[android-developers] Unique ID for a device: why aren't devices certified Android-compliant?

Tim Bray posted the following on the Android Developers Blog:

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/03/identifying-app-installations.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FhsDu+%28Android+Developers+Blog%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher

In it, he describes various ways that an app could attempt to get a
unique ID for the device it's running on. However, he also laments
shortcomings with every approach. In particular, a couple approaches
fail because device manufacturers have not correctly implemented
Android. Which makes me wonder if there isn't, or shouldn't be, some
sort of certification program that Google runs, to make sure that what
a manufacturer puts out as Android really is Android. It's hard enough
writing apps for all the different devices out there. When a class/
method that should work, doesn't work, that makes it just that much
more difficult. Is it merely just a cost problem that Google doesn't
want to invest in a robust test framework to certify devices and their
OS's?

[android-developers] Backup Manager Error

I have searched the web the closest I could get is 2.2 but I'm using 3.0 (Honeycomb) on my emulator and I keep getting the following

I have tried
adb -e shell
bmgr run
bmgr enable true
bmgr backup {package}

root@android:/ # bmgr list transports
* android/com.android.internal.backup.LocalTransport

How Do I fix this ???

I have also noticed that if I restart the emulator the data is gone
by data files uploaded onto the sdcard.img and data in the sqlite3 /data/data/{package}/database directory

Thanks in advance
