Exit kiosk mode

Hello team, I have an issue with two Android devices that are stuck in kiosk mode. Both devices indicate that the Wi‑Fi is active and that there is internet connectivity, but they do not respond to the disenroll command that is pushed from the Hexnode console.  The odd part is that the last check‑in timestamp shows 23 days ago, which is in direct contradiction to the…

Adding a PIN layer for an app in single-app kiosk mode

We’re using single-app kiosk mode, and the experience is exactly what we want except for one thing. The app launches straight away, which is great for usability, but in some scenarios, we’d like one extra layer of control before users can access it. Think of it like a quick checkpoint before the app opens. Is…

Tap and Swipe Gesture in kiosk peripheral settings??

Guys, I’m messing around with the Hexnode kiosk settings for some Android OS running tablets I’d bought. I see this option for "Tap & Swipe gesture" in the Peripheral settings for Android kiosk in the Hexnode portal. It says I have to tap 3 times and swipe down to open settings? Why wouldn't I just use the "Floating Icon" option? It puts a button right on the screen. Seems way easier.

Authenticator app crashes with ‘Access Denied’ when opening screen lock in kiosk mode

Hey everyone, I’m running into an issue on one of our Android devices in kiosk mode. We’re testing an authenticator app with passkeys/passwordless login. The app requires setting a screen lock to complete the login, but when the screen lock settings are opened, it shows “access denied” and the app crashes immediately. Has anyone run…

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?

Navigation bar keeps showing after reboot in Kiosk mode. Any fix?

Hey everyone! We’re running Single App Kiosk with the Hexnode Kiosk Browser on Android, and we’re seeing an issue after a reboot. When the device restarts, the navigation bar shows up at the bottom for a bit, and sometimes users can swipe it up and keep it there. This ruins the full screen kiosk setup.…

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…

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…

Kiosk App - Device ID

In the report section under Application Reports/Popular Applications, when clicking on the "View Installed Devices" eye it would be great to be able to see the Device ID in the panel.  Better still it would be great to be able to export this panel In essence, what I want to know, in particular for a…
