How does Hexnode manage devices on mobile data or Wi-Fi?

Hey team! Quick question: are there any limitations when using unlocked phones on mobile data instead of Wi-Fi? I’m thinking about remote employees who might not always be on office Wi-Fi.

Passcode protected kiosk

Hi folks, One of our Android devices in kiosk mode runs a sensitive application in a location where physical security can’t really be guaranteed. Is there any way to enforce a password on the kiosk? Also, then have the kiosk to automatically lock after a certain amount of time, or when a period of inactivity…

Need to keep Android demo phones passcode-free, but compliance says no

Hey everyone, Quick one, we have Android demo phones deployed in a big mall. They’re tethered to security tags, so we don’t want any passcode or password set (staff need quick access for demos). But the devices keep showing “Device not compliant”. Is there a way to exempt these demo devices from the compliance policy…

Remote view stuck on loading and disconnecting - Samsung Knox tablets

Hey everyone, I’m having trouble using remote view on a couple of Samsung Knox tablets enrolled in Hexnode UEM. The devices are of Android versions 15 and 12. Whenever I try to start a session, the remote view session gets stuck on “loading” and then disconnects automatically after a few seconds. I’ve tried refreshing the…

Wear OS connection issue - Samsung Watch 7 keeps disconnecting from paired phone.

Hey everyone, We’re working with a healthcare client who wants to use Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (Wear OS) for patient monitoring. The problem is that the watch keeps disconnecting from the paired Android phone, which breaks the data sync. Has anyone found a way to keep that connection stable?

Device Admin v/s Device Owner—how do the MDM app privileges differ for them?

Hey everyone, can someone clarify what privileges an MDM app gets when a device is enrolled as Device Admin versus Device Owner? I understand both give management access, but what exactly changes for the app itself?

Wi-Fi hotspot under peripheral settings not working as expected

Hey everyone! I wanted to share something we have encountered with Android 16 devices in kiosk mode. When we try to enable the Wi-Fi Hotspot through the peripheral settings, it turns on but immediately turns off again. However, once we exit kiosk mode, the hotspot stays on and works as expected. We have noticed the…

Toast notifications won’t leave my Kiosk screen

Hey folks, We’ve run into a funny yet annoying issue on some of our Android kiosks. Certain toast notifications (those tiny pop-ups at the bottom) just refuse to disappear and stay stuck until we reboot the device. 😐 We can’t disable “Display dialogs/windows” or the status bar options using Hexnode because our kiosk app needs…

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.

Advanced Passcode Options Solved

Setting up the passcode options good for security however, is it possible to have advanced features implemented which allow for the device security to be further heightened such as: Passcodes cannot be 111111, 123456, 654321 and any other simple and guessable passcodes. Change the timing on when the user is prompted to add or change…

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.
