The problem was on Tablets with Android OS, ng-device-detector show same info for Android Tablet and Android Phone. Looking for a solution, I find that ALL Smartphones has the string "Mobile" in userAgent, but tablets doesn't.

Here's a list of all smartphones userAgents.

Simply, I use this function to replace ng-device-detector "isMobile" function:

deviceDetector.isMobile = function(){
    var ua = deviceDetector.raw.userAgent;
    return ua.match(/Mobile/i);
}

Thanks you all. Sorry for my english, I talk spanish.

If it's just about showing stuff, try to do it the bootstrap way and use their css-classes: enter image description here

Depending on your needs this could be a very simple and straight-forward solution.
