How to read advertising BLE devices' name?

[Bk37]

I've google the heck out of this, but I feel like I'm missing something because there are zero results.

I am developing a BLE central device, and the program is supposed to scan for advertising BLE devices, and list their address and name. Since the program is based off the "BLE Central" example, I have no issue reading their addresses, however, I cannot figure out how to read device names (e.g. "Zephyr BLE Module").

I know the BLE devices are advertising their names because I can see their names when I use the nRF Connect bluetooth app, but I want to be able to see their names through my own program, and print it to the console.

If it matters, the peripheral device is using the "BLE Peripheral" example.

I get the same problem when I want to get the  BLE devices' name

      the "BLE Central"  can only get  31-Bytes adv data in "device_found()" callback,   but the device-name need more than 31-Bytes

         in "nRF Connect"  I get the BLE-device like this:

                          

     but in the "BLE Central" example, can only get 31-Bytes adv data like this:

           

        How can i get more than 31-Bytes adv data in  "device_found()" callback?

in "device_found()" callback:  I can only get the type: 0x01 0x06  0xFF,  and the 0xFF 0x09 after this can't get

Hi, 

In order to keep things clean, could you kindly create a new ticket with your issue and also include which SDK and device you are using?
