Name and MacAddress is 00:12:12...

after conection the serial1.Name is Idea (the Android)
the Name of the BT Modul should be linvor (this I can see on my WinXP Notebook)

These values come from the Bluetooth native API layer. Which means that there is nothing that can be done about it.

OK

but why the PC shows the right Name and the Android only the MAC

My Phone (Nokia) is shown as C00 in PC and Android

I tried to give the BT Modul an other name
Nothing changes

Serial.Name is not relevant, you are correct. You can check the value in the Map returned from GetPairedDevices.

with GetPairedDevices it works very well

is it possible to modify the BT example so that direct after "founddevice" it will show the right name?

I don't know why the name is different in DeviceFound event. It should show the correct name.

After the device is paired you can go over the paired devices and find its name.
