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.
iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.6
You can tether your iPad to your Android phone but I would suggest you try doing so via WiFi first.
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!
You can't pair the two devices for the transfer of anything. Bluetooth in iOS is for using speakers, keyboards, earphones, and some peer to peer gaming.

Cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. are the way to share files across platforms.
