DeviceID not showing up for tablet

Support
1

Hi Guys,

When I try to get the device ID from the couple of tablets I am using
(COBY Kyros tablet MID 7024), I get a string of 0's. I tried the
other ID properties such as SubscriberID but didn't receive any data.
Was the deviceID property meant for a phone or can it be used on
tablets as well? Is there a setting I need to change in my tablet to
make this work? If this isn't possible, is there any other way I can
get a unique ID for each tablet?

Thanks,

Sanjeev

sanjeev,

device id is imei and subscriber id is the imsi. only phones have
those values, and agreed that this is a problem.

we'll add support for android's internal id in the next collect
release, but only if there is no imei/imsi. the catch here is, those
ids are not guaranteed to be unique, especially on devices before
android 2.2.
