How to make iPad 2 Bluetooth recognize my bluetooth phone

My cellphone has Bluetooth but my iPad will not recognize it. How can I can get the iPad to recognize the phone?
Thanks for your help.
Vernon

I read most of these posts when I was frustrated with not being able to Bluetooth my iPad2 to my Samsung Galaxy Note II.  In the end, I resorted to Wifi tethering which was only a half way measure, as I had to keep reconnecting every day, and I really did not fancy topping up on my 3G SIM card for my iPad when my phone plan was an unlimited data one.
Well all these "you can't" posts are RUBBBISH, because you can; I have!
This is what I did - don't know if all the steps are necessary, or not...
Went to SETTINGS on the SN.  Selected Bluetooth.  Selected 'Pair Device' etc
Went to Settings on the iPad and did the same.  Keyed in the given code etc and paired them (did this a few times, but it never stayed on even though a few times they paired for seconds.  I unpaired, paired again and went through the process a few times.  i made sure that the devices were in close proximity).
It was at this point that I gave up and settled for wifi hotspot tethering.  Just 3 days ago, I was messing around on my settings on my iPad and saw that next to the Bluetooth setting was a check box which if you clicked said something about your device being discoverable, or seen, or something (I am not reversing what I have done to be certain, sorry).  I clicked it, and Bob's your uncle!  I have not been disconnected for 1s since then, and I am on my iPad for at least 4 hours a day.

  • My iTunes does not list any devices when I plug in my new iPhone to the computer.  how do I get iTunes to recognize my new phone?

    My old  iPhone died, so I just got a new one.  I am hooking it up to my computer for the first time.  The iTunes on my computer doesn't show any devices as being hooked up to the computer when I plug in my iPhone.  Yet my iPhone is charging so I know it is connected to the computer.  Any suggestions on how to get my iTunes to recognize the new device?  Thanks

    Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
    A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

    I can get to a print dialog but no printer is available.  I have an HP Pro P1102w.  It should work.

    Hi,
    Also make sure your printer's firmware is up to date, the P1102w not necessarly shipped with the latest firmware and AirPrint support has been added into the firmware on some later stage:

  • Can TP make calls via bluetooth phone?

    I am able to tether my HTC Aria and HP Touchpad via bluetooth and can receive calls on the TP  (pretty cool) but I cannot dial on the TP (select a contact) and get the phone to make the call.
    Is this even possible or is it strictly a Skype feature?
    I figure I am expecting too much since the TP is simply acting as an Bluetooth headset.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Yup. I do it with my Samsung Env 3. I know a few phones won't work but a lot do. Give it a try.
    You have to get the phone/dialer to use bluetooth instead of Skype in preferences.
