Bridge Browser icon missing - even though connected on BES

The Bridge Browser icon has disappeared off my Playbook.
Before you tell me it's OS2 it's not - the Playbook is connected to a BES smartphone, and I've had OS2 since I first got the Playbook and it's only now that the icon has gone.
I've tried a reset, I've tried re-pairing the tablet and the phone. All the other Bridge icons are there and the tablet is fuctioning normally other than this.
Any help is much appreciated.

Bridge Browser icon missing after the upgrade to OS2

I have suddenly realised that the Bridge Browser icon has been missing from my PlayBook after the Upgrade to OS2. My service provider data plan supports browsing and I use to do that earlier on OS1. Now a days, since I am mainly using Mifi device...did not use Bridge Browser....BUT suddenly realised that this icon is missing.....
Any idea what I need to do to get that icon back on PlayBook? and also use it....

It's really funny...The OS2 manual says that there will be an icon for Bridge Browser....but in reality...you do not require any separate bridge browser icon...Browser main icon works for both...wifi connection as well as bridge connection....
I am surprised, why RIM has not highlighted this fact in its OS2 manual.....
Anyways....my problem is resolved....

Navigating the iTunes store. Where's the browse icon gone?

The used to be a browse icon, I'm sure. An eye symbol.
Where's it gone? I find it impossible to navigate the iTunes store unless I know what I want. There used to be a way to navigate by a list tree type thing: by genre, performer, etc... Has that function be lost?

Apple no longer sells games for any iPods except the touch. Sorry, but unless you already had them downloaded to your iTunes account, you can't get them now.

Bridge Browser Missing

The Bridge application works well but the Bridge Browser Icon is missing. All the rest of the icons are there and work fine but I have no Bridge Browser Icon. Is it different from the regualr browser icon on the playbook? Do I need to activate something on the phone to get the browser to carry over to the playbook?

I don't think that's the issue. From what I've seen, there is no longer an icon for Bridge Browser but I noticed Bridge Browser now appears to be automatic. Turn off WiFi and tethering on your Playbook and try loading a page. It should think for a second and then load running from your BlackBerry connection through the Bridge, but it won't tell you it's doing it. I tried it this morning because I was thinking the same, that I had lost Bridge Browser but sure enough it worked.

Playbook & Bridge 2.0 - Bridge browser not available on Playbook

I have a Torch 9800/6.0 OS - Carrier Telus Mobility.
Upgraded Playbook to 2.0 this morning and Bridge on Smartphone to new 2.0 version. When accessing Bridge on Playbook; Bridge Browser is no longer an option. I also have a enterprise activated torch 900/6.0 OS on Rogers. Same version of BlackBerry Bridge. If I pair my Playbook with the Rogers/enterprise activated Torch the Bridge Broswer shows up on Playbook; when I pair my Playbook with teh Telus/personal Torch, no Bridge Broswer shows up. All other Bridge options are there.
Any suggestions? Is this a RIM or Carrier issue?

I actually have Bridge on the Playbook and it is there when testing with both devices and the options that display when you click on Bridge all work. The issue I have is that Bridge Browser icon/option does not even appear under Bridge. It does when connecting to the same type of device that is enterprise activated and on Rogers, but not when connecting to the personal device which is on Telus.
I have deleted Bridge from both Smartphones and reinstalled the latest from AppWorld for both - to make sure I was comparing the exact same versions (battery pull reboot performed as well). No change in the results.

Bridge Browser and WiFi Browser Issues???

Hey everyone,
I've had my Playbook since day one and I have been having issues that I can't seem to get resolved involving the Brdige Browser and WiFi browser.
On the Bridge Browser I can't browse to any webpages. I simply get a non-descript "Not Authorized HTTP://whatevertheurlwas.com" error message. Ive tried dozens of pages, reset the bridge, to no avail.
The other issue is with the WiFi browser. When I try to login to an Exchange 2010 OWA webmail site, I can't click certain check boxes (they arent grayed out, the clcik just wont function). Also - when I try and navigate to a SharePoint 2010 site I get an "Error - A network error has occured" message. It is accessible fine via an iPad, laptop, and desktop computer but not from the Playbook browser.
Any ideas??

I spent about 3 hours with Support on this last night.
Explanation makes sense...could not verify it yet.
Bridge Browser by default uses "Blackberry Browser" to surf the net. If this option is disabled by BES Admin (assumption here is that you are on BES), you will not be able to surf the net. If you have BIS services also, your Blackberry handset (assumption here is that you are on OS v6) tries to open a site through "Blackberry Browser" and then defaults through "Internet Browser"...which is why you are probably surf the net through your handset without any issues.
To verify this, install OS v5 and that gives you the option of picking the browser for your handset. If you get the same message after selecting "BLackberry Browser" on your phone...the above explanation can be confirmed. I am going to try it on my older Blackberry handset with OS v5 over the weekend.
Solution if the above explanation is verified:
Running the web browser in work mode
If the Allow Browser IT policy rule is set to Yes and you configure the BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service to connect a BlackBerry smartphone to the Internet and intranet, a BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet that is connected to the smartphone can run the web browser in work mode.
When the web browser runs in work mode, it does not use the Wi-Fi® connection that it uses when it runs in personal mode. Instead, the web browser can connect to the Internet or your organization's intranet using the smartphone's connection to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. The tablet encrypts any cached data that is stored on the tablet using the BlackBerry® Bridge™ work key.
A BlackBerry PlayBook tablet user can access the web browser in work mode by clicking the browser icon in the BlackBerry Bridge panel on the tablet, or by clicking on a link in a work application. When a user clicks a link in any work application, such as a link in work email messages, work calendar entries, the contact list, tasks, memos, or BlackBerry® Messenger messages, the web browser runs in work mode if any of the following conditions exist:•
No Wi-Fi connection is available•
Web address does not contain periods•
MDS Browser Domains IT policy rule includes the domain of the web address•
Web address consists of a private IP address as specified in RFC 1918•
Value of the Wi-Fi Internet Access Path IT policy rule is set to "Access through BlackBerry MDS Connection Service"
If these conditions do not exist, the web browser runs in personal mode and connects to the Internet using a Wi-Fi connection.
The web browser cannot run in work mode if it cannot access the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service.

Bridge browser does not work to browse intranet sites

I can browser our company intranet sites with my blackberry phone but unable to browse the same sites via the blackberry bridge on my playbook.. Can surf other external sites but unable to surf our intranet sites via the bridge browser.
Am I missing a setting? Or is this feature not supported yet?

According to KB26548, it should be able to connect to the intranet sites via the bridge browser. If it's not, I would suggest checking with your IT department to see if they have any suggestions.
I hope that info helps!

Image Button file browser icon missing

Hi there, I've been using C5 this week for the 1st time and have been working through a project. All has gone ok to date, a few niggles along the way but I've run into a huge bug this morning which is wrecking my plan to finish the project.
I'm adding an image button to a slide and have found to my frustration that the file browser in Properties has vanished, pushed out past the properties block, which of course cannot be resized to the right (thanks Adobe, nice UI design there). This means I can't choose any image for my button apart from those already loaded in the preview which is utterly useless. I've attached a screenshot to show what it looks like.
As you can see the Image Button drop down has gone very wide and pushed the folder browser icon out of sight. Simply maddening!
I had been using image buttons all week with out any issues. Yesterday an update appeared (5.0.1.624) for C5 so I applied it. Then this issue started. I have since uninstalled C5 and reinstalled without applying the update and its still doing it. What I didn't do was reboot after the uninstall, maybe I should have done...
Anybody else come across this? if it is a bug its a crippling one!!!!

Hi Niall-Mac and KiHwa -
This is indeed a CP bug!!! We found this some months ago - it turns out that if you name your button images with a very long file name (35-40 characters plus), it slowly starts pushing the "browse" folder icon further and further to the right of the panel. Add a few more buttons with longer file names to the gallery and eventually it disappears altogether, like you both have encountered (see image).
Workaround 1 (best practice IMO until CP dev team fixes this):
We started creating buttons in a separate CP file, creatively named "projectName_buttons" - this way any time we need a button we go to this file and copy/paste it into our project and we never have to mess with the button gallery in our working (source) file. If the "browse" icon disappears again in our buttons file, we simply copy all our buttons from our "project_buttons" file into a new blank project and save over the old (broken) one.
Workaround 2 (not so user-friendly):
1. Stretch your timeline panel as wide as it can go on your monitor (I use two 21" monitors to develop so I can make my timeline rather long)
2. Undock the properties panel so that it is a floating window
3. Drag the properties panel by the topmost dark gray bar just above the "Properties" tab and place it just below the timeline until it snaps into place - now don't let go of it just yet, drag it up a tiny bit further - as you do this a blue bar will appear signifying that it will dock to that position (underneath the timeline) - when you dock it to the timeline it will stretch to the same length as the timeline and voila, you can now see the "browse" icon - however, who wants a properties panel that takes up your whole monitor!!!! I certainly don't.....
On a side note, it is very disheartening that once buttons are in the button gallery you have NO CONTROL over them - if they need to be edited you are forced to rename them so you can import a fresh button. This method unnecessarily creates TWO copies of a button in your gallery - the more edits you make to a button the more copies of that button you get in your gallery....some control over the button gallery would be nice.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Playbook Bridge browser

I'm an happy user of the PlayBook since 3 weeks but since the begining, the Bridge Browser is not available. The bridge is working well but the Bridge Browser is not visible. I've a BES activated on my Blackberry 9800 (Torch). I'm convinced that this is probably a setting issue on my mobile (Torch) but i'm unable to fix it. It already tried to resend the service books, to wipe the mobile+tablet. I also tried with the BIS (after the wipe) without restoring the settings. I tried a lot of things, but the icon is not visible. Do you know if it can be solved easily?

Lost Bridge Browser

Hi,
After updating my PB to OS2 and Curve 9360 to Blackberry Bridge to 2 I can no longer see the PB bridge browser in my PB. Any ideas how to get it back? Curve was updated first.
Thanks,
Art
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The bridge browser is not gone per say, if you have the latest Blackberry Bridge, then when you are on the phone and open a website click on the bb button then there is an option to VIEW ON "playbook name", and it will then open the browser on the Playbook with that page
Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

Blackberry Browser Icon Missing, NOTHING helped...

Hey guys, I got my blackberry Pearl 8100 for quite some time now, but for some weeks now I got some Problem I wanna fix right now.
Since I never wanted to use my blackberry browser I didnt even realise its icon was gone, but now I do and I want it back...
I've tried different solutions offered in other threads (resend service book, reregister HRT Host Routing Table and even pull out the power cell while it was turned on and leave it out for at least 30 seconds)
Nothing helped, the Icon is not showing up, not at the Theme Im using where it should be at the home screen and not even in the menu.
I can only start the browser while doing this in the main menu: switch application and then chose the browser.
Ive found something which could at least help to help me, when Im at Options under the Blackberry Browser, then go to advanced options and then under default browser I cannot chose anything at all. Just Empty...
Since the Browser is installed there must be some kind of solution to bring the Icon back, but I dont know how...
On the Home Screen at my Today & Zen Theme there is just an empty place now where the BB Browser Icon should be...
Thanks a lot for your help!

So the icon isn't hidden?
Does it show the IPPP service book is listed?
Does the Browser show as being installed under Options | Advanced Options | Applications?

No browser icon on Pearl 8100

Hiya... I am in a world of pain...
Sorry - quite a bit of background on this...
In 2009 my husband bought me a brand new Blackberry Pearl 8100 from the internet (he can't remember exactly where from). I put my existing O2 sim in it, expecting to be able to access the internet/emails, but neither were available to me. A quick call to O2 cleared that one up - my sim was Pay & Go and at that time, O2 were not doing Blackberry web & email on Pay & Go. I used it as a phone for a bit, got peeved (wanted internet and emails!) and bought a Samsung Tocco lite which I have been using up until last week when I found out that, since last July, O2 were now doing Blackberry internet on Pay & Go.
So, I excitedly purchase a bolt on from O2, shove my sim in my lovely Blackberry Pearl, get excited when I see the new icons for Facebook and Google etc... and then I realise that there is no browser option. No globe icon, nothing. The only way I can see a browser icon is if I press the menu key and select 'Switch Application'. The 'phone then says 'requesting', then offers me an option to sign up for Yahoo Messenger. If I hit the 'back' button, the screen goes blank. If I accept 'download', I get: 'Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Yahoo'.
I have set up my emails and they work fine. If I click on links in emails, I just get a blank screen.
I have spoken to O2 who have said that 'everything is fine their end' and there is no reason why I can't find a browser icon. They told me to check out the latest Blackberry download so my 'phone is updated. So, I have installed what I believe to be the latest version but that has had no effect whatsoever.
A battery pull (well, about a hundred of them actually..) has also had no effect).
I am close to throwing the flaming thing up the wall. Please help me save my beautiful little 'phone from such a cruel fate... any ideas?
(OS release: v4.2.193)

Hi there!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you could investigate further updating your BB OS...here is a process to do that:
From a PC, you can install any OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
