Answer 1

Got the answer... :)

From here..

http://www.anddev.org/networking-database-problems-f29/missing-table-in-sqlite-with-specific-version-of-desire-hd-t50364.html

it was the problem with version 2.3.6... it was working with other devices... just added three lines to solve the problem...

boolean dbExist = checkDataBase();
        SQLiteDatabase db_Read = null;
        if (!dbExist) 
        {
            db_Read = this.getReadableDatabase(); 
            db_Read.close();

            try 
            {
                copyDataBase();
            } 
            catch (IOException e) 
            {
                Log.d("Error", e.toString());
            }
        }

Answer 2

Just change the database file .db extension in the asset folder to .png or any other compressed format it will worke in 2.1, 2.2 and above devices
