Method 1 of 2: Change your device name

   • You may find the app "Settings" in your App Drawer, which is the grid of dots on your home screen.
2. Scroll to the green "Options" section and tap About phone. On some phones this option is called Device Information.
3. Scroll down and tap Device Name.
4. Enter a new name.
5. Tap Done. Your Android device will now display the new name when connecting to Bluetooth, wireless networks, or a computer.

Method 2 of 2: Change the Bluetooth name

   • You may find the app "Settings" in your App Drawer, which is the grid of dots on your home screen.
