The current firmware (v0.4.1) does not support changing the device name. We are planning on adding this feature in a later firmware release.

@samsgates I've discovered you can change the device name using the Nordic nRF Master Control Panel app which talks to any BLE device. Get it here for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp

Hi,
Has this feature been included in the latest android API? If yes, can you tell me how to use it?

Thanks,
Deepak

Code snippet is available on the Android docs page:https://mbientlab.com/androiddocs/#settings. You can also change the device name with the MetaWear App using the "Settings" panel.
