I was trying some queries like "max/min width", "orientation portrait/landscape" "pixel ratio.." sharing in stack, which should work for mobile devices. Almost all, doesn't work with my HTC with hppi resolution and as a guest it doesn't work with other hppi devices. At last I found code like that:
@media only screen and (min-resolution: 117dpi) and (max-resolution: 119dpi), only screen and (min-resolution: 131dpi) and (max-resolution: 133dpi), only screen and (min-resolution: 145dpi) and (max-resolution: 154dpi), only screen and (min-resolution: 162dpi) and (max-resolution: 164dpi), only screen and (min-resolution: 169dpi) {}
@media only screen and (min-resolution: 165dpi) and (max-resolution: 168dpi), only screen and (min-resolution: 155dpi) and (max-resolution: 160dpi), only screen and (min-resolution: 134dpi) and (max-resolution: 144dpi), only screen and (min-resolution: 120dpi) and (max-resolution: 130dpi), only screen and (max-resolution: 116dpi) {}
This one works on all devices, but doesn't react when I scale the browser window.
How do I make my queries properly for all the states?
I don't know why you're so specific with your CSS targeting, but, Chris Coyier at CSS-tricks wrote a really good - slightly outdated - reference for almost all devices.

}For a more general approach I would use something the similar to the following Pen by David Gilbertson
@media (max-width: 599px) {
.phone-only {
/* style goes here */
}
}
@media (min-width: 600px) and (max-width: 899px) {
.tablet-portait-only {
/* style goes here */
}
}
@media (min-width: 600px) {
.tablet-portrait-up {
/* style goes here */
}
}
@media (min-width: 900px) and (max-width: 1199px) {
.tablet-landscape-only {
/* style goes here */
}
}
@media (min-width: 900px) {
.tablet-landscape-up {
/* style goes here */
}
}
@media (min-width: 1200px) and (max-width: 1799px) {
.desktop-only {
/* style goes here */
}
}
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
.desktop-up {
/* style goes here */
}
}
@media (min-width: 1800px) {
.big-desktop-up {
/* style goes here */
}
}and maybe combine that with DPR media-queries
