In addition to your username and password, the Chumby app asks for a device name.

If you already have a Chumby device, you will probably assume they are asking for that device’s name, in order to authenticate you.

In reality, the Chumby application is asking you to create a name for your Android phone! It wants you to put in a new name, such as “My Android Chumby” (or whatever you want it to be).

If you put in the name of an existing device, or if you leave it blank, it won’t work.

You need to create a brand new device name for the Chumby Android app.

There, see? Wasn’t that an easy trick?

Happy Chumbying!
