Anyone has any issues with the image gallery's performance? every time i open the gallery, it takes a while, say a minute, before the albums show up. Sometimes they don't show up at all.
I have synced FB albums and Picasa albums. I'm not sure if that's what's causing the slow performance though.i'll be unsyncing those albums soon so hopefully that fixes the problem.
Getting this too on my stock (International) Note 2.
Very annoying.

im thinking its the synced stuff. its getting annoying. still trying to find out why. but i do think its cause of sync
yes it is caused by the synced stuff. I removed fb albums by removing fb account and adding it back in without syncing the pic gallery. it was fixed after that.
it's nice to have them synced albums. so hopefully this will be fixed in the future.
Well, I've fixed the problem on easier way, instead of remove the Facebook account just enter on the sync settings, and deselect the sync gallery option, enter the gallery, the first time is going to be slow, but next time is going to load faster.
Something to try is "quickpic" from the market. Fast, functional, free. None of the syncing crap though.
I never looked back after using it.

Make sure you don't have any images being synced through Dropbox that the Gallery is looking for. Can really slow the things down. Rather than sync your phone through Dropbox better to perform manual syncs using DropSync.
If eliminating your Dropbox sync doesn't solve the problem go through your images and make sure nothing is corrupted.

Remove the account then uninstall the app while clearing the data. Install it back and set it up without the galery sync or let it sync once then remove.
Had the same issue and turning off dropbox sync fixed it...My facebook photos appear to be syncing without issue.
I fixed it by just removing the sync in my Google account. It was syncing ALL my photos. Google back up, drive and Picassa. I also unchecked Uploading.:cyclops:
Yeah this was talked about in a few different threads when the update was first released that is rhe only fix that I know of. Unsyncing Picasa and dropbox all of them

So I've had some luck with removing Facebook and Picasa sync, but only inside the Gallery app itself. My issue is when using a 3rd party app to upload a photo already taken (Messaging, Facebook, Untappd) and the Gallery could take 10 minutes to load so I am almost always forced to take a new photo instead of uploading the one that I wanted to upload. Anyone figure out what is actually causing this issue?

Turn on sync and go to settings and account Google account click email and un check everything todo with a pic. Than do the same in the Facebook app.

My MicroSD was needing maintenance
In my case, the gallery slow performance was announcing that something was wrong with my micro SD card, I just formatted it using HP USB Disk Storage Tool disabling quick format and it resolved the issue, I copied back all my files and now the cell phone is working perfectly.
I hope it helps.
The KitKat upgrade was maybe the only TRUE improvement on my S4... With JB, the gallery was a PITA, even with syncing disabled !

I can't seem to get facebook contact pictures to update in the people/contacts app. The facebook pictures populated in contacts when first setup, but loads of my contacts have updated their facebook profile pics since and they just won't update on my Desire no matter what I do. I've sync'd, removed facebook, relinked contacts etc no joy. Anyone know how to make this update?

This is well documented on here guys as something that needs fixing. The only way to get the pics updated is to remove your facebook account and then re-add it.
Various people I beleive have aready emailed HTC (including myself) about this problem.
I have the exact same issue though about 2 weeks ago I noticed one of my contacts pictures had updated on my phone without me doing anything but it was only the 1 from what I can see and don't know what makes that one different from the rest

I tried it and removed the FB account and also the FB app but after adding them back it won't load any FB contacts at all!!
The app works fine and the account show like it syncs but in contacts when i choose which ones to show it just says: facebook (0)
What gives?
Something weird is going on. For some reason, I am unable to link certain friends' contact information with Facebook (Sense). I'd say 95% of my contacts are syncing fine where their information and pictures are updated through their Facebook profiles. However, I noticed that about 5 of them aren't listed on the Facebook link search list: even though they're on my Facebook app friend list.
What could it be? Is there a setting in Facebook that doesn't allow this information to be synced to people's phones?! Only thing I figured it could be.
Thanks in advance...
Nobody can relate?!
Yep. I have one who I cannot link. He has the highest level of privacy on his account vs. the rest of my friends. So I am pretty certain it is a security setting. Not sure which one though.

Gotcha. I guess it makes sense. Alright then. Thanks for the help!
I imported my contacts from a save file on my sd card recently, and noticed some contacts not syncing with facebook.
Later in the day I checked it again and they were synced fine. No idea why it was like this. I stored my contacts through google, and not to my phone.
Weird. The thing is, with my, it's only like 5 contacts out of the hundreds that are syncing fine. It's been months too and they're still not linked. I guess there's a setting on Facebook for that.
i'm having a similar issue, although my phone is an HD2. but there are some facebook contacts that will not be available for me to sync them with my phone contacts. and even i add more friends to my facebook profile, when trying to sync the contact, it only shows 53 facebook contacts. even though more friends were added recently. any ideas?
I have cm6 and downloaded Facebook. I don't have last names but 30% get linked. I just want their pics on contacts. I downloaded I used syncmypix app from appbrain which I'm sure is in the market. Does Facebook sync for pics. Got all of them on there. It will attempt to sync them. After and if it doesn't do all of them go to results. Will show the list of friends and who's picture worked. You can go through and if there is no pic next to the name and is on your phone contacts, click their name.. it will pull the pic from Facebook. Hit the back button to to exit pic and press and hold on their name. Will bring you to your phone contacts. Scroll and click. Bam you synced their pic. It will ask to crop or skip.

For whatever reason the photos from facebook are not syncing with my contacts. Prior to upgrading to ICS it was working fine through Samsung Social Hub. Now no one in my phone has a photo next to them.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I have sync'd all through the facebook app and there's now no option to sync contacts through social hub app. Any help is appreciated.
Bueller...
Im having the same issue
I used to do it through the Social Hub, and when i'd actually install the official facebook app, I'd select "Don't sync contacts" b/c Social Hub did it fine, and the facebook app would always distort the pics a little bit
but now I had this problem like you do
I tried to sync through the facebook app itself, but that doesn't seem to be working either oddly enough
somehow both have stopped working
sphogat - I'm on the same page with you. It's not just facebook either it's LinkedIn as well. I hope someone has a fix.
I'm having the same issue. Somebody help!!!

I have this question, in ICS when i install the facebook app, its ask me to sync my contacts in with facebook (the existing, i mean the contacts in my phone to update with fb photo, info, etc) but in jellybean i cant, i see the account there, i turned on the sync option, but it doesnt do anything.
Someone know what to do?
The functionality has been deliberately disabled by Facebook. There was something of a controversy about it back when it happened. So, yeah. Not happening anymore.
So,do you know any good app that do that work very good? like ICS without any problem
Contact sync for facebook in the play store. Try that out.

I use Friendcaster and it syncs the contacts pretty well. I started using it when Facebook upgraded to 2.0 and kept having network errors. The contact sync was just a plus.
So, I have a peculiar issue with my S3. When I add a google account, it asks me what all I want to sync to my phone (calendar, gmail, picasa albums etc.) and I have unchecked the picasa and google photos box there. Still, when I open the gallery, I see all my picasa albums there. Is there a way some different way to stop the phone from syncing the picasa albums? This is happening with my 3 different google accounts. I only want the gallery to have local pictures and not the ones associated with my gmail account. Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help.
I too hate this... and there is no way to stop default gallery app from syncing... even with sync disabled in settings.
1. Get an app like TiBu that can freeze apps.
2. Freeze Gallery app and unfreeze it only when you need to change lock screen image.
3. Install some app like QuickPic to replace gallery.
There is a process call Picasa Uploader. Try freezing it and see if that helps. Am not sure on this though.
Even after not choosing to sync photos from your google account, somehow it still shows in your gallery.
Here's the fix for this.
Setup your Google account with photos not checked to sync (as u know even after this, photos still shows in gallery).
Then go to "Application Manager", "All", in "Gallery", choose "Clear data".
This will clean the thumbnails, not your actual photos. If you chose to uncheck photo sync from Google, it will not appear again. Must be a bug with the OS synching with google. Hope this helps.

additionally, (depending on your rom) you can go into your gallery, hit menu and select what photos/albums you want showing up there. you should be able to select just the albums on the device.

make sure sync for the picasa albums is still off, then go into Settings > Application manager. select the All tab, find Gallery and hit the clear data button. next time you open the Gallery, it will take a moment to rebuild it but the picasa albums should finally be gone.

I actually don't mind this but it is annoying that it scans every folder for pictures. I end up seeing random album art in mine. Is there way to stop that?

throw a .nomedia file in the folders you don't want showing up in your gallery.
