Change device name programmatically in android

Question

I need to change my phone device name not the bluetooth name.

I need to change the one which we get by doing this,

android.os.Build.MODEL;

Current Output: H30-U10

You need root permissions on your Phone. When you have it, you can follow this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15407289/programmatically-edit-the-properties-of-build-prop-on-android — TheTanic, Jun 26 '15 at 08:23

You can access the devices model name manufacturer but you are not supposed to change it.
The only way to do so is "ROOTING" the Device.

Try to do below -

private BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter = null;
bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();

void ChangeDeviceName(){
     Log.i(LOG, "localdevicename before: "+bluetoothAdapter.getName(); //before
     bluetoothAdapter.setName("name_what_you_want");
     Log.i(LOG, "localdevicename after: "+bluetoothAdapter.getName(); //after

 }
