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

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.

Changing Device Name at Runtime: Yes, provided the connection should not exist at that instance of time.

So probable sequene should be:

Disconnect, - Stop doing adv. -> Change name and set new gap_device name -> update param-> also update the adv params for the recently changed name.
Now start adv -> you should see the updated name so broadcasting.

I know i have given then answer briefly, i hope you will figure it out. And that how i also carried out for not only changing name but also to change some bits in data packet which was essential for the corresponding project.
