I have a 9780 with bridge ver 1.0.7.4. When I check for updates it says I have the most recent version. I need ver 2.0 for bridge on my phone for it to work right?
alt+rst at the same time when you go into "my world"
wow!! fanstatics!! the new remote and keyboard works okay for my bold 9780!! just one point want to let you all know is that Chinese input is still not available through the 2.0 bridge anyway, it really rocks to have this new feature!! love you blackberry!!!
Can you open the page on your phones browser and then use the menu button to "open on playbook"?
Have the option, but it didn't do anything other than start the remote control on my BB. Then when I tried to close the remote control my BB rebooted, lol. I guess that is a 2.0 feature only.
I am impressed. Been patiently waiting here in St. John's NL since xmas for this update; knew it was coming. Only using Remote so far (9800 Torch) and I like it. A lot. I might have to stay up all night!!
Wonder if those apple types like a little BLACKBERRY in their pie???
Do you have instructions describing how to do this?
Yes but it's a little tricky and is not 100% working because once I exit "remote control", you can't do it again until you remove the 9900 bluetooth device from your laptop and add it again and this is troublesome because some of the bluetooth drivers are missing. Here's how I did it:
1. Make sure your phone is not a bluetooth device on your laptop.
2. Add it to your laptop and let it load the drivers (for me three don't get installed)
3. Go to your Bluetooth settings and make sure your laptop is listed.
4. Ensure that your Playbook is disconnected and your laptop is connected.
5. Start Bridge 2.0 on your Blackberry and click on the "Use Remote Control" button.
Any one else have a slightly intermittent problem using the bottom bezel up gesture to minimize the current program? Swipe from top down, or from left to right/right to left works perfectly all the time, but about 70% of the time I have to try a few times to swipe up to get back to home screen.
Also, when you have a longgg list of apps, or a lotttt of songs or videos, and you want to scroll.....the drag lock really doesn't work well. Try it....with several hundred songs, it takes forever to scroll down to W.
Apart from these 2 things, I am very impressed (although find it odd that to get this working all it took was an update on our PHONES....couldn't they have released this aaages ago for us??).
Oh, Verizon Bold 9930 here with PB 1.0.8.6067 OS. Anyone else having the swipe up gesture hit and miss problem?
