"Application not installed" Error on Android

Question

I am developing an application and my application is installed and tested successfully on emulator and lots of devices like Asus eee pad, Galaxy tab, Galaxy note, HTC …

But I can not install it on Pidion BM-170 with android 2.3.7 and get error "Application not installed"

I tested other applications on this device and they are installed successfully. So the problem is about my application and this Pidion device.

I have signed my application. I have tested putting android:installLocation="auto" in manifest. I have tested Debuggable=false and true in manifest. There is no previous application on device.

But I still get error "Application not installed".

I use these features in my application

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />

Why I get this error? How can I solve it?

Can you check the logcat, when you install/launch the application to see if you get errors ? — Guillaume, Aug 05 '12 at 10:10
Maibe you have this issue only in that device. Try another device. — Zelter Ady, Aug 05 '12 at 11:10
If you cannot access LogCat, how are you installing this app? When you examined LogCat using an on-device app like aLogCat, what did you find? Does your app use any firmware libraries, like Google Maps? — CommonsWare, Aug 05 '12 at 11:11
My PC can detect the SD card of the device and I can copy my APK to it. But DDMS does not show my device. — Bob, Aug 05 '12 at 11:14
@CommonsWare I am using Google Maps but why I get error only on this device? — Bob, Aug 05 '12 at 11:28

Perhaps that device does not have the Google Maps SDK add-on library. After all, according to the device manufacturer, it does not even have Android normally -- it is described as "optional". They probably did not license the Google commercial apps, such as Play Store, YouTube, Google Maps, etc. If so, you cannot write apps that rely upon the Google Maps SDK add-on library that will run on that device.
