    Hi!

    I'm trying to get the user defined device name on Android, but all I get from SystemInfo.deviceName is "<unknown>". The deviceUniqueIdentifier works, but I'd like to have something a bit more human readable. Is this a bug? Is there another way to get the device name?

    Best Regards,
    Claus

    There is currently no reliable way of getting the user defined device name - at least not to my knowledge.

    Almost 2018 and SystemInfo.deviceName for Android is still unknown. :( how am I supposed to know what they named their Android device? It works in the Editor and on iOS but not for Android. Please fix this.

    Still no reliable way to get it,

    you could try using JAVA code:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. import android.provider.Settings;
    3. ....
    4.  
    5. Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), "bluetooth_name")
    6.
