You're 65,127th in queue to have this fixed. The unique device number Android_12'0259'94' (some suffix number pulled from the individual device's system) is whole on the Result Status page, but get's stripped when printed on the device stats. If you though hover on the link, you'll see a unique identifier in the hyperlink such as
https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/device/viewDeviceStatHistory.do?deviceId=4285261&deviceType=B. Couple that back to the hardware and put a sticker on it to know which is which. Admittedly a sorry state of a workaround. |

I just use BAM stats and rename the devices there, and I can also check the points if some of them are "drifting"

Think to have seen that a future build of the Android client was to have a possibility of naming the device just as can be done on PC/Linux/Mac. For years there's not been a new build, but maybe now. A new beta client 7.16.3 is out now for insiders to test, and AFAICS nothing earth shattering if not downright 'yawn'.
----------------------------------------PS, using BAM requires to make your data public. [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Sep 30, 2019 11:09:34 AM] |

There actually is a new Android client build.
BOINC Manager for Android is build and ready for testing. @David P. Anderson, could you please sign it and publish on Play Store, Amazon Store and also put it on ftp? Not sure if in the first instance it's only available for those who subscribe to the Beta channel in the Playstore. |

I guess it should be an option to hide your computer on bam.
----------------------------------------Still, since the number of boinc users is going down each year (my guess), personally I do not have any privacy concerns. That "feature" should have been there since 6 years. I do not have to time to test on 20+ devices this name "feature". |

You're 65,127th in queue to have this fixed. I donated some funds for a rename Android feature. https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/2770 Problem is, I don't know how to compile an Android app!   |

The 7.16.3 beta build for android is not stable, but
Okay, managed to send crash reports. Have reset to factory settings, put the last available security update on the tablet. Installed 7.16.3 clean. Nice touch being able to rename the device. thought you'd be interested. |

In my case it worked just fine - as long there were work to do. I switched some devices to Beta and had no problems at all.
