Hi all. I've been having a problem with my iPhone for the last couple weeks. I take a photo, it shows up in the little preview. But when I go to the camera roll it doesn't save.
It shows the latest photo as one I took a few weeks ago.
I'm running the latest beta.

Any ideas?

Did you try renaming or deleting that folder in DCIM? That would cause the iOS to recreate it and the newly created folder should correct the issue.

Have you tried 3rd party camera apps like Camera+?
Do they have the same issue?

Yeah, same issue, i cannot save to the camera reel after i have taken a photo.
I am going to reset the phone today and try again.
What sort of rest should i do?

Fixed

I did a bit more hunting and I used Phone Exporer to take a d=look in the DCIM folder.

Deleted the file named 999APPLE and everything is working again.

Not sure why, but I am guessing it though I had reached the max number of images for some reason.

I just wanted to chime in and confirm that I used the same method to fix my camera not saving photos after doing the 5.1.1 Jailbreak.

Deleted the 100APPLE folder and without even needing to respring the springboard I'm able to take and save photos and screenshots again.

There must be any setting is missing. Or might be it is due to low space.
