If your test AVD was HVGA resolution, you may need to tweak some of your
techniques and assets to support WVGA854 resolution as well. See:

If your test AVD was WVGA854 resolution, bear in mind that your
monitor's screen density is a whole lot lower than is your phone's, so
the emulator will appear huge. There's a scale option you can use to fix
that, at the cost of crispness of the emulator screen.
