>From what I've read on some other sites retrieving the MAC with the Wifi off will not always return a valid MAC (as in my case) and some devices don't have Wifi at all.
One site as an example : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4468248/unique-id-of-android-device Quoted from that site : "You can get MAC address if network-device (Bluetooth etc.) is enabled in the system (turned on). But device may have bluetooth or wi-fi etc. or nothing" Seems like possibly using some of the other ID's in conjunction with a user/pass would be the best bet and updating the changes if and when they occur. My application has been out in the market for over a year now and I can definitely say that the ANDROID_ID is NOT unique in a lot of cases.
