Does the Bold 9000 (Rogers) work with Bridge.

Bold has OS 5.0.0900 installed.

If not the PB will be a brick for me.

Bridge requires a minimum of OS5 to work, so you "should" be ok

I am running that exact model with a PlayBook right now and it's great! I did download bridge from an OTA but I'm sure that it should work from app world now.

I've got a 9000 and I got BBM 6.0.0.73 & Bridge 1.0.0.83 installed and I got BBM on my ?PlayBook! Running JSL v5.0 hybrid OS.

I have been using PB on 9000 since the day of release.
All the stuff that should work do work .. bridge .. tether ... bluetooth.

[businessguy]

Thats Great, I have heard some conflicting reports so I was a bit apprehensive.

I had a torch but hated it and gave it to my daughter. The Bold 9000 is great for Emails that really is the only thing I use it for. Paired with the PB i think this could be a killer combo, And of course the new bold as soon as rogers get them.

I installed the new BBM 5.0.3.22 on my BB 9000 first, then the new Bridge 1.0.0.83. After both of those were installed, BBM shows up on my Playbook.

I have had nothing but a reliable experience with Bridge since getting the Playbook and pairing up with the Bold 9000 (although I haven't used the Browser much since I can tether). There's life in this old phone yet!

Same except i'm on Fido and running WB .610 Hybrid and works great.

[mandony]

There is no problem to use the BB9000 with bridge and other functions as available. Must have OS5 installed (OS is not available).

Bridge BBM requires the latest official version 5 0 3 22 (or the beta)

[berrydeck]

my rogers 9000, did bridge .83, then bbm 3.22 and working fine. took a while to load up the first time. running OS 5 bundle 1702

[billyhoyle13]

Hmmm I'm not seeing the new version of Bridge yet...patience is wearing thin.

[satanberry]

I've been using the same hybrid OS for about 2 weeks now so I'm pretty aware of the memory and battery situation. Since installing Bridge .83, I've got a pretty bad memory leak. Reboot at 32mb app storage and within 2 hrs, I'll be down to less than 20mb. It usually takes 3 days to get that low. I've rebooted my phone 3 times today and it's still that bad.

bbm bridge app was open the whole time on the PB. rebooting again with the app closed, see if that makes a diff. maybe it gets better with pb 1.0.3

20mb a minute after boot. left it for 5min, unlocked it, 18mb.

16mb after 10min and 1 email received (not opened).

14mb after 15min. this is insane!!

5mb after 30min. received a couple more emails and a group bbm. haven't opened anything.

[satanberry]

I've had my Bridge connected 24/7 since getting my PlayBook and it's never had an issue, no mem leak, no batt drain. I've gone from 32mb to 13mb in just over 4 hrs now. OUCH!

anyone with memory leaks fix the issue? i uninstalled bridge and it goes away. not really a long term solution. man i need a 9900

[wsoelivan]

I have Bold 9000, am on JSL v5 Hybrid, BBM 6 Beta and latest version of BB Bridge and latest software of Playbook. Firstly, everything has worked since day one I paired, except the BBM. When I opened the BBM in Playbook, after around 20 secs of green loading wheel, there was a popup message: "Blackberry Bridge plug-in for BBM does not exist, or your version of BBM does not support Blackberry Bridge." It had been like this for the last few days.

Last night I left both phone and Playbook bridged before bed, this morning (7 hours later) I opened up BBM, and voila it worked! I dont know what happened. I didn't do anything. Fyi, the battery drain seemed normal, 3-4% drop with browser open, wifi & bluetooth on and in bridge mode.

My guess is bold 9000 has very low memory left. Turning on Bridge really absorbs most of my available memory. After a battery pull, I normally have 30-35 MB. Right after I turn on the BB Bridge, I can't really use my phone for 5 to 10 mins, since it keeps loading. A moment later, I got only 5-10 MB free memory left. Leaving both overnight might settle them down a bit, hence this morning I managed to get the BBM on Playbook to work.

Just sharing my experience. PS: I haven't tried to disconnect and connect them again. I believe it won't work.



UPDATE: I closed the BBM in playbook and opened it up straight away. It still works.

[MikeFromCanada]

Yep, same here. I've been on JSL's 5.0 hybrid for weeks now with no problems at all with leaking memory. Would start around 32MB after restart and 3-4 days after i'd stil be around 20 MB.

Installed the bridge app on my phone, suddenly in a matter of 10-12 horrs I go from 32 to 1 MB, which goes up to 4MB and comes back down. Unreal!

Hi

[berrydeck]

[fonthillhdtv]

newbie questions please be patient. i have an unlocked bold 9000 from work running on rogers without data. I have version 4.6.0.303 running on the phone . bought a playbook to use with the phone calendar but cannot get the bridge software for the phone. do i need to get a newer software version to make it work and how do i get it as the phone will not let me go to app world even using wifi.
