any idea what’s going on?

Unable to connect to Wi-Fi through policies

Hey folks, I’m running into something odd. I can’t connect to Wi-Fi on an Android device enrolled in Hexnode. Whenever I try, I get this message: “Security policy prevents changing settings.”. I checked my policy and Wi-Fi is allowed. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Can I install Hexnode APKs on Android devices without Play Store?

Hi everyone, I’ve recently started using Hexnode UEM for managing our company’s Android devices. Most of our phones and tablets are standard, but a few of them don’t have the Google Play Store installed. I was wondering, can we still install the Hexnode app as an APK on these devices? And in general, is it possible to push APK files…

Android Enterprise Setup Removed

Hi Team, We have accidentally removed our Android Enterprise setup from the Google Play Console. We now need to reconfigure the Android Enterprise integration with Hexnode to resume device enrollments. We currently have 267 devices enrolled and are concerned about losing management control or triggering a mass disenrollment 😬. Is there any way to recover the setup so…

How are app permissions and exact alarm access managed on Android?

Hi Team, I’m currently testing Android 10 and Android 14 devices enrolled in Hexnode and need to understand how to centrally manage the Alarm & Reminder (Exact Alarm) permission via policy. Specifically, I want to know if Hexnode supports standard Allow/Deny/Ask controls for this permission on Android 14, where the configuration resides within the portal, and if there are specific Android Enterprise limitations…

Blocking Copy/Paste Between Work & Personal Apps on Android

Hey all! We’ve already rolled out Android Enterprise with Work Profile through Hexnode, so work and personal apps are separated. Now we’re looking at tightening things further, specifically preventing users from copying data from work apps into personal apps. I noticed there’s a restriction under advanced settings for clipboard sharing. Has anyone implemented this? How effective is it in day-to-day use?

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…

View policy version history

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.

I see that you've populated the Category and Content Rating fields for iOS apps, and I find this very useful! The Play Store has similar fields, and I'd love to be able to access them inside Hexnode. I see that you have a place for this information in your API "Search Apps" results, but for…

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.

Android Schedule turn off / turn on /

For us it would be a very nice feature if we could schedule the device to be active in spesific time range. Either with scheduled power off and on, or schedlue the screen to be turned off or on at specific times.

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.
