Hello, I got this wierd thing this evening. I dont know whats this but can someone tell what is it? Please help me.
Thanks.

[radical24]

it looks like possibly the images got corrupted. can you open these images?

[blueheartz]

Nope, all images are broken. And also all the images which i captured are safe and alright. I dont know how this came.

[radical24]

it happens sometimes. so do you have a back up of your images? if you do you can try to remove the broken images, but  the phone might not allow you to do so. where are those images stored? phone memory, mass memory -e , or memory card ? 

[blueheartz]

Ya, i have backup of those images. I was going to try to delete those images but till someone could answer me i didn't remove it. All images are stored in memory card. Only screensavers are stored in phone memory (ie. .gif files)
Sorry i have this problem on my N82, forgot to mention!

[blueheartz]

Also i cant delete those files as it states "file is open cannot delete".

This isn't an issue with the images themselves, it is usually a problem with the gallery database. Sometimes the database may be totally corrupted (which looks like your case), sometimes an image or small number of images may be moved or deleted but the gallery not updated so it still tries to find an image that isn't there. You will probably find that your images a fine if you access them from File Manager.

As a solution, reformat the phone but when you do the backup first, don't include the 'user files' - just make a separate copy of them to PC using mass storage mode - this way you should not reimport the issue when you restore the backup.

In case the issue is with images stored on memory card or mass memory, you may need to format that separately.

Ok, thanks i solved my problem. As mccbleue stated to format but i didn't format the card nor phone but just deleted all system folders by using a card reader. Now its all same as earlier this morning. Thanks a lot.
But all applications have been removed! (But nevermind i have all setup files of those appl.)

Good try radical24. Thanks for your help too.

Kudos for you!

The only issue with deleting the system folders in that way is that it can affect installed apps, I had a problem once where I did the same thing and some apps were 'gone' from their places in the menus, yet the files were all still on the phone.

Glad you are up and running again now, though.

[radical24]

just glad you got it sorted mate !  

[blueheartz]

But i would bring to your notice that it wasn't one file which seemed to broken but it was all together 255 files of same name!

I,ve been following your captured image corruption issue with interest.

My n 97 no longer stores captured images in ' photos' and i have to resort to the tedious task of opening 'file manager' to view all recent snaps.Hardly a cool thing to do  on a spur of the moment occasion.

Does this mean i have a corrupt file too?,It will be a real pain in the **bleep** to keep dumping them on to the pc and reloading apps etc?

If this sorts the problem then fine., but what can i do to stop this happening again?

PS i do have a 'broken image' in 'photos' but when i try to delete this i have a : General; system error,: and when i try to double tap to open/ enlarge the file, it just goes light blue and have to cancel to return to the homescreen,

Any bright sparks out there to advise please?

I too have the same problem. I have tried removing the PRIVATE folder Etc But it has not worked. What is the SYSTEM FOLDER , anyone let me know How to go about it .. I would try that too. I had lots of pictures which i removed but the BROKEN THUMBNAIL is still showing.

Help please anyone.

THanks
