Exclude a device? I could understand excluding some older devices but to exclude a new device is a bad idea. It would be better that you dedicate time to making your device compatible with new devices. There is a lot of documentation for this on the Android site.

Perhaps you should post code for your layout and the issue in order to get input on if you can make it better in order to work for the device.

DONT TRY TO EXCLUDE IT THOUGH... The google dashboard has statistics now on user data and you can see the different screen sizes and OS versions using you app.

Just my 2 cents. Good luck.
