I've got nothing. :p:p

No idea..

Your external.db also has all files listed just like mine.. but I don't get, how it got to 38MB.. which part of it is occupying space ?

And whenever I open gallery/camera app, A huge thumbnail file(single file ) builds up named .thumbnail_12365.db in dcim...which just took up 500MB of my /sdcard...no more space on /sdcard after that.

I delete it... again a huge thumbnails file builds up..filling /sdcard and eating my already fast draining battery.

What's your /sdcard size and how many files do you have (appRox)?

Delete the external.db file from cloud(I don't think it's too safe..it contains a lot of privacy sensitive data,if you're concerned about privacy that is.. or protect it with a password)

Deleted it, if you need it again, or if you need something else, do tell. My sd is class 4(rubish I know, but for now......... this will do), some unknown manufacturer, 2gb, 512mb ext2. It has 3-4 mp3's about 50 apk's (not installed, just lazy to remove them), around 30 pics(mixed from camera and downloaded from somewhere), some docs, and a lot of rubbish, like themes for miui, and stuff like that, I'm just too lazy to format it, fat partition has 387mb free. About the thumbnail file, i don't have such an issue, I have no ideas. If you want some file or something, anything, do tell, I'm a noob but I like helping people, so if it's something simple I can check it out, if it's not simple, and there is nobody else that can help you, you will have to explain it, how and what should I do, or give a link from where I can read it(I'm not afraid of reading).

Off: About the battery of cm 10, I still don't have some consistent data, but it looks great, today I have only 1h 11m screen time and battery is at 80%, no background services tryed to kill it, cos it is 10h 17m, from when I charged it, so that's for now.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Thanks man..

I'm in the process of taking logs when the increase in size of database comes in...both are related.. the one in /sdcard and the one in /com. Android. Providers. Media... I'll keep informed about the progress and keep me informed about mini cm10.

If you're experiencing similar problems with Android media server draining your battery/making big files/or if you just wanna help, please vote for the above mentioned issue.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Hi.. I've checked the logs, but the media server doesn't seem to make a lot of logs.. so I can't figure out as of yet.

My interpretation:

The mediaserver from honeycomb to jelly beans is supposed to scan every file in every system

This includes /data /system /.../dev /sdcard.

Every file not just media file.. this is implemented to help MTP(I am not familiar with this ...media transfer protocol?USB ).And every file is put in the database i.e.,external.db with all it's size data etc..

Major problem is it does this a lot of time @ boot and @ fixed intervals.

This is a major cause of battery drain on my phone.. since I have a 32GB /sdcard and more than 10000+ small files.. scanning every one of those files regardless of

.nomedia was implemented from ics, I suppose.

As far as I problem is considered,

I think it's a corrupt file somewhere..

CORRUPT NOT ACCORDING TO CORRUPT DATA BUT ACCORDING TO MEDIA SCANNER ONLY...meaning if it cannot read a specific file(due to special characters/other languages in it's tag or name),it just gets struck and repeats the whole darn process until it fills up /data or /sdcard. REALLY STUPID.

Now to the question in hand,

How do we find this stupid file?

Not sure.. I don't have a clue

But someone in the above mentioned code. Google

Mentioned this

lsof | grep mediaserv

Now this returns

A lot of??? In /dev in my device

Does this mean kernel is corrupted?

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
lsof stands for list of files..

Very useful to know,at the moment which file is handled by which..

For example the above mentioned code gives a hint, what are all the files opened by media server at that time.

lsof | grep 2360

Gives what are the files handled by pid 2360

lsof | grep storage/sdcard0/DCIM

gives all the process that is handling the files in DCIM folder.

Can you please tell me the file size of .thumbnails~12356 present in /sdcard/dcim/thumbnails? (hidden folder )

Have you ever used cm10 beta2/beta1 or any other previous versions?

If you have, are there separate camera and gallery apps?

If you have separate apps in previous versions, can you upload them for me,when you're free? Thanks.

cm10 htc a310e k2.6 w /smooth of butter
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
For information,

Some information regarding big file in sdcard

1. The big file location is /sdcard /dcim/thumbnails /.thumbnail12345

2.The last command shows that the file "thumbnails ~12354" is handled by gallery and download manager(connected with media storage, downloads and drm storage)

3.The gallery app handles both the file in /thumbnails (dcim folder)

And /Android/data /com. Gallery3d /cache /img0,img 1 and .idx

4.Deleting the gallery app(camera included) is fixing the big file (/sdcard /dcim/thumbnails/.thumbnail12d65m)

5.Opening gallery doesn't make that file

6.Opening camera does create that fîle

Thanks for reading.

If someone has fixed this issue even after years this thread is created, please do tell /explain me

Thanks

Now this .thumbnails folder, you maybe up to something in here, that's 43.86mb, when I open the folder there are two files in there, one is some jpg, another one is called ".thumbdata3--1967290299" obviously that's 43.83mb, if you have some experiments in mind do tell I'll try them tomorow at the office. And I didn't get you about the app's uploads, but anyway I've never used exactly cm10, used jb miui for a while, then aokp rc3 and now mini cm10, all they are made from cm10 b2 as a base(except mini, think this was b3).

You are posting great info in here, NICE ;) . I don't know why this thread don't have more answers, maybe the title looks scary :D ,or maybe this is interesting only for me and you, but doesn't matter, I'll try my best to help and learn something new.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Thanks for replying bro. Most of my posts... well all of my posts, never get a reply except this one and it's only you..

so thanks a lot .

43.68MB on a 1.5GB card? Doesn't it bother you? I hate that file. I have it raise to 700MB +(no more space on /sdcard)

Now that is my problem.

Anyway what I'm talking about camera apps is

Since jelly, gallery and camera are mixed into single app(com.Android.gallery3d ).

But dev during the first betas or so, I assume that they weren't able to combine into a single app ,so I assume they were separate apps (named camera and gallery separately(could be different com. Names but two apps)).

So, if you have zips, can you get into system /apps and see whether there are two apps /single apps in old beta2s

If you don't have zips, don't bother, I'll download and try.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
I've uploaded the files, in minicm10 and xperia mini cm10 there was only one(or at least I didn't see more, but I tryed and looked hard, so I think there is only one.)

The 2 files are from aokp rc3, that's the best I can do now, if you wan't I'll download beta 2 and 3 later and will upload you there's .apk's, cos in a previous page you sayed that your speed is really slow, mine is not, so it won't be a problem, just do tell, and tell if wan't some specific zip to be downloaded, because from what I remember, there were a lot of b3's

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B5uKAxW9j6ezN1dSNnVUeGo5Sm8/edit?usp=sharing here are the files.

But there is something else that I remember in aokp rc3 I believe there was 2 camera icons, maybe....... Hope this helps.

About the file size from a 1.5g card, I don't care, there is much bigger folder with miui themes, that I'm so lazy to remove, this 43 mb is nothing.

The camera and gallery separation didn't work either. I was testing it for quite a while. I could say that the size was quite reduced,then again, I may be wrong.

However really thanks to everyone who viewed this thread and thanks a lot to shortYoko. Your help was really appreciated. If however, someone did find a way to cut the problem at root, please do post it here,even after years after this post was written .

Hey guys, okay?

I am Brazilian and my English may not be the best, but come on ... (with Google Translator, lol)

I have the same problem. I realized that the reason for scanning the entire contents of the card is to display the files when connect the phone to the computer using the storage mode MTP.

My SDCARD has 64Gb. I have faced this problem for generations of android.

I'm trying solutions. If I find out, I will tell to you.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Reviving a dead thread eh?

64 GB?, guess you must be suffering more than me. .

Well, alright, post if you find a thing..As, I already said, completely disabling media scanner receiver will help the external.db size.[This would mean you would never be able to use play music, stock music app and all those music apps, that depend on that database].Seems stupid enough- mtp is totally disabled in our roms, yet we have to suffer. :'(. And as far as the thumbnails.db is concerned, using a third party camera app and never opening the stock camera may help. Obviously, the above aren't solutions, but work arounds. ..if you find a solution or a better workaround, keep us informed :):):) :thumbsup: :fingers-crossed:

[Windows 8 General] HTCalltheway:
Hi, I have a Hitachi Touro Pro mobile 750GB USB 3.0 external HDD and after upgrading to win 8 the drive is no longer accessible. :(

It still works on Win 7, but when I plug it in on Win 8 it takes 3-5 min to show up in my computers and once you click on the drive file explorer hangs until you unplug the drive..

Anyone have a fix for this problem? it's very inconvenient for me to switch between Win 8 and Win 7...

thanks in advance! :)
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Sounds like one of those weird drives that aren't actually USB Mass Storage but instead have some (typically both buggy and worthless) extra layer over them to do things like make it easy to back stuff up (as though Windows hasn't had backup capability built in for ages) or something equally value-added (for very loose values of "value"). Check if there's a way to connect it via USB Mass Storage instead; I know on my PC external drives work fine.

Also, try over USB2 instead of USB3, just to see if it behaves differently. I don't think Win7 even had built-in support for USB3; you would have had to install a driver. It might be expecting that driver somehow...
[Windows 8 General] HTCalltheway:
Thanks for your reply.

I actually tried that drive everywhere... ThinkPad X230T, T61, Surface RT and even my friend's HP... the behavior is exactly the same on USB 2 or 3.. When I connect the drive it shows up in Device Manager as a "Hitachi Touro Mobile Pro SCSI Disk Device". I have no idea what SCSI Disk Device means... :S I bought the drive in April 2012.

I know this drive has some smart features build it, like sleep mode (drive stops spinning after no activity for a while), host detection (doesn't spin if there's power but no communication) and safe eject (stops spinning after receiving USB ejection signal).
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
SCSI is an old (really old) interface for disk drives. It still sees some use in servers, but that's about it. Not sure why your external USB HDD would present itself as SCSI...

All those "smart features" are exactly the kind of stuff I was talking about: useless crap that makes the drive require a custom driver even though the OS already does every single one of those with the *possible* exception of the host detection (which shouldn't require anything special).
[Windows 8 General] goofball2k:
What if you copy the data off the drive, then use Win8 to repartition/format the drive (disk management)?

The reason it shows SCSI is that for the controller being used in the external case is presenting itself as such. Most HDD controllers that aren't integrated into the chipset (and even some that do) will always be detected as SCSI controllers, it's an old-school way of how Windows sees controllers. If it's not built-in, it must be SCSI. Odd but that's how it was many many years ago.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
I've a Hitachi Touro (not Pro, 2012 model) 1TB drive, which shows up in Win8 as "HitachiG ST USB Device". Driver used is standard Microsoft driver dated 2006.

Your Touro Mobile Pro is a Hitachi Travelstar 7K750 drive (SATA 2 3Gb/s, 7200rpm). Specs and performance below,

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/notebook-hard-drive-review,3270-2.html

My guess is that Win8 upgrade is the problem, as you likely didn't do a clean install. Suggest

. plug drive in and wait for it to be recognized,

. go into Device Manager, click on Disk Drives, right-click on the Touro entry, select Uninstall

. unplug drive, wait for a few seconds, then replug drive

If this doesn't work, you may need to do a clean re-install of Win8. A workaround is to remove the drive from the USB enclosure and use it as a standard SATA 2.0 drive.

When there is adequate lighting and the display is off, it is very easy to the see the circuit-like component just under the glass. This is not true for the other phone.
