Z3 change device Name

Nash07 — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 10:36:24 GMT

I want to change my device name from my Xpeira Z3 Compact.

I mean the name which is shown when I look with another device to find my Bluetooth, WiFi-Connect or my Hot Spot.

For the moment I get an technical name like: "Xpeira Z3 Compact_b325" I like to change it in a name that makes me specificly find my device.

For example like "Z3_[myName] _007"

Other Android Smartphones have this somewhere in the device settings but I could not find in my new Z3 Compact.

Thanks for your help.

regards

Go to settings > bluetooth > turn it on > tap on the 3 dots ( Options key) and select rename device

Hi Nabeel

Thanks for your replay.

Thats the only thing I found out myself.

But the Hot Spot still shows me the device as "Xpeira Z3 Compact_b325".

Where can I change this?

Settings then More then Tethering and mobile hotspot then Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings then open the top option Configure Wi-Fi hotspot

Hi there

For some odd reason, "rename this device" is greyed out?

any reason for this or workaround?
