Official Particle Android app is unable to see new Photon's

@ido, thanks for the reply, but having another SSID than Photon-xxxx does not mean it can't be a Photon device.
I would not have proposed this if there wasn't a valid reason for this.

AFAIK there is no easy to use API (e.g. like System.get("")) to readout the stored name. You could read the DCT area where this info is stored tho’ But you could flip the logic round and set your own SSID - then you do know what to display System.set(SYSTEM_CONFIG_SOFTAP_PREFIX, "Prefix"); System.set(SYSTEM_CONFIG_SOFTAP_SUFFIX, "Suffix"); But then you need to know that CLI and Particle mobile apps won’t find your device via “Photon-xxxx” anymore.

I also didn't suggest the app should display all SSIDs it sees, but allow for the user to enter a custom SSID (or select from a list which could be displayed on demand only) just in case the app can't find the Photon based device (be it for any obscure reason, as the topic here well illustrates or since the owner decided to change the Photon's own SSID).

@ido

No reason for the phone not to see photon SSIDs.

Even worse then that I have three Android Phones where the app doesn't see the one and only active Photon-xxxx SoftAP (but that's irrespective which of my Photons I try).
Huawei Mate 8 (Android v7)
Huawei P10 Lite (Android v7)
Samsung Galaxy S5 (Android v6)
But as said above, the Phone itself can see the SoftAP and connect to it.
