Update: Storing and loading the value from localStorage works fine on all
devices while on the *same page*, however, not between different pages. In
my example, I can store and retrieve the value on 01_home.html, but when I
go to another page in the android_asset folder, I cannot retrieve it
anymore (on LG and Samsung device). Works fine on Nexus 4 though.
What is the reason for the different behaviour? Different WebKit version,
different Android version, vendor?
