Setting the target API will mainly enable compatibility features such as 
the overflow button in the navigation bar. I don't have the full 
overview of what the compatibility features with API 10 are, but I think 
the overflow button versus action bar is one of the main ones. On your 
API level 15 device, Qt should actually use the action bar instead by 
default (it was added in API 11). Is that not showing in your 
application? That is perhaps the actual bug here.

By the way: Which Qt versions were you using when the menu button showed 
but did not work?
