Bold 9930 Bridge Application for Playbook

Greetings,
I am currently in Afghanistan with the coalition forces,I just ordered a blackberry playbook to use with my Bold 9930 and I cannot access the app store to download bridge here in this country because it is not supported. I am not going to be in a country with access to the app store for some time. I tried to contact Blackberry and RIM via email to see if they could help and have gotten no where. Apparently they want you to spend lots of money on their products yet offer no support..... This forum is my last option in getting the Bridge app. Can anyone assist me? 

Hello PatrickCGross,
I can feel your frustration. Indeed the BlackBerry AppWorld is not currently available in Afghanistan, and you do need it to download BlackBerry Bridge on your 9930. There is no other official way.
On the other hand, you can find some Bridge installer published by individuals. Maybe on the crackberry.com forums. I would not trust them, but maybe you would.
But I don't have the Bridge (my smartphone is a corporate one and I am not allowed to install the Bridge on it) and I am very happy with my PlayBook. and of course I am aware that you may have different needs than me.
But if you look at the bright side, you have a wonderful BlackBerry 9930 device, and next to it, a great tablet for viewing videos & playing Need For Speed.

  • Applications for my blackberry playbook.

    Hi,
    my name is eddie and i live in Guyana i receintly baught a blackberry playbook, my main problem is that App World is not supported in my country and i'm trying to get new applications for my device. 
    My question is, is there anyway that i can get the App World to work or any other alternative ways of getting applications on my device? Plz help me out asap!
    Thank you.

    Hi Eddie,
    Sorry that you can't get AppWorld in your country.
    You can use a proxy to access AppWorld. There are some sites online that offer a list of publix proxies:
    http://www.xroxy.com/proxy-country-US.htm
    But these are very slow.
    There are some paid services that give you faster proxy access.
    Alternatively, you can do what I do and use Amazon to create a personal (and high-speed) proxy:
    http://home.engineering.iastate.edu/~hawklan/squidProxy/squidProxy.html
    Once you have your proxy details to hand, go into the wifi connections options, edit your wifi connection and add the proxy details there.
    Before you open AppWorld, I'd suggest loading a web page first just to check it is all working.
    I hope that this helps you!

  • Unlock code for bold 9930

    I am looking for the unlock code for bold 9930 so that I can use it in Europe

    Each phone has it's own unique code.  If you're a customer in good standing with Verizon for at least 6 months they should provide the unlock code for your device for free. Just explain that you're traveling overseas and want to use a local pre-paid SIM while you're there.
    There are paid unlocking services at varying prices. I personally have great luck with Horizon Wireless Online. They charge between $20 and $25 a pop. There are cheaper alternatives but they are often scams. And remember - if you enter the wrong code 10 times then the phone is locked forever to the original carrier.

  • SIM card switch for Bold 9930

    Help! I have a Blackberry Bold 9930 and I would like to switch to a used phone I purchased, a Samsung Droid Charge! Will my SIM card be compatible? I attempted to activate the phone online and Verizon gave me an error when I entered the SIM card number that was in my Bold. Any suggestions?

        Hi VolleyIL!
    You will need a 4G SIM card to activate your Samsung Droid Charge device as indicated by ttipgem (thanks!). You can pick one up (free) at any Verizon Wireless store http://bit.ly/3SdsA or we can send you one if you call *611 on your phone.

  • Why is it so difficult to get an answer on how to connect a Blackberry Bold 9930 to a Windows 7 PC?

    I've been jumping through hoops for days trying to get my brand new Blackberry Bold 9930 to connect to either of my two PCs. It will not connect to my new MacBook Pro or a new Windows 7 laptop. I am up to date on all software. This is very frustrating. Can anyone please help? I've read article after article and I cannot believe RIM does not post a fix for this. I've wasted hours trying to get this thing to work. It is no wonder people are moving away from Blackberry. 

    Hello,
    Well, it works just fine for many people...and there's no way to know, from your post, why it's not working for your specific situation...which quite naturally would preclude posting any sort of fix to your situation. From what you've said, all I can recommend is this:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
    It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
    Of course, if we could know more about what exactly is going on in your situation, we might be able to provide you with better guidance...but from a report that basically boils down to "it's not working", there's really no direction to go in seeking out help for your specific situation. Details about exactly what you try and exactly what results may be more helpful.
    Also, here is the list of other troubleshooting articles...hopefully something will be useful:

    Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
    Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
    Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.
    Hopefully something there is helpful!
    Good luck!

  • Bold 9930 + Bluetooth + Garmin nuvi 3590LMT + SMS + Text

    I have a Bold 9930. I have had the Garmin for about a month and have been using hands free calling.  About 10 days after using the Garmin, I got a text message and the Garmin offered to read it to me which it did.  After powering down the Garmin it has never relayed text messages from my Bold.  Never before and never after that one time.  It read one regular Verizon text message and one Facebook Messenger (app not the facebook app) message.  Never read a Blackberry Messenger message.  One did come in while I was traveling (BBM) and was not read.  When connecting via bluetooth: Bold says it connected with the garmin and green check box filled for hands free AND Message center.  I haven't been able to restore this function.  Basically it just started working for one day and never since. 

    It does not support sending SMS via the Bluetooth. There is no upgrade to allow that, and I am not aware of any third party application which would enable it, either.
    Good luck.

  • How to set up Airport Express in Bridge mode for hotel use

    Please provide step by step instructions on how to set up Airport Express in Bridge mode for hotel use. I do not have a computer with me, only an iPhone and AEX 802.11n.

    +"Please provide step by step instructions on how to set up Airport Express in Bridge mode for hotel use. I do not have a computer with me, only an iPhone and AEX 802.11n."+
    AirPort Utility is the application that must be used to setup and make any configuration changes to the AirPort Express. I'm not aware of an "App" for this.
    If you could borrow a computer from someone there for 30 minutes or maybe use the computer in the lobby, you could download AirPort Utility and reconfigure your Express. To help with setup, use an ethernet cable from the computer to the Express to help AirPort Utility "see" the Express.

  • Sync of bold 9930 w software 7.1bundle to outlook home&business 2013 and gmail account

    problem with sync of gmail google and blackberry Bold 9930 with 7.1 bundle software.
    Device has best file current setup not syncing device, computer and account.

    Hi,
    I found a similar thread and a solution:
    Back up all your code / projects etc.
    Close outlook.
    Search for VbaProject.OTM (or whatever file is used to store your projects, there may be more than one)
     It should be [Drive]:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
    Move this file to another location.
    Open outlook.
    Go into VBA and recreate your projects from your backups.
    You should now be able to bring up the digital signature option without it crashing.
    This seems to apply to both Outlook 2010 64 bit and Outlook 2013 64 bit.

  • Arabic language for PlayBook os 2

    I'm from egypt and i use Arabic language and i heard that there are Arabic language for PlayBook but i can't git or fiend it 
    Please help me to install Arabic language for my PlayBook 
    Thank you 

    Dear Sir or Madam
    I recently bought one of your products, the Blackberry Playbook. It is a great tablet and powerful. I speak English but my mother tongue is Arabic. Because I had a Blackberry phone and the Arabic language is fully supported in all blackberry phones so I thought that there will be no problem with the Playbook regarding Arabic language support.
    However, unfortunately, my guess was wrong. The tablet does not support Arabic language. When using the bridge feature the Arabic letters are displayed unconnected and in the wrong direction (from the left to right instead from right to left).
    This makes the Playbook useless for me in many situations, for example when presenting documents for conference.
    I am writing to you to know if there is a fix for this or if you are updating the language support for the playbook in short coming time.
    Please do not use the word soon, as this word lost its meaning when Google abused its use. The life of an electronic gadget is very short these days, so the full support should be available for the user to benefit from the gadget.
    In addition, Blackberry phones are very popular in the Middle East and many people, which I know, said to me they will never buy the Playbook if there is no Arabic language support, (I discovered this after I bought the playbook).
    If you are aiming high and looking to compete with the leading producer in the tablet market, then just look at how it is easy to change the interface language in the Apple iPad.

  • Desktop 7 and GroupWise 6.5 with a Bold 9930

    Hello,
    I've got several users with Bold 9930 devices unable to sync GroupWise 6.5 with Version 7 of the desktop software.
    I have a Bold 9630 with Desktop Version 6 and I sync just fine.
    Has RIM dropped support for wired syncing with GroupWise 6.5 in Desktop Version 7?
    OS on Problem PCs - Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit SP1
    OS on Problem-Free PC - Windows XP Pro 32-Bit SP3
    Thanks.

    Well, can I revert back to Desktop 6 to sync GroupWise calendar and contacts with a Bold 9930?

  • NEED HELP?  Bold 9930 or Razr?

    I need help from the community since researching sites like Consumer Reports has been leading to more confusion than answers.
    I am looking to replace my 2+ year old Blackberry 8330 and am torn between new BB Bold 99330 and Motorola Razr.  My primary uses of a smart phone are:
    + email (I monitor 4 accounts on VERIZON.NET)
    + contact
    + calendar
    + browser
    + password keeper
    + memo
    + brickbreaker (for downtime, of course).
    + camera
    How good is the Bold 9930 in supporting these capabilities?
    I was looking forward to 4G but am starting to believe that the Android world is too Google (and gmail) centric,
    I know this is a broad question, but any help from the community would be appreciated.

    Hello EMT_R,
    Good to hear you're ready to upgrade to your next, new device!  I would like to provide you a link that can assist you with choosing the right smartphone, based on your needs and interests.

  • Cannot build for PlayBook

    I'm trying to install an AIR mobile (flex) application on BlackBerry Playbook.
    I managed to publish many successful builds of my app for all Blackberry devices EXCEPT Playbook.
    The application failed to installed with this following error message "failure 821 Application-requires-system :unrecognized system name "BlackBerry10".
    I am using FlashBuilder 4.7 with AIR 3.1 SDK and I am using Adobe and Blackberry ANEs to build the app.
    Is the AIR SDK I am using (3.1) is correct for Playbook ? It DOES work for all other BlackBerry device.. ? Any ideas what might cause this ?
    Thanks !

  • Cannot get numeric soft keyboard for Playbook to work.

    I cannot get the numeric softkeybard to activate for a textinput component in my Flex 4.6 mobile application for a BB Playbook.
    Here is what I have done (along with many other configurations):
    My app.xml
    <fullScreen>false</fullScreen>
    <renderMode>cpu</renderMode>
    <softKeyboardBehavior>none</softKeyboardBehavior>
    My main app
    <s:ViewNavigatorApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
                            xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                            firstView="views.View1"
                            applicationDPI="160"
                            splashScreenImage="SplashScreenImage"
                            resizeForSoftKeyboard="true">
    <fx:Declarations>
        <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
    </fx:Declarations>
    <!--  set up a home button on the views -->
    <s:navigationContent>
        <s:Button icon="@Embed('assets/home.png')" click="navigator.popToFirstView()"/>
    </s:navigationContent>
      </s:ViewNavigatorApplication>
    In my first view here is a sample textinput line
    <s:TextInput id="txtNumber" softKeyboardType="number" width="50%" restrict="0-9" textAlign="right"   enter="enterKeyHandlerFunction()"/>
    I have also tried importing the flash.text.SoftKeyboardType I have also changed the above line to softKeyboardType="{SoftKeyboardType.NUMBER}"
    I am obviously doing something wrong or the numeric keyboard does not work for the PlayBook.
    Has anyone got it working for the PlayBook and if so do you have any ideas for me.
    Playbook has AIR 3.1
    I am in development and I package with captive runtime.  Desktop has AIR 3.2
    cheers,

    I realise that and I thought the StageTextInputSkin was the default skin for textinput for a mobile app.  But I added it manually to the textinput line above. ie:
    skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.StageTextInputSkin"
    but still the same result. NO numeric keyboard on the PlayBook.  Any other ideas?
    cheers,

  • BlackBerry World / Bold 9930

    I own a Bold 9930.  I need to download an app for my vehicle.  When I click on the BlackBerry App World icon, it says "To continue using BlackBerry App World, you must upgrade your current version.  For more information, please visit www.blackberry.com/appworld/support."  Below that is an "Upgrade" button.  When I click on it, it takes me to the BlackBerry World page where an "Upgrade today" button is displayed.  When I click on that button, the following message appears:  "Sorry, your session has expired.  Please close all of your browser windows and then return to the welcome page again."  However, I did not have any browser windows open.  Please help.  Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is a KB that discusses that error:
    KB32113 When attempting to update the BlackBerry App World storefront via the BlackBerry Browser the following error is displayed. "Sorry your session has expired. Please close all of your browser windows and then return to the welcome page to start again"
    Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
    Good luck and let us know!
