I recently built my first app using meteor.js. It works reasonably well in all mobile devices except Samsung Galaxy Mini, in which the page does not load.
Any clues on what can be wrong?
The Galaxy Mini is a 3 year old device running Android 2.2. It's a low-dpi device, only has 384MB RAM and a slow CPU.
Any of those might cause a problem. Did you check the Logcat of the device when you started the app? Does it give you some useful information?
If it works on all other devices, and the logcat doesn't contain any useful information, I shouldn't bother too much. It's not a popular device, and it's running 3 year old software.

I'm looking into ways to emulate a Galaxy S8 for android development. One path of interest is Genymotion. I've found that they have Galaxy S8 listed as a device, but my understanding is that "you can't emulate a galaxy s8."
So what does Genymotion do? Is it just a basic emulation with a skin? Or have they put in some extra work to get a more accurate result?
Is there any way to get the Android emulator to run a system image other than vanilla Android? I'm developing an app that works fine on the emulator, a physical Huawei device and a physical Motorola device, but experiences some weird issues on a Samsung Galaxy S7.
Since I don't have physical access to a Galaxy S7, is there any way to run an emulator that actually runs the Samsung official ROM? Note that I'm not talking about an emulator skin, I'm talking about the actual system image.
While there might not be any Samsung system images to download and install on the Android Studio emulator, there is another option.
Samsung has something called Remote Test Lab, which lets you access and control a real Samsung device online. You have to join the Samsung Developers programme, and then you can use these test devices. Samsung uses a credit-based system for this, and you get 20 free credits every day, which you can then use to run test devices. Running a Galaxy S7 for 30 minutes cost me 2 credits.
This actually works surprisingly well, and only slightly more lagging than the AVD. It is even possible to get Logcat output by connecting to the device with ADB (right click on the device window for options).
I've made an Android app that it's causing a couple of problems to a few users. I can't reproduce those problems in my test devices (3 different devices with 3 different Android versions). I've been debugging the app with Eclipse and I don't see any kind of error where those users are having the problems.
The app is a Phonegap/jQuery Mobile app built with Eclipse.
How can I get the logs from those devices? I know the users so they would cooperate with anything I asked for to install or do.
EDIT
I'll give more info about the issues themselves. The app doesn't crash, it seems a jquery issue when changing pages, instead of showing the correct page the app gets stuck with the spinning thing. But it only happens in those 2 devices (Galaxy S4 and Note 3) that run Android 4.3. I've tried in other devices with Android 4.0.1, 4.2.2, 4.4.2 and no problems at all.
Oh, and I've already tried running the app in an emulator with 4.3, trying to replicate the S4 as close as possible in the emulation specs, and no problems there...
What if we really need HTC emulator? Because sometimes each brand has different system management....
I can find addon for Samsung Galaxy Tab but nothing for other brands.
I am having a problem reproducing errors on HTC device while other devices runs well.
I created a battery widget which runs well on Samsung but some users using HTC and Motorola claim that battery level is not showing correct values.
How to do this?
You can create virtual devices to emulate HTC Evo 4G, Google/HTC Nexus One and T-Mobile/HTC G1

I've been learning android development and been trying to get the app on my samsung galaxy tablet but have been having some problems. I have the device connected to my computer and i can access it thought the substandard samsung app and through explorer but when i try to send the app to the device using eclipse it just defaults to the emulator.
My pc is running windows 7, i have the android and galaxy tab packages installed on eclipse and i also have the device set up with type of galaxy tab.
When i plug in my HTC Desire it works perfectly fine and i can view apps on the device, it just seems to be the galaxy tablet.
Anyone else had this problem or know of any solutions?
Thanks a lot, been frustrating me for ages now.
The developer tools for Samsung Galaxy tab, including drivers are here. This may be what you need, for your work.
