Bug Description

Both on the phone, and on the desktop there is no way to tell the difference between similar paired bluetooth devices when connecting... I have several different bluetooth receivers for headphones, in the car and in the house and garage... each uses the same chip and these devices are labeled the same so I now have to select from a list of 4 identical labels to connect to one of these.

Other environments are able to rename bluetooth devices such that it is possible to tell one device from another.
