Our app integrates with the Quick Contacts Badge. Click on the badge and our icon appears in the list of icons.
Or at least it does unless you run it on say, the latest android release for the HTC Desire HD (android 2.3.3, sense 2.1). On these phones the icon just won't show up. Facebook and Skype seem to still have the integration working though, so it isn't the case that HTC have simply broken it. Equally, our stuff works great on other android 2.3.4 phones.
Anybody out there have a clue what trick I might need to get this working?
Thanks in advance

I'm writing an android application and i need to detect what version of Samsung Experience the device is running to do a special check. Galaxy S8 with android 7.0 allows the navigation bar to be on the left. And from my understanding only android 7.1 allows that. My application apply margins based on android version and I need to check if the version is 7 and we are running Samsung Experience 8.1.
Here you can find an example of About phone.
Another posibility is detect the position of the navigation bar on the screen (right or left). I could not find a way to do it.
thanks in advance.
I tried reading with Build.MODEL, Build.TAGS, Build.MANUFACTURER.
Take a look at Checking external app version name in android
I don't have a Samsung Galaxy S8 available at the moment, but I think you can check the version of packages com.sec.android.app.launcher or com.samsung.android.mobileservice.
My app runs with many devices but 2 users have send me simular images as below.
As far as I know the behaviour is only seen on Android 4.2.2 (Samsung S4).
On the full HD screen there seem to be 3 compressed tiles of 160x600 pixels.
I have tried an AVD with full HD screen but that fails to start.
On 4.03 devices I don't see this. I don't use tiles.
Does anybody have a hint what or where this goes wrong ?
This looks like a possible bug in the Android platform on Samsung's S4 devices with that particular Android version. My experience tells me that it's a very real possibility. It could also be that you do something wrong in your app that only causes actual problems on that version (and maybe even only on that device), but there is no indication of that from what you tell. Android 4.2.2 should be backwards compatible with 4.0.3, so in general it should work on the later version too, of course.
I would advice you (or anyone in the same situation) to try it out on other devices with the same Android version if possible. Also, double check that you're not violating anything in the Android API documentation.
Please add more info about what you're doing and how if you need more detailed answers. I guess you've probably found a solution or workaround by now, but still adding my answer here.
I just bought a 7" android 4.0 tablet (Arnova 7F G3) and i'm trying to run a couple of demos to test the touch gestures. Thing is... nothing's happening when I touch the screen, whereas on the iPad, it works a treat! Really smooth!
The demo i'm looking at is: http://riagora.com/mobile/hammer/
As I said, it's perfect on the iPad and also in firefox on my desktop. Just wondering if the tablet is just rubbish? That said it's really quick for most other things
Anybody have an idea what's going on?
Cheers!

quick update! I've just downloaded the latest version of Firefox for Android and all the gesture events seem to be working. Still no luck with the default stock android 4.0.2 browser which is very disappointing! Also Dolphin, which I had high hopes for is a dead duck!
But at least I know its not the tablet that sux! In fact it is very smooth and quick! Kudos to Arnova!
Cheers!

I have build an iPhone app and using same code to compile Android app. When I run the app in the phone (HTC Desire) instead in emulator, the main window shrinked to the quarter of the screen size, everything else is working fine except this. Can someone please let me know if there is any configuration to look for in Titanium ?
Ubuntu
Appaccelerator Tatanium Studio
HTC Desire
This could possibly help you?
Looking at screenshots on Appaccelerator website I see that Android phone is presented by HTC Hero, which is kind of old for 2011. This makes me think that Appaccelerator is not aware of newest high-density devices like Desire. If Appaccelerator uses physical coordinates for pixels then on high-density phones you'll get exactly the behavior you describe.
Anyways, phrase patent-pending development technology stated on the Appaccelerator website is already an alarming sign against using it.
I just put an app on the market and it is showing on all phones I have except for my Acer Liquid Mini. This one:
http://www.gsmarena.com/acer_liquid_mini_e310-3711.php
I have phones with the same res screens, Android 2.2, and close enough to the same hardware specs yet this is the only phone that it doesn't show for. It is running on factory defaults. When I try to install by the browser Google just says that the app isn't compatible and no more information.
I have the minSDK set to 4, maxSDK set to 10, I'm not specifying any screen resolutions in the Manifest (as recommended by the Android Doc post Android 1.6) and install location is set to "auto".
Does anyone have any ideas?
Apparently Google has problems with knowing the hardware constraints on some devices, such as this one, my Desire with the 2.3 upgrade and my Irish Galaxy 10.1" tab. They are working to sort it out
You could try deploying you app on appslib, they got a list of devices supported. You can choose a set of features required by your app and see the devices that will be able to run it.
I can't promise that both Android Market and appslib will give you the same results, i.e. will associate a device to the same requirements but that's a track to follow.
