Changing device name dynamically

Thanks Vidar! I have figured out the issue. I need to disconnect first and then reinitialize and restart advertising after ble_evt_dispatch() returns. I set a flag in nus_data_handler to be true when the device name changed and check at the end of ble_evt_dispatch() if the state is disconnected and the flag is true. If so, set the flag to false and reinitialize and restart advertising.

Hi,

You can't start connectable advertising while connected unless you have a project that supports multiple connections, hence the NRF_ERROR_CONN_COUNT error. But It should be sufficient to call sd_ble_gap_device_name_set(); and advertising_init(); The new device name will be used when your device starts advertising after the phone has disconnected.

Best regards,

Vidar
