Does anyone else find that their stock photo gallery sometimes hangs? Sometimes it takes about 5 seconds to open, and other times it just hangs at the "loading" screen.
ps. I've only got about 50 photos in there.

Yes. Mine has delay and lag too. Just bought it yesterday.

I've noticed this problem a few times here and there. I just kill the process using advanced task killer and then its near instant again. I think the gallery just gets stuck at times. You may see it running in the built in task manager then close it and try again. Usually works after the task is killed for me anyway

I get some hangs in the Gallery app too, but not as long as 5 seconds.
What bothers me the most is that after uploading an image through Kies Air, I need to quit the Gallery app completely and reopen it for the new image to show up.
I've also had this problem intermittently. Twice I waited more than a minute and ended up rebooting to get the gallery loading again otherwise it just hangs.

I think you just need to force a manual "media scan" to get image changes to be picked up. The app ScanMedia is great for that purpose
The Gallery pauses are probably due to a background media scan running to pick up image changes on the "sdcard" partition. Google should fix this... esp since HTC Gallery can do the scan without pausing.
yeh I get it to, little annoying but doesn't bother me to much atm
The problem does seem to be intermittent, but it does get annoying when I have to reboot the device to get it to open back up again. Hopefully there will be a patch in an upcoming update.
I have noticed that if I save picture from some wallpaper app or from internet browser, the picture doesn't show up in the gallery. I am not actually quite sure what to do to make it show up. My only solution has been restart or then using some other gallery, like just pictures. Also there I have to press refresh gallery to get the new pics showing. This is annoying as hell.
I have over 200 photos in my gallery also have 10 videos...doest lag or hang for me...

found the gallery app extremely laggy while using my hd2 as well... switched to quickpic and never looked back again.

The problem is the Data Network Mode. Deactivate it and you will notice a big improvement!
Yep its awful, I use quickpic now its tons better

yes QP is great even on the lower spec phones, like my SF, but on the SGS2 doesn't QP break the ability that allows you to set a different wallpaper on the lockscreen ? or are you just running both side by side ?
sometimes gallery doesn't launch the pics at all so have to exit it and re open! only occasionally tho.
Just open quick pic and then long press the picture and select set as, then lockscreen and then poof, it is set

Agreed, quickpic is awesome.
The gallery app is laggy to open, and then far too fast once it's open, it's like the phone is too fast for it.
Installed quickpic and never looked back.
no, that doesn't work for me..

If I do what you state above all works up to 'set as', the only options i get under 'set as' in QP are to set as QP Wallpaper or contact icon...
Mine lags as well. But not all the time though.
When I got my samsung galaxy note to the left of the home screen was a page that had a facebook app at the top of the screen. I was able to look at one persons statue at a time and enter a status update if I wanted too. After the ICS update facebook wouldn't load so I had to delete the app. I re installed the app but is it possible to somehow get the app back the way it was?
I don't think there are different device specific versions. I think the version you had was the highest available for whatever rom you had (stock GB?). I could be dead wrong on this, but seeing that you havn't had a response yet, this is my best guess.
Soo...you could attempt to find older versions of the FB app, but that in itself can be risky. FB is notorious of taking one step forward and two steps back. They have made their app completely useless for some phones for weeks at a time. There was a point that, on my SGS Vibrant, it would constantly refresh every 5 seconds or so making it nearly impossible to read anything.
I hope someone comes along and drops a link in famous XDA style of being endless repository of knowledge, but I fear you may be waiting to see what the next update brings. For me, I'm just happy when the damned thing works right.
Why facebook ICS not same with GB. App facebook already up to date but not same with facebook GB.

You're thinking of the Facebook widget. Long press your home screen until the "add" box comes up, select widgets, select Facebook, it will put it on your current screen if there is room. Then long press the widget and slide it around to place the widget where you want it.

Hi guys
Anyone else having trouble with chrome? I noticed it came with the phone so gave it a go but it seems to be missing bits.
Evertime I startvit comes up with takeca tour as I cant seem to set a home page. Browsing works and I can set bookmarks ect but when I read the help section it says to use the menu button on the search tab....there isnt one lol only the new tab button and search. The pics in the help section and app page on the market show the top as blue too yet mine is gray. Am I missing something here????
can you take a screen grab?

Mine works fine, only thing I'm missing is the smoothness of samsungs browser.
When I scroll and zoom in/out in chrome it is responsive but seems to be skipping frames, while samsungs browser is really smooth.
One reason that I've stopped using it looks like it doesn't support Full Screen mode, is that so or just that I'm unable to find it in the settings? .
I know we have to uninstall Facebook and Messenger in order to install Facebook Home. Since Facebook is integrated with HTC, how do we accomplish this?

Once you're rooted and either s-off or installing a kernel that allows write to system, then you use an app like root explorer to delete those apps from system/app.

Try disabling the native FB ap before you download the hacked version then reset up facebook from there. Worked for me stock dNA

The version I installed from these forums included a ~17mb Katana (fb app) apk and a ~260kb fb home apk, I just installed the Katana apk (installed over old one) and then installed home apk. It said "facebook home isn't for your device yet", then went to the fb app, which said "finish setup" and then it asked me to choose HTC Sense or Facebook Home as a default launcher and I chose home, and it works perfect.
Although I highly recommend you go into apps settings and turn on forced GPU 2D rendering for Facebook, as it lags alot without it.
I got it running (actually liking it so far ) but my messages won't show the keyboard? I can't respond. The messages go all the way to the bottom.

The Messenger App just won't let me enter text in for text messages. That's the problem. I used to the guide on XDA to install the com.orca (messenger). Texts notify and display, chat heads shows up. Just no way for me to send texts thru it.

Facebook home will not let me can't drag tool bar on the top of Facebook Home so that it is not convenient to see the miss call.And it cannot change the wallpaper,strongly hoped they improved the experience quickly.

Bump...for interest. Anyone got version 1.1 apk working or as a lock screen?
Now that the OTA is finally rolling out and people are updating, I think it's a good time for a thread about the differences aside from what's mentioned in the changelog. It'll give a little insight as to what's changed/added.
So feel free to start listing out what's changed!

So can you put emojis with the keyboard or they just show up when someone texts you?

Don't notice anything new right off the bat with the camera. It did take a while to update the firmware though. Still have to dig around
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Here is a summary of changes I noticed:
UI is smoother than before with no hiccups yet, but that may be a placebo effect.
Notification panel toggles look shorter and waste less vertical space. They cannot be turned off anymore. Now you can only select which ones can be scrolled through horizontally before you have to open the full toggles drawer.
Default font seems to have been updated, though I am not sure whether I was on Samsung Sans beforehand and it simply reset the font.
Upon further inspection, it seems as if my font choice has been reset to default from Samsung Sans.
Camera firmware update, but I don't immediately see any changes.
When viewing photos in gallery or camera app, the date taken is shown briefly on the bottom left.
GPS location and Verizon location services have been merged into one option, it is no longer possible to disable Verizon location services if you want to use GPS.
Blocking mode, reading mode added.
Wifi notification can be disabled.
Play store updated to new sliding drawer, version 4.4.2.1 (this may have just been a coincidentally simultaneous update on my part).
There is a link in the app drawer to install KNOX, which looks like some sort of secure VM based on the text in the app.
NFL Mobile added (may have been in MI1 and I just didn't notice, but it is in my app drawer).
Contacts list is more compact (white space removed), you can now see approx. 9 contacts at a time. There is no scroll bar anymore, and the letters to quickly jump through the list are permanently visible.
Wifi location polling when wifi is off (as per Android 4.3).
Calculator is fullscreen (no status bar) with no way to change it, pretty sure this didn't happen before.
The stock music player can now play the mp3 files I have saved on the device. It always said that the files were unsupported beforehand, and I did not change them at all.
The dialer doesn't seem to lag as much when looking up contacts as you type (666 for "MOM"), but this might have come with the overall UI. It also doesn't lock up the phone for half a second when initiating a call anymore.
With Air View on, a few of the options in Developer Options are highlighted when hovering over them (not sure where this came from or why it is there, maybe testing for their 4.4 build, but I noticed it when going through the settings).
Clock app UI updated.
"Disable" in application manager is renamed to "Turn off."
That is all I can see immediately. I do not use stock launcher, keyboard, browser, or email so I did not check these.
Just quick question for those that got it, one of you said your font got reset did ajuthing else reset or get wiped?

Developer Option Reset
There is a bug with the new camera. I have all the animation and transitions set to off in developer options. Transition animation scale gets set to 1x every time the camera is launched. Super annoying.
Thanks for such a complete changelog!
Google Play updated on my VzwGS4 4.2.2 ME7 and now has sliding drawer.
