Android app not running on HTC devices

Question

My android app work on my samsung galaxy 2, and many others samsung devices. Then my friend tried HTC, installed correctly but when i turn on this app after 1 sec of white screen it turns off. Looks like program dont work same way on HTC. This happen on every HTC i tried. Any reasons what can cause this ?

Permissions needed : GPS, network localization and read external

storage minSDKv.: 8

targetSDKv.: 16

ProjectBuildTarget: 21(i tried lower still no working)

(installed correctly so i think its not API problem)

Can you post what response you get in the logcat when you are executing the app on a HTC device ? — Nishant Srivastava, Apr 08 '15 at 19:34
i dont have HTC - and cant find HTC virtual device settings. Only 2 friends with HTC phone 300, 50 km away installed apk file and they said its not working — Bowerick Wowbagger, Apr 08 '15 at 19:36
Try using GenyMotion Emulator, in which you can download a HTC device VM and then test your app on your system itself. — Nishant Srivastava, Apr 08 '15 at 19:40

You should check again your @style declarations. Sometimes the preinstalled theme in some distributions simple don't allow basic things like translucent bar etc.

in styles : _______________________________________________________________ manifest: android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.FullScreen" – Bowerick Wowbagger Apr 08 '15 at 19:38
yes, again, check your friend htc theme. Should be the bone for your lesson. You don't know how producers (htc) can spoil over your work "just because we embed a theme" inside our devices. For now, just comment your *light theme reference. It will work. – ares777 Apr 08 '15 at 19:45
do not say they have android 4.x, just take over the theme element. – ares777 Apr 08 '15 at 19:53
i didnt defined this theme in all values foldes. Waiting till friendc come online to test it but think this will fix it. Found this when start focus on styles. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4947720/android-theme-not-being-set – Bowerick Wowbagger Apr 08 '15 at 20:02
