Anyone having issues with their gallery when trying to access it to add a picture from within an app like sms or facebook etc..? When I do this it will only load the camera pictures but not the rest of my pictures in different albums. I have to hit cancel and start the process again and the second time they always show up. This only happens when trying to access them from within another app, if I just go straight into the gallery from the app drawer it will always show all pics.
Working fine for me.
It runs slow for me. I figure it is because I have a ton of pictures or I'm syncing my Facebook albums.

For whatever reason pictures from picasa are showing up in my gallery and I have never used picasa and it won't let me delete them. They constantly show in my gallery and I can't get them out...
Any suggestions? Thanks

I somehow managed this one as well.
Would hope for a more useful reply.
I tried toggling sync under my google account and rebooting and such and even tried manually searching for the pictures internally in my phone.
Fortunately, I made a non-related nandroid like 40 minutes earlier before applying a framework mod.
Reverted and reapplied to get back to where I was.
All I did to get the stubborn buggars to show up in the first place was click the "refresh" option in gallery.

i think the pics come from google+ (at least in my case)
should be the same pic you see in google+ / photo
so..or u uninstall google+, or remove all the pics in google+, or you have to live with the pics in ur gallery as i do
1. Disable sync for google photos under account & sync
2. Go to apps > Gallery
3. Force stop then clear data
If you enable google photo sync accidentally, the picasa album will show up in gallery again. Just repeat the steps above to remove it.
Lastly, use search next time. This question has been asked gazillion times.

thanks it worked, even if i didn't enabled gooogle photos synch..maybe the first time i installed it, it was enabled...
anyway they disappear from the gallery after a phone reboot (maybe just sdcard rescan is enough)

If you have google+ installed and the albums are showing up again, clear data for G+ too.
They need to patch this coz it shouldn't be so troublesome.
I started running the ASOP ICS rom a few days ago, and while using go SMS pro, ii noticed that the little box to the left of the conversation was empty. But the picture display shows up in the stock messaging app? Hmm.. ive tried every third party app on the market, and none will display any of my synced google contact pictures, and wont display any fb info (numbers, pictures). Any suggestions as to how to fix this minor problem?
Hi Guys!
I have a problem with Dropbox on my One X, everytime I want to connect to my Dropbox account at the phone gallery I get an error message that the gallery was ended. The gallery tries to connect to my Dropbox account and a few seconds later I receive this message. Is there anyone with the same problem or anyone with a hint to solve this problem? If I use the Dropbox app to view my pictures, everything works fine, only from phone gallery it doesn't work.

I've posted something on android central forums, but I'm trying to figure out if I'm the only one having this issue. I recently bought a GN3, coming from a moto x (which I loved, just wanted bigger screen). I've disabled as many apps and samsung features as I can and got the phone setup as "stock" as I can get it. However, I'm seeing a HUGE amount of lag in the gallery app. I'm going to try to get another device to make a video, but it's REALLY bad. I have 2 photos on the device at the moment and it can take about 10 seconds to load one once it's tapped. Then zooming or trying to share the photo can take another 20 seconds. It's REALLY slow.
Also, it's curently using about 130mb of ram (using the built in samsung active apps) which is more than any other app currently running, but it's been as high as 500mb+ with the same 2 photos in my gallery. It almost seems like a bug / memory leak issue. I'm just wondering if I'm the ONLY one experiencing this or it's a global issue.
I've done all updates available so it's running 4.4.2 with the VOLTE update. I can't find any other posts specifically related to the gallery app.
Just thought I'd mention, I don't like the gallery app and have no need for it, except the samsung camera ONLY seems to work with that app, not google photos which is what I was using on my moto x.
Before anyone asks, I've tried pretty much everything you can think of related to clearing cache, data, rebooting, and I'm not syncing picasa web albums. I don't use facebook or any other services that would display through gallery.
Any thoughts?? This is a pretty annoying bug for an otherwise excellent phone.
***UPDATE 8-10-14***
This seems to be a bug with samsungs nearby services services and DLNA servers. I'm running Plex on my local network and every time I open gallery it looks like it's trying to contact / sync something with Plex. I'm not serving photo's so I'm not sure exactly what it's trying to do but it's quite annoying. It doesn't look like there's any fix on the phone itself unless you are rooted and you can disable the service. The only other option is turning off DLNA in plex or turning off UPNP on router. Just thought I'd share if anyone else was experiencing the same issue.
Hi, i am facing very weird problem.
Recently 2 weeks back i reset my phone and then set it up and copied back my data to phone. But from Past few days i am facing weird issue.
Whenever i download any picture. It's thumbnail show correctly in gallery. But while uploading on whatsapo, facebook, insta or telegram or any other app, it shows wrong thumbnail. When i click on that, it changes to correct photo, but thumbnail still shows incorrect.
This happens to most of the apps.
I already deleted thumbnail cache but still the same.
Interesting thing is that, it is showing thumbnails of the deleted photos which i downloaded previously from facebook.
Please don't recommend to reset my phone again.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Try clearing the app cache for Gallery. If that doesn't work clear app data for Gallery (don't worry, it won't delete any photos or videos).
Settings - > Apps - > Samsung Gallery -> Storage
