Android phone won't connect with Gopro wifi

I'm hoping someone here has a solution. My droid recognizes the hero3 wifi and says it's connected, but the wifi symbol on my phone stays white instead of blue. I've heard of routers having this issue with android phones, but that fix involves switching the routers output to 'g' only, which you obviously can't do with a gopro. Maybe I'm missing something really simple (hopefully). Thanks

Well it's bluetooth isn't it? So are you just looking at the wrong symbol or did you just mean bluetooth instead of wifi

isnt it wifi? granted this video uses the hero2 with wifi bacpac, the hero3 has that built in. I did all of the firmware updates and everything seems to work fine except the bars never turn blue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RTYouZhepSU

check if there is a blue light flashing on the go pro to see if the wifi on the gopro is even onnnn.

haha yes the wifi is on. it is recognized by the phone, i named the signal and connect with my password (seemingly successfully). it shows signal strength, etc but then will not turn blue (the symbol literally turns from white to blue). It's similar to when it says youre connected on a pc but then you cant open your browser... except I know ways to fix that haha.
