Hmmm.  Probably not.  That FAQ entry (10.3) *looks* well-researched (I do 
not have time to review it ATM).  Probably my mistake, then.

You should try debugging your function so that you can see what branch is 
taken by the mobile browser (which one?).

You could try using window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight although the 
FAQ entry does not recommend them, and see what values you get.

However, there *are* mobile browsers that do not show the document in full 
screen when it has been loaded.  One of those is Dolphin Browser HD 7.2.1 
for Android on my HTC Sensation (4G), which has tabs that only disappear if 
you scroll down.

It would be best if you could post the URL or the source code of a reduced 
testcase.
