Admob Ads doesn't work on real device

i was trying to set admob ads in my app with the new google-service-libs. and everything looks fine in genymotion emulator ads are showing up. but they don't at real device like my galaxy ace gt5830i with android 2.3.6. and i dont know what is the problem.

here is some code:

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/background"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/titleBar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:background="@drawable/title_bar"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/iconImg"
            android:layout_width="40dp"
            android:layout_height="40dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_margin="5dip"
            android:background="@drawable/app_icon" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/titleImg"
            android:layout_width="160dp"
            android:layout_height="45dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_margin="5dip"
            android:background="@drawable/title" />

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/pagerBtn"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:paddingRight="2dip" >

            <ImageButton
                android:id="@+id/pager"
                android:layout_width="45dp"
                android:layout_height="35dp"
                android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                android:background="@drawable/button_clicked"
                android:scaleType="fitXY"
                android:src="@drawable/pager" />
        </RelativeLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

    <View
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="5dip"
        android:background="@drawable/shadow" >
    </View>

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/adView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="@string/adUnitId" />

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/buttons"
        android:divider="#351802"
        android:dividerHeight="2dp"
        android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector" />

</LinearLayout>

my Ad_Unit_Id is saved in string.xml file in res/ folder.

java :

AdView ad = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);

        AdRequest req = new AdRequest.Builder().build();

        ad.loadAd(req);

Please tell me if you need more code. Thanks

I've faced this problem before, it's because the ads banner needs a resolution that's bigger than the mobile's resolution.

For this reason test the application horizontally and once you do you'll be able to see the ads in full.

Try defining the ad's adsize dynamically based on the devices' screen resolutions:

 AdSize adSize = AdSize.SMART_BANNER;  

    DisplayMetrics dm = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();  
    double density = dm.density * 160;
    double x = Math.pow(dm.widthPixels / density, 2);
    double y = Math.pow(dm.heightPixels / density, 2);
    double screenInches = Math.sqrt(x + y);   
    if (screenInches > 8) { // > 728 X 90
        adSize = AdSize.LEADERBOARD;
    } else if (screenInches > 6) { // > 468 X 60
        adSize = AdSize.MEDIUM_RECTANGLE;
    } else { // > 320 X 50
        adSize = AdSize.BANNER;
    }

    ad = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
     adView.setAdSize(adSize);
    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
     adView.loadAd(adRequest);
