Research direction

Start by reproducing the Display-Name behavior while controlling another device from Android, then compare it with control from Windows or Linux. Trace the Display-Name setting referenced in the linked documentation and identify where the Android path differs. Done means the configured display name works when Android controls another device, with a regression test covering the case.
