I can't get iPad 2 to link with my Android phone via Bluetooth...  Is it unable to?

I tried to get my android phone to sync with my new iPad 2 but it said it was not capable of doing so.  Is there any way around this?  Is there something else I am not doing right?

There is no way to do this as of yet iOS 4.3 added Bluetooth support but only between iOS devices.

  • How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth?

    How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth? I get the pair message on both, but after acknowledging on both devices the connection fails to establish. I looked around and everything I found had to do with file transfer. I can share access to the internet via Bluetooth and it works with other devices I've tried this with. Thanks.

    Sorry.  After re-reading my question I realized that I wasn't clear.  I don't want to transfer files.  I want to use PDANet from my android and connect my iPad for internet access via bluetooth.  I know this is a 2 way transfer of data not very different from transferring files, but I just want to be sure that this is not going to work so I can stop trying as if I'm doing something wrong.  Like I said, I can do this with any other bluetooth capable device/computer I have.  Seems like it's just not working either by design or as a result of some limitation.  I guess 2 way communication with a headset gave me hope that internet access would work.  Thanks!

    What exactly do you want to do?  Sharing is a vague word.  What do you wish to share?
    Wifi hotspot should work.

  • Help me please! I can't get on the internet with my new phone

    Can someone please help me. I purchased my Blackberry Pearl from an on-line seller and it was suposed to be new. The problem comes when I try to set up my e-mail account....I go to my e-mail set-up option and the only one that it gives me is " I want to use a work e-mail account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server" . Obviously I do not want to do this but I have no other options. I can either hit close or next and next ask me for a password from my Enterprise Server administrator. I contacted Verizon and after much run around they finally told me that this phone was connected to another Blackberry account. I don't know if they really knew what they were talking about or if they just did not want to really help me because I did not upgrade my account and buy my phone from them.  It sounds to me like they are trying to say the phone is stolen since they are saying that it is connected with another Blackberry account but if that were the case then Verizon would no be able to activate the phone and I can get it activated and make and receive calls but I cannot get on the internet with it. What good is a smart phone if you can't do everything it is supposed to do?

    Hello,
    Actually, what they told you is accurate. BIS accounts are what enable additional services (including Personal email). BIS accounts are all managed by the carriers. One BB, as defined by it's unique PIN, can have only one BIS account on one carrier in the world. If a BIS account exists somewhere else for a specific BB, then a carrier cannot create another account for it. That is the way it works. One of the reasons is of course to prevent the use of stolen items. That's not the only reason, but it's all irrelevant...if a BIS account exists somewhere for that BB, VZW cannot create one for it.
    What you need to do is to contact the seller and hope they are reputable. They need to contact their carrier and have that BIS account shut down. Only then might VZW be able to create a BIS account for you.
    Good luck!

  • Can't get iPad to sync with iTunes on Windows XP

    I have my iTunes account. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. I plug the iPad into the USB port and nothing. No window with any kind of prompting. The iPad is charged and seems to be asking me to hookup to iTunes. I have tried all 6 USB ports on my computer. The iPad was given to me as a "hand-me-down" gift. Very kind of the previous owner, but she cleared ALL her old information and I now have to start from scratch. Any advice?

  • Can an American iPad be synced with a European computer via USB

    I know that I will need an adapter if I want to charge it via the wall socket but I was just wondering is there any special adapter I need to sync the ipad with my home computer (as in will the voltage difference in europe affect the ipad plugged in through a USB)

    That is not a problem...no voltage difference between a European and US laptop through the USB port.
    Once you get past the wall outlet/charger they are the same.

    I have an iPhone 3GS and I can't get it to pair with my iPad 3rd Gen neither will discover the other any suggestions

    An iPad and iPhone cannot connect via Bluetooth unless you are trying to use a Personal Hotspot feature on your iPhone or have one of the few third-party apps that allow limited file transfer or device-to-device gaming. Unless you're attempting one of these, then any previous "pairing" was probably illusory. If you are trying to use such a thing, tell us which one and someone may be able to provide suggestions.
