    BB 8320The camera application does not open to be able to use it. When choosing the camera icon on the screen the application seems to try to open but it doesn't. A dialog box comes on with the following message: COULD NOT START THE CAMERA. CLOSE OTHER APPLICATIONS AND TRY OPENING THE CAMERA AGAIN.

    In the past it happened once and was advised to remove the battery and after placing the BB on a flat surface to apply digital pressure on the devise itself. The camera application work fine for a while. Now I have encountered the same situation. Any advise ??????

    Just checked the video camera application and it opens momentarily and closes immediately so I asume the entire camera application is blocked

    Hmmm..... this is a tricky one.

    Have you tried applying analog pressure?

    Ok....... please forgive me, I just couldn't resist it!



    (And by the way, what IS digital pressure?).
