not sure i understand what you're talking about. you mean when you use your pc to go to google play?
if so, i don't think it's a big deal because i just checked mine on the pc and it shows 3 listings for the same phone.
i'm not sure what is goes by but i have 2 listings for a motorola droid razr hd on verizon and my current one just says xt926 and the carrier is unknown. probably because i'm on aokp 4.2.2.
on a side note, i flash my phone so much that i always have to delete saved devices in google music because every time i flash a new rom google music picks it up as a different device.
so it's not a big deal, should give you a date on last time used and just re-edit the nickname
OK, here's the deal...
Yes. I'm talking about when I go into the Google Play store in a web browser on my Windows computer.
Now, just to make sure we're on the same page, this really isn't a problem for me.....I'm just wanting to understand how things work...
I took a screenshot of what it looks like in my 'My Devices' right now...

From the bottom of the list, here is the history...
Bionic5
This was my 4th replacement Bionic device.
TempLoanerBestBuy20... (Nov 17)
This was the loaner I had between Bionic5 and Bionic6.
Bionic6
This was the 5th replacement Bionic device (yes, the 6th Bionic that I had, when including the original Bionic)
TempLoanerBestBuy20... (Mar 30)
This was the loaner I had when my final Bionic went out for repair/replacement.
MaxxHD1
This was the first Maxx HD that I got, as a once-and-for-all replacement of the POS Bionic line of broken, worthless devices.
Now....the thing is....when the first MaxxHD went out for repair/replacement, and I got a loaner, I renamed that loaner. However, in this list, the one I had between last Bionic and original Maxx HD is now gone from the list.
Also, when I connected the new, replacement Maxx HD, I renamed it to 'MaxxHD2', and from that point on, all of the others (including MaxxHD1 and MaxxHD2) were in the list, and I only had MaxxHD2 checked so that only that one would show up other places in the Play Store.
Then, once I successfully restored the Safestrap backup (which I saved originally on the first Maxx HD), the entry for MaxxHD2 disappeared, and the check mark automatically went back to MaxxHD1.
Again, this is not problematic for me in the least. I'm just curious...
Is this because the Play Store is paying attention to some kind of unique ID somewhere in the phone's system, and that unique ID was transferred to my new MaxxHD via the Safestrap backup and restore process?
