I think it's a lot more than just the Android version that matters. It
also matters which UI layer is run on top of it. Samsung, HTC, Sony, they
all have their own crap on top of Android and some of the bugs only seem
to happen with a specific version of that.

I don't think that's needed because we already have a detail view. The
reason I did this in the list for the GPS fixes was that there is no way
to "open" a single GPS fix.

And again I wonder if this is vendor specific. I don't see this with my
Android 4.3 Nexus device.

Yes - it's just commented out code in main.qml.
