site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com Hi, That's a pretty good question. From my use of the bluetooth API on OS X i never came across something that hints that that's possible. But I'd love to know about that too... Lets wait and see about all the guru's out there.

Hello,
is there a way to change the bluetooth name in OS X from an application? By "bluetooth name" I mean the string that other bluetooth devices can obtain by doing a bluetooth inquiry and resolving the bt-address to a name. It can be done manually by changing it at System Preferences --> Sharing --> Computer Name but can it also be done using the Bluetooth API or from the command line?
I already found out that the information about the name is stored in the file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist (the key is "ComputerName"). However, changing the name and restarting blued doesn't seem to have any impact, the actual bluetooth name didn't change in my tests.
Any ideas about that?
Thomas
