Had a request from someone to elaborate on what I did to fix this. This issue started showing up when I started building with the 1.6 SDK.
When I signed the application with a new certificate, the problem went away. Here's what I did: 1. created a new certificate using the instructions on this web page: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html 2. Exported the signed package using Eclipse: Right Click Project -> Export Signed Application Package -> follow dialog boxes. Also, make sure the phone is upgraded. If you're still having issues after doing this, then either my fix isn't the right one, or there's another problem. Hope that helps.
