I can't see why using a scheduled task every minute will cause excessive data consumption.  But launching an app every 30 seconds will  likely drain the device battery very soon.

Please clarify your use case.

What exactly is your application going to do within the 30 seconds after it is launched?  Will it exit/terminate  within seconds (i.e. much shorter than the 30-second re-launch interval)?

You still can enter admin mode even if device is in single app mode. Yes, it's a somehow bad solution to draw that ^ on the screen to get the prompt but works.

But in anyway Raymonds question matters, so please tell us why you think to need to do such task.

Hello ,

"You still can enter admin mode even if device is in single app mode. Yes, it's a somehow bad solution to draw that ^ on the screen to get the prompt but works."

> I don't understand if I press the back button when the application is launched nothing happens, but it works when we are on the kiosk screen (the prompt Actions with administrator appears).

How can i draw that ^ on the screen ?

"What exactly is your application going to do within the 30 seconds after it is launched?  Will it exit/terminate  within seconds (i.e. much shorter than the 30-second re-launch interval)?"

I just need the application to be running all the time.
These devices are completely dedicated to this application. The user sometimes doesn't even bother to relaunch the application, by clicking the item (and says it doesn't work).

Nothing will happen after 30 seconds if the application is launched. I just need the delay to be short so that the user waits.
This application can crash from time to time if the network reception is poor, so it saves us a lot of trouble.

To enter administrator mode while using Single App Mode, you can follow the instruction described in the Soti forum article at

thank you both for this tip which I didn't know.

Unfortunately, I'm still trying to improve my kiosk in single app mode, as it still hasn't convinced my management.

Thanks for your help

Hello again, 

The solution of drawing a ^ to access the parameters (admin mode) is unfortunately not possible in my use case.

My problem remains unsolved.
My application has to launch at startup and relaunch if closed.
But we also need to have a way of accessing the terminal settings if it's off the network.

> Kiosk with single app mode : launch/relaunch application OK
- but no acces to admin mode
> Kiosk without single app mode : launch application at start OK  acces to admin mode OK 
- Application is not relaunched if closed

Do you have any idea about the best way to do this ?

Thanks for your help
