Since day one, my PlayBook and 9700 (OS5) have bridged with no problems, but when I woke this morning, Bridge no longer worked. (My phone reboots every night using QuickPull, but my use of QuickPull predates the PlayBook.)
What I have tried so far:
- Rebooting both phone and PB
- Upgrading to latest Bridge OTA (1.0.6.5).
- Uninstalling Bridge and reinstalling
I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but is it possible AT&T did something to cripple my phone's ability to Bridge -- even though I use the OTA version and not the AppWorld version? (Sorry, but AT&T's monopolistic behavior doesn't lend the company any trustworthiness.)
Is anyone else suddenly having Bridge problems this morning?

edit: More info
- PB recognizes the phone via bluetooth.
- Phone sees the PB, but will not establish a connection.
- Sometimes, when trying to pair, I will get the 6-digit verification numbers on both. I select "yes", but still no connection. Sometimes I don't even get the numbers. The phone just does the 45 second timeout.
- All Bridge icons have disappeared from the PB.

edit: Problem solved. See below.
had something similar, you shoul find this bridge related thread not that far bellow.
in brief, I had it back and clean by deleting bluetooth entries on both pb and bb.
just as a precaution, wen yoy mean reboot, do you talk about a clean stop (10
sec. hold of (physical) stop button ? If not, try this prior to anything.

Reason: link to previous thread
I followed the link in post #4 above, and followed the advice there. It worked. Bridge is working again, though I'm pretty sure I had already followed the suggested procedure.

Gremlins, I guess.
Thx for the follow up.
BTW the #5 referred to an (explicit) song of the S*x Pistols "Who killed Bambi" ... But sure, most of you weren't born ... (if you google it, keep parents, girlfriend and kids away lol)
