Change WiFi MAC Address

I am one of the developers working on the Serval Project , and we are looking at using the Huawei Ideos U1850 as the default platform for developing Android activities.

We bought several phones from one of our local resellers here in Australia.

We noticed that a number of devices that we received from this provider have the same WiFi MAC address.

In particular, the MAC address that we see is as follows:

00: 90: 4C: 14: 43: 19

Several devices with the same MAC address cause us some problems with our development, and therefore we have two questions:

  • Is this a common problem with the Ideos U1850 phones?
  • Is there a way to change the MAC address of the phone to something else?

The idea behind a MAC address is that it is for unique global identification. I'm not sure how you see the same MAC address on multiple devices, this should never be. I know that this may not answer your question, but it should never happen in the first place.

However, you can try spoofing MAC addresses, and a quick Google search shows the following link: http://www.robmcghee.com/android/changing-the-mac-address-on-android/
