Time monitoring and limit using Android

Archive

Hi,

 

New to the product, I'm currently testing it on the Android (ICS 4.0) of my daughter

- History of web browsing is working very well !

- Blocking pages too :-) ! (including warning mails)

- Search tab stay empty, even if we "google" some pages : is it normal (the google page is logged in the web history)

- Usage of Android applications not : it is reserved to the "premium" version, isn't it ?

- Time usage and limit ..... not working ....

Is it a (current) limitation of Minder for Android ?

I have set time limit ranges : the Android is usable outside of the limits.

I have set a max usage of 1h / day : nothing happen, no warning mail sent, no warning / blocking messages on the screen.

 

Should I configure something else ?

Thanks for help !

Eric

Katie,

 

Thanks for so quick answer !

But I don't understand : you point me to the Android app to configure (administrate) the "Familly security settings". I'm right ?

I'm searching how can I activate the time usage monitoring on my daughter device : see how much time she is on her device and block the device after 1 hour.

How can I do this ?

Hi RicD,

 

Thanks for the update.  From the description in the link I sent you, it shows for time limits, the program allows the parents to turn time monitoring on or off on the mobile,

 

Time Limits: Gives you the option of turning time monitoring on or off

 

The feature monitoring time usages for mobile is being developed currently.

 

 

Thanks,

Katie

"The feature monitoring time usages for mobile is being developed currently."

That's the answer I was searching for : the feature will be available in future release.

(just to avoid me searching for hours without results).

 

Next question, and I know it is a tricky one : any idea about a planning ? It is a feature that I am (and probably most of us) really interested in ....

 

Thanks,

Eric

Hi RicD,

 

Thanks for the post.  I agree.  The question is a "tricky" one :smileyhappy:.   I'm sorry I can't provide a release date yet as the team is working on some new features and Android updates. 

 

When the feature is available, we will announce it on the Norton Online Family website.

 

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask us in the forum.

 

Thanks,

Katie
