I'm currently working in a project with three Samsumg Galaxy Tabs in Android Studio.

When I run my App the Android Device Manager shows three identical devices. Is it possible to rename those devices so I'll know which one is which before starting the app?

As of ADT revision 17, the device manufacturer and name appears after the serial number.

example: 

[Nexus s: ....]
[LG bda: ....]

here is an image

And some devices have a setting:

Homescreen -> press menu -> System settings -> applications -> development -> Device name

Here I can change the devices name which is shown in eclipse.

Unfortunately, my second development phone (Nexus-S, Stock rom with Android 2.3.4) does not have this setting - so maybe your phone has this setting...?!

  • _And some devices have a setting_ Thank you - that's exactly what I was looking for. 2 of the Galaxy Tabs are on Adnroid 4.4.2 and I was able to change the device name in the "System Information" settings. The device with Androoid 4.1.2 does not have this option. – user3840288 Jul 15 '14 at 12:25
  • -update- while the device is recognized by Windows with the updated device name, the Android Device Manager still shows three identical names for my Galaxy Tabs (Samsung-GT-N8000) – user3840288 Jul 15 '14 at 12:32
  • Have you tried to update your adt to revision 17? or it is already a higher version? – João Jul 15 '14 at 12:56
  • Also has you said the 4.1.2 device didn't worked. that happens with my Nexus-S as well. i think it might be a 4.4+ setting. – João Jul 15 '14 at 13:05
  • Sorry, forgot to mention I use Android Studio Beta (0.8.2) – user3840288 Jul 15 '14 at 13:05
