Permanent Fix to camera zoom not working.....??!!

Hi
This is the 3rd time my camera won't zoom on my bb curve 8520.
I know it can be temporarily fixed by a battery reset.
However, this is really frustrating to keep doing.....
Is there a more permanent solution ?
Thanks.

Hello,
"Fixes" for things like that would normally involve updating your BB OS (unless, of course, it is some other conflict...I have been investigating a camera problem that is caused by a completely unrelated app). I suggest you use this procedure to do so:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
While written for "reload", it can be upsed to upgrade, downgrade, or reload your OS -- it all depends on what OS package you download and install to your PC. Further, you can use other carriers OS packages via this method by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML.
Good luck!

Thanks for the pointer on the wired Mic, in all my efforts to make the application work with bluetooth, I completely forgot about the most obvious solution.
Can't see the forest for the trees.
As for writing in Caps, I have to admit I never really paid much attention to caps or no caps. I simply typed and if I hit the lock button I continued on.
Your observation and willingness to share your observation with me is greatly appreciated. I honestly didn't know the implication or perception of typing in all Caps. It is not nor was it my intention to shout. Sorry.
Again, thanks for taking the time to help

Hi marincastil,
Here's a document with troubleshooting steps for Webcams and Windows 8. Please let me know if it helps resolves your issue. The fact it works with all these other services has me stumped.

I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week.
Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)

With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.

Hello SajidChaudhary,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Yes part of Apple Store
You will get a service replacement ,maybe new maybe refurbed to new standard
but in a "brown box" so no bits and pieces just unit for unit exchange
They will know of iPhone history from their systems but always
worth having proof of ownership but not essential (as far as I know )
