No background image being displayed on Galaxy Nexus (ONLY)?

Question

Very peculiar problem here, Simply the background image asset will display fine on ALL phones except the Galaxy Nexus (or i have found so far)

Find below the gallery of the app in multiple different phones, but note in image number SIX the nexus does not have the background?

I have set support for all density's and large + XL screen sizes, i shall post the XML of one layout, however its spans across ALL layouts, whether it has any controls/linear Layouts or whatever else.

The Galaxy Nexus is an xhdpi device. Is the background image located in the /res/drawable-xhdpi/ directory?

Another option, if your background just a gradient then you could write a gradient script in xml and just place it in your /res/layout/app_bg.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

<item>
    <shape>
        <gradient
            android:startColor="@color/green2"
            android:endColor="@color/green1"
            android:gradientRadius="555"
            android:type="radial" />
    </shape>
</item>
</selector>

Then reference your background as android:background="@layout/app_bg"

My preference is to create one single layout style xml for consistent styles throughout the app and then just include them in all other xml layouts.
