RE: Problem with advertised device name BLE Interactive Command Line Interface Example

Yes! When I scan with my phone for the first time for example, the polar device has a name even when not connected with other device. I do not have the acess or can modify the name, it's the factory default. I don't think the name length is the problem, because the nRF CLI is able to print it (when the polar device is connected to some other device). I will try that recommendation and return with the result!

Thanks for the quick response!

Do you see the device name of the Polar device in other scanning devices before it has been connected to any other devices? Do you have access to the source code of the Polar device or are you able to modify its device name somehow. It is pretty long by default, so if possible, can you try reducing the device name's length? I'm not able to reproduce this on my end with an nRF device, and what I can imagine is that it won't print the device name if it's too long. Alternatively, try taking a look at the scanned_device_t and scan_device_info_get() functions in ble_m.c/.h and try modifying the "devices" function to only print device name instead of the address.
