To go along with the release of PlayBook OS 2.0 we're all going to need a new BlackBerry Bridge update and although we heard that update may have been delayed to coincide with the release of PlayBook OS 2.0 to help avoid folks from trying to use features not compatible with their PlayBook, it looks like some folks never got the memo. The original rumored release date of the 20th has stuck and BlackBerry Bridge v2.0.0.25 is now appearing in BlackBerry App World. Go ahead and fire up App World, if it's there -- grab it. If not, sit tight, it'll show up soon.

Five50What

This BBRemoteControl is freakin bad a** with the click-screen of my Storm2!!

edyb

Confirmed, shows up on Rogers in Canada. Had to update appworld, reboot, refresh a few times. Finally showed up! I am now using it to type this on my Torch 9810. And yes it works on Playbook OS 1.08 the last official release!

By the way, hold ALT on keyboard while dragging on bridge trackpad to SCROLL webpages.

Oh yeah, also downloading Asphalt and Modern Combat. Thanks crackberry for spreading the news! Wouldn't have known otherwise, not showing up in features apps even. Playbook users feeling the love tonight! :-)

Playbook OS 1.08.6067
Torch 9810

TheWait_IsOver

I'm sha-a-a-aking too!!!!!

bradfordjohnson

B1aze, maybe now would be a good time to promote http://rroyy.com/ota/ for this. They've got it up.

Also, on my phone I'm seeing "open link on Playbook" when I do a hold down on a link. It doesn't do anything yet on the Playbook.

altrax

It begins!!!!!!!!!! doubters eat your hearts out

wazzugrad

Now just patiently waiting for OS2 to get here.....

bounce007

WOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

axllebeer

Oh F yeah! If ever we wanted confirmation, this is as good as the CEO himself saying ready, set, go!
Open app word, hold alt + press r, s, t and there it is! :) oh happy day before the next happy day.
Boldly sent from my 9930

Update: typing this on my 9930 right now onto the PlayBook. Remote control works right now on the current official PlayBook build! :)

mkye86

Wow, wow, wow! I can't believe I am typing this into my PlayBook using my 9900 Keyboard. I am so stoked!!!

Heusen

mkye86

sgt_snacks-64

S^!* just got REAL!

You should still go to bed! OS2 is probably 10.5 - 12.5 hours from launch

siddo_d

iririr

sgt_snacks-64

Battery pull, try again, it IS there :)

iririr

I check for update on blackberry bridge app itself...says you have the latest....AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

mssca

Go to My World in your App World app and then press the BB button and hit refresh app list.

iririr

No luck....still seeing 1.0.7....DAMN i guess the servers in Australia are lagging behind....

I hate you RIM....just kidding...please bridge to my blackberry.....

CAJ

Just delete the current version and reboot. Install latest one from appworld and reboot. Cheers

iririr

Thanks man...finally got it to work...did an Alt RST ...hooohoooo

yvpan1

nope.. the down under is catching up! just tried to update, but yeah, no update notification on the app world. then i hit ALT+RST, the appworld closed for a while and i opened it again, voila... i've just installed this bridge 2.0 right on my bold 9900!

come on RIM, HIT IT, playbook OS 2.0, come to papa...

WHOOOOHOOOW!!!

KiwiChristine

I've got it in New Zealand, so you must get it in Aussie

dobiefan

Hitting the refresh app button worked for me. Two battery pulls did not!

JasunX

sgt_snacks-64

Playbook's gonna Play :)

weesteev

Confirmed here in the UK as well! Downloading now. So thats Asphalt 6 and Modern Warfare free and now BB Bridge 2.0 in the past 30 mins, great night so far!

altrax

Also anyone else besides me see this post drop everything and hit "Check for Updates" just incase RIM released them at the same time like they had mentioned?

rickgainsmith

Remote function works on 1.08!

sgt_snacks-64

No way! That's fantastic!

wazzugrad

Just saw that Works pretty good. Have a little bit of trouble swiping up to switch apps, but it could be me getting used to how it works.

marcin.warmuz

Confirmed :) whole remote control works including typing on BB keyboard

thpsrulr

Sure does work great, even on 1.08! This rocks!!!!

joseatnj

what happens to the AT&T users can we download it without an issue when we go to use it??

thelink74

im on AT@T and get the bridge updates from rroyy.com, now im patiently waiting for it to be posted on that site to download to my Bold 9900....

ekafara

He posted on twitter ,not too long ago, that he's working on the OTA right now.

thelink74

thanks eKaFara, he just got it posted and im downlaoding it as i type...

thelink74

oh wow! I'm actually typing this piece using BlackBerry remote feature, so can't wait for OS2.0 tomorrow morning...

cherolis

Rory rocks. I wouldn't be surprised if ATT put a hit out on him.

mssca

So much for free economy. What a joke!

cjterminator

guys, make sure you do not try new bridge functionality till OS2.0 is also installed :) They wanted to delay Bridge update to 21-Feb also for that purpose.

rickgainsmith

Already have, it works fine...excellent actually!

pushfan

except bridge browser is gone

GhassanBB

Downloading now in Saudi Arabia , still cant believe list available for us so soon, too . Good work RIM

LOVE U RIM ««« we are still waiting for arabic keyboard later on OS2.0

And there is no available update for the playbook OS

smartferret

Just dropped in the UK just over 10 hours for the big one :)

steele_9

just got it, downloading now!!! and it begins. east coast USA!!!

Jean-luc_Picard

It was there for me, but wouldn't let me download, and then I rebooted and it didn't show up as an update at all! Am I too much of a nerd if I'm panicky right now?

ekafara

Same thing happening for me. Contemplating deleting bridge, rebooting my phone and then seeing what happens.

jerybis

you need to press ALT + rst inside your app world. then it will refresh the list. if after a while the refresh takes too long, just make a soft reboot hold a couple of second ALT + SHIFT + DEL or pull out oyur battery.
once rebooted, go again to app world and you should see a refresh automatically.

sgt_snacks-64

Remote works, Open on Playbook works

All on OS2 Beta :)

chrism_scotland

Remote function works brilliantly!!!!

tprime

wow the remote feature working great!!!!

rexxenex

shows the update but no 'upgrade' to click lol... ill try again in a bit

Abrante

Same here. I deleted it and am waiting for it to reboot. That should force it to download the latest version.

rickgainsmith

Within AppWorld:

Refresh List or ALT+RST

Updating from within Bridge never seems to work.

Abrante

If all else fails. Delete the app and re-install... It will force it to re-install the updated version. Worked like a charm for me.

rexxenex

downloading now!!!!!! Boom!!!!

wgtcarlos

From Brazil, counting the hours for the PB2!! Thanks RIM!!!

ndsouza

So excited!!! C'mon os 2.0!!! Writing this using the remote control feature on torch 9860!!! So cool!!!

kemj

OTA OTA OTA!! Pleaseee!!

jkris_bmw

Night out time from Toronto...................... :P

Jeovex

The heck I still don't have it here in ottawa, ontario, canada...
Maybe the torch 9810 is being left out again...

av8ryxx

Downloaded and installed in Vancouver on Telus!
Remote works on 2.0.0.7111 ! Can't wait for the Playbook Update..

cjterminator

Seems like App World is choking :) I think we need to ease out a bit.

BB_Bmore

lol picture that...people being patient hahaha

HUNTZODIAC

Finally i can't wait for the OS 2.0 update...only use bridge when u update to 2.0

Zodiac BBX (BB10)

Jeovex

Nvm working after list refresh

bigpolla04

BRIDGE UPDATE IS AVAILABLE IN IRELAND..... ITS LIKE CHRISTMAS ALL OVER AGAIN WOHOOOOOO

raddbj03

just refreshed my list and am currently downloading (green bay, wi)

Daeve

Hmm looks like it was pulled from my UK server. Was showing update available in app world, but no option to upgrade when clicked on it. Now it has no update available in app world. 2 battery pulls/ alt -rst's no joy. Check for updates within bridge shows I have the latest... maybe the volume of downloads?

Bolderholder

Not yet available here in T.O.!! Checked App World..nada. Did the old "CTRL R S T" thing...says "Upgrade Available", but nothing happens when BB Bridge is selected.

Anyone else in the GTA seeing the same?

Abrante

Delete the app and re-install. It will force the upgrade!

Bolderholder

Thanks! Got it!

Remote control is cool!!!!

SFWriter

OK... OK (pant...drule..) Breath.... Sooon my precious.... Soon we will have it. Soon it will be ours - Two point 'O' will come to us and it will be ours...

cjterminator

Hey Bla1ze, it will be great if you can post change log here in the post also.
Btw it says copy paste works now in Bridge apps :)

jasperlin

IT HAS BEGUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bolderholder

The excitement got to RIM too.....prematurely released..... ;o)

They swore that never happened before...lol...

tprime

i had to delete the old bridge first. when i reinstalled it was new bridge.

Abrante

Same method that worked for me. I kept getting the "upgrade available" but no update button. lol

cletis

All i needed to do was refresh the list, then the Update button showed up.

3Athlete

Just refreshed and downloading now in southern ontario!! So pumped for this!!

rexxenex

This is awesome! Typing this off my 9900!! The remote feature works amazing!

Cazurela

Still no update on BB Bridge at this point. Maybe it will be slower for OS6 devices like my 9800 Torch?

shebmiller

nope, got it on mine after a few refreshes
try all methods mentioned above :)

jasperlin

how do i do a refresh?? panicking, mucan't remember. must get it now!

Abrante

Open AppWorld and hold Alt and press R S T...

If that doesn't work for you just delete the App and when you re-install the update will take its place.

2ys4u

In App World, go to your list of apps , tap menu key then tap refresh :)njoy!

BB_Bmore

remote works great,open up works great and the new bridge icons onn the Playbook are SEXY!!!!

segunnatural

-go-leafs-go-

It WORKS!! I'm soooo excited!!
I didn't get the update notification. I had to refresh list and VOILA..

mz. yaya

Oooohhh my freeakin goodness!! I LOVE the remote control!!!

Bolderholder

Yep, deleting bb bridge first before downloading the one in App World works!

dboy54

remote works like a charm. says bbm version is not bridge compatible. i wonder if that will be an update too?
nevermind. battery pull fixed it all.

sdmcdowell05

Do you have to restart the playbook to make it work? Downloading now!

Abrante

If you mean the remote control feature. Once you are bridged go to your bluetooth connections (where it shows the paired device) on your phone and you'll see the use remote control button. You should be good after that :)

sgiann

its now available in Toronto....Boom!!!

rexxenex

Nice use of the Boom!

derrickps3

man this thing works flawlessly, thanks RIM

segunnatural

Welcome king of tablets...

stevepar

diggin4aliving

Just showed up on my 9860 in Canada!! Good stuff.

vhorst

The REMOTE OPTION is available and it is AMAZING!

montyl

Deleting v1 and then went back into App World and v2 was all that was available.

-RYknow

I would be lying if I said I didn't just navigate here and type out this message using my playbook and 9930 as a tandem dream team!! This is better then I expected!!! Can't wait to get up early for 2.0!!!

rickkel

Too cool. The remote feature is better than I thought it would be. Typed this post on my Torch 9850. Fantastic!

dantesinclair11

yessir!. just downloaded it to my 9930. can't wait to play with my pb at home and this.

petworks97

not showing up here in NY

just did a refresh and it's there. Downloading now!

Zach Gilbert

Most of the Bridge 2.0 features will work on the current, non beta build of the PlayBook OS. Also make sure you select "show on home screen" to put the remote icon on your bb home screen.

RetroAndreas

Downloading now in the Toronto area

focker1979

Just downloaded from rroyy.com. Remote function working on PB OS 1.0.8.6067!!! Sweet, can't wait for 2.0!!!

louboutins

SWEET. DOWNLOADING NOW :D

zmi007

for all that they are not able to see it just make a refresh for your app and you should see it

mrbquick

how do you use the remote feature. I downloaded it already

grindcorefan

downloading here in the philippines.. now waiting 2.0 to drop, bring on the new apps!!!!!! :)

sdmcdowell05

Remote is incredible. Playbook is hooked up to my tv via hdmi. I am on my couch using it as a huge playbook! The only thing I am having trouble with at the moment is scrolling down on a web page.

-RYknow

Scrolling is working good for me, just need to use two fingers instead of 1.

I'm having an issue with the presenter feature. If I go into my photos, I can use the Next button, but the previous botton isn't working. Minor issue, but hopefully it gets straightened out.

cblguy

if you're using a trackpad, hold the alt key and you'll be scrolling through your page!!

jerybis

here in Belgium, after a reset Alt + rst ... new version was avalaible. thanks for the notification!

needforbbx

showed up after appworld refresh and then vanished. damm must be lost downloads.

Abrante

Delete the app and re-install. The updated version will takes its place, enjoy!

needforbbx

just did that and now taking 4ever to load. will just have to be patient.

Abrante

Good things come to those who wait. Who knows, it might be loading 3.0 for you. lol... jk... Hope it solved your issue though!

vikrambaid

Downloaded in India on by BB8530!! Still not available on the 9800!!
Surprising!!

koool1

Downloading.

It's like a present on new years eve! Very excited!!

miktro

Ya baby this is so sweet typing this on my 9900 to my playbook. Loving it . I'm going to be up all night just playing with bridge.

BigAl_BB9900

downloading now..... I'm excited - its feeling a bit like being a little kid on xmas eve....

now, as long as PC OS2 comes out tomorrow, and they finally get UMA onto the 9900 I'll be ecstatic

2ys4u

I'm using my playbook n haven't touched it in fifteen minutes! We are deserving!

07thking

Got mine :)

Update : typing with the remote typing feature now which is a go with this new version of bridge!!

telephonemike

Its working. For those not seeing the upgrade. You can delete the current version that you have, reboot & then go back into app world. If you dont see the new version you might have to refresh the app list & then it should show up.

Took me a few times to get it but its finally working on my 9900 on TELUS.

Thinking that RIM will release 2.0 a few hours early to show just a little love to PB owners.

Matt J

The remote control works on 1.0.8!!!!

metalerjf

wow wow wow

alexkinsella

Hi @BigAl_BB9900,

Alex from RIM here. Thanks for all of the positive feedback and I love to see the excitement! Since you’re making the most of the new BlackBerry Bridge app, I recommend checking out this video (http://bbry.lv/z1IsJk) that highlights the new BlackBerry Bridge features in PlayBook 2.0. It really shows off the power of your smartphone and tablet working together, including the ability to use your phone’s keyboard as a wireless remote control for your PlayBook.

Cheers,

Alex, RIM Social Media Team

tee_sc

This awesome update is recommend to all the people that really love their playbooks

berrybait

I'm typing this from my BB phone using the remote feature!! Awesome!! You can left, right and middle click as well. Also, you can press and hold the trackpad to use drag lock for moving and dropping content. This is wicked!!! Not to mention presenter mode.

illini2097

I downloaded this from rroyy.com (because I'm on AT&T). After I installed it, I rebooted my phone.
As soon as my phone started I got a white screen that says App Error and my phone shut down and it won't started up again.

Any help would be appreciated (did 3 battery pulls so far to no avail).

I have a 9700 running 6.0.0.723

Thanks

EDIT: My phone magically started working again without me touching it :) Loving the new remote feature!!

HabsSuck

PlayBook connected to my 50 inch Sumsung,
Remote control is awesome

kozmo68

Works great love this, need to fully figure it ou but so far so good. Bring on 2.0!

Scrybe

All works well except that I can't make the "Open With" function work.

matkas

Did you know that the remote feature works with PB OS 1..6067?
I was surprised and it is awesome!

Edit

I just saw Some one mentioning it earlier .
Nerver mind ( but it still awesome)

jefo13

For those on 7.1 make sure you download the right bridge if doing OTA, my icon would not show and then noticed RROYY reposted a 7.1 version. That dude Rocks!

bitek

Refresh worked for me to get 2.0 and remote control also works well. I am typing this on my 9810. Now I want 9900 with beautiful keyboard !

mnhockeycoach99

Anyone having issues viewing picts from your BB handset on your PlayBook using the new Bridge?

Foppa_21

only if I try "open on playbook"

normal bridge email attachments work great

Foppa_21

just noticed the new bridge memo pad lets you copy/paste!

Scooter68

Sweeeeeet... the normal browser now works with bridge. No more bridge browser needed. I cannot wait for 4:01 am.

Stoked!!!

Also typed on my BB 9860

linuxdaemon

The remote wasn't working for me until I rebooted my playbook. But after that it's working like a charm. Just that update is so cool CAN'T WAIT for official 2.0!

HabsSuck

Netflix where are you, don't you want our business!

GeneralHerzog

It's like the day I brought the PB home from BestBuy. This remote control is going to keep me going for hours.
Anyone else notice the revamped bridge icons.

illini2097

Yeah I noticed them too!!!

salamakal

Can someone check if they have bridge browser? my disappear with rroyy OTA.
running OS 1 and BB 7.1

cblguy

mine did as well, but to be completely honest, I never used it anyways. I always used the regular browser.

salamakal

was wondering if it was coming from ATT or the update.

ashdeltor

OMG this is working great! This is what I've been waiting for. Man when 2.0 drop its on like Dunky Kong!!
But you're right the bridge browser disappeared.

hakdaddy1

Torch 9800 Tmobile UK. Crackberry owner since '04

i'm so upset, could only happen to me i downloaded the update after having to delete the app the to force the upgrade... i click blackberry bridge 2.0 on my torch and poof it rebooted and on a constant reboot cycle ever since. trying to resurrect it but its bricked! fuming... at least im under warranty still so will have to wait for tmobile to send me out a new phone but they dont stock 9800 anymore :-(

bcuffy

I want to kiss my cat! Downloading. Long live rim. Now plug the os2 for playbook and I' send you
some hot caribbean weather.... come on....

sdmcdowell05

Sooo awesome. Loving remote. Does anyone know how to zoom? Is it possible? Pinch to zoom doesn't work.

desertdoc1

Please help: downloaded the new Bridge and now my 9900 "hangs" when trying to turn bridge "on". Can't pair it with my Pbook. Using OS 7.1.0.74

just_luc

I'm having the same problem.. tried rebooting, deleting and re-installing bridge.. nothing works.. can't re-pair..

kb2755

Also having an issue on 7.1.0.74, It looks like our 9900 OS might be the issue.

No one else seems to really be having issues with Bridge except us and there have been a number of updates to our phones since .74 leaked. This leads me to think that our OS doesn't support the new Bridge app.

I'm going to try an OS update tomorrow and see if that solves the issue.

Siiid

love the scrolling, and definitely love the typing from my 9900, blackberry bridge is now awesome. Love it.

alpinechem

Damn not available yet in Canada.

berrybait

Yes, it is. Go to "My world" in app world and refresh.

juacas

In Colombia... here we go...

FunktasticLucky

Ill join the club. Here in okinawa japan the update has dropped. I am now going to bed and i hope that os2 is available when i wake up tonight.

Brianflys

Very cool. Typing this on my Torch 9850, which makes a great screen for remote controlling the PlayBook. Gonna try the control functions for the media player, to see if I can chill on the sofa and control the PB connected to my TV.

One more nite...then 2.0!

Edit: Remote Control works perfectly with the video player. Xcelent!

alpinechem

Wow I am running ver 2.0.0.4869 and I can control my PlayBook from my Bold 9900

bcuffy

Thanks for wonderful technology that will make me more productive. Thanks for the insight that you have given to rim. Thanks for your patience that you bestowed upon me to wait and thanks for the coming soon OS2. Let the fun begin. In Jesus name!

cscott44

This is ABSOLUTELY awesome!! Way to go Rim!! Typing from my 9930. Love it!!!

costas1966

Soooo impressed with the new features so far....I had to post this on my facebook page:

RIM released a long awaited update to the Bridge app...you can now control your Playbook remotely from your BB phone...WAY TO GO RIM!!! Now, after tomorrow's release of the new Playbook OS2, you will be able to download and use many Android apps on Playbook, among other awesome features!!! Poor Apple users...while I can hook up my Playbook's HDMI 1080p connection and watch the latest movie I downloaded to my 50" plasma tv and control EVERYTHING with my BB Torch...you can sit and watch Canadian Netflix on your 9.8" iPad, as Apple controls everything you do. Moooooooooo..... hehehe. :)

This is so awesome! My parents (who are visiting me, not me living on their basement or anything weird like that) think I am crazy. I'm giddy, kind of bouncing in my seat. Well, maybe a bit more than 'kind of'. Can't wait for the 2.0 to complete the pair.

imarinopulos

Awsome. It works perfectly on my Bold 9000! Thank you RIM from Greece.

I just found out that (on non-touch screen BlackBerries) you can preform the same gestures with the track pad as you could with your finger on the screen of the playbook.

For example, on my 9700, if you move the cursor to the bottom of the screen (or any other edge) you can hold the alt key, then click the track pad to preform the needed action. So, if you moved the cursor to the bottom of the screen (app running), the cursor turns to a upward arrow, hold alt and click, it takes you to the home screen.

Confirmed on "app menus" (top) and scrolling apps sideways.

You can also hold the track pad button down over an app (home screen) and swipe up to close.

Downloading OS 2 for the PlayBook in Chicago, Illinois, USA. @ 4:00 am :) I have AT&T and had problems downloading the new bridge version, however, I was able to download and install it from: http://rroyy.com/ota/ using my phone's browser and it seems to be working the way its supposed to.

Ahh I was hoping you could control the volume and switch tracks using your phone buttons instead of having to navigate..

Have an old Tour and no upgrade for it. Does this upgrade only work on 6.0 and newer?
