Q: Airdrop and Hotspot enabled

I have an Iphone 5 that Airdrop works just fine on.  I also have an IpadAir however I couldn't get Airdrop to work.  I did all of the basic troubleshooting but it still wasn't working.  Then I turned off my hotspot and now it worked!!  I was happy to figure out the solution however now I have to turnoff my hotspot everytime I want to share something.  Plus if someone wants to share something with me they can't locate me until I turn off my hotspot.  It really takes away the versatility of the feature.

 

Is this something I have to live with or is there a fix for this?

iPad, iOS 7.0.4
