October 20, 20223 yr My son has a Redmi Note 8 Pro How can he have unlimited use of the phoen when the time limit is set to 30 minutes The app is next to useless I have tried uninstalling and installing the app several times, still no luck I tried contacting customer support. They were not much help asking me to perform a long string of tests and email. This is supposed to the premium version . why doesnt it work?
October 20, 20223 yr Same issue here. The timer is only effective once they exit an app/go back to the Home Screen or prune the screen off. Then the lock out appears. It doesn’t kick him out of the apps which is the whole point.

What is the MIUI version - go to Phone, Settings, About or About Phone, Version or Software Version? In the second image you've posted, Reports shows 30 minutes, can you open that for us & post the next screen please? On (your) child's Redmi, how has Manage apps battery usage for the KSK app, been configured? Did you actually do the " long string of tests" that support requested? Did support give you an incident reference number & is the case still open? How is Settings configured? Has Admin / Developer or Root permission been applied on the Redmi? Thank you? Flood?+?

How KSK is supposed to work, when the time duration has expired, the entire phone interface is supposed to change & only apps that the parent has explicitly permitted or the KSK designated safety apps - phone (for example), should be visible. Have you also raised the issues with Support, IF "yes", what have they said please? Is the device also a Redmi - if "yes", please provide MIUI version? Please post back? Thank you? Flood?+?

October 22, 20223 yr I have sane issue. Daughter can just kerp using apps/games after expired allowed time. She has a One Plus. Also it would be nice to ban all apps collectively, not individually. And set an option that the child has to get permission before installing new inappropriate apps. None if these exits or if the do, they dont work!!

Also it would be nice to ban all apps collectively, not individually. And set an option that the child has to get permission before installing new inappropriate apps. Hello @Gerd Nielsen, Welcome! Kaspersky have an advisory for Oppo devices: "We do not recommend installing Kaspersky Safe Kids in the child mode on Oppo devices. Installed on Oppo as on a parent's device, the application works correctly." (ioo), this may also apply to One Plus devices, Oppo & One Plus parent co is BBK Electronics? Possibly KSK has not been installed/configured correctly or perhaps the One Plus has also not been configured as per KSK requirements, IF KSK is Premium, not Free, please log a case with Kaspersky support, fill in either Chat or Email, select Application malfunction, Other template, in the Description of the issue section, give a detailed history; include all screen print(s); support may request logs, traces & other data; they will guide you. & 3. Both are good suggestions, however, unfortunately, not possible with KSK current version, when you discuss the app not working with support you may wish to log this with them at the same time, they will create a Feedback, Suggestion request & submit it for evaluation. Please share the outcome with the Community, when it's available? Thank you? Flood?+? Edited October 22, 20223 yr by Flood and Flood's wife
November 4, 20223 yr Author Dear Flood & Flood's wife I have done the reports that Kaspersky have asked to do before. no luckj They still asked me to keep doing the same repeated tests, no luck It is clear that there is a problem with the product, where other users are facing similar issues What is the point of paying for a paying for a premium product when its not doing what it is supposed to , even the most basic feature of blocking the phone after restricted time has elapsed Most of the parents are not that technical minded to send detailed crash logs and reports. they just want to pay for a 'premium product' and for it to work

Hello @tarzan977, Thank you for posting back & the information! Did support provide an incident reference number & is the case still open? IF support is asking you to repeat tests & are not explaining why, ask them the purpose of the repeat tests? Even tho other people may appear to have the same issue, it's cannot necessarily be assumed that the root cause is the same, simply because there are so many factors that may be contributing, however, we do agree, the troubleshooting process can be frustrating & laborious, especially if it's not explained or appears to lack purpose. We also agree almost everybody would rather be doing anything else than collecting/sending logs/data, however, support do not have x-ray vision, and they do analyze each case on a case-by-case basis. The bottom line is, the KSK experts are available to support you because you've paid a Premium subscription; they're the ones that need to explain what is causing the problem? Thank you? Flood?+?

We understand the process is frustrating & it feels very unfair to have paid for software that does not work as it should, we've been thru it many times, but, they are the only ones who can help, so it's important to work with them - from this side, we can guide you, so hopefully the issue gets fixed sooner rather than later. Please read everything we write very carefully: Please post back - the Incident reference number logged with support; it begins with INC0000? The Vivo OS version & MIUI - follow this guide to find the information: How to find the version of your operating system -> select For Android users? KSK version, follow this guide: How to find out which version of Kaspersky Safe Kids is installed on your device? Please post back? Thank you? Flood?+?

October 24, 20232 yr Hi! Thank you for trying to help! Unfortunately nothing helped... I did EVERYTHING the Kaspersky support team asked me to, even changing the device. After many many many lost hours I will change the app. And I did not receive any a "sorry" from them... Best regards!
