I am trying to save the number I assigned to each of devices to my
instances. I can get the guys to just enter it manually, by looking at the
sticker on the back, but I figured it should be possible to run the
deviceid through a pulldata() function to automatically retrieve the number
from a list. However, it seems the device id depends not only on the
device, but also on the form being used: different forms will assign
different deviceids on the same machine. Is this behaviour intentional? And
if so, is there any other way to do this apart from the manual way?
Would/should this not be exactly the same as the "deviceid" type in
XLSForm?

Hmmm... this is what I am using, and I am certain I've got devices with
different deviceids in different forms.
I am using ODK 1.4.3 on Acer Iconia B1 tablets running Android 4.1.2 by the
way.

Device ID reports either the cellular IMEI, WiFi MAC address, or
Android ID (a unique identifier assigned by the operating system).
What gets reported depends on the device.
Your email doesn't really explain what the problem is, so the more
details you can provide, the better.

This would be extraordinary behavior for any device and I think that people
may be having a hard time quite believing it. You might want to
triple-check to make sure that you're not being confused by data from
multiple devices, old data, etc. Then, you might do some work to try to
figure out from where these various device ID's are coming. Perhaps you are
getting the Wifi MAC address when connected to Wifi but the IMEI when not?
You should be able to look deeply into the ID's you're getting to figure
out how your device is behaving.
Best,

Thanks all, it must be that sometimes the MAC address is stored, and
sometimes the Android ID.
I've been trying to get different device ID from different forms, but
obviously this has failed so far to get it to show up on purpose. So I've
been going back through all my device data to find one that has been used
extensively. In a classroom setting, which would have wi-fi access if there
was power at the time, this device id was assigned: 98:ff:d0:4b:6d:c0. This
looks like a MAC address to my untrained eye. When the same device was
taken to the field (no wi-fi) it displays 4596fce2ce7f7a5d, which seems
like it could be an Android ID.
Is there any way to force which number is being stored? In general, my guys
shouldn't be near any wi-fi hotspot when doing their work, but I'd rather
be 100% sure.

As a workaround, maybe add a question that asks enumerators to enter
their enumerator ID. Or maybe have them create Google accounts and add
a uri:email question (See http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design).
