This is a new feature request of Settings app. Current implementation (showing "Unknown device" has no problem since it's our UX design. ni? product manager Bruce Huang to see if we're going to put this in  bt team's backlog, but this is not 1.3T blocking for sure.

Having said that, once devicefound event is fired to Gaia, device address would definitely be available for Gaia app (Settings app here) to show to the user. Therefore it's easy for you to revise Settings app to achieve your goal. Although I'm not that familiar with Bluetooth related code in Gaia, the line in the following link should be the right place to start with.

I saw mac OSX also apply the rule `show mac address (as format A0-B1-C2-D3-E4-F5) instead of Unknown device`

Just want to confirm we'd like to have it as well.

After talking with Helen, we decided to present the device name as " Device A0-B1-C2-D3-E4-F5 ".

Helen will upload the UI design as the format which we chose.
