Hi,

I am connecting a mobile device to my computer via a bluetooth. The name of the device in the firmware is VZ6005.

I wanted to change this name to a custom name.

When I tried this in my laptop [Microsoft Bluetooth Stack and a built in bluetooth adapter for HP], the name changed. Every time I tried to connect my device to my laptop, it showed my custom name.

However then I tried the same thing on desktop [with MS bluetooth stack and a bluetooth dongel. Machine running Win XP]. I changed the name, it was reflected. However, when I restarted the computer, the name changed back to VZ6005

Then I tried with a desktop running Win7[with MS bluetooth stack and a bluetooth dongel], this time the custom name persisted after restarts!

I don't think the problem is with the Bluetooth stack on the 2 OS's. I guess it is the Bluetooth adapter that matches the physical address of the device with a logical name. But I could not even understand the shown behavior.

Any help!

Thanks!
