Bug - network map not saving custom name on device hosting genie
3.1.10 genie
On the main screen displays the custom name of my android tablet but does not show the same on the network map.
Restart the app and on the first page displays the original name and not the custom name, like on the network map.
Tried to refresh, enter again, hit save icon, go back to network map and still the default name.
Version 3.1.12 has fixed this problem

It won't even let me rename the icons here.

If you click around the text "unknown", usually around the middle, I get a cursor and my keyboard appears.
Seems to be a boundary issue with the text field, where the two characters on the right will not accept click into field.
What I meant was that I can change the name, but it does not save the new name, even on a per session basis.
I can change the "Type" and that does stick.

But you cannot change the Type of the connected device. I cannot tell it that what it calls my "Android device" is a tablet rather than a phone.

Yes, with the 3.1.12 android version we are able to change the name but not the device type.
