Every time I start my camera I get an error message. "Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again." What does this mean? Which apps would I have to close, and how do I close them? Any help would be great. Thanks

If this is something new, while the power is on pull the battery out, wait 30 seconds and replace. That might sort it out.....

It is not a new issue, its been happening for 6 months.

This is for an 8330

I had the same issue. Ended up taking it back to sprint and was given a new phone.

Camera suddenly started with this error after 2-3 months. Tried a half dozen fixes found on forums and the only one that worked was:
Remove battery while phone is on. WAIT for 30 seconds before reinserting and restarting. Hope it works for y'all!

OMG, I should have come here sooner...... I tried the 30 second thing and yay, now my camera works! I didn't know wtf was wrong with it.

Thanks!
