Device search returns devices with zero length strings

When I conduct a search of Bluetooth devices I will normally get a list of
devices but one or more will not have a name.

Any one know how I can always get names from the devices in the area?

Thank you,

Even a device has a name, you may not get the name in the first round. Try to
run it a few round, you'll get the name.

Hope this will help.

some people havent set one on their phone but their bluetooth is on.
Or maybe their things like headsets. Or hidden.
