It worked when I initially paired my playbook with my blackberry over BT.
But when I turn off BT on the Bold, and try to reconnect again for Bridge, the bluetooth pairing doesn't work.

Im having the same issue!!!

delete the pairing from both pb and phone, shutdown pb and restart then do it again, i found this works

Nabatron 11-25-2011 09:35 PM

no problems with bridge myself

RRxtar 11-25-2011 09:58 PM

bridge has worked flawlessly for me so far.

one 'issue' i noticed pop up is twice now ive lost wifi signal at random times. when i go into my available networks it will show my wifi network connected but no signal. i have to click on "saved networks" delete the network, and then reconnect it, and it works again.

i think its more of an issue with my router than it is with the PB tho. but its a simple fix if anyone else gets it. seems common on crackberry forums tho.



also, did anyone else get a software update today? v1.0.8 now



edit: apparently the latest update is to fix a few bugs including all known wifi issues. well there we go

it's on the blackberry.com website themselves if you go to their stores. if u go to playbook accessories you'll see 2 blank window blank + blank = $50 and then an add to cart button beside it lol but i can't get that shit to work.. so either sold out or i dunno

Vansterdam 11-26-2011 08:32 AM

is there a good popup blocker of some sorts?

everytime i browse revscene or another site i always accidently open up a new tab/advertisement/popup

annoying as fuck

Nabatron 11-26-2011 08:38 AM

^^yeah i get that shit too when scrolling around accidently hit a advert and pops up into another window it is pretty annoying for sure!

murd0c 11-26-2011 10:43 AM

Nabatron 11-26-2011 11:17 AM

I'm in the same boat. Got this for my bro in-law for xmas. I sure hope he doesn't have any issues. I'm not great with computer type gadgets at the best of time, and he's even worse. Thank god for crackberry.com, you guys, and google! :thumbsup: :fuckyea:

I upgraded to os 2.0 beta just so I can run android apps ~ I hope when 2.0 is final release all the android apps will be supported and not have to worry about things like which android os etc

for those of you who started the bb first time without having it in the charger...

IT SAYS IT IN THE MANUAL! KEEP IT PLUGGED IN DURING INITIAL TURNING ON UNTIL FULLY CHARGED.

yeah me too! bb rep dude was saying once things were ironed out with the android app player there will be thousands of apps moving over to the playbook hopefully this is true but knowing RIM and their promises could be highly unlikely lol...all I want for them is just to iron out the os on the playbook so it isn't so sketchy!:fuckyea:

Nabatron 11-26-2011 03:28 PM

so I was just cleaning my playbook here at work when i noticed right underneath my camera on the screen the a spec of lint underneath my screen fuuuuuuuck! When I bought it there was nother under my screen and now theres a piece of lint just chillin there plus its white...:heckno: such a pain in the bawlls too and would be such a hassle to bring it back and complain about it I guess I'm stuck with it being there unless by miracle it disappears!

Bonka 11-26-2011 03:51 PM

I read one story where a fellow bounced the PB on his belly until he shifted the speck of debris over into the corner and off the screen :fullofwin:

nabs 11-26-2011 04:16 PM

^^
I Lolled because i do taht sometimes :alonehappy:

Sweeeeet finally worked. I deleted and paired over and over. Was getting so annoyed with it.

Thanks x1000000000

bcrdukes 11-26-2011 04:45 PM

I haven't experienced this pairing issue you guys describe but one thing I notice that I keep forgetting is to turn on/off Blackberry Bridge on my Blackberry. :\

I sit there thinking "WTF did I do wrong?" for minutes until I find out I disabled Blackberry Bridge on my phone. :D
