Deviceid contains letters, not IMEI

Kindly please be informed that the recent versions of Collect android app has slightly modified on how the device ID is captured while collecting data.

To know the device ID of each device the enumerators are using, please

  • Open your Collect android app
  • Press General Settings
  • Press User and device identity
  • Press Form metadata. You should then see a sample of what is seen at my end:

So the device ID that you are seeing at your end is OK and it should be like the one you are currently seeing.
