https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/66194/change-ble-device-nameHi, I&#39;m changing the peripheral device name by sending a command from the host over ble. I can see the changed device name after the host disconnects. Is it possible to see the changed device name without disconnecting?en-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 22 Sep 2020 16:08:15 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/270922?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Sep 2020 16:08:15 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b20b8e45-b691-44c8-862a-ef7943f43588bscdb<p>Thank you for your prompt reply!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/270723?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Sep 2020 06:18:34 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:03a22cdb-8f02-49ef-b255-7fcd052bd823Karl Ylvisaker<p>Hello,</p> [quote user=""]I can see the changed device name after the host disconnects.
