I have been deploying kiosk devices (Samsung - various tablets and phones) very successfully. One "quirk" that has become a bit of an issue with some of the devices is the fact that after the Android devices upgrade to Android 9.0; the power button no longer works as far as bringing up the Power Dialogue UI. Power off and Restart are no longer possible. This means devices not in use have to be boxed and stored while powered on. The only way to power off the devices is to exit/pause Kiosk mode and then the dialogue appears and one is able to shut the devices down.
This is not an issue for the devices held at site but for those already deployed; revealing that escape passkey to users actually defeats the whole reason for having one in the first place. Could you shed any light on this, have you heard rumbles on this already?
Kind Regards
