Is it possible to change GAP device name in runtime without system reset?

[rdsoft]

Hi, I am developing on a nrf51822 based board using s110 softdevice v. 6.0.0. In my program I need to change the bluetooth GAP device name in runtime during connection session. I tried to change it by sd_ble_gap_device_name_set() and sd_ble_gap_conn_param_update() funtions with no effect. Could you tell me please, if is it possible to change the GAP device name during bluettoth connection without system reset?

Thank you very much! Regards, Radek

Hi

Yes, changing GAP device name during runtime is possible and a lot of people have asked the same question. You need to call sd_ble_gap_device_name_set() and then ble_advdata_set()again whenever you want to change your device name.
