Restart a Supervised Device Remotely from Your Dashboard
Device Restart from Dashboard lets you send a reboot command to a supervised Android device directly from the TheOneSpy dashboard — resolving sync issues, applying configuration changes, or recovering a frozen device from the dashboard.
What Device Restart from Dashboard Does
Device Restart from Dashboard sends a reboot command to a supervised Android device from your TheOneSpy dashboard. The device restarts on receipt of the command — clearing temporary states, refreshing network connections, and re-establishing the TheOneSpy sync.
This is primarily a maintenance and troubleshooting action — useful when a device has stopped syncing, an app or process has become unresponsive, or a configuration change requires a restart to take effect.
Device Restart from Dashboard is available on Android. It is not available on iOS due to platform restrictions.
Dashboard-Issued Reboot
Send a reboot command from any browser — dashboard-based access, no carrier involvement.
Sync Recovery Tool
Resolves monitoring sync failures caused by network issues, frozen states, or background process problems.
Queued for Offline Devices
Reboot commands queue for offline devices and execute on reconnection.
Full Command Log
Every restart command logged with device, timestamp, and account details.
How Parents Use Device Restart from Dashboard
Parents use Device Restart from Dashboard when a managed device has stopped syncing or appears unresponsive — restoring monitoring connectivity without needing to physically locate the device.
Restoring a Monitoring Sync
When a child's device stops reporting to the dashboard — common after a network change or OS update — a remote restart clears the stale state and re-establishes sync.
Managing Remote Devices
For devices that are physically distant — a child at school, a teen at a sleepover — a restart command resolves device issues without requiring collection and manual intervention.
How Businesses Use Device Restart from Dashboard
Businesses use Device Restart from Dashboard to manage unresponsive or out-of-sync company devices remotely — particularly useful for field-deployed Android devices that can't be physically recalled.
Field Device Recovery
For company Android devices in remote or field deployment, a restart command resolves frozen states or sync failures without requiring the device to be recalled or a technician dispatched.
Post-Configuration Restart
After applying configuration changes, policy updates, or software installations that require a restart, Device Restart from Dashboard delivers that restart from the dashboard rather than requiring manual device handling.

Limitations & Platform Notes
Android Only
Device Restart from Dashboard is available on Android only. iOS platform restrictions prevent remote restart commands by third-party applications.
Requires Connectivity to Execute
The reboot command delivers on next device sync. Offline devices will restart when they next connect. An already offline device cannot be restarted until it reconnects.
Irreversible Action
A restart command cannot be cancelled once it has been issued. Confirm the action is appropriate before sending from the dashboard.
