Storm Camera:! Could not start the camera.....
- I had the same problem w/ my first Storm. backed up and wiped it twice... still never worked. I got fed up w/ it, walked into the VZW store, went to CS and said, "Hi, my camera isn't working." They said, "Let me give it to a tech." No lie, two minutes later, the lady walked out w/ a box and new phone saying they haven't seen that before. So yeah, didn't have to go through the insurance and $50 or anything. She just handed me the phone and i was on my way. You should try that.
Go to the store and talk to the person. A hardware issue isn't your fault, therefore insurance shouldn't matter. Try what i suggestted; just go to the store and tell them its not working, and hopefully they'll do to you what they did for me, and just hand you a new phone. Worth a shot.Last edited by MattD; 01-20-10 at 09:36 AM.

- My storm is also having this issue. Battery pull usually fixes the issue but only for a short time. I will try wiping and reloading later to see if that helps. Still on my first storm 12-08 purchase date. Never any issues until now. Might be Weatherbug related as That is the only program I have changed in the past 4 months.01-25-10 07:21 AMLike 0

Put some pressure on the phone with your thumbs on the camera lense and your index fingers holding the backside near your earpiece and LED light.
A connection worked itself loose on my camera just a few days ago and this fixed it.
There is another thread on this elsewhere too.
edit: I had the same error message you did and wipes and an OS upgrade did nothing to solve the issue until I tried the fix above
love you so much!!!10-16-10 09:52 AMLike 0 - 10-21-10 03:19 PMLike 0
- Was having same problem. Tried everything. Just took battery out for hundreth time and pushed on the lens, then smacked the phone real hard against my hand a few times, put the batery back in and now the camera works!!! I think it was the frustrated smacking that did it! Thanks.01-01-11 12:48 PMLike 0
- battery pull, removing the sim card and memory card then put back battery without the cards, reboot and uninstall expired applications which were downloaded for a period of time may resolve the problem. this is wgat i did to my bb storm 9530.03-03-11 09:33 AMLike 0
