Hi and Welcome to the Community!
To attempt to narrow down if it's software or hardware, a clean reload might be needed. Start first with a complete backup via LINK as well as full manual documentation of your desired settings, accounts, configurations, add-on apps, etc.
First, start with trying a reload via LINK:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-Smartphone/How-to-Reload-your-Blackberry10-OS/t...
If that fails, then try a reload via AutoLoader and this process:
On device WIPE
AutoLoader
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
On device WIPE
Restore from backup
If that still fails, then re-do it, but in step 4 restore settings only. If it still fails, then do it yet again, but this time do not restore anything -- instead, use your documentation (created earlier) to manually reconfigure everything.
Please be sure you are using the most recent version of the BB10 OS - 10.2.1.3253. Also note that if all fails, then you may well indeed have a hardware issue, for which no amount of OS or software can be of use. Rather, you need formal support. For warranty, you seek that from the original place of purchase, where your Uncle bought it...as the original purchaser, he may well have to do that. If you have no warranty, then seek a local (to you) shop with a BB technician and have them provide you a proper evaluation and estimate.
Good luck and let us know!

The camera can"t be started.

I unfortunatly bougth Blackberry Q5 last day, and just after buying it the power switch/buttom isnt working. Till now i wasn"t able too restart the device.
And just now with in 18 hours i got new error the camera can't be started.
Is this poor quality and OS being made by the Blackberry which doesnt satisfy the customer for the single day, and i just read one post under which a person having the same camera trouble and reply given to him was to re-install the complete OS WTF, we are here to buy the new smart phone or to keep its software updating due to your poor services and OS / hardware.
Totaly dis-satisfied isn't going to recomend phone to anyone.
I have done the fullish thing to buy Q5 instead of purchasing Android or I-phone available in the market.

Can you not take it back to your seller and get a replacement or switch?
If you've been helped click on , if you've been saved buy the app.

BB Classic, camera can't be started

Hi Guys,
Before I send my classic RMA a quick check;
I've been using the classic for two monhts now and took may pictures already, but suddenly the camera app starts with error: The camera can't be started.
I've rebooted the device, performed a secureity wipe and recoverd the software via BB Link.
Has anyone experienced the same issue, or a suggestion I could try before sending the device RMA?
Thank you

Any further ideas? or should I just send the device RMA again? (this is my 3th classic )
You could have restored the problem.
Are you running any loaded Android apps, from the Amazon store or Snap?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB35371 After updating the device software from version 10.1 to version 10.2.0 on the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone, "Camera cannot be initiated" error message is displayed when opening the Camera app
Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
Good luck and let us know!

Q5 10.2.0.429 camera can't be started message

I just have my Q5 for 3 weeks now.
Camera worked at first, since about 1,5 week a pop-up on the Q5 showed there was a software update which I installed: 10.2.0.429
It seems like after that update the camera stopped working: "camera cannot start" message
I did a backup and factory reset, but no result; same issue.
Any help is appreciated.

My first phone was defective and I did not hesitate to return it for a replacement 5 days later. The replacement has been issue free for 7 months. Yes love the interface but not the problem phone, it is only material. I do not know about where you live but where I live we have 30 days to return the phone for replacement or full refund. After that the next 11 months falls under the repair part of the warranty.
If you wish you may reload the software to see if it corrects your issue: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?externalId=KB34045&sliceId=2&cmd=displayKC&d...
Since your phone has problems you might not be able to connect to Link, so since your phone is new and you might not have a lot of data installed you can Reset to Factory Settings this way.
To restore your phone: tap the Settings App, scroll down and tap Security and Privacy, tap Security Wipe, tap the blank box and enter blackberry.

Q5: CAMERA CAN'T BE STARTED

Sir, Madam,
I bought my Q5 from lulu hypermarket qatar on feb 2014. the camera was working perfect for 1 week, then suddenly i found it like i cant open my camera. It starts telling like camera cant be started. But due to some severe personal issues i was not able to take mob to a service center until now. But now as i am in India, i want to make my blackberry perfect. Even i have submitted my issue to blackberry already with the help of virtual expert. There also camera function was failure. So as I have 1 yr warranty for the product, i think i still can manage to get this problem rectified from you. Its finding difficult for me even to find an authorised service centre of blackberry in Kerala, India. Hope to see a reply from you suiting your world wide name.
Thank you

Hi
Please dont listen to all the other comments on web about wiping device and reloading software etc etc. Its not a hardware fault either so dont send back. SIMPLY download TASK MANAGER from BB World (free app) and this works in the same way on a PC. you will then see the APPs that are loaded on your device without you knowing and running in the background.
Simply Kill one app at a time until the camera works. you wont need to reboot simply do as above and the problem will be fixed in 5 minutes
Good Luck
Jamesey

HELP! Camera can't be started!

I bought my BB last June 5, 2014 and the camera stopped working days after i updated it with the latest OS.
It's an STL100-1. How can i bring my camera app working again? Can somebody please help

Well, the news isn't so great. This does happen sometimes and nobody knows why. However, there is no solution that I'm aware of. I would say contact your carrier for warranty exchange but you're just a few weeks over the one-year warranty unless you're in a country where it's two years. Contact your carrier for warranty information. Sorry, wish I had better news.

Can't "join" started hello conversation without camera on firefox

Hello there
So as title says I can't join a conversation I started with Hello app. I can create the room, share the link and I receive a notification that my other partner connected, but we can't hear\see each other. We both have FF36. Also on his side when he joins the room, he can see a text in the middle saying "you are the first to join the room". Weird thing is that I can absolutely join other people room, and it works correctly!
The thing I think I noticed is that people with a camera can start and " host" properly a call. Another guy i know with my same setup (no camera and only mic on a desktop pc) has my exact same issue, can't host but can join other people rooms with a camera. Unfortunately we tested only with people that use laptops with integrated camera, so I don't have other people with my setup that can try and test if what i say is true.
I don't know if I was clear enough on this, tell me if you need more info. We all had Windows machine, with win 7\8 no issue on that, different networks, ecc... only thing I noticed is that they all have a camera, me and the other guy don't.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
PS is there any eta for Hello on Firefox for android? As of now I can join but I can't find a way to start a conversation!

there are various programs like https://manycam.com that install an (additional) virtual camera driver on your pc to apply some after effects and so forth - you could try if this is enough to trick firefox hello. i haven't tried that so far ;-)

The 'Swipe to Camera app icon' function is not working. I swipe across but the camera app doesn't start up at all. Does anyone else have this problem? Can it be fixed?

You don't swipe but actually press, hold and push up.

Is there a way to open Adobe Camera Raw without Photoshop starting?

Is there a way to start up Adobe Camera Raw without Photoshop starting? I think in the past it started without Photoshop starting; or did it?

If you select the image in Adobe Bridge you can choose File > Open in Camera Raw. Adobe Camera Raw will open the image using Bridge as the host application and you won't have to start Photoshop. There's no way to open Camera Raw without a host application.
If you can't find Adobe Bridge on your computer and you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, Bridge is one of the programs you can install using the Creative Cloud application.

Hard drive failure (why can't I start up with boot disk)?

Running OS 10.4.6. I was getting flashing question mark at startup. Tried starting with Disk Warrior holding down "C" key. Got Apple logo, but then screen frooze with horizontal lines across screen.
Rebooted, held mouse to eject disk. Tried TechTool Pro disk. Would not boot from that either (got circle with slash logo I think).
Finally was able to boot with Tiger install disk.
Ran disk utility from Tiger disk. My internal hard drive showed up in red letters and said "failing"
OK.....I can understand that.....I guess my hard drive crashed (on my 2 year old Powerbook...oh well)
But, why can't I start up with any of my boot disks (Disk Warrior, TechTool) only the Tiger install disk. Also the Panther and Jaguar disks will NOT start it...only the Tiger disk works. One more thing I'm wondering....I connected my external firewire drive that has a boot partition on it that I have started up with in the past....and it won't boot my laptop either.
Any ideas? Thanks for any insight. Guess I'll head to the genius bar tomorrow. At least my extended warranty is still good (I think).
Powerbook G4 17 1.5 ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Here is what the outcome was:
I took my Powerbook into Apple Genius bar (still under 3 yr. AppleCare), he determined that my hard drive had crashed. He shipped it for me to be repaired.
It came back with a message attached saying that the source of the problem was my 3rd party RAM, which was a 1 GB module. The note said that the memory had been removed...and that in some cases like this the removed memory will be sent back to the customer and will be in the box somewhere. I checked and it wasn't there. The "Get Info" for my system said I was now running on 512 mb instead of the usual 1.5 GB. The note said that this 3rd party RAM had caused the hard drive to fail, so the hard drive had been replaced.
I ordered a new 1GB RAM module from Apple for $300, didn't want to take a chance on 3rd party again. But....when it arrived, I went to install it....and my 1GB 3rd party module was in the slot....it just wasn't pushed all the way in I guess. I pushed it in firmly, closed up the computer, started it, and the "Info" read 1.5 GB again. I ended up removing the 512mb module and replacing that with the new 1GB one I bought from Apple. So now I have 2GB of memory and and extra 512 that I can't use. It has been running fine ever since (more than 2 months)
Can bad RAM really make a hard drive go bad?
I wonder why they said they had removed the RAM, but it actually had not been removed (at least not completely)
