Hello,
I was wondering if someone could please tell me how to set my Xperia 1 to display the correct Device Name (the one I have saved in Settings)?
The screen is displaying "Xperia XZ" which was the device name in my old phone - For some reason the new device isn't displaying the new name I've saved in the phone. I don't understand what else I can do if I have already changed it in the device settings and it's still wrong.
Thank you
Hi there,
Could you send a photo clarifying more about you mean to be able to advise?
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I'm afraid I don't know how to upload photos here. However, to clarify my issue:
I have gone into Settings on my Sony Xperia 1 to save the device name as "Xperia 1". However, phone is displaying "Xperia XZ" which was the device name of my old phone. I would like to know how I can ensure the device displays the correct, current name that has been saved.
Thank you
@Marquez93 if you go to settings - about phone, device name, there you should be able to change it. Unless it is some blocked feature from your operator, however XZ instead of 1 should not show up if you have the correct device.
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, this is the route I took but for some reason the display on the phone says 'XZ' and the device name in Settings displays 'xperia 1'. This is what I would like to correct.

Hi, I hope this works as not uploaded pics previously - this should demonstrate where the phone has saved the device name as Sony Xperia XZ
Did you try to change the screen lock saver? maybe it is a customized one for Xperia XZ
I hadn't, no (I didn't realise this was a separate function to that of setting a device name).
Just tried it now and it seems to have worked - Thank you
You are most welcome, enjoy your phone
