what the hell is this file (.thmbdata3) in sd card>dcim>thumbnails.each time i free some space on my sd card ,this file getting bigger and take all the space (sd card becomes full).i dont have that much photos on gallary,so what is the problem???
gt i9000
ics4.0.4dark knight rom 5.5
i added a screenshot to see in attachment
it looks like nobody knows what am i talking about .....i think im going to flash a new rom again
i also have 2 .thumbdata files of 200 MB each in my /DCIM/.thumbnail folder
maybe it`s a bug since i only have few pictures in my phone
Think thats bad!
Think that's bad. I have two thumbdata's both at 2gb each!
My partners Xperia S still had all her old thumbnails in her album even though she has deleted most of her pictures. So I googled how to remove them, the best solution I've found is go into settings, apps, all, media storage and erase the data. When I try to test it on mine the data is only a few mb. No where near 4gb!
Still I'll let you know if I find out.
its like an temp folder on windows,android makes an virtual protokoll from files and something,you can delete these file but its come back ever,i delete these file every day,because im addicted to flash,lol and i haved never problems.so delete it,its safe(my opinion).greeeeeetz
the best solution i found my self is: delete the big file thumbsdata and then never run the stock camera app,if you run it ,the file will be generated again consuming all your free space(me becomes 0 bites free :crying.......of coarse i cannot live without a camera app so i installed fx camera app.... it is good now but if i turn fx cam to video mod the problem comes again(it uses the stock camera app for video ,but not for photos),,,,,so i will not use video record option, until some hero comes with a fix
Yeah! That's it!

Just copy names of that files (thumbdataX--x), delete that files and other files in folder, then create folders named the same as deleted thumdatas. Reboot device. No annoying thumbdata3 (my spend 2Gb) anymore! And look in folders named LOST.DIR (you can find it in the root directory of your internal memory and your SDcard) - huge temporary files may be left in these folders, so delete these files.
Tested on Toshiba Thrive Tablet (ICS). No problems with gallery and camera apps.

Solution works!
In my opinion that file was related with pic preview directly from camera app, when you click on little thumbnail.
When I deleted it, camera stopped working and that thumbnail was blank until file was recreated, then it worked again (with 2GB pictures and a 2.74GB .thumbdata!)
Now creating the folder with the same name of file stopped that huge file from recreating himself.
I think camera now refers directly to thumbnail files (in thumbnails folder) for preview. Or, if not, that's the same because now I have 2.74GB more on my internal SD!
Yes this is a camer app problem(or bad feature:banghead: ) it takes space more than the photos itself....anyway this is the only way right now to fix it.

Use astro file manager. You are able to create a new directory (folder) and can move all of your pictures into it.
2nd option... Use za computa!

camera will place it in the default folder.... however, if you download a file manager and create a new folder on the sd card you should be able to move the files from one folder to another and then in the Gallery app it will appear as a separate folder or "gallery". Thats how I have been doing it on my android phones for awhile.
Hope that helps.

This. Or go into settings-storage then select unmount sd card and then select mount sd card... That is usually what I do.
did both but still a no go...in astro. where exactly am i supposed to add the folder?
Press the menu button when you are on astro. You should see "create directory". I created a folder called media and placed it in the root of the SD card, then I created sub folders within the folder and placed my videos and pictures in there. Everything worked.
There are a lot of file managers out there.
I've always used AndroZip - they have a free and paid version - and still think it's easier than Astro.
I'm sure it's only because I'm used to it, but it's more "Windowsy" - long press to "right click" and you have a paste button that pops up when something is cut or copied.
The multi-select is easier (imo) than Astro's as well.
Not that downloading a billion different file managers will help, but if you're having trouble...
The only place you CANNOT make the folder...
Is inside ANY folder that has a hidden file in it called .nomedia
If you make a new folder in the root of the SD card, you should be fine. You'll still have to force the Gallery to udpate in order to see them though. Fail safe - power down completely, power back up (probably need to disable fastboot first to be 100% sure, but it should reload the SD card at boot either way).

Hello there,
It's my first topic here as I am a new member.
I got two problems with my x10mini.
First of all I am running cm7(2.3.4) with custom kernel.
The first problem is that the phone can read the sd
card but the photo gallery and the music player are empty. I mean that the phone can't read/show the media of the SD card,if I want to watch a photo I have to open it with file manager.
Why?
Ps:i had this problem before the Cm7 installing.
The second problem is that the screen doesn't turn when I am turning the phone left or right or upside down.
It's stucked at one position.
Ps: I have checked the automatic turning at the options and the 90,180,270 degrees except the 0 degrees at the options.
I am waiting for your help,
Thanks a lot :-D

for pictures, open the folder and look for ".nomedia" files delete them in each folder if there is some
for screen rotation, which rom & kernel do you use? ("official" CM rom?)

Use any file explorer or Windows Explorer and search for .nomedia.
If you find any file with this name, delete it.
I used ES scanner application and I can't find a .nomedia file in my SD card.
Should I try to scan the SD card from my computer or it's the same ?

any folder containing media files will be indexed in gallery, with only one execption: if there is a .nomedia file in the folder, that's why if you find one you need to delete it
you can try to use an alternative app (like quickpic) to see if it is the same or not
the most efficient way is surely a factory reset performed twice
In linux, files or folders starting in dot (.) are hidden, check for a "show hidden files" in your explorer, or use windows
During the weekend, and I tried to order the space in my SD card erase some duplicate files, and create folders inside PICTURES folder in the Sd. I created sub folder named Photos which obviously included all the pictures storage and from camera. I opened two screen in myWin7 pc to easily move the files. Surprised for me the sub folder PHOTOS destapar without any notice. For a while I think could be move to another folder but I revised one by one and nothing happen. I revised Recicle Folder and it's empty.

I have an issue with the size of the thumbdata3 file in DCIM/.thumbnails on internal memory (camera is set to store to ext SD) at the moment it is 314MB on internal memory but the thumbdata3 file in the DCIM/.thumbnail folder on ext SD is less than 1MB (I only have around 100 photos and pictures on my phone) - but camera still works (other than in the scenario described below)
If I delete the large thumbdata3 file from internal memory and then attempt to use the camera, the photo is taken without any problem but when I try to view it in either gallery or QuickPic by clicking through from the 'last image taken thumbnail' in the camera and then click back to carry on taking another picture the camera FC's. It usually does this twice and is then absolutely fine - apart from the fact that the large thumbdata3 file has been recreated on internal storage.
I've tried it numerous times and every time the same results - delete thumbdata3 from internal memory, couple of camera FC's, large thumbdata3 file recreated, no more problems (bar the loss of 314MB of storage)
I've tried replacing the thumbdata3 file on internal memory with a copy of the smaller one from Ext SD, creating a blank thumbdata3 file and setting it as read only/no write permission and neither have helped.
Its a bit weird and annoying but I won't let it take the shine off my fun with CM9, however it would be nice to recover that large chunk of storage space to be put to better use.
All the same, many thanks Arco - Beta 1 is my first CM9 install and its great :good:[/QUOTE]
Hi - haven't full troubleshooted this issue yet, but see my notes here. I have the same issue (GNEX JB 4.1.1 stock) and for me it is caused by the app KeepSafe which hides/unhides pics/videos on your phone. Note I believe this is an interaction issue between this app and the media scanning functionality in JB (and I suspect ICS), and so there are likely other apps that have the same issue. For me it creates 1 or 2 .thumbdata3 db files each around 1.3GB.
Certainly, irrespective of app causing it, you can follow the steps to purge Gallery and Media Storage, resync your gmail account and they should disappear on their own. Opening the camera and taking a photo causes the db to come back at around 400MB with a single thumbnail - one of the test files I was hiding and unhiding with KeepSafe but has since been deleted. Can't really explain this behaviour!
Any way, I made some notes on what I tested, the results and some ponderings in case this helps someone work it out:
Thumbdata3
Hiding in keep safe seems to create both the thumbnails and thumbdata file.
Clearing data/cache for gallery and media storage removes all these files? So far doesn't seem to be the case. File and db still there after. Rerunning the media scanner now. Perhaps they caused it? Also forced resync of all items in gmail account. Thumbs and db now gone. Not clear if it was the media scanning completing or the re-sync, but steps to resolve issue now appear deterministic.
Tested with single pic. Restored. No thumbs. Re-hid, thumbnail appeared for this pic and a 435MB db file.
All thumbs were for pics hidden in keep safe. However previously there were far more thumbs. Speculate - cumulative issue thru successive hide/restore cycles, possibly due to file name collision avoidance.
Deleting pic in file explorer also causes the problem? Does not appear to be the case. Gallery/Media Scanner/Media Storage handles this manual intervention far better under ICS/JB. Previously, manually removing a picture rather than deleting it thru Gallery tended to mean the tile/thumb remained. Scanner didn't or didn't very effectively detect this. Probable algorithm change in ICS. Now it sees the deletion immediately. Possibly implicated in keep safe not correctly interacting with the gallery/media scanner properly under ICS/JB.
That solution helped mine Thrive Tablet (ICS ROM) get rid of thumbdata3 file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35259164&postcount=7

It seems a problem with android 4+ I made a goo.gle link but haven't posted much here yet oQSfA is the extension of the url. If I am erroneously posting this, I am sorry. I have the same issue. If anyone can post a clickable link it might get stars quicker. It might be fixed in jelly bean, but I don't know.
Issue 39546: Files under DCIM/.thumbnails are eating away at SD card storage
have since done factory restore with formatting the stock SD. File is there, much smaller though 197 KB. No pictures to thumbnail, so it isn't necessarily solved. I did switch out cards (old 16GB to stock 4GB) before format and delete the .thumbnail file but that was recreated even with no pictures. I figured it may be my picasa account, but have since opened gallery. After letting more (from Picasa) picture and folder thumbnails appear than ever before my file is still small
.:banghead:
it still has not grown giant. I didn't disable any of TMobile bloat like I did initially, and have the blank SD. In the process of reinstalling apps reopening gallery and checking space with storage analyzer.
I still don't like not being able to choose internal USB or external storage SD. Most apps "moved to SD card" just move to USB storage. Interestingly tapatalk appeared to move to the real external SD card as did a few others.
I doubt this will be fixed on ICS. I can hope though. It seems like the app itself needs to use the external SD directory, but the stock gallery might never be updated.
Samsung galaxy blaze 4G with stock ICS 4.0.4. All the extra TMobile apps are a pre-installed, but not updated.
I don't claim to be knowledgeable enough to know what I don't know. I always reserve the right to be wrong.

Hi, i'm having a similar problem with my galaxy s3, i9300, 4.1.2 rooted.
within astro file manager i have 2 files inside storage/sdcard0/DCIM/.thumbnails folder which are taking up 6.5gb of phone storage space.
No idea why they are so big.
.thumbdata3--1967290299 (file size 4.29gb)
.thumbdata3-1763508120 (file size 2.26gb)
People have suggested deleting these files, however having only had the phone for 3 weeks, i'm reluctant to start deleting files i know nothing about.
So i want to back them up before i delete, but the file is not visibale when connected to pc, so cannot back them up.
Apparently with the galaxy s3 they have removed the ability to plug it into pc as a mass storage device, so the folder .thumbnails is unaccessable.
Can someone please tell me why these 2 files have got so big and how do i access the folder .thumbnails via pc.
I also so have a related question,
in astro file manager i have a folder called storage/sdcard0/.aptoide/apks, which is taking up 1.5gb.
I'm assuming they are the apk files for everything i've downloaded off aptoide, are these files still needed or are they ok to delete, like other apks can be deleted once installed.
Anyones help on these issues would be great, but i've only had an android phone for 3 weeks so be gentle with me.lol.
I'm an ex nokia symbian owner and must say symbian really sucks the big one compared to android, (sorry nokia, but true).

You can delete multiple pictures at once in gallery. On the page that has the index of all pictures in a folder, pick More, then Delete. You can then select as many pictures as you want to delete.
Or take your sd card out and use a computer.
