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.
All photos are loading.
Is she using a SD card of a slower type?

Okay, so this is one of those Ace mysteries I can't get rid of. In the DCIM/.thumbnails folder were 20K random thumbnails for some reason. They were even repeated over and over and were even from pics I didn't even have anymore. And now I checked the folder again and found 13K thumbnails AGAIN of the SAME thing. The phone just froze as soon as I tried to open the folder or delete the whole thing so I had to do it through my pc.
Can someone tell me how to solve this, or why it happens? Every time I do a scan for a file on my SD, the phone just stays on that folder scanning all those things. I feel bad for my Ace having to do so much useless work for no reason :/
The thumbnails are small previews of your big pictures lol , maybe they're needed because there's still an app that uses it
Ace-ing all tests.

Well, the only app that loads random thumbnails is quickpic. I don't even use the gallery.
This forum is flooded with too much ICS issues. I've a problem apart from that. Recently I found in battery status that mediaserver is taking too much battery.
On an average my battery goes about 12 hrs with heavy use. recently I copied some 3gp and flv files in my 2gb card sizing about 500mb in total. after that my battery is lasting for only 7-8 hrs without any use! when I check battery status it shows 50-60% battery has been taken by mediaserver. to confirm my doubt I then deleted all the videos and recharged again. now media server only takes 2-5%!
strange,na?
Are you using ICS or Gb? Maybe the gallery application has something to do with it which is causing these unusually high drainage.
obviously strange, haven't seen such problem ever.

I'm still on GB. and yes i also think its related to gallery app because when I've these videos on my memory card then gallery takes minutes to load pics and viseos. most of the time it does not even show the pics and some time it shows thumbs of of pics that i've already deleted. first i thought as .flv file cant be played witout help of other app so system is trying to read .flv files and using battery. but it's not. even when there's only 3gp files then tha problems happed. i think a reset will help. but backing up everything is a pain

Oh! It's creating a loop in the media server when accessing the movies as you have mentioned. When the media server tries to read a file and if it fails, it reads it again and again. This is device specific bug bcoz this doesn't happen in aosp android. Update to ICS and see if anything improves or not.
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.
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
It is on sd card

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.
Hello everyone, ever since upgrading to android 10 im having a weird issue with pictures in my phone.
1. im using an chatting app called viber, for some reason i cant share screenshots within the apps photo share icon, some time before my screenshots didnt even show up there, i could find them manually but trying to send it gives "file not found" , now i can see them without searching for them, but still cant share them.
2. other thing is some pictures just randomly disappear from my google photos app, usually edited screenshots, after some time they are just gone.
3. downloading pictures from chat in one of the games i play "rise of kingdoms" also disappear after some time, those pictures are stored in "Pictures" folder created after the first download, but that folder/album later on is just gone from my photos app, those are also in annoying jpg!large format that i cant even open from file manager app until i remove !large extension.
btw all the things mentioned above , photos are not removed, they are still in my phone i can find them all in my file manager but i cant see them in google photos app, i also cant see them from any other chatting app when i want to share pictures. camera photos, photos downloaded with google chrome , seem to be fine and they never got removed from google photos so far.
have a feeling its something related to mi a3's storage managment cause i tried another gallery app and it doesnt show all my pictures as well, anyone having the same issues?
thanks.

I do have the same kinda issue with photos. For example, I want to share a pic while being in WhatsApp, Viber but it won't show me all the folders of the pics. I have to go to Gallery and share it from there.
