So I signed my life away for 2 years in December 2008 and got an iPhone 3G. All was well for a few months, then the ringer switch fell off -- not a problem, the phone was replaced on-the-spot at the Apple Store here in San Antonio (La Cantera).
I took the new phone home and restored from a backup. All is well. I named it "Icabod." I thought it was cute.
I manage several servers, and so Bjango's iStat and iStat Server for Mac OS X were installed on the phone. This is where things get odd.
I noticed that everywhere (iTunes, Finder, etc.), the iPhone is properly named "Icabod." However, in the iStat Server software, when I make a connection from the iPhone, the iPhone's name is reported as "Buffy"s iPhone" -- that's Buffy"s iPhone, complete with the double-quote before the 's' character. Obviously, I had gotten a refurb as a replacement when my ringer switch fell off. This, however, is not the problem, and doesn't bother me at all because the phone works 100%.
So I restored the iPhone in iTunes and chose to set it up as a new phone (NOT restoring from a backup). I named the phone, again, "Icabod," and spent the next hour reloading and rearranging all my apps to my liking.
I make another connection to iStat Server, and again, the iPhone shows up as Buffy"s iPhone. I can't seem to make it "forget" this name. I'm thinking that the double-quote in the name is somehow interfering with renaming the device on some ultra-low level of the hardware or something.
Does there exist a more deeply-reaching "restore" or "reformat" or "start over" function that I can perform to rid my phone of this name? Mind you, the phone shows up properly as "Icabod" in iTunes and such, but the fact that iStat Server shows the previous owner's phone name just bugs me. It leads me to believe that 'Buffy"s iPhone' is somehow deeply-rooted in the hardware somewhere now, and that the double-quotes are preventing a rename operation from successfully completing on some level.
Anyone got any kind of clue?
