Cannot see device name in Sony Z1

Question

Hi, 
 I ran the Nordic nrftoolbox on Sony Z1 android 4.3. I found that the device name is not showing on the list as attached. Running the Nordic nrftoolbox on Samsung S4 android 4.3, I can see it. Do you know why? Thanks.

Hi,
Indeed the Sony Z1 phone does not show the device name. BluetoothDevice#getName() method on that model always returns null, instead of the device name. This is the bug in the Sony's Android. 
 You may not use getName() method any more, just parse the advertisement packet and look for Complete Local Name or Shortened Local Name fields.
We have done this workaround in nRF Toolbox 1.7.1, which should be available soon.
Thank you for the report!
