Help Prevent settings changes in android

[Fhillip]

Good day,

My company uses an Android 4.2.2 rugged phone to capture meter numbers in the field.

My question is, how can I limit the user of the device to not be able to change any settings on the device since most of the users are not tech savvy users?

Is there an application to do that since the phone does not have any such functions?

The current problem is that the users remove the company google ID and sets up their own rendering our work application useless. Some of them even uninstall the work application and installs games and other harmful software leaving them unable to work. We have more than 60+ devices in the field making this a full day job just checking up on them.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated!

Maybe take a look at 'Surelock Kiosk Lockdown':

There are other similar solutions if you do an online search for something like 'Android kiosk mode' too.

Thanx I will give it a try..

I did try AppLocker before but the problem came in when I did remote support and I have to bypass the applocker program to get to settings I had to type a code to unlock. This code was shown on screen momentarily before it was encrypted so the user could see the code...
