>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Android
>    Affects Versions: 2.9.0
>         Environment: GingerBread devices

> Older Android versions (eg GINGERBREAD) had some quirk where the API pauseTimers/resumeTimers was controlled by an internal reference counter.
> Refer to http://grepcode.com/file_/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.0.1_r1/android/webkit/JWebCoreJavaBridge.java/?v=diff&id2=2.3.3_r1 
> It means that unless the pauseTimers/ResumeTimers were carefully balanced then calling these API methods might not actually be doing what the caller expects. 
> The CordovaWebView.java code calls to the Android pauseTimers/resumeTimers are not balanced (the call to pauseTimers is conditional but the call to resumeTimers is unconditional). Because of this, there would be some scenario where resumeTimers gets called more times than pauseTimers, and in such a case the pauseTimers is not actually going to do anything on a GINGERBREAD device.
