The following is a copy of what I posted at "gaming.stackexchange.com" http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/236232/ipad-mini-2-settings-for-local-mcpe-0-12-1-server -------------------- My son and I have a problem creating and joining a local MCPE (0.12.1) server with his new iPad mini 2 (iOS 8.4.1 (12H321)). I know this might be a tough one to "break" - Cause there's A LOT of settings to poke around with on the iPad.
I have an old iPad 1 (OS 5.1.1 (9B206)) and a Samsung Galaxy Tab (don't know which one) both tablets have MCPE 0.12.1 installed. These two tabs have no problem creating/hosting/joining a local server - But the Mini can't see or join a server created with the above tablets. But! sometimes we're able to get it to show and join/host a server right after it has been rebooted - But after a minute or two it disconnects.
Wifi signal is very good - "Local Server Multiplayer" is enabled on all tablets - We're also using the correct IP's/ports. --------------------
Might be an iOS 8.4.1 issue - Could also be a MCPE issue..
I think I have the same issue..
