https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/21702/renaming-deviceI&#39;m trying to rename my device using s130, but the name doesn&#39;t get applied. I went back to the &quot;roots&quot;, ie the HRS sample. Just before entering the loop, I add a name change: advertising_start(); ble_gap_conn_sec_mode_t sec_mode; BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_OPENen-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 24 Jul 2017 07:02:59 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/85251?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 24 Jul 2017 07:02:59 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:02647445-6e45-4423-8861-b121f5c3cf33J&#248;rgen Holmefjord<p>It should not stop your advertising. You need to check any error codes in the advertising_init fuction, to make sure it is not returning any errors.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/85252?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 22 Jul 2017 14:54:14 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b0606681-f436-4bae-8aa0-16ef30720b83Jonathan<p>When calling advertising_init, it actually caused my device to stop advertising (I was calling it while a central is connected). I replaced with ble_advdata_set, it&#39;s now working. I don&#39;t know if it&#39;s an expected behaviour, but I wanted to document it.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/85250?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 28 Apr 2017 06:50:48 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:18456239-acab-4337-81dd-b4289a49d04eJ&#248;rgen Holmefjord<p>Hi,</p> <p>You will have to update the advertising data after setting the new name, if you want the new name to be visible when advertising. This can be done by calling <code>advertising_init</code>, or setting the advertising data directly using <code>ble_advdata_set</code>.</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Jørgen</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
