TravelBadge issues with Samsung Galaxy phones

magro28 — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 10:08:16 +0000

TravelBadge has some compatibility problems with samsung galaxy mobile phones. It seems that the geo database could not be initialized on these phones. At the moment the database is copied in the data/data/{packagename}/databases folder at the first start of the app. On Samsung phones this seems not to work correctly.
Its hard to test for me because I’ve only HTC phones for debugging. If anybody could provide me some infos about the assets management on these phones, it would help me much.

Greetings,
