Lumia 820 - Photos duplicated after being taken.

[Andrea Giallombardo]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with my lumia 820 since the latest update. Everytime I take a photo it gets duplicated in my camera roll folder, sometimes even more than twice (sometimes even reaching 5 over time). When I try to delete just one of the duplicates it deletes all of them all together... As you can imagine its getting quite frustrating, especially when I need to find a photo deep in the folder as i have to scroll through a lot of extra photos that are there for no reason.

I tried deleting them all and replacing them manually through a usb connection but the same thing happened. Is there any fix at all?

I use a 32gb class 4 SD card.

SOLUTION: A hard reset fixed the problem

Did you try to remove sd card? Or restore to default setting/manufacture?

I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with the software rather than the sd card because it started to happen after the latest big update from MS. But I'll try and remove the sd card and put it in again just to see if makes a difference. honestly i'm trying to avoid factory resetting my phone as its highly customised and I do not wish to lose all my data :unhappysweat:

will see for how long ;-)
I prefer to copy all images to external drive, format card and copy images back to the card.

That does not work. I tried that already

 

[eReS]

What exactly does not work for you?
DO you have duplicated images after formatting SD card?

I am getting this problem as well now on my 521. Really annoying. Dont really want to factory reset, but will probably have to.

it does happen with my 820, but only when I use camera360 app :angry:

getting duplicate photos only with Nokia Camera since last update, not with stock on-board camera

Me also a L820 User...
When I use the "NOKIA CAMERA" app I face the duplication problem..
So I started using just the basic "CAMERA" app..
That solved the problem for me..
I am sure its the software bug, no probs with SD card..

Just installed Nokia Camera Beta, no more issues with duplication of photos in Camera Roll - hurray

Link to beta app doesn't show in Store, got to it via Nokia Camera beta updated with UI tweaks | WMPoweruser

A friend of mine had the same problem with a lumia 620 with SD card

Very annoying

the worst thing is that if you delete a repeated photo, both photos dissapear :S

In the nokia camera app it's configure to do bracketing. This is where when you take a photo it actually takes 2, 3 or more, depending on configuration, at different exposure settings. That's why it's doing this. Open the nokia app and click on the settings icon and you'll see bracketing. Was annoying me for ages until I saw this setting.
