anybody else got this problem? when I take a new photo then go to the gallery the thumbnail is nothing like the picture and looks like a mega zoomed in blurred image of some sort, if I open it the correct image loads ok, any fixes? can I delete the thumbnail cache to force it to rebuild them and if so how?
Go to Settings, Applications, All Apps, search the app called media, and then clear it's data, foce cloase it and restart phone. All should be working then.
Thanks,
Rick

the best way is to install SD Maid from Play Store....it has an option to delete all thumbnails in gallery and much more....combine it with Recan Media Root (also from Play Store) to scan and rebuilt back your gallery....
did what was suggested above but it didnt work so I installed a different gallery (im using quickpic) and it worked fine so seems its a problem with quickpic

And if yes, what is the name of the app/service that I have to freeze using Titanium Backuup?
I have a 8 GB SD Card with only about 550 MB free, and the stupid media service creates 500mb worth of thumbnails and cache. It re-creates it each time I delete the cache. I'm currently running MIUI Gingerbread 2.3.4. Back when I was running CyanogenMod 6.xx I used to simply freeze the Gallery app and that used to solve the issue, but I don't see the gallery app listed in Titanium on the MIUI ROM. Freezing the MIUI Gallery app didn't stop the thumbnail cache creation process.
Creating a .nomedia file in the respective folders isn't an option because I need my photographs (I have about 20k worth of family/spouse pics that I always carry around on my phone in addition to wallpapers etc.) to be visible in Quickpic / Fishbowl photo app etc.
Any ideas?

freeeze gallery app and use quickpic, this will save battery too
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22710698#post22710698 on truly disabling the scanner.
Where are those cache files stored so that I can remove them?
If you kill mediascanner, you'll need to go through hell and back for your phone to find newly added media.

Why is that? All my local media is Google Music cache, images that I'd access using QuickPic or videos using MoboPlayer

Hi javagreen
i don't have idea about how to disable media scanning and what will happens in forward but i am going to help you with myown discovered way (maybe1st time mentioned in xda)
go to the folder that your .thumbnails folders exist
rename or delete that, then using {new} create a new file(without any suffix) named the same .thumbnails
as you will see the size is zero and it will prevent your .thumbnailing engine from creating any thumbnails folder
hit the thank if i helped you

Try to do a wipe cache partiton in Recovery Mode then go to advanced and do wype dalvik cache. Then reboot (you won't loose anything)
If not enough : in parameters > Applications > manage applications > Gallery, appshare : delete files and clear cache (you won't loose anything).
And say us if it's better now
Thank You for an answer. I just try all of this that You write about and nothing changed. I dont know is it important but every time I turn on my phone i have a monit 'process android.phone.com force close' twice and there is no signal on my phone but after a minut signal back to normal. Maybe i should just try to format partition in recovery mode?
I had very similar problem that's how I stumbled into this thread. I could solve my headache as I just had to remember that I had disabled "media scanner", therefore no pictures and videos will be loaded to the gallery!
Please make sure that you have not disabled "media scanner"
Does anyone have any problems with the stock gallery thumbnails?
Mine shows each small thumbnail as black and white and split in two, disjointed and then wrapping back round again.
Once I open a picture \ video they load fine but it makes finding pictures hard as you can't tell which is which.
I probably wasn't very clear when writing that. The pictures show what I meant with my gallery... Anyone have any ideas?
try unmounting the SD card in settings, and then restart the phone. That might force the gallery to rescan the SD card for images and refresh the thumbnails.
I would suggest using root explorer to clear the thumbnail cache, but i don;t know where it's stored...
Tried unmounting the sd and also deleting the the thumbnail folder on the sd card. No luck
Someone must have come across this?!
Is there a way I can reinstall the stock app?

I deleted some pics that I had taken with my GT10.1. Although they are no longer viewable, they still appear in my Gallery, in the thumbnail screen. How do I remove they deleted pics permanently? It may get me in trouble one day!
i know, i got this prob some times.
try this: delete all cache files u find at sdcard/android/data/com.android.sec.gallery3d/cache then reopen the gallery app
a good idea is to get a cache cleaner from the market to clear all cache files in one go
Okay, I noticed I had a huge amount of photos and videos, so I copied and pasted the folders under DCIM to my PC.
Today when i went to take new pictures, I hit the gallery icon at the lower right to review one of them, and it takes me to a page that flashes "camera shots" I think at the top real quick, and then ALBUMS with an arrow pointing down.
It used to show my recent pictures here, but now it shows...
"No photos found"
I've rebooted, I've cleared the camera and gallery settings, but this still exists. Pictures I've taken today are in the appropriate folders, the SD card is mounted, and there isn't a nomedia file in the folder. Help?
I hate gallery. It always does stupid junk like that. If you use USB disk transfer, you have to reboot before it recognizes the external SD. Sometimes, you just have to leave it alone for a few minutes and it will fix itself.
Thanks, yeah, it's been a few days, and about 12 reboots.
They show up in gallery, just not when I hit that shortcut icon.
I take that back, they are NOT showing up in the gallery, but they show up in ES File Explorer.
I also tried clearing HTC Sense settings, no good.
I tried wipe data through Titanium Backup, no help.
Anyone?

Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik in recovery?

That did it! Thank you so much, I was really stumped.
I wonder why that worked, and why I didn't think of it?
