Just ran across an issue related to DHCP leases being renewed frequently while researching another issue. Having had the same problem with my tablet, I'm giving it a shot. More importantly, it brings to mind a bigger question I've been wondering about recently.

Are developers supposed to use the Android issue tracking system to report device-specific issues? What if it's not possible to directly identify the type of device having an issue? For example, one of my apps recently had a crash report that appears to be specific to a device from a single manufacturer (not identified in the crash report captured by Google) in that it appeared to require an additional permission that no other devices I've seen need to perform a particular function. The workaround was simple: add the missing permission. But solutions like that end up sweeping a lot of issues under the rug that start to pile up over time. What's the appropriate way to raise an issue like that? Should a developer report the problem to Google since they seem to 'own' compatibility testing or should it go to the manufacturer of the device (assuming it's even known)?
