        I'm not certain why that was happening, or what I did to resolve it. Some symptoms:

        The BB service that intercepts GCM registration requests stopped working, and we would get back "null" as a registration id.

        The Video playing widget changed not only in look and feel, but in its behaviour as well. Prior to this, the onActivityResult callback provided an Intent containing a URI that is to be used to query the original container for the result. In this case the Intent would contain a URL that we could use to run a query on the camera to find the video the camera had captured. The new UI broke this contract and instead returned a direct path in the filesystem where the video was stored. I now check if the cursor is empty and try to load the video file directly, and that seems to work.

        Other than that, I tried several times to reset the phone to factory settings to revert the OS change to no avail. However there are two links to do this in the Blackberry Link software and I think the second one worked better. At least it seemed to reset passwords and all my user data. Also, there is a deep cycle power off, holding the power button for 10s (instead of the shallow power down 3s) which also seemed to help with the GCM registration.

        At this stage all the original features are working.
