Hi everyone, Just to follow up a bit here, the reason we believe this is happening is because ro.serialno isn't set on these devices. (Note that the ro.* properties currently aren't required by the CDD/CTS.) Unfortunately, it seems that we're using ro.serialno as the seed for the PRNG when generating ANDROID_ID.
See: frameworks/base/packages/SettingsProvider/src/com/android/providers/settings/SettingsProvider.java:416 http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#uX1GffpyOZk/packages/SettingsProvider/src/com/android/providers/settings/SettingsProvider.java&q=android_id%20ro.serialno&sa=N&cd=1&ct=rc I've gone ahead and opened up a bug here for tracking purposes: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10639 (We suspect that the Droid 2 isn't the only phone affected by this, likely just the most noticeable instance.) We have a fix for this checked into our internal Git repo, so once that change propagates to vendors this shouldn't be an issue on future devices. For existing devices though, if you absolutely depend on the uniqueness of ANDROID_ID, you'll unfortunately need to rely on some other identifier (IMEI, WiFi MAC, etc.). -- Trevor Johns On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 10:46 AM, suzanne.alexandra < [email protected]> wrote: > Andrew, > I don't know that this is reported in any public bug system.
