Bing maps on Android emulator works but not on device

Question

I've set up the http://bingmapsandroidsdk.codeplex.com/ to try bing maps instead of google maps on Android. Because I was unable to set that up.

I'm able to run Bing maps on my emulator but I'm unable to run it on my device(Galaxy S2).

I have a wifi connection on my phone but I'm still unable to get past the load screen.

I also checked this question but it doesn't solve the problem Working on Emulator but not on the real Android device

So my code:

Manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS"></uses-permission>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>

<application android:icon="@drawable/bingmaps_icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:allowBackup="false">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity android:name="SplashActivity"></activity>
</application>
