Q: Is an iPad Bluetooth compatible with an android operating smart phone

I have a ZTE Valet Tracfone smart phone, with an android operating system. I am trying to connect this phone with my iPad via Bluetooth. With both systems turned on, they each recognize each other, but will not pair. Are the systems compatible, and if so, how do I get them to pair?

iPad, iOS 6.1.3

A:

iPhone/iPad will not allow that through Bluetooth. You can't transfer anything from the iPhone to the other phone.

These are the supported Bluetooth profiles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

There is no support for Bluetooth connections to PCs or iPhones except for Internet Tethering (Personal Hotspot via PAN on iPhone) or for using third-party apps that provide peer-to-peer Bluetooth connectivity between iOS devices running the same app (such as photo sharing apps, e.g., Photo Transfer, multi-player games, etc).

What are you trying to do between these 2 devices over Bluetooth?

Thanks. I am trying to transfer music files from the iPad to the phone via Bluetooth. I can get to the stage where you pair both devices entering the similarity code, however the iPad continues to not connect. The iPad shows to be paired with the phone on the phone.
