Flash Builder Burrito - Enabled Geolocation in running device?

Question

Hi, I am developing a simple app that will show user's geolocation in the map.
I use code like this:
protected function view1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
     if( Geolocation.isSupported )
           g = new Geolocation();
           g.setRequestedUpdateInterval(100);
           if( g.muted )
               // Don't do anything if device's sensor is muted.
                return;
           g.addEventListener(GeolocationEvent.UPDATE,geoLocation_UpdateHandler,false,0,true);
Then I modified application.xml in project like this (following Ryan Strewart's video in Adobe TV):
<android>
    <manifestAdditions><![CDATA[
    <manifest android:installLocation="auto">
        <!-- See the Adobe AIR documentation for more information about setting Google Android permissions -->
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
        <uses-configuration android:reqFiveWayNav="true"/>
        <supports-screens android:normalScreens="true"/>
        <uses-feature android:required="true" android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch"/>
    </manifest>
]]></manifestAdditions>
  </android>
Then I use Flash Builder Burrito to install and run application into device. The Geolocation object is muted. Even I turn on all geolocation setting. An interesting thing is, Geolocation is work in Flex de tour Mobile application.
I use Samsung Galaxy S with Froyo 2.2

I was able to test the Geolocation object successfully on a Motorola Droid using the following code:
GeoTest1.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

                     xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" firstView="views.GeoTest1Home">
    <fx:Declarations>
        <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
    </fx:Declarations>
</s:MobileApplication>
GeoTest1Home.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

        creationComplete="view1_creationCompleteHandler(event)">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import flash.sensors.Geolocation;
            import mx.events.FlexEvent;
            private var g:Geolocation;
            protected function view1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
                if( Geolocation.isSupported )
                    g = new Geolocation();
                    g.setRequestedUpdateInterval(100);
                    if( g.muted )
                        // Don't do anything if device's sensor is muted.
                        msg.text = "geo muted";
                        return;
                    msg.text = "geo active";
                    g.addEventListener(GeolocationEvent.UPDATE,geoLocation_UpdateHandler, false,0,true);
            protected function geoLocation_UpdateHandler(event:Event):void
                msg.text += "\ngeolocation updated";
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Label id="msg" text="foo"/>
</s:View>

Please try the above and see if it works.
