Hello All.
I made a post a few days ago bc I could not get bridge to work with my torch 9800 (att). I followed the advice, still didnt work..called att tech.to see if it was the phone ..still nothing and finally rim tech support for playbook after wasting a hr of my time by keeping me on hold
I have given up all hope of getting bridge to connect..or should i just return it already...
AT&T blocks the Bridge Browser only. You can still use Bridge to access email, calendar, etc. When I click on the Bridge Browser, A message pops up saying to call AT&T to sign up for a tethering plan.
From what I've been reading on the forums, all other carriers do not block any of the Bridge capablities.
OP, if I were you I would start from scratch. Wipe your phone and Playbook and do not restore anything from a backup and go from there. You might have introduced more problems installing and uninstalling settings that might have rendered Bridge usleless. Keep at it and don't give up because Bridge makes the PlayBook really shine.

Then, if it's not working, you should backup your PB, do a security wipe, and selective restore (mind the apps, prefer an appWorld reinstall). If it's still wrong, you may have a lemon ... try to have it exchanged.
EDIT: just saw your previous posts ... since you have not said what you've done ... this is the same solution I gave then.
I may be wrong but doesnt AT&T block bridge access.
If you are on ATT, then do not download the Bridge app from AppWord. Download the Over The Air version at Your BlackBerry Home Page. Click on applications, and then click on the appropriate Bridge link for your phone.
The OTA version of Bridge will work for all Bridge features, and you will not incur data charges from ATT.
