When i go on my blackberry 8520 camera it says please close any other open applications and try again i turned off the phone than back on again but it says the same message

Any other program using the camera? (such as custom filters.. etc) if you have anything that is using the camera application then it won't actually close until you close the hosting program; easiest way is to take out the battery WHILE THE PHONE IS ON (important part, that's why I yelled it :) ) and leaving it out for about 10-20 seconds, reinsert and try again

please check that another application must be closed...or update your phone

This is a firmware related issue and can only be solved by either formatting or resetting the phone.
Also, you can upgrade the firmware and it should work fine.
If it gives problems after that, then you might need to get a replacement or send it to the company for repairs.
Hope this was useful?

your phone might be damage by the water, first turn off your phone, if you have an appropriate screw, open it then use blower to make it dry, or place it under the sun. your phone should be dry ... good luck

Something's eating up your memory! Pay attention to what apps are running - there's no room for your camera app to open.

Close the media player and try again.

Open your phone battery in running condition (Hard reboot) and try.

you have likely dropped your phone and this has caused the lens to move.....open the back of your phone; remove the battery and gently press on the camera lens. Replace the battery and start your phone up again....see if this helps.

rupesh ingie Hello the first thing you can do is pull the battery and let the phone reboot. If that doesn't work go to balckberry dot com and downlaod desktop manager. This will help you reload all you allpications back into the phone as well as backup yout information.You can also go in the optinons . The wrench looking icon on your phone and go to advance options and then settings and deletel any applications your not using. this is a sign that your phone memeory is being used up. You may need a memory cardfor your curve. You can then run applications and pictures of the memory card instead of the phone. You can delete some apps like chinses and *** fonts. if your not using the blackberry maps. if your not using brickbreaker. and a host of other apps. You don't want to erase the core ones.
