Why does my app work on my samsung s5 but not a nexus phone?

I am working on a app I want to make a paid app, but It only seems to work on my samsung s5 then a nexus on the android studio emulator. Why is this only working for one phone? Is there another code I need to put in place? Here is my coding:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private ImageView mMainMenuButton;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        mMainMenuButton = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.mainMenusButton);

        View.OnClickListener menuListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                mMenuPage();
                //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "You Did It!!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }

        };
        mMainMenuButton.setOnClickListener(menuListener);
    }

    private void mMenuPage() {
        Intent menuPage = new Intent(this, MenuActivity.class);
        startActivity(menuPage);
    }


}

Can you describe what is happening when you try to run the app on the Nexus? Is there an error message? The more details you can provide the better the chance we have of determining the issue.

I prefer Genymotion when I am not using a physical Android device to develop on. Glad it's working now.

What it did was crashing before it ever started. I checked everything. So i took off the background layout and it started working till i did something else. So i tried to us the nexus on genymotion and it worked. Maybe the android simulator isn't working right
