</posting as a Market dev> In all seriousness, do I feel cheated when I see my stats drop dramatically? Yes. Do I feel like there should be some correction? Yes. Has anything been done in the past to recover the stats? Very rarely. Should I trust what I see in the Market dev console? Maybe, but unlikely. Will I focus more on trends from my ad and sales revenue and manually looking at my app rank in the market instead of focusing on these percentages? Yes. Do I hope that someone from the Market will actually start paying attention and at least address some of our seemingly non-confidential questions? Yes. I almost feel like we are beating a dead horse here. On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 7:46 PM, Zsolt Vasvari <zvasv...@gmail.com> wrote: > I don't know. Does a lower power phone means < Android 2.1??
