When your Android device is in lockdown mode with access to only allowed applications and no access to device settings, it is quite possible that after a certain period of time with extensive usage, the device may show signs of not operating up to its potential level. The device could become slow, the Wi-Fi function may get patchy or worse, there may be high battery drainage, and so on.
There could be many such common issues that can be fixed by a simple reboot. A reboot could clear the cache to counter the slow processing, close services or applications running in the background that might be eating away at the battery life, or restore a lost WiFi connection. However, if you are using Mobile Device Management solutions like SureMDM to monitor and push jobs to your devices, sometimes they need a reboot for the changed settings to come into effect.
Now, SureLock allows you to schedule a reboot of your Samsung KNOX-enabled devices with signature permissions. You can simply create a reboot plan for a specific day and time for your kiosks, field devices, or any Android devices with SureLock.
