title: Change the Android bluetooth device name
body: <p>I know it's possible to get the local device name as described in the solution to this question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6662216/display-android-bluetooth-device-name">Display Android Bluetooth Device Name</a></p>
  
  <p>What I'm interested in knowing is, can I change the local buetooth name (the one other devices see when I'm in discovery mode) programaticlly.  I know you can change it by hand, but I'm writing and app and I want to be able to change the name (add a simple flag) so other devices with the same application can scan and instantly know if the phone is also running the app.</p>
  
  <p>tl;dr: How can I change the bluetooth device name on android?</p>
