Enabling system apps (Camera, Gallery) and WhatsApp on Android Enterprise

Hi everyone, I need some guidance on enabling a few specific apps for our Android devices. I want to allow users to access the Camera, Gallery, and WhatsApp.  Currently, all of these seem to be disabled or hidden by Hexnode by default. For context, we are enrolling these devices via Android Enterprise. How do I get these…

Windows App Usage Monitoring

Hi, I’m trying to understand how to monitor app usage on Windows devices using Hexnode. Specifically, I’m looking to see how long a particular application is being used or whether it’s actively running on devices. Is there a way to get this kind of data?

Automatic Offboarding

Hi, we’re working with BYOD devices and want to keep things minimal. The requirement is to monitor only the Outlook application without managing or tracking anything else on the Android device. Additionally, when an employee leaves the organization, we want to ensure that Outlook is automatically removed or the user is logged out, without affecting…

Zero touch, staging and more?

Hey, is anyone actually doing zero touch and staging, end-to-end in real life? Like pre-configuring devices, assigning policies, apps, everything before the user even touches it. Sounds great in theory, but feels like one of those things that looks clean in docs but messy in practice.

Devices being flagged as non-compliant (even with required apps)

Hey guys, could use some help here. A bunch of our iPads are getting flagged as non-compliant in the portal. The weird thing is, they definitely have the 3 required apps installed, so application compliance shouldn't be the issue.  I was looking through our compliance config and I'm wondering if it's the passcode requirement tripping it up. Should I just remove the password rule from the list? Anyone run…

Is there a quota on the app update pushes to devices?

Hey everyone, Quick question, when pushing updates to a Local Store App, is there any kind of limit or throttling on how many devices get the update at once? We’ve got about 600 devices. The update went through fine initially and reached around 310 devices, but now it’s basically crawling, increasing by just 1–2 devices…

Update option in HexNode UEM App Catalog software

The UEM application App Catalog is aware of the software being installed, and is aware of the current version of software. It would be nice if there was a button that could be clicked in the App Catalog that would allow you to update the software. I spoke with support today and their recommendation was…

Feature request: Enable custom scripts auto-trigger for the new group members.

We're currently trying to create a proper Windows PC onboarding mechanics. During this phase we need to have several applications installed depending on a group membership. Because of the Hexnode limitations we aren't able to properly configure auto-deployment for some applications. Those ones can be installed via ps1 script for sure, but we need to…

IOS Auto App Updates

We would like the feature to allow IOS apps to auto update. The current methods do not work reliably or scale well. We have tried relying on the devices to have the apps auto update and it does not work. Making an app mandatory does work but it is not feasible to scale. We would…

IOS Auto App Updates

We need an auto update feature for non mandatory applications or a way for users to update applications from the app catalog? This is a major pain point from our previous mdm. We can not feasibly make all the different apps mandatory for all the different users needs. We would end up with hundreds of…
