This is true for iOS as it will use the cached gap name for "known" devices and not the name from the advertisement data. I don't think it's the same with Android (not sure).

The solution is to call again err_code = ble_advertising_init(&advdata, NULL, &options, on_adv_evt, NULL);

after each name write. I use the same function than the first time advertising init called from main() and it works perfectly:

advertising_init();

When the device return to advertising mode the new name appears.

Turn the bluetooth off and on the phone has no effect.

Thank you all.

After you update the advertising name do you re-initialize the advertising with the function ble_advdata_set()? In my application I change the name and doing those 2 things seems to be all that I do.

After you make changes to the GATT server I think you must disable the bluetooth on your phone (turn it off completely). then re enable it. Now it should see the correct name. That is the case with my iphone and ipad.

I think I heard it on a Nordic Semiconductor Video. :-)

Did you try to update the advertising data? this is done by calling sd_ble_gap_adv_data_set or using the advertisement module.
