Playbook bridge to Torch (with AT&T)

I just bought a Playbook, and want to use the Bridge App to connect it to my Torch Smartphone.  It is my understanding AT&T is the only carrier of the Torch.  The Bridge does not work, and any information I can find says the Bridge does not work with AT&T service provided Smartphones.  Is this true?   I did try two links on the website for alternate downloads, and neither worked.  Has anyone found a work-around, or know when this might change? 

@ TFcuse
Hi,
Currently, I am able to browse the internet using the BlackBerry Bridge browser but am not able to make use of the App World.  I don't know if not being able to interact with the App World is because of AT&T or if its a limitation that comes from RIM.  When browsing the internet while using the Bridge Browser the pages load very slow but I'm sure its because I'm using 3G on AT&T.  On a related note, I do love reading and taking care of all the messages that are on my phone, including emails, on my Playbook especially since what is open or deleted on the Playbook is also done in my phone.

  • HELP - BBM does not work on Playbook (Bridged)

    Hi Folks,
    Looked into other threads but all problems seem to be related to older versions.
    I am new to the whole Blackberry Lifestyle.
    Currently own, Playbook (wireless) and Torch 9860 for about two weeks - enjoying them independently.
    ANY HELP would be appreciated.
    Just tried the Bridge function but the BBM does not work.
    It is funny cause my Playbook does get a notification for any BBM I receive, the remote works, the contacts can be seen on playbook but when I click on BBM notification it I get a message "Your Version of Blackberry Messenger is not compatible with Blackberry Bridge. Download the latest version of BBM to use it on your playbook.
    I did what I normally do - googled it. Found out the specs and I do have all updated apps.
    On my 9860 I have
    7.1.0 System
    Bridge 2.0.0.35
    BBM 6.1.0.55
    This is not linked to BES or anything - purely personal.
    I have already restarted my phone and playbook with no luck.
    I am new, so not sure of the difference between stuff like hard set, shutdown etc  etc or other technical terms - so would appreciate if you assume that I am a complete dummy.

    Hi playbookfun and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    Have you tried updating to the latest version of BBM™?  If not, I would recommend trying that by going to www.blackbery.com/bbm from your BlackBerry® Browser.
    Thanks.

  • 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. 

  • FLASHING PLAYBOOK BRIDGE MESSAGES BUG GRRR AGAIN

    Ok, this is the second or third time I have had to wipe and reinstall the OS on both my phone and playbook.
    What is happening is when i try to open the messages app on the blackberry playbook bridge messages is it will open and then close, then reopen repeatedly. Open, close, open, close indefinitely. This seems to have started after I added music to my bold 9700 yesterday via USB. I suspect that the USB connect, disconnect process is corrupting files on the phone or playbook. If corrupt OS files are the culprit, a subroutine that identifies corrupt files in the bridge system and then works with RIM software update servers to identify, repair, and replace the corrupt files over the internet would be much better than an entire wipe. I have seen USB corrupt many files on many devices, during the attach and eject process. 
    Bridge messages seems to work fine and then something is causing it to fail.
    EITHER WAY, IDENTIFY THIS BUG IN THE BRIDGE AND RELEASE A FIX, IF YOUR NEW BB 10 COMES OUT WITH BUGS LIKE THIS IT WILL BE VERY BAD FOR THE BOTTOM LINE. 
    BTW, I TOTALLY SUPPORT THE DECISION TO DELAY THE BB10. 
    Set-up 
    - Blackberry Bold 9700
    - Bridge version 2.0.0.33
    - Blackberry Playbook 64gb Latest OS as of 7-12-12
    - Mac OSX Snow Leopard Latest, 32bit mode. MBP core 2 duo 2.1ghz, 8gb ram 13" screen 2009 era. 

    Not sure if you have tried this. I changed the date on my playbook (one year back ) and the messages bridge worked fine. Go back and fubar again. Bummer.

  • Playbook will not connect with Desktop Software

    Playbook won't connect with desktop software any longer. Seems to have started after latest update to 2.0. Still working fine with my Torch 9810, but not with the Playbook. I even tried reinstalling the Desktop software, but no go. Tried to "forget" Playbook, but now I can't even add it as a device any longer!

    possible you need to uninstall Device Manager, not Desktop Software.
    Disconnect the PB from the computer.
    Uninstall the Device Manager.
    Reboot your computer (for good measure)
    Connect the PB using the USB cable.
    Now you should see a PlayBook CD-ROM.
    In that CD-ROM you will find version 7 of the Device Manager, install it.
    Once installed disconnect the PB from the computer.
    Wait for about 15 seconds then plug it back in.
    Windows should detect new device and start Device Manager. It may take up to two minutes for windows to detect and properly install.
    Then device manager will map 'z' drive to the PB.

  • Playbook Bridge Browser Network error

    The Bridge connected fine to my blackberry and all bridge apps are working well EXCEPT bridge browse. With bridge browse i get the window launch and then:
    Error
    a network error occurred
    please try again later
    No more information given by the browser. I would like to know if this is a bug or if it is possible that the playbook cant bridge with internet to my 9700 as if it is the later I will need to return the unit.

    The big issue with it is going to be speed.  Bluetooth is going to be the bottleneck, but hopefully they can find a way to increase the speed.  It would be great if they could develop it to use a WiFi link between your BB and the PB, it would eliminate the bottleneck.
    I would just be happy to have it load a page properly!

  • What you need to know concerning Playbook, Bridge, Q20, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile

    I'm on Bold 9900 and Bridge works flawlessly with my Playbook at 4G speed.  Problem is, I am on T-Mobile and the service is very spotty where I live. They sent me the signal boosters but they don't help. I'm thinking on moving back to AT&T or Verizon and getting the Q20 when it comes out, BUT I don't want to lose ability to bridge to my Playbook. I love my playbook!  Any advice - most appreciated?  Thanks so much!   Michaux.

  • Problem using Bridge Photo Downloader with new camera

    I have the new Olympus E5. I can't use the Photo Downloader in Bridge for RAW files. It doesn't convert the ORF ( RAW ) files to dng.

    No, in the last several versions of PSE for mac prior to PSE 9, Adobe Bridge was included for keywording and such. The version of bridge that ships with the big Creative Suite programs includes the full Adobe Raw Converter, the one you get with full Photoshop. Elements has always had a somewhat cut down version of the Adobe raw converter--same basic plug-in, but doesn't have all the features enabled.
    In PSE 8, for some reason the full features were not disabled in the version of bridge that ships with PSE (prior to that opening a file into the bridge converter showed you exactly the same features you got if you just opened a raw file directly into the PSE Editor's version of the converter). However, that was just a one-time thing. (I'm guessing they ran out of time or something).
    But all versions of Elements include their own raw converter, with the smaller feature set, whether or not you use Bridge or Organizer. If you don't use bridge or organizer, you can open a raw file into the Elements editor by using File>Open, and that will bring up the PSE converter window.
    In PSE 9, Adobe has stopped shipping any version of bridge, and now includes a version of the Organizer that windows PSE users have been getting. But you can still use bridge if you have it from PSE 8, only you can't update it anymore. You can still update the raw converter in PSE itself.

  • Most recent update to Photoshop CC and Bridge breaks use with snow leopard. need previous vsn

    The most recent version of Bridge CC installed with adobe's updater killed my systems year long use of Bridge CC so it won't load.  I need the previous version.  I can't update to 10.7 for technical and other software workflow reasons.  How can I get back to the previous vsn that did work yesterday?

    I would guess you need to uninstall bridge cc and then reinstall without applying the 6.1 update
    (use the uninstaller in /Applications/Adobe Bridge CC)
    You can download Bridge CC direct from here
    Download New Adobe CC Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant/Manager) | ProDesignTools
    And the Bridge cc 6.0.1 update from here any others you might need
    (don't install the 6.1 bridge cc update, because that is the update that breaks bridge on 10.6.8)
    All the Adobe CC Updates: The Direct Download Links for Mac OS | ProDesignTools
    Be sure you follow the directions where it says Note: Very Important Instructions or the links won't work.

  • How do i bridge my extreme with a Verizon FIOS router?

    how do i bridge my extreme with a Verizon FIOS router?

    Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) cannot be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. Although it can "join" the Verizon's wireless network, doing so its Ethernet ports will NOT be enabled for wired clients.

  • Playbook Bridge Calendar Not Showing What's on the Phone Calendar

    There are calendar items that display of my Curve 9330 but not on the Playbook bridge calendar .  If I open the calendar item on my phone and from the menu select either "save" or "send," the item will appear on the Playbook bridge calendar - but it then disappears if I close the calendar and reopen it, or when the Playbook wakes up after it goes to sleep.
    This issue pre-dates the OS upgrade and still exists.   For many months, everything worked fine, but then this problem arose. 
    I have reinstalled- re-Paired, re-booted.  I backed up the Playbook, reinstalled the OS, deleted and reinstalled the bridge on the phone, pulled the phone's battery -- whatever I try, I still have the same problem - the bridge calendar does not show what is on the phone's calendar. 
    Appointments added to the calendar on my desktop (we use Lotus Notes) show up on the phone but not in the bridge calendar.
    I don't use the native calendar.

    Hi JerryPasternak,
    I would recommend contacting BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet support for further investigation into this issue. You can find the contact information here: http://bbry.lv/MgKtEp

  • BB playbook Bridge message app won't open.

    I updated my OS today and after that the BB Playbook Bridge message app, when trying to open, just blinks like constant rápid reloading and does not open even after restarting the playbook. Other bb Bridge apps work fine. How to fix this? 

    I have the same thing happening to me today.  What did you do to fix it. All the other apps in Blackberry Bridge work fine on my Playbook, it's just the messages.  I have tried re-starting both devices but I still can't display the messsages, just the annoying white to black flashing screen.

  • Connecting Half Bridge I Config with SCXI 1520 and 1314

    Hi! I'm using Half Bridge -I Configuration with SCXI 1520 and 1314, but the diagrams in the SCXI-1520 manual are not very comprehensible to me. Three questions:
    1) Is it "necessary" to connect SCx terminals?
    2) If yes, why is there no lead resistance "RL" shown?
    3) Are one end each of two strain gauges to be shorted externally, or wired all the way upto SCXI-1340?
    If u can also post a drawing with actual leads and gauges shown, it will be great.
    These questions may seem trivial, but I'm just starting with strain measurement so...
    Thanks
    Rajat

    Rajat,
    If you are wanting to perform a shunt calibration on your strain gauges then the SCA terminals will need to be connected. The reason that no lead resistance (RL) is shown is that the resistance of those leads will not be affecting the reading you are taking. Lead resistances only need to be considered when they are part of the wheatstone bridge.
    The strain gauges are R3 and R4 in figure 2-3 on page 2-7 of the SCXI-1520 User Manual (linked below). One side of the strain gauges should be connected to each other, then the other side of the strain gauges need to be connected to P+ and P-. Only connections to the right of the 1314 terminal block (in figure 2-3) are connections you will need to make. I hope this helps.

  • Trouble getting Dlink DWL-G820 wireless bridge to work with wrt610n

    I'm trying to get some dlink wireless bridges to work with wrt610n, but not having any luck.  I left Wrt610n router with default "192.168.1.1" IP address and configured bridges accordingly with "192.168.1.xxx" adresses.
    Wireless bridges not happy.  Any ideas ?  The bridges were working fine when i was using "192.168.0.xxx" ip addresses with wrt610n
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well I'll give you full points for reading my question, but zero points for quality of answer.  If it was that simple I would have done it. 
    Unfortunately circumstances have changed and I have both a 192.168.0.xxx LAN & 192.168.1.xxx LAN now and the DWL-G820 (Dlink) wireless bridges must be part of the 192.168.1.xxx LAN (WRT610N Linksys router).  For some reason they won't work when I configure them to be part of a 192.168.1.xxx LAN.
    I'm beginning to think it's a diabolical plot by either Linksys or Dlink to prevent each other's equipment from working together.
