This issue is still present for me, except that the name of the mobile
device is not shown at all anymore...

bq Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Edition:
* OS build number: OTA-13
* Ubuntu Image part: 20160913
* Ubuntu build description: Ubuntu 15.04 - armhf (20160913-023544)
* Device Image part: 20160606
This feature would be very useful for my family. We have 3 bq Aquaris
E4.5 and sometimes it's not that easy to figure out which device is
whose :)

Title:
Unable to change device name in bluetooth settings.
Thanks @Simon - your answer makes it clearer to a user like myself what
is going on/how this works, and I'm sure one of the Community/Canonical
Developers will appreciate your input... I know I did.

@Gregory: Sure. I was just trying to get this right from the technical
point of view. Its a matter of just being able to set the alias from
the settings app nothing else.

@Simon
Your technical description makes sense...
But at this stage, Ubuntu on smartphones/phablets/tablets does not allow
users to set an alias ("Bluetooth device friendly name") for a bluetooth
device (host OR slave), meaning that users are stuck with whatever
ACTUAL name the manufacturer has al
Just for the correct wording: The user can't change the device name.
What he can only do is to set an alias which is then passed next to the
actual device name. The alias is also known as the "Bluetooth device
friendly name". See

api
