I have recently done a factory reset and ever since .nomedia files keep getting added to all of the folders on my internal memory about once a day. I have a sd card but have nothing on it. I haven't added any new apps that I wasn't using before the factory reset. Has anyone else had this happen? I use ES File manager to delete them and my media then shows up like it should but its becoming very aggravating and I need help trying to track down the culprit.
This is still happening at least once a day. It is adding 312 .nomedia files. I am not sure what is causing it to happen. I have been checking my gallery using qicpic after each time I use an app and nothing but then after a while of not using the phone they get added to every folder ans sub-folder in my internal memory. Someone please tell me I'm not going crazy!

I've noticed an issue since I've upgraded to ICS. That every single mp3 on my SD is duplicated when my phone boots. This doesn't happen to mp3s stored on my phone.
Is there a way to get the phone to manually rescan the SD card?
I had this problem too and wound up switching to cm9. To fix it in would have to disable the mediascanner service (forgot the actual name), delete its' cache as well as delete the cache for the music app. At that point I would reboot and the music files would be re indexed properly. After a few days, the problem would recur. A workaround is to download poweramp which does not rely upon android's indexing service.
Good luck!

this is what solve mine:
you need to be rooted. use root explorer or ROM toolbox pro
Go to /data/data
Find and delete folder:
com.android.providers.media (don't worry it will recreate this folder)
Reboot.
Wait awhile because it is rescanning the external SD card
let me know if it worked
All,
Finally got JellyBean up and running after a scare with semi bricked phone. Everything was running cool when I started accidentally put .nomedia into the music folder. I realized that, deleted that file, delete data from "Media Storage" service, reboot(thinking that will make phone rescan all the media.
Now, it still doesn't the my music, and when I plug the phone to the computer, all I see is one folder which is the Notification folder. I've had this happen before and I really rather not wipe my phone again.
Any pointers on fixing this?
Thanks!
I have 2 clockworkmods on my external sdcard. One is of course clockworkmod and the other i named original clockworkmod. Firstly if i try restore them i get a md5 mismatch and yes i have opened the nandroid.md5 and wiped it, but the eror still occurs. So i dont want them. I keep deleteing them and not even 5 mins later they are back. I copyied everything to my pc and formatted my ext sdcard and copyied everything back but thos 2 directories. And know and god knows how they have came back again. I have disabled samsung link, google drive and all other programs as such. Could it be my gmail accounts. I hate sync and never used it but i synced my gmail accounts just last week. Could this be the problem. Plz any help would be great

Ahh, I see it's You back again
Gmail shouldn't sync anything, so it shouldn't be the reason.
Maybe those files are kept under "emulated/0/" or just in the "0" folder on the sdcard.
Make sure You delete them also (if You have "0" folder).

I will give that a go but I think its my ext sdcard. I have had a another problem, I was at work and came across some damaged goods so I took a good 7 photos of them. I was looking at them for about 15 to 20 mins. a few hours later got back to work and came to show my boss and they were gone. I was thinking wtf so I took a few photos of just anything waited a while check and they also disappeared. I then took a photo and moved it to my internal memory and its fine. I am thinking my ext sdcard is corrupt or got a virus or something. anybody got any ideas or had the same problem ????? I just checked using root browser and found emulated/0 and they are not in there. under emulated I have a "0" directory and a "legacy" directory. both don't have any clockworkmod backups. man this really doing my head in

I think you must be using some sort of unwanted (or wrong configured) program.
Try freezing all of your apps, make a try with with files, defreeze some of the apps and repeat the whole procedure until You find a guilty program.
It takes a lot of time, but it's worth of it.
You can also try fining programs that can be guilty just by checking permissions, which apps are allowed to write on sdcard.
The sdcard can't delete files by itself, you must have some program that does that. Check all of Your apps if the configuration is right, idk. some backup programs, hosting programs and also make a virus check!
I hope You will be able to find it soon.
Okay I have a serious issue. Randomly after moving my game data from PC to Android/obb the files mysteriously poof.
The really strange part is, is that they are not getting deleted, my file system still shows that the space is being used.
The files are nowhere to be found, and the Obb Folder is empty. This has happened countless times after full wipes and reflashing.
I am running Gummy M4 Rom 4.4.4, this seems to happen with or without xposed installed. It also seems to happen after moving a lot of data to obb.
Anyone have ANY idea what is going on?
Edit:
Upon further investigation, what seems to be happening is
After moving data to /sdcard/android/obb via pc (mtp) and rebooting
the data then moves itself to
/data/media/0/android/obb
I have no idea why it is doing this. Anybody have a fix?
UPDATE :
Ok so I figured out a workaround for this issue if anyone else is experiencing it.
Basically my obb files were disappearing after a reboot, this was after me doing a fresh rom flash and restoring the data back to obb folder.
They were then being moved to /data/media/0/android/obb , if you move back the data from here to the original location and reboot, it should stick after for that data + new data as well.

I have found a workaround due to your post and I thought it would be a nice idea to wirte it here.
I came to the counclusion that if I did a fresh new reset factory and installing a large mount of files in the internal storage's obb folder it ended up being deleted after rebotting my tablet.
So I decided to do a few steps the next time I reseted my tablet. First, I copied my files using my pc into the SD Card. Then, I installed a random game from Google Play so the tablet could "adapt itself" and install its own obb folder. After that, I installed my apps but not all at once but one at the time and rebooting after every installation for making sure it was all ok.
It concluded not having the error again and after having deleted the random game from the begining my tablet had finally worked.
Hope this idea helps someone having the same problem as I did. Just don't copy all obb files at once, don't copying it directly from the computer but copying them from the SD Card and install some random game for making sure it can at least hold those obb files.
Good luck!
Hi i just had a similar problem with my huawei nova 3e(p20 lite). I was playing gta:sa and it seems started crashing a lot so i did what the developer said and cleared te cache for gta sa then powered off the phone for a few minutes before turning it back on. Before doing thos step i also use the huawei 'clean up' function under the optimiser seeing as it has these functions built in. When the phone powered back on and tried to play gta sa and it started trying to download the obbs then failed to launch and i went to the file explorer to find out all my obbs were gone.
I have never made a backup of my phone data so the data recovery methods that google suggests wont fix anything as i didnt back them up and i havent got an sd card in the phone so it's not likely that the phone has moved them elsewhere like what happened to the original poster.
Is it possible the cleanup function in the optimizer somehow recognized all the contents of my obb folder as being junk and deleted them all? But that is unlikely as i do this process many times a day when gta starts crashing and once the caches are clear and the phones ram is optimised the game runs fine every other time after a reset. If the files moved somewhere like original poster where might i find them seeing as i dont have an sd card? And if that isnt the case then i suppose i have little choice but to habve to re
download the huge obb files every time the phone wants to delete them? (another thing i noticed is that it was literallt only the obb files gone, my save gamea etc are still present and im a littlest worried if i track down the obbs and put them back or worst comes tl worst redownload them agqin, will rhis make app clear all its current data and delete my saves?
We were on our first vacation with our 2 year old and I took a day's worth of photos and at least an hour or two or video. I didn't realize the HTC camera app was saving to the internal SD and I hit my limit. I thought it was as clear as using Root Explorer to move the entire DCIM folder from the "storage" folder to the "sdcard" folder under the funny looking numbered folder that eventually points to the SD. In the process, it asked if I wanted to replace the target DCIM folder, and I thought sure, why not?
Now, my internal storage is barren and my SD card does not show the images I attempted to move... I'm in shock and sadness and currently trying to run FonePaw on the internal storage to see if It can recover anything. So far, it's found only the stuff I deleted months ago. There is the possibility while manipulating folders that I overwrote SD to internal somehow but I'm not sure how that might have happened.
I'm reluctant to install anything such as DiskDigger or Undelete Recover to the phone as that might overwrite more of what I'm trying to recover. Does anyone have any idea what I could have done and how I might get out of this mess? *sigh* MANY many thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to help out. I'm in such a state of sadness at the moment *double sigh*
