RE: change advertised devicename

Hi,

First, this code does not use SD3 device_name_t struct, so the question about ignored write_perm (and device name value) by the new device name setting code is still valid.

Secondly I found out that ble_advertising_init to reset device name works //only// if you're currently advertising while S132v2 (same code) worked fine, no matter if you were currently advertising, connected or not

Regards

I think you have done some kind of mistake in your code. I did a quick test by modifying the Heart Rate Application in SDK 12 (see attached modified main.c). If you build and flash it, you will see that it advertises as "Nordic_HRM" initially. After a long button 2 push, it will advertise as "New".

Essentially the steps are the same as with earlier SoftDevice and SDK versions:

Call sd_ble_gap_device_name_set() with the new device name
Call ble_advdata_set(). (Using the advertising module you typically don't do this directly, but indirectly by a call to ble_advertising_start() or (as I did in the attached example) ble_advertising_restart_without_whitelist().)
