Exit kiosk mode

Hello team, I have an issue with two Android devices that are stuck in kiosk mode. Both devices indicate that the Wi‑Fi is active and that there is internet connectivity, but they do not respond to the disenroll command that is pushed from the Hexnode console. The odd part is that the last check‑in timestamp shows 23 days ago, which is in direct contradiction to the…

Adding a PIN layer for an app in single-app kiosk mode

We’re using single-app kiosk mode, and the experience is exactly what we want except for one thing. The app launches straight away, which is great for usability, but in some scenarios, we’d like one extra layer of control before users can access it. Think of it like a quick checkpoint before the app opens. Is…

Tap and Swipe Gesture in kiosk peripheral settings??

Guys, I’m messing around with the Hexnode kiosk settings for some Android OS running tablets I’d bought. I see this option for "Tap & Swipe gesture" in the Peripheral settings for Android kiosk in the Hexnode portal. It says I have to tap 3 times and swipe down to open settings? Why wouldn't I just use the "Floating Icon" option? It puts a button right on the screen. Seems way easier.

Custom homepage not loading in Edge Single App Kiosk Mode

Hi all, I’ve set a custom homepage for Microsoft Edge using a script. However, when Edge is launched in Single App Kiosk Mode, it always opens the default page instead of the configured homepage. When the kiosk policy is removed and Edge is opened using the same kiosk user account, the correct homepage loads as…

Xiaomi Tablet kiosk mode activation error

We’ve got a bunch of Xiaomi tablets we're trying to put into kiosk mode. I’ve configured the policy and pushed it into the devices. However, when we hit the Enable Kiosk Mode action from the Hexnode portal, nothing happens on the device. The kiosk only starts up after someone presses the power button on the device-end and swipes up. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem and put the devices into kiosk mode?

Configuring Vol in kiosk

We have a requirement where the volume on devices enrolled in kiosk mode needs to stay fixed at all times. We don’t want officers using the device to accidentally or intentionally lower the volume. Our deployment relies on high volume for emergency alerts in a prison environment, so this is critical for officer safety.

Does factory reset restriction needs Knox Management Enrollment ?

Hey quick question. If I want to block factory reset using the advanced restriction policy, do I need to enroll the device in the Knox portal too, or is having the required Knox version enough?

What are the capabilities of setting up a kiosk wallpaper?

I've seen setups where companies use their logos on devices used for retail displays, check-in kiosks, or information screens. Is this something that can be done with Hexnode?

Hey folks, I’m managing a bunch of Lenovo tablets on Android 14. I added a web app in Kiosk mode using Hexnode Browser Lite, but there’s this annoying white bar showing at the top. Tried the Hexnode Kiosk Browser too, but same issue. What is this white bar anyway?

'Clear apps from background when user leaves the app' option not working

Hello, I want a functionality where, in kiosk mode, if the user exits the app, the app should be killed off and reopening it should start the app from the beginning. I actually found a similar option in Hexnode called 'Clear apps from background when user leaves the app', but when I tried it, it…

Send remote ring when the battery is low

Hello! It is possible to automate the process of sending Remote ring when the device battery level is too low? (in KIOSK mode, Android Enterprise) For example, if device battery is lower than 20%, Hexnode send notification to email and automatically send Remote ring with prepared template to the device. Best regards,

Wildcards and pre-defined categories for website blacklists

As the title implies, it would be nice to see wildcards enabled/allowed for websites for broader black and white listing. I guess it may only be applicable to kiosk mode browser black/white lists, but I would like to whitelist domains by wildcard (e.g. *google.com) instead of having to whitelist all applicable subdomains for the parent…

So if I set and push a policy to a device, if there is more than kiosk mode - disabling kiosk mode doesn't help a whole lot for the administrative side of things. So under the action menu there should be an administrator mode and user mode. User mode being with the policy - Administrator…

Volume in Kiosk Floating Control Bar

The tablet that we are using for a kiosk does not have a physically accessible volume control. It would be great to have a volume slider - similar to the screen brightness slider.

When the device is locked in kiosk mode, an icon batch would be a great way to illustrate to the user of a new messege or missed call etc.

Add a column under Manage > Devices

There should be a column that you can select that will show you which devices are in Kiosk Mode and which are not.

Managed Browser

It would be great to have a browser, Hexnode Browser, or otherwise that can be managed from the dashboard. A browser that can restrict bookmark editing, the installation of extensions, adding accounts etc. One that can have a homepage pushed out to it, as well as managed bookmarks.

Kiosk Policy Screen Rotation

Hello, I would like the ability to choose which orientation the app is displayed in kiosk mode. Currently, you can disable rotation. However, this just locks the rotation in the current state (at least for iOS). I believe there should be a dropdown next to this checkbox that allows you to chose from; 90…
