My Android App is confusing me. On most phones it works fine (e.g. HTC Desire). Users install it by visiting my website and following a link to the APK file. As I say, most phones, they get a prompt to install and it works fine. Some phones (e.g. some Samsung), a load of code just appears on their screen; like the phone does not know it is an app and it is just interpreting the file as text. Any ideas?

I did not think this would be an issue these days, especially as it worked on some handsets and not others. How odd. Have removed the space. Will now try and get someone to test (one of my users reported it to me). Comments Hey, thanks for your reply. There was a spac ein the filename yes.
