I think I know what cause the BBM Bridge not loading on my PB
It is the contact list of in my BBM (Phone).
Initially, I had 89 contacts. I did some housekeeping. Delete those inactive contact and cut down as much as possible. Now my contact is only 9.
I BBM bridge with my PB. Wallla...load almost instantly.
A Happy man now..  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif
Solution:
HOUSEKEEPING your BBM contact list. Trim down as much as U can

What Item u cannot view? Mails? BBM? or all items? Please be specific.

Before that:
1) Pls install the latest version of Bridge App: 1.0.0.83
2) Install your BB mesenger to 5.0.3.22

since u dont have PB now, hard to test right?
*
collecting my PB later tnite...

well, after linking my bb with PB, at BRIDGE page, i dont see the ICONS, only see words, click on it and says ERROR.. for all the things in BRIDGE PAGE...

BTW:
1) Pls install the latest version of Bridge App: 1.0.0.83 <-- i was at the shop and the guy was updating his PB on wifi, so i guess the BA also latest 1.0.0.83
2) Install your BB mesenger to 5.0.3.22 <-- already at 5.0.3.22

if both also dont work, what else shd i do?


Added on May 12, 2011, 6:45 pmoh and ya, what movie format does PB supports? im a Android Tablet user now, Android even supports MKV..

Mine set when sleep is not warm at all. Overnite only drain very minimal around 5%
Back will start heat up when playing game, HD video or browse site with flash. But am satisfy with the batt life because can last all day

U should do a full reset by press 3 buttons together (Power, Vol + and -)

Anyway, anyone with spare BB9700 that want to trade with Brand new Playbook can go to my thread. smile.gif

Mike,

my batt not doing good. unplug charger at 4am (99%), woke up at 730am and left 78% batt ... below are the scene

1. wifi - OFF
2. BT - OFF
3. left some games and apps running behind
4. i dont 'off' my PB pressing the ON/OFF button, i jus let it 'sleeps off'...

so, 21% over 3 half hrs with above is BAD rite?


btw, when shd i do the FULL RESET? whats the main purpose of doing it?

pls advise.

thks

How about port forwarding in your router? U might need to do it on your router site.
PLs refer to this link: http://www.realvnc.com/support/portforward.html

File transfer between PC and Playbook is really easy and simple even without cable. Beat the iOS file transfer kaw kaw

First U need to do is enable Wifi Sharing in the setting:

After that, Playbook will appear on your PC under Network:

Who need Itune sync or other 3rd party app just for this simple task?  whistling.gif  whistling.gif

Mike, ill try to monitor the batt, it drains 10% in 1 hr now at idle... u think i shd send back and ask for replacement?


the wifi file transfer is beautiful, 3 mins and connected... but i got this msg


"\\xxxplaybook is not accessible. you ight not have permission to use this network resource. contact eh administrator of this server to find out if ou have access permissions.

the network path was not found "

1. i didnt set any password at PB

what shd i do?

I assumed you are using your own wifi connection.
Try check the firewall setting in your pc. Also make sure both at same workgroup.
Password it not an issue. my pb also set password.

ya, using my home wifi, workgroup is same as i can view my PB on my laptop but after checking my firewall where BB apps are all in exception list. i still get the same error..

what else shall i check?

My friend just found out a bug on Playbook.
Do remember to accept the agreement on the Video Chat application or else your PB will get heat up and drain the battery.

Further test the Bridge browser, it seem fast enough under Digi 3G BIS.
When I was at Batam, Indonesia, I am using Telkomsel BIS. But even under 3G, it is still very slow.
So I am sure the Bridge browser is much depend on the BIS quality.

Anyone can share their Bridge browsing experience under Maxis, Celcom or Umobile?
*
confirm the batt drain ive tested so many days since i bot my pb n it drains batt like water. now after accepting d video call agreement, it goes normal. i discn fr power since 7am till now im in melaka meeting, k still hv got 70% batt.

regarding browser, i still prefer teethering n run on normal browser. im using celcom unlimited, n briidge browsing is much slower. anyone can explain this? all i can think off is bridge browsing is slow by the bb phone (9780) slower processor

hi guys, got the 32gb unit for RM2100 from a forummer here on monday. all good, but battery suck like hell, even after i accept the video call yadah yadah. the screen is better than the ipad but the build cannot be said the same. but i'm using it more than the ipad though, playing poker on FB while pangpang is heaps good!
*
Kusa,

try this


1. close apps when idle
2. BT on is OK
3. try off wifi when u dont use it.
4. "i agree" @ video call
5. DISCHARGE ur PB to 0% but forcing it to drain all the batt, then do a FULL charge (till the 'charge' sign is no more at the batt)
6. set ur screen to 'optimum' brightness which is enuf for your own use.

fyi, im using a 16gb, the 1st 3 days i took back, my pb was draining like 10% every hr even on idle (off everything). but after charging and did above, yesterday's usage was superb, full charge with usage of at least 4-5 hrs (coz i travel and my fren driving), my batt is 17% now (after 22hrs since unplug from power)... i think this is very good batt life...

google ard about the pb batt, and u will find some info here and there.. according to the source, it's the OS prob. hopefully RIM will improve this.

bros, regarding charger..

Standard BB charger is 5v 750mA
PB charger 5v 1.8A/1800mA

so is it safe to use 750mA to charge PB? i know it's damn damn slow but better than nothing. anyone found 1.8A or 2.1A charger for our PB?

also, is high cap charger for PB safe to charge our BB phone?

thks dudes!

Guide: How to Have Playbook Tethering & BIS Access at the same time

As a Playbook AND BB user, there are many way to get connect. 1 of them is tethering to your BB phone. But during tethering, your BB will disconnect from BIS and a msg "Modem Mode Enabled" will appear.
As a powerful user, I need my bb to alway connected to BIS while I still want to tethering for the same time.
I saw some tricks at crackberry forum and want to share with U guy.

The step as below:
1) First U need to get into Engineering Screen aka Help Me screen. U can do this by pressing alt+ RIGHT aA +H in homescreen. Screen below will pop up:
user posted image

2) Then, U need to find out the lock code to go further.
This is the link to generate the lock code: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9610464/HelpScreen.html
U need to key in all informations as what appear in YOUR Help ME! Screen:
user posted image

3) Once U got the code, type in the code on the Help Me! screen.

4) If U type in correctly, below screen will appear. Select Multi-WAP Engineering Screen
user posted image

5) Select Tunnel Engineering Screen
user posted image

6) Change IP Modem Solo Mode to DISABLE
user posted image

7) Try tethering your Playbook with your BB, U will see "Modem Mode Enable" but your BB still connected to BIS. smile.gif

Please aware that there is a RISK to screw up your BB if U dont know and dont follow the above guide. I am not responsible for that. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

mike: this works. but if im not wrong, once u soft reset/batt pull ur BB, this option returns back to ENABLE in "IP MODEM SOLO MODE"... can u double confirm?
