Still, if I use your function I'll get the same string from different devices of the same model. Eg: All users using Google Ion will return this string: "xxxx" + "google_ion" + "a23456790112345b"
It also doesn't matter if I use the class full name or not - and it really shouldn't, but I tried it anyway and still received null. As I said before, I can use Settings.System and Settings.Secure to retrieve any value, except for the ANDROID_ID that always comes null.
