TestNG : Test case is ignored

I am using TestNG framework for writing test cases for my Android application. For which I am using Appium testing tool.

For this I have defined following files :

• pom.xml file - required for dependencies
• One BaseTest.java class
• Two child classes which is extended from BaseTest.java
• testng.xml file - defines running test classes in it.

For better understanding of my question posting classes & xml files.

This is pom.xml

            logInElement.click();
        }
    } 

This is testng.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="androidapp" group-by-instances="true">

    <test name="FirstScenario_1" >

        <classes>
            <class name="scenarios.FirstTest" ></class>
            <class name="scenarios.SecondTest"></class>
        </classes>
    </test>

   <!-- Following scenario runs perfectly if I have each separate class in separate test name. But in above case scenario it is not working properly, it gives Test ignored error for second method of FirstTest.java
<test name="secondScenario_1" >

        <classes>
            <class name="scenarios.FirstTest" ></class>
        </classes>
    </test>

 <test name="secondScenario_2" >

        <classes>
            <class name="scenarios.SecondTest" ></class>
        </classes>
    </test>-->
</suite>

When I run this code using appium tool then on second function splashScreen_2() of FirstTest.java class got error Test ignored & it is not running properly. But when I do uncomment secondScnario_2 in testng.xml file & comment FirstScenario_1 then my test cases run properly (as I mention in comment also) & android app executes each function properly one by one.

But I want to do execute all classes in <test> </test> functions in testng.xml.

If I use secondScnario_2 in testng.xml file then I need to give separate test name for each scenario. And I want to use only one test name. So here when I use FirstScenario_1 in testng.xml file, Why is their an error of test ignored ocurring here?
