Playbook Contacts in Bridge- horrible

**robertno** · 07-27-2011, 12:12 PM

Just trying the playbook- it is a very cool device; I have had both Ipads and a couple of android tabs to try out. I like the playbook the best. BUT it is buggy as **** at this point... I run 6.0 on my 9780 and the latest bridge update.

All works fine but Bridge does not read my contacts- that is the only thing; email etc are great but no contacts- just the green circle spinning. I have just over 500 so it should not be too overbearing ...
anyone else have ideas/solutions on this???

Thanks in advance.

Happened to me a couple times, but not just contacts - in messages too.

Just restart the PB and it will be fine.

yeah I have been trying that- but like all things blackberry sometimes after a couple of restarts they start to work and once the do they are simple and erro free.. at least until RIM decides to screw things up with an update

Consensus seems to be that it worked better in 1.0.6 ...I haven't tried it since I upgraded but I might just do that...

what OS version do you have?

ok I tried it - works fine...OS 1.0.7.2670
BOLD OS 5
phone app 1.0.0.93
AT&T

I'm having exact same issue. Just in contacts app. I had an issue with the contacts database on the handheld and had to sync it, delete database and resync, but that still didn't fix issue. I'm restarting Playbook now. I only have about 180 contacts in my phone.
