Hi, I just traded my phone for a curve 8320 and it keeps saying, "Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again."
Anyone know whats wrong with it. I can't find any other running apps. Tried pulling the battery, cleaning the card areas.
Any help would be appreciated.
Second hand for sure
Dont know if its refurbished.
I don't think you can even get them here in canada yet. I live in Kitchener/Waterloo Ontario
And Reasearch in Motion is right here in town so it may have been an employees or returned... I don't know
Everything works good except the camera
I can get into the camera options if I press the bb button as soon as it comes on.I,ve tried changing all the options including saving pics to the sd card. As soon as I exit the menu, a second later the error message comes up
Try this. Take out the battery, and the microsd card. Put the battery back in. Does it work? If it does, put the microsd card back in. If it doesn't work after putting the microsd card back in, then the problem is your card.
Just doing somemore reading and found a post on BES
When I checked my security settings it says my IT Policy Name is HQ WLAN Device Settings. Updated Mar 22, 2007 6:38 AM
Does that have anything to do with it?
Ok, got rid of the IT Policy and it opened up a few things like passwords and unlocking features but I still get the error message when I start the camera.
I'll try updating the os tomorrow and see if that helps
Thanks
Put the new os on and the same thing. I opened every app, and closed it with the menu and still it says close all applications and restart camera
I give up
Thats right. It helped with a few other issues I had like putting in a password everytime i used the phone, which couldn't be changed before.
I'll try the older version later today
I'm convinced there is something wrong with the camera.
Used an older version of dm and reloaded the older curve os and I still get the same crap.
Now I finally give up. I never used the camera feature on my last phone so its not that big of a deal for me. It would still be nice to have. Maybe the new os coming out will help. I'll just have to wait
Ok I just downloaded 4.3.1 and love the features. All the new stuff works except the stupid camera, still getting the error message with the camera and the video camera starts and then just exits on its own a few seconds later.
This is driving me crazy. I exited all applications except 4...phone, messages, homescreen, and browser. I close them and it still won't work. I erased everything I don't normally use, bbm, tasks, and a few other apps and all games. It still says close other applications and restart camera. Anybody ever fix this?
I hate to revive this thread and I feel your pain damann. I'm having the same problem. My Curve 8330 is six days old, bought it brand new from Verizon. Memory is good, 2GB card in and 38519530 file free. Did a battery R&R which did nothing.
Only thing I can think of is I plugged it into a computer to charge it, and the XP OS tried opening up all kinds of crap on the desktop. Could this have something to do with it? I had never connected it to a computer before and only did so b/c I didn't have my AC charger on hand and a co-worker of mine had her USB cable at the office.
Any thoughts? I differ from damann in that I enjoy using the camera on my BB and would miss it...
