App won't show up in physical device when debugging in eclipse

Question

This may be a silly question, but it's starting to getting on my nerves.

I develop with the regular ADT in eclipse, and use my Motorola Atrix 2 MB865 in 4.0.4 to test.

I have all due drivers, and eclipse recognizes the phone perfectly, and most of the times works as it should. But lately when I hit "Run" in eclipse, it shows in the bottom right of eclipse "Launching app ..." and it says 100%, but it never opens it.

Looking at the console shows

[2013-07-24 00:10:37 - Moveo_Android] ------------------------------
[2013-07-24 00:10:37 - Moveo_Android] Android Launch!
[2013-07-24 00:10:37 - Moveo_Android] adb is running normally.
[2013-07-24 00:10:37 - Moveo_Android] Performing co.aktio.moveo.android.SplashActivity activity launch
[2013-07-24 00:10:42 - Moveo_Android] Uploading Moveo_Android.apk onto device 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
[2013-07-24 00:10:43 - Moveo_Android] Installing Moveo_Android.apk...
[2013-07-24 00:11:06 - Moveo_Android] Success!
[2013-07-24 00:11:08 - Moveo_Android] Starting activity co.aktio.moveo.android.SplashActivity on device XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

But problem is PHONE NEVER START THE ACTIVITY!!!

So I have to dig in the menu for the app, and open it from there.

Sometimes I have to hit "Run" 3 or 4 times in a row to make it start.

Just to be clear. Eclipse DOES recognize my phone, installs the app perfectly, and does the Logcat as it should, what bothers me is that app won't start when I hit "Run" from eclipse, or at least not in 80% of the times.

May be something in settings or some file I messed up?
