RE: Completely Removing Device Name from adveritisng packet

Hey,

Thanks for your answer,

My problem is that I wish to filter based on 128bit UUID, without Scan Response (extra time for back and forth packets and extra handling by mobile). iOS to my understanding are unable to filter based on Device Name or Company ID, iOS can filter only based on Service UUID, so Device Name actually just takes up space in the advertisement packet, forces me to use Scan Response.

I will be happy to hear what you think

Thanks and have a great day

Possible, yes. Good idea, no: There are TONS of devices in a crowded city that don't have a name. Trying to find which one is yours would be very difficult for uses that need to manually pair/bond a device using default OS UI (e.g. Windows).

It would probably much simpler to put some data (like 128 Bit UUID) into the scan response. This extends advertisement data by 100% and is supported by SDK12.
