It's generated by the system for gallery thumbnails. I delete it every now and then.

Have you googled for the solution?

last time can delete the folder & replace it file named ".thumbnails". but after doing this for 4.3, its force closed my video player. but can safe to do it for thumbnails inside DCIM.

Problem is, the camera roll is dependant on gallery, and hence that thumbnail file IINM. So you probably have to replace Sammy Camera as well to get rid of it completely.

With QuickPic and Camera FV-5 (or something) it's definitely possible to replace the stock cam though, but IMHO Sammy Cam is actually a bit better when it comes to speed and shutter lag so YMMV. Also, there is no telling what would happen to TW once you freeze (or remove) the stock gallery and Sammy Cam - it might just be FC party time if you do.

I wonder if this problem is TW specific and if AOSP doesn't have it. I've heard HTC phones get the same problem too though so I doubt this is the case.

u can install original 4.2 or 4.3 camera apk that come with photo sphere. it will replace ur camera & gallery. but new layout. also u will loose the video apps. but still can play using the gallery video player. this will not generate .thumbnails folder.

still regretting, huge setback, should have come to read about comment on 4.3 before install it.
Need to find time to read up about rooting...

just downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.2, after almost 3 month using it. wifi unstable, sudden reboot, many apps crashed. never got any problems with 4.1.2.. now restoring my apps via titanium backup.

I just realised something. Those of you who have issues with unstable mobile data connection (data freezes requiring flight mode or mobile data toggling to fix) - do you have FastDormancy enabled?

Unfortunately, you need to have root to check and do anything about it in the first place, but yeah, it seems to have helped with my problems here where I am. Those of you who are rooted and wanna try it out, you can download the FD toggle app here (yes it DOES work on the N2, even on 4.3): http://bit.ly/1nv82tH.

Prolly Maxis has yet to update the local cell with FD enabled towers or something
*
Mine always disabled it. But still happen on my note 2 4.3. Maybe 4.3 full of bugs. Already do clean install, install wifi patch, tweak here & there. Now revert back to 4.1.2. Peace of mind.

No more dual screen in simple mode and my Note 2 felt like downgraded, solution would be read up "rooting guide" and root it like you and master/ guru/ sifu here.

also, unlike previous version, after updated, type single letter like "C" in phone book can only gets me to name started with "C" but no mandarin name that started "C" in han yu ping ying.

BTW, interesting read here, think I want to get one Moto G and wait for next Lenovo.

I m using Moto G as well. Got kitkat, no bloatware crap n u I r phone felt much much faster than note 2 4.3.

After downgraded tu 4.1.2, no more random reboots, force close etc.

Those who think to upgrade to 4.3, I advise not to do so. From my experience with flashing ROMs, note 2 4.3 are the crappiest ever.

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_recovery
E:failed to mount /data (No such file or directory)

Also tried tried wipe data/factory reset

But it showed
--Wiping data...
Format /data...

Format /cache
E:Format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on dev/block/mmcblk0p16

Just want to add. 

MJ5 Bootloader if you using the kitkat 4.4.2 ROM  You cannot charge the phone while the phone is turn off.  If your battery out of juice,  you need a external battery charger. 

With the new bootloader you can charge your battery while the phone turn off.

i OFF my phone, and it automatically on my phone when i charged it..

By "automatically on", do you mean it boot up your phone?

I read most of N2 user in XDA having this problem with MJ5 (boot up the phone when charge it or didnt do anything).  You still can't charge while then phone in off mode with 4.4.2 kitkat.

I Just notice mine is still using MF2 bootloader (I thought I flashed MJ5 long ago when installing Dr. Ketan ROM).
Mine didn't do anything when I plug in the charger while in off mode.

I'm now using DN3 4 RC2 ROM (4.4.2 KitKat) S5 1.4 mod + PurePerformances™X Golden Edition.

yes.. it boot up my phone..

hi

my phone rooted, where to get 4.4.2 firmware?

faster? or lag?
*
U can get it at xda or sammobile. But xda got file from Google drive, so much faster.

So far using it for a week. Using France stock Rom. Much much better compare to 4.3. But after installed, many apps force closed. So make sure u backup with titanium backup, uninstalled the apps, n restore data only.

Regarding the problem to write data on sd card, U can use kitkat external sd card patch. Can download it for free at Play Store.

Zzz. ND3 ROM giving me a lot of problems now. Video Player force close and Ti Backup not working, unable to backup. Maybe it's caused by dirty flash. Reflashing fresh DN3 ROM again. If the problem still persist, then sorry la, I am back to stock ROM.

Video player forced close can happen in 4.3 n 4.4 if u delete the .thumbnails folder and replaced it with .thumbnails file.
