Doubles of everything!

If you have the same photos on phone and SD card it will show both. Sometimes you can hide one set if you use an app called QuickPic. This app has a setting to choose folders to hide so I hide most of my system folders and others without real photos in it.

Found this. Apparently it's nothing to worry about.

OK, so why is it that when I put an MP3 file in the Notifications folder on my SD card, it appears TWICE in the list of notification sounds in the sound settings? I have verified that the file is only in the one place (which is duplicated by the 0 and Legacy folders).

Hi all,

I have a similar (possibly same) problem. First appeared when all my photo albums showed up twice in gallery (started after I inserted an external SD card). Not sure if this is the same problem you all have, but here's what mine seems to be... Looking at the duplicate pics, one set is located in /mnt/sdcard and the other is in /storage/sdcard0. But these are actually both the same location (I suspect /mnt/sdcard is a link to the /storage/sdcard0 folder or vice versa). Following either folder leads to the same ultimate directory, confirmed by deleting a file in one location and having it disappear in both. This explains why there are twice as many storage cards (both /mnt and /storage have a folder for each card) and twice as many pictures. Next question... is there a way to hide/eliminate one safely without root access? Hope this helps...

Um, yeah, and? Do you have something NEW to add?

I don't have the answer, but I have a solution — I now paste into the root directory, and move it later internally. The interminable wait for the transfer no longer happens. Only the silly question, "This file may not work — still want to paste?"

It is a problem 0 and legacy, Astro nor ES File Explorer show them on mine, only Bluetooth File Transfer. I know it's a problem because it used up all my memory. Not all delete everywhere either as I renamed my voice recorder default folder (done this on all my other phones w/out this no problem) now those directories dont show up in any file managers except BT which is too slow to copy. Been trying to back up my apps and data so I can root this phone (or throw it in the trash) lollipop sucks. (Sold us suckers on it, they must be laughing at us how they named it lollipop,
