[MOBILE]What is a "Generic Android" Device? (7)

I had the idea to display the Phone Modell parameter on my next landing page. However, I checked the parameter stats in Voluum and saw this:

What does Generic Android mean? I don't think it's appealling for the visitor if he reads something like "Hello Generic Android User". I couldn't find anything about "Generic Android" on Google.

Thanks!

It means that no specific device could be identified in the database used.

Not uncommon in countries where they have lots of random handsets, especially knock-offs. The Android market is very fragmented (you're unlikely to ever get "Generic iOS device").

I understand, ok. I'll test and see how it has an impact on the user's behaviour on the LP.
Thanks zeno!

There isn't much to do about these so just ignore for now.

You could use an "if" statement on your landing page to show different text to Generic Android users (for example, "Hello Android User" instead of "Hello Generic Android User").

		<script>
			function getURLParameter(name) {

			        (RegExp(name + '=' + '(.+?)(&|$)').exec(location.search)||[,null])[1] || ''
			    );

			    if(str.substring(0,7).localeCompare('Generic') == 0){
			    	return 'Android';
			    }

			    return str;
