Google play tracks the imei. They have said this over and over. I trust them more than some nobody on a blog.

okay what are they using to uniquely identify an activation so that it only counts once?

+1 your head is full of them if you think those numbers are not inflated. Do they count deactivations? How about reactivations or multiple activations? You know Obummers twitter account has over 700000 false followers?

Google only counts one activation per phone. They have stated that time and time again.

Google has said time and time again that they count activations by the App store activation first activation) and not every time a factory reset is done or OS install. When you see phone activated message, that means it activated back to the cellular network. Google said very plainly that each phone is only counted once. Have you been under a rock?

Um you think the word (new) in front of activations was omitted by accident? I don’t think so..
