Chromecast devices randomly exiting Kiosk Mode

We’re using Chromecast devices and managing them via Hexnode UEM in kiosk mode. Lately, we’ve noticed that the devices randomly exit kiosk mode and land on the Android home screen. The only way to recover is to restart the device, which obviously isn’t ideal for a setup that’s supposed to be hands-off. Has anyone seen this before or figured out what causes it?

PDF Access Issue in Kiosk Mode

Hi everyone, we’re using Android devices in kiosk mode through Hexnode UEM. Recently, we noticed that PDF files stopped opening on these devices. Whenever users try to open a PDF, they get an “access denied” message.

The kiosk website keeps refreshing in iPad

 Hi all, the web app kiosk configured in our iPads keeps on malfunctioning! The website we have added just keeps refreshing and losing the login tokens, so our employees keep getting signed out. Then once the website refreshes, it shows that it is blocked, even though it is added as an allowlisted URL. Is this an issue with the Hexnode Browser?

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…
