Research In Motion has officially called it quits on the 16 GB BlackBerry Playbook, however still plans on continuing production of the 32 and 64 GB models.  This is of course due to the fact that there is so much competition out there with the android tablets as well as the Ipad.  RIM has been selling their PlayBook tablets at a remarkably reduced price in the hopes of getting it into more hands in an attempt to regain some of the tablet market.

RIM is really struggling to stay above the water right now and I think this is a step in the right direction.  RIM needs to focus on BlackBerry 10 and should be cutting a lot of the dead weight products of the company and routing those funds towards the future products, which at this point have the ability to see them back on track or cripple them in the consumer based market for good.

The challenge it’s called the Instagram Photo a day challenge and the basic concept of this challenge is to take a picture every day according to a particular category or theme. Every day you look at the list and you will receive a word for example – “soft” and so you would come up with an interesting picture taken of something soft and then you would share that photo on Instagram, facebook, twitter or your other favorite social networking sites.

If you choose to share you pictures via Instagram you would simply upload your photo, give it a filter that further enhances the photo and then put #photoadayJune in the caption so that other people can see your photo a day Instagram june challenge.

One of the most well known errors that you will encounter while using a BlackBerry smartphone is an app or jvm related error. Blackberry error 102 or jvm error 102 basically points to an error in a .cod file of an application or process that is running.  When the BlackBerry starts up it runs a check on all of the software files installed on the BlackBerry and if it notices a corruption or a problem with one of the files it will throw a blackberry error 102 or jvm error 102.

How do you resolve this issue?

Sadly the usual answer to this is that unless the BlackBerry tells you in the error message or you know what application files has become corrupt there really is no way to “Resolve” or “Fix” the issue. If you call BlackBerry Technical support they will usually gather logs from your phone and will review the logs to see what’s causing the error.  Many times when the BlackBerry receives an error 102 or a jvm error 102 it means that you will have to complete a couple of workarounds in order to overcome the error.

Option 1: Try taking the battery out for 30 seconds and then replacing it.  If this does not work make sure that you have the most up to date device software installed on the BlackBerry.  These update often have many fixes and updates to prevent errors such as the Blackberry error 102 or jvm 102 error.  If you have the most updated software and you still have the error you will need to do the next option.

Option 2:  Unfortunately if the above option did not work you will have to reload the BlackBerry OS back on the phone.  This can be achieved either through the BlackBerry Desktop Software or through the BlackBerry Apploader.  In my experience with this type of error and the process of reloading the BlackBerry OS it is much easier and more effective to use the AppLoader to reload your BlackBerry OS.   You can learn how to do that here – How to Reload BlackBerry OS with AppLoader.

At this point in time these are the only 2 workarounds that will work to get rid of this error.  So what I would suggest you take away from this is to make sure you are making backups of your BlackBerry on a regular basis this will prevent you from losing all of your information should you have to resort to reloading your operating system.
