Various Samsung Android Devices Being Detected as Generic

Postby deriv-wurfl » Fri Feb 01, 2013 10:18 am

Hi,

We have a web application that we use to restrict access to only devices that meet our minimum resolution requirements (800x480 or 480x800) - as well as OS and version. We have been having issues with a number of Samsung devices that are being resolved as Generic Android x.y devices. This leads to the device being rejected since the generic device resolution is below our minimum spec.

We have identified the following devices which do actual meet our requirements but fail to be detected appropriately; please can you add them or improve the detection so that they match:

Samsung Galaxy W

Hi,

Thank you for the heads-up! Most of the User Agents[UAs] from your post have been processed for addition to the WURFL DB. They should be out in the next weekly WURFL.xml snapshot.

I have not added the following UAs:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Cyanogen Mod)
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.7; md-us; Galaxy Nexus Build/GRJ22; CyanogenMod-7) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.3; en-us; blaze Build/MR1) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.30
While the Galaxy Nexus was launched with Android 4.0 [ICS], this UA represents itself as running Android 2.3 [GB]. This UA has also been modified by a ROM[CM7]. Given the low amount of traffic for this particular UA, it does not make sense to add it to the WURFL DB.

Also, the UA that you have for the Galaxy S Blaze 4G is not an original UA from the device. Here's what the UA of a Galaxy S Blaze 4G on ICS should look like:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.4; en-us; SGH-T769 Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30
Please note that you can also submit missing/incomplete device information by emailing us at wurfldb at ourdomainname.com

Thanks,
Sriram Sridharan
