The stock gallery app sucks on this phone and every phone ive tried. pictures barely ever load, fc, etc. id download quickpic i think it is from market, or use the motorola one, which is good.
My gallery is not functional as well. Trying Quick Pix now.
I can concur. The factory MotoBlur Gallery app as well as the factory MotoBlur Social Media widget and factory MotoBlur Music app are each in their own right flaming piles of dog **** disguised in brown paper bags at your doorstep. I'm always having to End Task the Social Media widget so it will refresh proper facebook updates, it rarely grabs LinkedIN like it should as well as other networks. It randomly locks up on any given FB status update from a friend and requires to be End Tasked. The Gallery app with GingerBread is horrid. It wants to sync everything to the "cloud" or internet somewhere like Facebook. Then you try to delete a image off your phone and it makes you think it's going to be deleted from all over the world wherever you may have uploaded it to. Makes you a little nervous I'll say. On top of that it also fails to refresh thumbnails or grab full res images quite frequently. It also does not properly recognize my personal directory structure on my SD-ext card. FroYo saw my dir's fine, but GB just throws everything in very generic "titles". I'm going to get the gallery app that is suggested here as well. I got winamp and am happy with the music playing experience again on my Atrix. Funny. . . Winamp on the droid does music better than Droid/Moto can do themselves. Go figure.
Quick Pix works fine. I like it!

If you didnt see it yet the Google Music APK has leaked from ICS. It's pretty slick.
Download here
I'll also attach it
If you have a previous version of Google Music installed, you must uninstall it first! If Music was preinstalled on your device, use Titanium Backup to uninstall it and then reboot your device. After that, you should be able to install this just like any other app.
If you're music doesn't sync after installing, simply head into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and clear data. Should work after that.
I got this info from Android Police and it worked great for me
Also check out Google+ from ICS
I got fcs on this app. Sence fcs
Got it working I just clear data.

That's strange. I'm running CM7 - Haven't tried it on a Sense Rom.
One person mentioned uninstalling it, rebooting, then re-installing it. Perhaps that would help?
Yea running good on CM. I did have to clear data then go into settings and select my account. Seems to be running smooth so far. Listening to MGK right now. (Pre-BadBoy) Lace the F*ck up!

It's Google Music -> Android Police went over the changes and included pics
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...s-all-new-interface-better-controls-and-more/
From the Android Police Post said:
the tabs are cleaner and the player area at the bottom takes up less space.
The Selection menu has also taken on a minor change: instead of a popup in the middle of the screen, it now displays a dialog-style box directly below the artist. The available offline option is also missing from this menu, which may indicate a change in the way Music caches its streams. These two things are definitely the most minor of all the changes
The Player interface has also received a subtle makeover to match the rest of the app. It's clean and sleek, with less obtrusive buttons and more agile controls. Also noteworthy is the inclusion of a 'search' button in the top right, which is clearly due to ICS's lack of a physical search key
Tapping on the album cover in Music 3 offers very few additional controls -- just shuffle and repeat. Tap the album cover in Music 4, though, and you'll more options and details about the currently playing track and artists. Music 4 also offers track rating by way of thumbs up and thumbs down, so you'll hear more of what you like and less of what you don't.

Ok, I uninstalled the old google music app and then installed the new one but I cant seem to get it to connect to my gmail account or sync...how do I do this?
Edit: Nevermind it just asked me to sync....
Does anyone else's camera force close when clicking on the little gallery button in the bottom right corner of the screen? It FCs every time I do it.
I'm rooted, stock, with a few customizations, but even if I go all the way back to full stock it still force closes.
This happened to me after I downloaded a flashlight app. Once I closed the flashlight app the camera worked fine. I uninstalled the flashlight and added a different one ( Tiny Flashlight + LED) and had no problems.
Are you using a flashlight app?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Good thought, interesting. I did have one installed, but it's been uninstalled since. I cleared dalvik, cleared data, but it's still happening...
Are you able to open the gallery using any other method?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
yeah, I can open it using the gallery icon,so I can still get to my pics without a new gallery app.
I've tried reinstalling both apps, odexed and deodexed. I'm thinking there's a setting the flashlight app changed that is left over from when i uninstalled it.
Can you confirm if the button ever worked properly?
When you click on the gallery button in the camera app, you're telling the phone to open the gallery app and replace the current view of the camera app with the view of the gallery app. That the two programs work independently suggests that something is wrong with the link. Either the flashlight or other app is preventing the camera app from having its' view replaced or something happened with your gallery directory like it contains 2 folders or files of the same name. Since other shortcuts seem to work I'd go with my first guess. Can programs like smemo or Photoshop access the gallery ok?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yep, any other app that I've tried can access the gallery just fine.
It's definitely seems to be something with the way the camera is linking to the gallery.
Honestly, I can't remember if it ever worked properly. I haven't taken too many photos. In fact, this was the first time since the day I got the phone 2 weeks ago that I took a photo.
Sorry, I think we're now officially out of my depth so I may not be of much more use. If it were a program I was writing on my computer I'd go to a program that can successfully launch the gallery (SMemo, photo shop, the gallery program itself) and copy the code for launching the gallery and replace it in the camera app. I don't know how to do that in Android (yet) though. It might be worth reverting it, taking it back to AT&T and asking for a new one? If you use words like "upset" and "disappointed" you might be able to get a free goodie or two

I figured it out and it turns out I'm an idiot. I had frozen Quickview in Titanium Backup. Fixed. Thanks for your help.
So, my gallery app is so slow that it is almost unusable. If I open it, I get a bunch of blank boxes that take forever to populate. I think it has something to do with me checking 'sync picasa', 'sync facebook', etc. options when I setup the phone. Can somebody tell me how to unsync these galleries? I went to the Facebook account settings and unchecked sync pictures, but I still have a bunch of albums and it's crazy slow.
Any ideas?
the picasa sync option is in your google account section of the menu.

Yeah, I already ended up unchecking the sync pictures boxes for Facebook and for Picasa. But the albums are still there in gallery. Maybe I should clear data for gallery or something?
the blank boxes... do they every populate?

After waiting a while, and they have the picasa and facebook icons. So it's still pulling my galleries off the web, even though it is no longer synced. I also wiped the gallery app data, and they are still there. I think that is why the app is so freaking slow for me.
you could try uninstalling facebook and try running a 3rd party facebook app. I personally can't stand the stock facebook app for crap like this and the way its always running.
as far as picasa, if you use it, i'm not sure what else could be done. if you dont't use it, you can remove a lot of its functions via the pc. and that would clear that up.
I have a tip for you OP.
Turn off Wifi then try using your Gallery.
Not really a solution for the stock gallery but I've used Quickpic for as long as I can remember and it's always fast, reliable, and no sync issues to deal with. Currently I use that for normal picture management and use the stock gallery in the rare instance I need Picasa or Facebook photos synced.
Yeah I have found I have this issue if I am connected to wifi at my house.. I know the reason too. Looks like the phone is trying to connect to my networks dlna server (plex) which for whatever reason it is unable to do.. I just removed allshare and the problem is gone.. you can either rename the three or so files in your app dir (if you have root) or you can install a ROM as most of them give you an option to not install allshare.

Yep I was just under the assumption that the OP is on stock firmware.
Struggling to replace dodgy gallery with quickpic on JB 4.1.2 so that the camera uses quickpic as the default viewer.
Tried freezing gallery, when I click on photo in camera nothing happens. Set default app for photos to be quickpic and the camera still uses gallery.
Any ideas. ..?

The first thing I do with a new device is ditch the Gallery in favor of QuicPic.
If you're rooted, no problem just delete the Gallery. If not, go to Settings/Applications/All/Gallery/ and click on Clear Defaults. Next time you view a picture select QuickPic and click on Clear Defaults.

Thanks guys but not working. Uninstalled gallery. Clicked on a picture, chose quickpic, cleared defaults. When I click on a photo using the camera nothing happens, it's like the camera is hardcoded to use old gallery.will try installing stock camera and trying that

Thats my question too, but with the nexus 4 gallery.
any solution?
-anyone tried the renaming idea, as suggested?
My guess is the two apps function differently and so google has changed our ability to use quickpic from the JB camera. Why? Think about it - if you use the camera from the lockscreen by swiping to the right, you can take a pic and review it without entering a password and unlocking your phone. But reviewing a pic this way gives you very limited options (eg you CANNOT set it as wall paper, nor can you email it or send it, which if you Could, would be a sneaky security flaw that would enable access into a locked device).
This means google has rewritten gallery to function differently according to whether it has been accessed via the camera from the lockscreen or whether you have accessed the camera after unlocking the device.
Quickpic probably doesn't have that ability, but I wish it DID!
I dunno - MAYBE WE ALL SHOULD EMAIL THE MAKERS OF QUICKPIC AND REQUEST THAT IT BE UPDATED SO AS T WORK WITH THE STOCK CAMERA?
Quickpic is an awesome app and it's way better than the stock gallery app!
when you disable gallery in apps manager it disables both the gallery and camera which means that their obvously linked together. they are both separate apks but still both part of the same app therefore meaning that it wouldnt really be possible to do it i dont think unless you were to modify the gallery app yourself you might be able to do it but would be hard XD from what i can think the camera apk kinda acts like a link if you think about it as opposed to its own app.
QuickPic cannot view TIFF files. I have alot of them copied from my PC to the SD card and cannot find a viewer that can see both those and the Jpegs. Anyone have any ideas?

When I took some pictures and opened my gallery I noticed a "Blinkfeed" style gallery with "Friends" etc.....Here's the thing...I don't want that crap in my gallery...I actually like Blinkfeed in that it is basically a nicer looking widget for my social apps...but I don't care to see that **** in my gallery when it's already on my homescreen.....I've tried to find ways to disable it on facebook...but to no avail....I'm kind of confused as to why it's even on there and not just the pictures I took or downloaded....Not sure I described exactly what I mean....I'm coming from a Samsung Infuse and never saw that...although it's gallery file manager was crazy enough.

Click the menu button in the top right (The three dots) then select ADD ONLINE SERVICE and just unselect the ones you don't want to see
Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed with that as well. I don't have Facebook, and I also turned off syncing with Google Photos, DropBox, Flickr and Picasa. Yet, I still have a blank "friends" block in my gallery. I'm not sure how to get rid of that. Went into "apps" and tried the method of deleting the cache and data and starting over, but it's still there. Oh well.
