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?

Hey folks! We have got the Drivewyze app installed on our drivers’ Android tablets for on-road operations, but several drivers are telling us they can’t enable the “Appear on top” permission in the app settings. Anyone run into this before?

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.

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.
