755073 - Block htc desire on the play market for beta 1

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Requests, defect)

Description

[Kevin Brosnan [Ex-Mozilla]]

The HTC Desire gets only white pages on Beta 1. This is working correctly on today's Aurora build. So do we want to block the Desire for beta 1?

It would be nice to know what was patched and checked in that caused this behaviour and fixed this behaviour.

FWIW, the Desire is a pretty popular device and it is also in the range of hardware specs where we might get more bugs, so having it available for beta testing can get us high value bugs that affect more people. 

My recommendation is that we have it for beta and if we can't get it for beta 1,have a plan to whitelist it as soon as possible.

The Desire is already fixed for beta 2, and will be unblocked when beta 2 is published.

per email from akeybl, this needs to be done before today's beta1 launch. Moving to correct component.

I don't see the Desire on the list.

Try seaching for "Desire" -- the list only shows a limited number of results at a time.

Actually the problem seems to be that only the device name is searched (not the manufacturer), and this device is listed as "Desire" instead of "HTC Desire."

I think we want to exclude both "Desire (bravo)" and "Desire (bravoc)" for this release.  The Desire S and Desire HD are different models, and they are not necessarily affected by this bug.

Should we block all of these or a subset?

The Supported Devices page should be updated too:

Who will handle this?  Other than this I think we're done here.

I don't think we need to change this page.  Firefox Beta still installs on the Desire, it just won't be updated from XUL to Native until the next beta.

Oops, I was wrong here.  Excluding the Desire affects both XUL and Native, so Firefox Beta will *not* install on the Desire.  The device list *does* need updating.  Sorry for the confusion.

Beta 1 works fine for me as a fresh install of the beta from Google Play.

Do we need a new bug to reverse this change for Friday?
