Hi all,
so i've been have another issue with my blackberry storm. this happens very rarely but is an inconvenience.
Every once in a while, mainly during browser use (could happen while using other applications too), my camera screen pops up (as if I'm intending on taking a picture). I can't exit out of the screen, and every time i try pressing the back button my home page application for a second, then disappears and i remain in the camera mode.
The only way i have found to get back to normal is to take the battery out and put it back in.
Anyone else having similar issues, and any idea as to the cause/way to fix this?
thanks in advance,
deckel

Do you have one of the side buttons assigned to launch the application? I believe the default action for the right convenience button is the camera, first thing I did was change that to another application, just a thought.

i do have it as default, but it still shouldn't get stuck in camera mode (to the point where i have to take battery out)...

I have run into the same issue. It seems to happen when I hover over a key on the keyboard too long. Rather than doing a reset, I take a picture, delete it, exit the camera app and go back to what I was doing. I found it helps to set the hover time 1000 (see Settings for a Better Storm Keyboard). I have only inadvertantly gone into the camera mode once since making this change.

I have the same problem when texting or emailing and all I do is hit the back button and hit cancel on the save menu.

I have the same problem. It seems to do alot of weird things when the battery gets low...which is almost always! The only way i can get out of the camera mode is by taking the battery out. Even if you hold down the power/end key it does nothing. If it doesnt get better soon I will get verizon to replace it. I do like the phone...as long as its working!
