Re: Smartphone detection issues

Hi Medicom, The user-agent will be added to WURFL. However I wanted to let you know that since this user-agent comes from an Android emulator it will still not be classified as a smartphone. If you have any questions please feel free to make a support ticket by sending us an e-mail at support@scient...

Hi Edgecast, We plan on supporting Android P user agents when the OS is out of beta. If you would like I can open a support ticket for you where we can help create a patch file to detect this user agent as well as other Android P user agents you might encounter. Let me know if this works for you. Th...

Re: Getting Logical Resolution

Hi Niranjan, Due to the actual device model information not being in the user agent string and iOS being available on multiple device models, it is exceedingly difficult to identify a specific iOS model from just the user agent string. For this reason both the resolution and density_class capabiliti...

Hi Timotheus, We have two capabilities you can use that may help you with determining css pixels. Our `max_image_width` capability states the width of the images viewable (usable) width expressed in pixels and our `density_class` capability which is the coefficient that represents the pixel density ...

Re: Edge Browser Detection on Mobile

Hi Medicom, The reason Chrome on Android is detected as "Chrome Mobile" is because Google advertises the browser as "Chrome for Mobile." However Microsoft has chosen to advertise their browser as Edge across all platforms. If you would like to differentiate Edge browsers on mobile devices from deskt...

Hi Jatin, This is expected behavior for our is_smartphone capability. Although I can not promise any change, I see your point about Tizen OS being available to modern devices and will talk to my engineers about this issue. In the mean time if you are interested in a patch file that will return Tizen...

Re: Future versions of iOS/Android gets detected as feature phone

Hi Jatin, Just like Android UA defaults to Android 4.0 when the user agent is an unknown(Android 50); shouldn't iPhone also default to some default version of iPhone (say 2, 3 or 4) instead of defaulting to apple_generic ? Even windows phone are getting defaulted to Windows 7 when version is an unkn...

Hi Jatin, Since the majority of our customers do not have the same use case as you do the best I can offer you is some sample pseudo code to help with your iOS issue. // You will need to keep this updated per major iOS release (11, 12, 13 etc.) $current_ios_version = 12; // If the current HTTP reque...

Hi Jatin, While this is what we generally follow, there can be a scenario when WURFL is not updated every day. When this gap in updating WURFL would align with major iOS releases, it is possible for a brief period the latest versions are detected as feature phones and have a significant impact on cu...

Re: Understanding why Adobe AIR 27 user-agent is detected as feature phone.

Hi Jatin, You are correct that 1.9.0.0 detects the user agent as a feature phone. This is due to the fact that the following user-agent does not include an android version. Our is_smartphone capability is determined by a number of capabilities with the device os version being one of these factors. S...
