This sounds extremely petty, but I can't change the device name on my 770. When I first got my 770, I set a device name to a random place holder (after checking to insure that it could be changed later). I am now trying to change the device name and am unable to. I even resorted to Reading The Funny Manual, but no luck.

Google has been no help, and I can't find any discussion in these forums, so I thought I'd asked if anyone else was capable of changing the device name.

Here's what I'm doing (what I tried before reading the manual is the same as what is described in the manual):

Control panel --> Device --> Name

change value in the text field next to "My device's name:"

click "OK"

When I click on "Device" again, the text field that I just changed has reverted to the previous value.

Rebooting does not seem to help either. I suppose I could re-flash and start over (or upgrade (I'm running 2.2005.45-7)). Would appreciate any feedback if others have had this problem and/or testing to see if this problem is limited to me.

Thanks.

I’m running the same rel.ver. as you, no problem with renaming the device.

Thanks for the information. If this problem is just me/my 770, I'll re-flash the unit tonight and see if that fixes it.

I have this same problem but whenever I go back it is blank.
Let me know if you fixed it.

I'll be sure to reply to this thread if/when I figure it out (or fix it without figuring it out).
