Description

I've created a simple jqm app with 2 screens - when you click any on the first screen (index.html) you will follow to the second screen (second_screen.html). Second screen is including some js code in it's body as external file (with a simple alert inside).

So an Expected Result - I click on link and see alert message

When I deploy it on my local apache httpd server - it's working fine on desktop browsers, and native mobile browsers on ASUS Transformer TF101 (ASUS) and HTC Desire Z (HTC).

Then, I create a Phonegap (Cordova) project on Eclipse using PhonegapForAndroid plugin (target api - 7, android 2.1), export signed apk and install in on ASUS and HTC.

And Actual Result - apk installed on HTC - works like in a browser, but the same apk installed on ASUS - doesn't work properly - I click on a link and don't see alert.

• I tried to reassemble the apk specifying target api - 13 (android 3.2) but it had no effect for ASUS device.
• I tried to run the problematic apk-s on android virtual device (api 13, android 3.2) and it works fine (both apk-s, with 7 and 13 target api-s).

PSS /
There are two links in the project, first is handled with jqm implicitly and second is calling jqm function $.mobile.changePage via handler, attached with jQuery.live on vclick event. Both of them are working well on browsers and HTC and are not working on ASUS.
