    Did you authrorize your iPad on your Droid? I believe when you attempt to connect to the phone, it should have a screen that asks you to verify the device that's trying to connect to it. That's how I have mine set up anyway.

    No I haven't got that message before. I turn on my hotspot, set up the passphrase and I also turn on the option for enabling access control. Then when I turn on my wifi on the iPad, it finds my Android phone, I click to connect to it, enter the passphrase I set up, and then my phone asks me to okay the device that's trying to access it. Then everything works just fine.
