Steps to reproduce

  1. Settings -> change your display name

Outcome

What did you expect?

What happened instead?

App is blocked by a spinner, which after a few minutes changes to a "server taking too long, try again later" error dialog

Even though the error tells me that the display name update failed, it's actually succeeded

I'm not sure there's much we can do from the client side unless we want to to break away from being in sync with the homeserver and use our own local name whilst attempting to update in the background
