I first saw this on my wife's S3 and now I have the same thing on my Note 2. Whenever I go into the Gallery app, it is so extremely slow. I thought it was building indexes or something, but my Thunderbolt wasn't this slow. I have searched around and can't find anything.
I do have images on an extSD card, but even before I put the card in the pics I took on camera were slow to come up. I can use other apps like quic pic but I don't think S-pen works with other apps.
Anyone else seen this?
EDIT: It appears the S-Pen works fine in quic pic. I was able to select and copy to clipboard just fine. I would still like to know why Gallery is so slow though.
hmm I'd call mine quite fast. I have 42 local pictures already and it that album and facebook ones instantly and when I click local, the pictures all pop right up instantly. Have you noticed reads/writes from your memory being slow with anything else?

My phone overall is very fast. It is just the gallery. The fact that I saw it on my wife's S3 made me wonder. I even moved her pics off of her extSD card and onto her internal memory. Then I reformatted her card. I also reformatted my card in the phone before putting the pics back on it. Quic Pic works like a champ, so I believe it has to be Gallery.
No issues here with opening gallery, pics taken from phone or photos on memory card. Also my s3 was fast.
Yep, mine too. I have a lot on my card, when i open the gallery it shows a bunch of gray squares that should be the folder names.it takes forever to show thumbnails for some reason. Never had this on my S3
I have 6000+ pictures separated into 50+ albums all stored on my 64gb xdhc and its fast. for an album of more than 600 pics, the gray boxes turn to thumbnails quick enough to keep up with my scrolling.
I'm in the same boat as the OP.... It takes quite a long time to load up my pictures in my gallery. Quite annoying...
use a ultra high speed sd card an it will help with gallery speed. i have a 64gb sandisk that reads 50mb/s...

I have had the same problem since owning the S3 and now the GN2. I have about 6gb of photos on my internal storage and a couple gb on my sd card.
I have been able to figure out that it's something with my home network. Try to turn off Wifi and then open Gallery on all 3 of my Sammy phones the gallery is instantly fast.
PS Someone also told me to disable Tag Buddy and Face Tag as well.
Motorola is similar yo this except that the moto gallery pinch room is choppy. Quick pic fixes. Its something about the ui that makes it drag along on the gallery. Hopefully they address it because my old gs2 didn't really have that issue.
Same issues with gallery sometimes
I've noticed some slowdown on the gallery but mostly when other apps try to access it.
Like if i try to look at the gallery from picsay or something.
I notice the camera folder shows up right away but it hangs on the other folders.
I have it showing all my facebook photos too. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.
And I have noticed its quite hit or miss. Sometimes its instant sometimes it hangs.
It is quite weird when the phone is so fast.
I would love to know what is causing it.

If it's looking for facebook albums, it could be data connection that's affecting the speed.

I haven't found a way. I went into facebook sync and unchecked "sync gallery" and changed the gallery sync interval to never, then went and cleared all data from the gallery but it went through and downloaded them all over again.
Did you try changing the sd speed? I switched from the default 128k to 2048 and my galleries load as fast as I can scroll

I too have this issue. It would be worth trying what LordRalh3 mentions. Dont know if this is going to help. I had several pictures on internal memory until I remembered to install my external 32gb card, it is slow both ways.
I had the same issue, and found that gallery was caching a ton of data. Over 2 gigs the first day! I cleared it, and again the next day it began caching data again. I have resorted to disabling the app, and I am in the process of wiping to see if that helps. I will let you know what happens.
Stock gallery is bull****. Better is quickpic i use it nearly 1 year
Wiping did not help. Gallery still as slow as molasses. I will report back on cached data. How would I go about changing the sd speed?
I just changed the sd speed to 2048. There was no difference. This is really annoying. I turned off syncing with picasa, facebook, google +. Im not sure what else could cause such a slow down.

I really wanted to browse my pics stored on Picasa and I'm pretty fond of the Google Gallery app (I know there are others out there).
So I installed this from Astro and lo and behold it worked on the Nook Color! Enjoy!

After installation, go to your GMAIL application and select Settings > Accounts. Add a new google account, then select your current gmail account (re-add it) or select from the google account associated with Picasa.
Great Tip dascud!

Worked for me too - thanks for the tip!
Worked for me too. However, I could not get my picasa albums to sync initially.
I had to go to my GMAIL app and add my (same) account again which gave me the option to sync my picasa albums and everything works fine now.
I'm lost on the Nook Color and photo viewing, not to mention videos.
I have tried just about every app I can think, researched until I'm blue in the face, but no matter what I do, if I drop 80 photos taken by your typical-everyday camera into a directory, and copy this directory to the mounted micro-SD card, this device nearly has a stroke just creating thumbnails.
At this point, the Gallery app mentioned in this thread shows the grid of photos, and about 10 of 80 actually have a thumbnail that was created, the other 70 thumbnails on the grid turned from gray to black while the application struggled to create the thumbnails.
With 32 GB of storage space, there's no way I could manage hundreds (or thousands) of photos. I must be doing something wrong here, so much storage space, no way to use it.
Cool.. with it could also see my uPnP server
works great on my NC, thanks a lot!

I've been having problems with unresized images. The resized ones display fine. I'll do a batch resize to see if that works for my photos.
Any help or new information would be much appreciated. There are a couple of apps out there that can take care of the video, but I just can't locate anything else that can deal with photos.
This is frustrating, as I purchased this device specifically over other devices that don't allow for removable storage, but what good is 32 GB of data if you can't sort it and find stuff properly?
See this thread for a really fantastic photo app.

I wish I could download ALL of my Picasa images to my Nook.. But I have yet to find anything that'll do it. A few apps will let me download individual pictures, but I can't suck down the whole thing.
Picasa Tool Pro, as mentioned, is a nice tool, but as far as I can tell it has a batch uploader but not downloader. Although I'm going to check it out for the upload facility, pictures I take on my Nexus One I'd like to make to Picasa.
Honestly I still haven't figured out a halfway sane method of keeping my N1 and NC in sync.
Ok, I got my Thunderbolt late on Monday night and activated it Tuesday morning. This is my first Sense phone, so this is my first time dealing with HTC's custom stuff. Some of them, I like, like the People/Contacts app. But, I must be missing something with the Gallery app.
I copied my pictures from my Moto Droid over, in a folder called DCIM, to the root of the SDcard on the TB. The Sense Gallery app sees the pictures, but it doesn't show any folders. Under that DCIM folder, I had all my pictures sorted into various folders for organization. On the stock Froyo/Gingerbread gallery apps on the Droid, these folders showed up. On the HTC Gallery, it just lumps everything into one massive 500 picture 'Album'. Why? Anyway to resolve this?
Second, I think LTE may be broken. Each time I've attempted to use LTE, its failed. The Notification Bar will say 4G and have multiple bars of signal strength, but I'll have no data connectivity. My twitter feed stalls with a connection error, Flow won't update, no web browsing, etc. Speedtest app just hands at Waiting for Servers. Using the LTE On/Off app, if I switch to CDMA Auto(PRL), everything seems to work fine on 3G only. Since I've only had it two days, counting today, I haven't done full testing in multiple locations yet. 4G is supposed to be live in my city though. Any thoughts on this?

Using the LTE on off app I would switch it to evdo/lte auto. That should fix it.

For your pictures. Put each folder on the sd card seprately not in the dcim folder. All pics taken with the phone will default to dcim/100media folder but if you just put each folder right on the memory card, and label it, you will see them in the gallery like that.
also you may want to look into the app QuickPic, it will organize alow copy/paste and pic/video movement from one folder to another right in the app. no need to access your memory card. also create & rename/ delete folders from app as well.
As for the 4g issue. as posted above, go to market & download LTE OnOff and use that to switch it to CDMA + LTE/EvDO auto. You should be good

I work into the late evening. Fedex dropped the phone off after I'd left for work, I got it when I got home around midnight. I didn't feel like messing with it at half past midnight, so I did the needful tuesday morning.
Thanks for the replies, guys. I do have the LTE switch app from AndIRC, but was using the LTE Only toggle to get 4G.
On the Gallery, so I have to have a few dozen folders of pictures on my SDcard for them to show up? Seems cumbersome . . .Will test when I get home, no USB on work computers.
Edit- I can browse on 4G with the CDMA+LTE/EVDO Auto, but the Speedtest app still doesn't load. I know it gives poor results, I just wanted to run it. :/
With the quickpic app, you can try putting all your labled folders under dcim folder and then long press on folders you dont want to see and select excude from the menu options so you dont see that particular folder
You can put all the folders under dcim with quickpic. I just tested it..
For the gallery, you have to put all the different pic folders on the memory card not the dcim folder...
I'm having a nasty problem with my Razr XT910 where it is randomly losing my photos taken with the cam. I can take a pic and it shows up in the upper corner as usual. If I click on it it switches to the pic viewer as it should and shows the pic, but often when I open the gallery later, it will show thumbnails for my pics but if I click on one it is blank. If I swipe back a whole bunch of times it will eventually find and display an old pic, then for some reason when I swipe forward again it will show most of the ones that were missing a moment ago, but if I tap on them it wont bring up the menu to share, etc. If I plug my phone into my pc to try and back up my pics, it then deletes all of them before I can transfer anything. I am using the stock camera app and it is set to store pics to the SD card.
I have lost all my pictures several times now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Now that is a weird problem, could be a problem with your sd card.
Try set it to store in internal memory and see if it has the same problem/
I remember I brought a fake mini sd and once it reached the real capacity, the pics are always blank...but the thumbnails show up coz it is stored near the start of the sd card.
Hi Guys,
In my Mate 10, when i take a new photo using camera, it does not appear immediately in the 'Photos' section of the Gallery. It is not refreshed immediately or even after a long time. Although it appears at some point in there, but it seems it is random (it can take a long time which is annoying). However, the taken image appears immediately in the Albums section of the Gallery app.
Anybody noticing the same thing on their devices? Any solution?
My build number is ALP-L29 8.0.0.119(C636).
Regards

Are photos saved to SD card or internal storage

Then try internal storage. If that fixes things then maybe your sd card is not fast enough.
I don't agree since the picture appears immediately in the Album section of the Gallery app. It is the Photos section that has issues in refreshing. I am pretty sure that it is a software bug.

Just tested. Works fine for me on my Mate 10. No bug.
I just did a factory reset and again the same buggy Gallery app! Come on Huawei! You charge a lot for your new phones.
I then installed QuickPic gallery and it works perfectly.
I found where the bug is! If i put the auto launch apps to manual, my problem is solved. I think there is a problem with this feature of EMUI.
Goodmorning
My girlfrien has an Honor 9 with firmware B153, everything stock.
After a while, and about 4000 photo taken, the gallery has become really sluggish and almost unusable.
when i take a new photo it's need around 4/5 second to show the preview. also deleting a photo cause the app freeze for several seconds.
i have already tried to delete cache for both camera and gallery apps, and delete the thumbnails folder into DICIM, but with no results
Anybody had esperienced the same issue?
Thanks

yes that will certainly solve the issue, i will do it.
I was only curious if there are other workaround, since it seems quite a big limit for the stock gallery app

I do not think it's a storage capacity problem but rather a memory problem.
