Wi-Fi switching option grayed out in Android Kiosk mode. Am I missing something?

Hi everyone,  We’re managing a few Android devices in Multi-App Kiosk Mode, and I noticed something odd while configuring the policy.  In Peripheral Settings, the option that allows users to manage Wi-Fi settings is grayed out, so users can’t manually switch networks on the device. This becomes a bit of an issue when the device struggles to roam between different access points.  I tried editing the policy…

How to prevent unauthorized setting changes and enable remote repair for Zebra/Honeywell fleets?

Hi everyone. I’m looking for some advice on managing our fleet of Zebra and Honeywell ruggedized devices once they’re out on the warehouse floor. We’re having some trouble with staff changing device settings, which keeps disrupting our operations. Also, if a device runs into issues in another state, is there a way to manage and fix it through Hexnode without having to send someone out there?

Anyone using automated remote actions for Android log collection?

We just started looking into the Automate feature for remote actions, specifically for gathering Android bug reports across our logistics fleet. Historically, when a driver reports a device crash, we have to manually trigger a log collection, wait for the device to be online, and then pull the data. By the time we get the logs, the "smoking gun"…

Keeping location history clean

Hi all, Quick question. When an employee leaves the company or when we retire one of our field Android phones, we usually clear out the device data from the portal. One thing I was wondering about is location history. Is there a way to remove a device’s location history automatically from the portal?

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…

Currently, we have a centralized WiFi policy where all the WiFi data of our clients are (there are roughly 50 SSIDs in the policy). With the current view, you can only see a maximum of five SSIDs and do not have a search function. Is it possible to make a feature request for the following…

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.
