When I look into the logs of my router, I have trouble identifying my own phone.

How can I change the name of my phone, on my nexus 4 running latest Android OS, without rooting it? Is it even possible?

Developer options > Device Hostname should get you where you need to go. You may need to mash "build number" in "About phone" a few times to make the Developer Options appear in your settings app...

EDIT: Apparently that's for CyanogenMod only. Without that option, you'll need root...
