Admob ads displaying on emulator but not real device

I have a simple activity just to test the display of ads:

public class AdTestActivity extends Activity {

private AdView adView;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new ExceptionHandler(this));
    setContentView(R.layout.ad_test);

    adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "[my ad id]");
    LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout_at_1);
    layout.addView(adView);
    adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
}

@Override
  public void onDestroy() {
    if (adView != null) {
      adView.destroy();
    }
    super.onDestroy();
  }
}

Ads are working fine on emulators, and on my phone over ADB. However, if I create a .apk of the project and install it on the same phone (after uninstalling the one from ADB), it force closes as soon as I open the AdTestActivity. The activity is declared in the manifest: 

    <activity
        android:name=".AdTestActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_main"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
    </activity>

I've declared the permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Any idea what's going on?

Edit- yes, I've disabled ad blocking on the phone.

Generate the id by this following code:

String android_id = Settings.Secure.getString(
            this.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
String deviceId = md5(android_id).toUpperCase();


public static final String md5(final String s) {
    try {
        // Create MD5 Hash
        MessageDigest digest = java.security.MessageDigest
                .getInstance("MD5");
        digest.update(s.getBytes());
        byte messageDigest[] = digest.digest();

        // Create Hex String
        StringBuffer hexString = new StringBuffer();
        for (int i = 0; i < messageDigest.length; i++) {
            String h = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & messageDigest[i]);
            while (h.length() < 2)
                h = "0" + h;
            hexString.append(h);
        }
        return hexString.toString();

    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return "";
}

and use this in:

AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice(deviceId).build();

Also if this fails, google give you that device id in the logcat. Please see that too !!

Are you getting ClassNotFoundException or ActivityNotFoundException after installing APK?

If so, Please export AdMod jar file in your Build Path-> Order and Export
