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?

Remote Actions that work in Kiosk mode for ChromeOS devices

Hey everyone, I recently purchased a few Chromebooks that I intend to use at my hotel’s reception for check-ins. I have tried Kiosk mode in ChromeOS vaguely for some of the existing Chromebooks in my organization, but I would like to know more about the remote actions I can perform through Hexnode in my devices, so that I can fully leverage my new devices for my purpose. Can anybody help me?

Toast notifications won’t leave my Kiosk screen

Hey folks, We’ve run into a funny yet annoying issue on some of our Android kiosks. Certain toast notifications (those tiny pop-ups at the bottom) just refuse to disappear and stay stuck until we reboot the device. 😐 We can’t disable “Display dialogs/windows” or the status bar options using Hexnode because our kiosk app needs…

App configuration for Hexnode Kiosk Browser

Hey everyone, I’m managing Android tablets in a school where students are taking exams. I need to make sure they can’t use Incognito mode to bypass browsing restrictions during the test. Is there a way to completely disable Incognito mode in Hexnode Kiosk Browser?

Update and install app in kiosk – Android?

Okay, here’s my situation. I need our android devices to automatically install and update enterprise apps through Hexnode without any user interaction. The devices are locked in kiosk mode, and I really don’t want to share the kiosk password with users. I am pretty new to Hexnode, so any guidance would honestly help a lot.

Hello! It is possible to automate the process of sending Remote ring when the device battery level is too low? (in KIOSK mode, Android Enterprise) For example, if device battery is lower than 20%, Hexnode send notification to email and automatically send Remote ring with prepared template to the device. Best regards,
