    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2595?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13589855#comment-13589855 ] 

Joe Bowser commented on CB-2595:
--------------------------------

I don't think this needs to be fixed, since this is actually a problem if this occurs. Sometimes the problem may be that our users have Android phones that run Froyo or Gingerbread.  This can also happen in Jellybean when Cordova developers are doing things like trying to restore state, and it's important that this error message be unfriendly.

Error messages shouldn't be happy and friendly, they should indicate that there's a problem.

> When a Cordova app is running on an older version of Android, it switches bridge mode back to the old PROMPT mode. When this happens it kicks out a somewhat misleading log message that makes some people nervous:
> 01-27 12:00:39.889: D/CordovaLog(12160): Falling back on PROMPT mode since _cordovaNative is missing.
> 01-27 12:00:39.889: D/CordovaLog(12160): file:///data/data/com.testapp/files/www/default/client/js/cordova.js: Line 1034 : Falling back on PROMPT mode since _cordovaNative is missing.
> 01-27 12:00:39.889: I/Web Console(12160): Falling back on PROMPT mode since _cordovaNative is missing. at file:///data/data/com.testapp/files/www/default/client/js/cordova.js:1034
> If you run a search for this error message you'll find a lot of confusion from our users. I think it'd be nice to change the message a bit to convey expectation so people stop asking questions about this.
