This sounds like you are running in compatibility mode; make sure your <supports-screens> tag is in the correct place and there are not other problems there.
Or just do android:targetSdkVersion="4" or better. Really, people should be writing their apps to target stuff > Cupcake so when they are running on newer platform they aren't getting forced into this and many other compatibility features. (android:targetSdkVersion does not make you incompatible with older platform versions, just says you are aware of the newer ones.)
