This is expected because not all devices advertise a name.

Do you have a peripheral where you expect a name and don't get one?

Yes, sometimes the same device returns the name and deviceId and sometimes just the deviceId. I noticed this by keeping track of the deviceId since on Android it corresponds to the Mac address and never changes unlike on iOS. I tried to do several scanning tests with nRF connect and I didn't encounter this problem, so I decided to write here to ask if anyone has had the same problem.

Thanks

@emanueletoffolon I have the same problem under Android.
Sometimes it's the ID of the devices, sometimes it's the name (as per BLE GAP).
It's inconsistent and I wonder if this has to do with some caches on the Android part regarding "known devices" (but I'm far from being a specialist).

I'm referring to the Android pop-up listing the found devices after a requestLEScan() call.
