Here we go... Android's propagating through the industry now and as could be expected, the device models start showing differences that affect apps. Reports indicate that the sensor values on the Samsung Galaxy vs. HTC phones differ to the point where apps that use sensor inputs, and that have been tested on the HTC's, would not work correctly on the Galaxy. Which poses the question what the strategy is for these kind of problems? There's no grounds to consider HTC as the standard bearer of the baseline towards we develop apps, outside the fact these are the dev devices we've seen so far. But frankly (and this is where this goes beyond being a dev specific question), I feel compelled to direct users to the manufacturer to "fix" the device in case bug reports/ complaints start coming in that are driven by variances of device models, except for obvious cases where devs are on the hook, such as accommodating different screen sizes. In the future, this could (strike this: will) happen on other models and in other areas as well. In howfar is this covered by Google's specs to give the devices/carriers blessing to put their brand name on the devices, and what's a dev expected to do outside of the forthcoming (and to a large degree unrealistic) approach to acquire and test on all, or at least the popular, Android devices under the sun?
