Laptop sees different Bluetooth device name????

[Empgamer]

Seems a bit odd this. Have a HTC Tytn II and am very pleased (just trying to determine if I actually NEED the various software I'm trialling such as Mobile Shell or whether it's just NICE to have!!). Only one issue that's not a big deal but I cannot fathom how it's happening.

I flashed the device with the new HTC WM 6.1 ROM and before connecting or doing anything I gave the device a name under About/Device ID. Now, when I switch on bluetooth and make discoverable to connect to the laptop for bluetooth syncs the laptop sees the device fine but actually recognises it as my name and not the device name which I gave the TyTn. Like I say, no big deal but I can't fathom how to get the correct device name to come up. Is it something on the device or the PC. Main concern is that if I want to connect with other people's devices and tell them the device name I have entered, it may not show up. Odd??? :confused:

this is just a case of your PC "remembering" the BT MAC address of your phone and associating it with the old name.

You can normally clear out your PC of old BT names no longer needed.

On PC - go to START> Control Panel> Bluetooth > Devices
Just click on device name and select "remove".

When you re-pair it should see the new name.

Hope this helps you.

That's great, thanks. I'm about TyTn'd out now having spent the best part of a week doing nothing else but learning it, flashing it, installing apps and inputting data. Yesterday was a particular marathon!!! I'll have a look at this tomorrow.
