Hexnode MDM app crashing in kiosk mode

We’re running a multi-app kiosk and after some time the kiosk just dies. The Hexnode MDM app seems to stop working and doesn’t come back unless we manually fix it.  This is a big issue for us because the kiosk is supposed to run 24/7. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?

Remote Sessions Supercharged: Control More Devices at Once

Remote View used to allow only one active session at a time, and trying to access a second device would show a “session already exists” message. That restriction is gone, making multitasking effortless.…

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…

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.

Feature Request - Reset Users Data Allowance

Being able to reset an individual users data usage in the event they have reached the policy data limit would be useful. We have occasions where users reach their limit before the end of the month and sometimes we are ok for them to use more, we cant just reset their device stats to unblock…

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.
