Handoff not working between iPhone 5 and iPad mini.

I updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 8 yesterday. I totally love it! But I can't get handoff to work. My iPad mini is a first generation. I've had them both connected to the same wifi network, and have Bluetooth turned on on both. Anyone else experiencing this?

My iPhone is the only device I've updated so I can't test out Handoff at this time. Sorry.

I have had a .mac account since the iTools days so my account works with @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com .. I was having problems with handoff working correctly a couple of betas ago and noticed that my iCloud was signed in as .mac on one device and .me on another device. When I changed all my devices to be logged into .mac viola everything starting working properly. I would start there, especially if you have a legacy account. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get it to work.

There is definitely some bugs with beta 5 and Handoff. It works with Bluetooth and while I was on my iPad and could see my iPhone listed among the Bluetooth enabled devices, I could never connect to it, and vice versa. Sometimes it would connect but most times it wouldn't. See if you can connect with each device in the Bluetooth settings section.
