Playbook Blackberry bridge to browse photos on bb phone

I did update 2.1 for the Playbook.
I always use Playbook and Blackberry Bridge to show my clients photos I have on the phone .
Now the system is more complicated because to see the next picture I have to turn off the remote control and then click again on the picture next click to "open the playbook photography" and so on.
Besides the fact that it is slower through my bb 9810

Just curious - how did you look at your photos before? What was different?

Bluetooth, Blackberry bridge and Playbook not linking to Q10

Please.....
After checking settings and browsing the Internet for possible problems or fixes, I'm having frustrating problems in linking my phone and playbook when they worked fine before a few wks back, does anyone know if this has been a recent problem or if this has been resolved, it does seem a waste of my 64gb playbook if I can no longer use Blackberry bridge (link from Q10 still doesn't do what it is meant to do as it did with me 9800) or bluetooth link up? Please i'm going spare here trying to fix or search for updates that always say 'unavailable for this device', starting to regret getting my new Q10 that i've had for 3mths where bridge doesn't work, bluetooth doesn't get connected properly and useful apps are not available for new Q10 device, my playbook worked wonders with my 9800!

Your Playbook will never work with the Q10 like it did with with your 9800. That's just the way it is.
I would try disconnecting both devices, unpair them, and then reboot both devices and reconnect using the Bridge app. Once they do connect about all you can do access the Internet on the Playbook using your Q10.

Is the Blackberry bridge 100% compatible to connect to a Playbook 64GB with a new 9360 BB?

My question is around the following situation:
If I have a new 9360 Blackberry can I share my internet bandwidth via blackberry bridge to a new 64GB BB Playbook?

Bridge will work fine for emails, BBM and PIM but you might need a tether plan for bridge browser.

Playbook not connecting to Internet via blackberry bridge

I am the owner of the playbook and love it everything's great. I recommend it to a couple of people and they are having problems. The biggest one and reason for my cry out today is, I talked my aunt into the blackberry tablet as opposed to the kindle fire, because she is the owner of a blackberry smartphone from AT&T. I told her how my phone connects through the bridge to get the Internet on the go without wifi, and as soon as I helped her set up her tablet with the new software she can not get the Internet through the blackberry bridge. When I connect my blackberry smartphone to my play book I can still access the Internet without wifi so I'm thinking its the update which I haven't done yet mine yet. Can someone please help me, my aunt is older and depending on me and I have no clue what happened! Thanks

AT&T require you to pay for their Internet tethering bolt on in order to use the browser etc via bridge.

BBM icon not showing in Blackberry Bridge on Playbook

I've setup the Blackberry Bridge between the Playbook, and a BB Torch, all the bridge icons are showing except the BBM icon. Is BBM available yet through the bridge connection?
Does anyone know when a video chat app will be available, is is this going to be pushed out through an update?

Here is another example of where someone from RIM needs to STEP UP and provide a definitive answer to the question: Is BBM supported on PB. And the related question: Is SMS messaging supported on PB. Seems crazy that RIM is leaving new PB users in limbo. The answers are all rumors and heresay. Let's get a statement on this from RIM!
Similarly, there are no answers from RIM on the issues with email attachments and other email quirks. **bleep**?

Q10 blackberry bridge to playbook problem

I have installed blackberry bridge on Q10 and playbook. Successfully paired them up. However, on the playbook, i only see Calendar, BBM icons, but missing the email icon, which is the most useful one. why please?
when i had the blackberry curve, this was not a problem. thanks

Currently the only Bridge features available in the Bridge folder are SMS and BBM. You can't read the BB email on the Playbook any longer. You will need add the email account to the Playbook just as it's added to your Q10.

Playbook locks up when using Blackberry Bridge

Playbook OS:
1.0.7.2670 Build 52084
Blackberry Torch 9800:
6.0 Bundle 2647
Blackberry Bridge 1.0.4.9
I have an issue where my Playbook will freeze when I enable (connect) via Blackberry Bridge. It will initially connect with no problems, but the moment I try to respond to an email from my Playbook, the Messages application will stop responding then all the applictions in the Blackberry Bridge section will not respond, then the Playbook will stop responding alltogether. I figured upgrading to the new build of Blackberry Bridge on my Torch as well as the recent OS upgrade on my Playbook would have helped, but no dice... Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

yes, I assume there is a small partition that has the OS from the factory, but as soon as you setup the WiFi, it automatically upgrades to the latest OS.
I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it wiped the OS. The only knock is having to go through the initial "training" process but otherwise pretty painless.

Blackberry Bridge with Proxy

Hi,
I'm using Blackberry Bridge with my Playbook and it works great for email when it's not connected to the Wifi, but when I connect to the corporate Wifi (which uses a proxy) the Bridge tries to use the Wifi for the Messaging (and other) applications. This causes problems as when you try to run the Messaging application you recieve a message similar to this from the corporate proxy server:
Access Denied to http://127.0.0.2:187/messages
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this? It would be nice if the bridge knew to always use the Bluetooth not the Wifi, or if there was an option in the Proxy settings to list exclusions from the proxy.
Thanks,
John

Yep, exact same issue here. I haven't found a work around for this as of yet, I'm also interested if anyone has a solution?
For now, I've been unchecking the 'use HTTP proxy' in wifi setup so I can at least bridge with my BB for mail/calendar and the have limited ability to use the browser to navigate to company internal sites etc (that do not require proxy credential auth). If I need to access the 'outside' with the PB browser, I've been manually editing the proxy server info on the PB. (which subsequently kills the ability to send/rec mail etc) Ugh...
This is definitely not ideal, I'm hoping this is addressed/resolved in upcoming updates. (preferably proxy auto-detect, but bridge simply ignoring the proxy settings would do the trick)

Blackberry Bridge issues after update

New to the forum and need help!
I have a Torch 9810 and PlayBook
Torch 9810 7.1 bundle 2061
Blackberry Bridge 2.1.0.26
PlayBook OS 2.1.0.1088
BES is used
The Bridge connects to the PlayBook and will allow remote control and bridge browser to be used. However, although the email, text and BBM alert icons appear on the PlayBook they cannot be opened. The Bridge contacts and calender will also not open on the Playbook.
When attempting to open Text messages on the PlayBook the notice "Text Messages was disabled by IT policy" is displayed. There is no IT Policy in place.
When attempting to open BBM on the PlayBook the notice "You must accept the BlackBerry Messenger Licence Agreement on your smartphone to use BBM on your PlayBook". It has been accepted on the phone.
I've tried unpairing, rebooting both devices and repairing to no avail.
Any ideas appreciated

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Contrary to your belief, there is indeed an IT Policy on the BB...the error message is quite clear on that point. While it is possible to check for an IT Policy via this procedure:
KB30076 How to check for an IT Policy on a BlackBerry smartphone
it is also possible for there to be a "stealth" IT Policy, which gives no hint of its existence save for those error messages. If your BB truly is not now associated with any BES system, then there are procedures you can follow to cleanse it of the latent IT Policy (which could be there as a result of, sometime in its life, the BB being associated with BES...but not being properly cleansed when it was removed from BES...it's not an automatic process to remove the IT Policy). On the other hand, if your BB is associated with BES, then you need to talk to your BES admins for assistance as they control everything.
To cleanse your BB, first take a full backup:
KB12487 How to back up BlackBerry smartphone data using BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows
Next, take a manual inventory of all of your add-on apps, license keys, etc...this process will return your BB to a NIB state, and you will have to reinstall everything from scratch (and, before you ask, no there is no other way).
Next, conduct this process:
KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Now, get your BB properly running on your carrier network, by conducting 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...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
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.
Next, do a SELECTIVE restore from the backup you took earlier...do not do a wholesale restore, if you do, you will restore the offending IT Policy and be right back where you started. Skip over any databases that are not critical, especially those that have anything at all to do with IT Policy:
KB10339 How to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup file
KB03974 BlackBerry smartphone database list
Now, reinstall all of your apps, reapply those license keys, and reconfigure to your preferred settings. With all of that, you should be cleansed of the IT Policy and should be able to perform the things you desire.
Good luck!

The bridge app is not avaliable to download from App World - the download icon is grayed out. I am a Telus customer and it seems that there are alot of reports out there saying that various carriers, including Rogers and Telus, aren't allowing this to be downloaded.

Blackberry Bridge version 2.1 is available for Blackberry OS 5.0 - 7.1 devices

Hi,
I received a Playbook OS 2.1 for Xmas and I am looking to install the Bridge app. My phone is a Bold 9790 OS 7.1.
I have downloaded the Bridge app but it appears that it is only valid for OS 10. Where can I download V2.1 which is compatible with my phone's OS ?
Many thanks,
Andy

Cannot get Blackberry Bridge to work

Hello,
I have a PlayBook running OS Version 2.0.1.358 and a Curve 8520.
I have installed BlackBerry Bridge but the devices will not connect. It sometimes does get as far as presenting the verification numbers (does this number match on your Playbook?). I confirm that they do but then a message appears indicating the devices cannot connect. Sometimes it does not get that far and the message is could not connect to the Computer or could not connect to the Playbook.
Afterwards the PlayBook does appear in the BlackBerry bridge on the phone and is set to Automatically Connect. Trying to connect does not work.
"No Connected Devices" appears on the PlayBook's, Bluetooth pop-up.
I have tried using both the QR code and the manual setup.
I believe I did have it working the first time I tried but it stopped. I have done a security wipe of the PlayBook to try to start fresh but that has not worked.
If it matters, my phone is a provided by my employeer and is connected to my work e-mail account. We use HotMail.

Well, I'm replying to my own post but I did get the two devices connected.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the BlackBerry Bridge software on the phone. I had not tried this yet. When I then tried to reconnect it didn't work at first but a second try did work and now my e-mails and other stuff from Outlook are appearing on the PlayBook. Yeah!

Problem accessing files via Blackberry Bridge

Not sure if anyone is having this issue....I've got the blackberry bridge installed, and I can access my messages, contacts, etc. However if I go into the Bridge Files menu, I am unable to open anything. I tap it and it just does nothing. If I go into the sheet to go app on the Playbook, I am able to access my files off my blackberry, however every single one opens up read only (which kinda defeats the purpose)
Any ideas? Is there a setting I am missing?
Jason

Good for you.

Forget what? Just want to browse photos? Use the Finder with Quicklook. Use Preview use any of the 100 or image viewers that you’ll find on MacUpdate.
is it IMpossible in iPhoto and iTunes???
Well, it’s impossible in iTunes because that’s for music. (The hint is in the “Tunes” part of the name.
coz i have to import and make mediaLibrary...crazy!
Nothing crazy about it. IPhoto is not a Image Viewer. How crazy of you think it is! It’s Photo Organiser.
