I have uploaded an app over android store some days ago, it's showing as not supported for galaxy s4 and Nexus 7 (i have just tested with those devices there could be more).

Here's what permissions i am using right now.

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="14" />

<supports-screens
    android:smallScreens="false" 
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:largeScreens="true"

 <!-- Special case for Nexus 7 -->
 <screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="213" />    </compatible-screens>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_ALL_DOWNLOADS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

you need to change the android:targetSdkVersion="14" to android:targetSdkVersion="17"

Galaxy s4 has xxhdpi resolution. You can see the phone specifications :). You need to add for xxhdpi as well. Google is supporting it.

This helped me:

1) Remove the <supports-screens> block.

2) Target SDK level 19 (install this with SDK Manager if it is not already installed)

3) Add the following line to the <comatible-screens> block:

<screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="480" />
