Change WiFi Device Name for OV?

[tli]

Can one change the WiFi Device Name for an unrooted OV? If possible, how? The phone is displayed as 'ANDROID_[8 hex chars]' in the router's list of attached WiFi devices. Thanks for any input.

I know you say on a unrooted device.
Not sure if the option to do it is on the stock rom but...

Settings > Application > Developement > Device hostname.

Keep in mind you cant have normal spaces you have to use the "_" to put a space in.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, 'Device HostName' is not an available option on the stock ROM. It should have been included though...

Get Quick Settings and turn on wifi hotspot then pull down notification bar and touch configure hotspot.
