Repeated pictures in camera roll

[SergikUK]

Hi everyone,
I have encountered a weird thing on my Lumia 820. For some reason all my pictures in camera roll duplicate multiple times. If you delete one, then all copies of this picture disappear. Auto save to Skydrive is turned off and pictures are stored on SD card. Has anyone else noticed this bug?

Yep, haven't found a way to solve this yet. It seems to be pretty random too, I can pinpoint exactly when it started and ended, but I can't remember doing something special that might trigger this...

Thanks, I thought I had done something wrong.

Nothing specific to 820, I have noticed this in my 810 as well and found that I could fix with reset only.

Do you mean hard reset or just normal one?

Settings > About > Reset

Fixed it by hard reset. backup your phone then settings>about phone>reset my phone. Then restore your phone when it gives you the option. Also get rid of that SD card. 32gb on up will not work properly, and I'm assuming you bought it as a good deal off ebay? Only buy micro SD cards from your carrier store.

I have this problem as well. It happened once a while usually when my phone hangs when taking pictures.

I have this issue also on a nokia lumia 521 with windows 8.
When I plug the phone into my computer, I only see 1 copy of each picture, so this is likely just a windows 8 issue.
These pictures are really not duplicated!

I don't know what exactly solved this annoying bug, but here some steps that work for me:

1. Disable Skydrive upload for a while (1 or 2 weeks) and clean your folder on Skydrive service .
2. Uninstall any automatic sync (Windows Phone App for Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 App - both for Windows PC)
3. Don't delete any photo on Windows (PC), only in smartphone. EVER. Use your smartphone default app.

For music, this steps solved for me too:

1. Delete every song in your Windows Phone using Music+Video app (default app), not in PC. Or just make a factory reset. Format SD card is irrelevant. You need to erase temp files on smartphone, so factory reset or delete manually your songs, one by one.
2. Disable Xbox Music online service before copy or sync any song (only if you don't have a Amber update)
3. If u copy entire albuns, use Media Monkey for tag your songs correctly (Artist and Artist Album need to be filled).
4. ALWAYS delete any music file on your smartphone, not on PC. ALWAYS. Use Music+Video for this.

I hope you guys have the same luck as me!
