  <p>I get it only on that type of a mobile phone. 
  All I found until now doesn't solve that issue including setting the <code>AndroidUseLatestPlatformSdk</code> to <code>false</code> what I found <a href="https://kimsereyblog.blogspot.co.at/2016/11/how-to-fix-xamarin-android-app.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Hope someone can help me out.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
