BlackBerry Bridge 2.0.0.35 now available
By Adam Zeis on 27 Jun 2012 03:13 pm
A small update to BlackBerry Bridge is now available. The new version sits at 2.0.0.35 and really only looks to fix one issue some users were having (although there may be other tweaks behind the scenes as well). Ths fix is for users who were experiencing a BlackBerry Browser error when using Bridge.
The update is showing as available in App World however some users are reporting it doesn't look like it can be installed just yet. If you do get it up and running be sure to drop a comment letting us know.

Downloading now and now installed, have to wait to get home to see the PB and Bridge updates, waiting to see what goodies are available NOW!!!

Funny - I leave my PB at home too. I feel like I should be carrying with me more often.
QuIcKsIlV3r Jun 27, 2012 at 5:38 pm
I usually have mine with me as I take a bus to work, and use my PB for reading/entertainment but I was in such a rush this morning, I forgot it at home lol

Hmm, ran into this issue on the GF's BlackBerry when we changed her SIM card, I had just assumed it was Rogers being evil. Didn't realize it was a known issue! Will get her to try it.

I get the notice for upgrade available in application world but there is no option (ie. button) to upgrade.
Kyle27 Jun 27, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Reboot your phone and you'll be able to download the upgrade.
Bold 9900
Torch 9810
PlayBook 64GB
loonies123 Jun 27, 2012 at 3:43 pm
Weird! I just tried that and now the upgrade isn't available anymore.
Kyle27 Jun 27, 2012 at 10:36 pm
In "My World" under the 'Installed' tab, hit your menu key and select 'Refresh List'. Voila. The update is ready for download.

A little off topic, but can I bridge two different BB phones to one Playbook? I have an old Storm 9550 (that I use for work now) and a Torch 9850 (that is my personal phone) and have been thinking of getting a Playbook. I'd like to be able to use both with the Playbook at the same time.
PostMortem Jun 27, 2012 at 4:36 pm
If your question is can you bridge more than one BlackBerry phone to the tablet, yes. At the same time, no.
What do you hope to achieve? I have a 9550 and a 9810 and I bridge both to the PlayBook, but can only use one combination of them at a time.
skm67 Jun 27, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Thanks for replying! So, how do you switch back and forth between your two devices? Is it easy to switch?
I use the Storm 9550 for work and the Torch 9850 for personal, so I would like to be able to use the Playbook with both phones.
axllebeer Jun 27, 2012 at 7:27 pm
Yes it's pretty easy. Just have Bridge and bluetooth turned on for whichever phone you are using. And there is a bridge section in the PlayBook setting and you can choose the proper phone from there. The PlayBook remembers all BlackBerry phones it pairs with unless you erase them. :)
skm67 Jun 28, 2012 at 2:35 am
Great! Thanks!

Is Playbook 2.1 next in line?
wgtcarlos Jun 27, 2012 at 5:09 pm
Wondering the same here...
keefrto Jun 27, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Had to alt rst3 times but now downloading.
Devhux Jun 27, 2012 at 4:12 pm
This is a long shot, but does this unlock the ability to text message from PlayBook OS 2.1 beta?
QuIcKsIlV3r Jun 27, 2012 at 7:57 pm
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kandoo-BB Jun 27, 2012 at 4:20 pm
no that would be bridge 2.1
keefrto Jun 27, 2012 at 4:22 pm

Version 2.0.0.33 – to be posted for 6.0/6.1 users
middbrew Jun 27, 2012 at 6:12 pm
I'm a bit confused. Which phone runs 6.1?
I believe you mean 6.0 will be 2.0.0.33 as OS 6.1 had a version name change to 7.0.
thelink74 Jun 27, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Darn this AT&T!! since I am running 7.0 I'm not getting any of the fixes.....
XDrew42 Jun 27, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Open app world. Select on menu. Refresh list. Viola.
Download. Did this while listening to music via Bluetooth headset on beach. Finished beer. Now biking home to bridge and watch tablet TV. Cheers. oh. Have a storm 2. Worked perfecttly. Version .32. Btw

I can just tell from your post you are in the zone off that booze lol
all3n7 Jun 27, 2012 at 7:56 pm
I have bold 9930, version 7.1. I download the update. Theres no need to be excited, i dnt see anything interesting and changes. Must be just a bug fix, I have PB 64gb. But you know what this means, if the phone has an update. For sure there would be an update coming next for Playbook. I hope for text capability ( receive and send )
BB_Bmore Jun 27, 2012 at 9:08 pm
Wrong. It doesn't mean that at all.
It did use to mean that but not no more and I can tell you with 99% certainty that there will be no playbook update that follows.
sportline Jun 27, 2012 at 11:54 pm
nothing new. just another slow, agonising bridge. my 9900 stalls now and again.
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Jun 28, 2012 at 12:15 am
Update is Just another excuse to fill up our phone memory to try and make us think we need more memory/a new phone sooner.
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Jun 28, 2012 at 12:18 am
I hope we get text capability soon over bridge. It would be nice to truly toss the phone asside when bridged and not have to keep both devices in reach.
louzer Jun 28, 2012 at 2:15 am
This fix is very nice. If I 'Open on Playbook' from a link in an email, the link launches on my PlayBook. If I close the tab and go to another link in another message, 'Open in Playbook is not a menu selection. It's fixed with this patch.
I can't wait until 2.1 comes along with SMS over Bridge.
sgt_snacks-64 Jun 28, 2012 at 5:59 am
Very excited about getting SMS over Bridge, as this is my main communication tool (in the UK, but my friends don't have Berries). Bit of a shame we can't do this yet, seeing as you can add SMS contacts into BBM on the phones.
odetolamsl7 Jun 28, 2012 at 8:09 am
don't know why update v.2.0.0.33 (3.1mB) came up but ve installed it
bb.pl Jun 28, 2012 at 8:44 am
Seriously is this a Joke.????!!!
I am sick and tired of RIM. after the bridge upgrade I can't connect the playbook with BB 9780. How can RIM be so ingenious ways of f'ing up things. No wonder the company is heading towards bankruptcy.
HabsSuck Jun 28, 2012 at 8:50 am
I can connect to my 9780 but this version has issues, internet is slow and access to my email is very buggy. Can I go back to the previous version?
I was very happy with the Bridge up until this morning.
why don't they get users to test these before they go out, I am a beta tester and never have I been asked to test the bridge app.
RIM you've taken away the one thing I like about the playbook and that's bridge functionality.

Showed up yesterday and downloaded and installed. Didnt notice anything different myself. But I like updates anyway lol
