i am having some serious problems with the built in gallery app. i have few folders with over 300 pics in them. everything is nice and smooth until im trying to open some of the last pics in the folder. i tap on it...it opens all blurry, hangs for about 3-4 seconds then it's ok....if i swype to the next on same thing.....3-4 seconds on each pic. if i open pics from the begging of the folder or in folders with fewer pics they work perfectly fine. i have tried different sdhc cards, hard reset. the only way this works is with other gallyer app like gallery ics or any other gallery app or file manager that has built in viewer.
now....i dont know if its an issue with folders with alot of pics in it......or if its an issue with the built in gallery app not handeling some pics taken with other devices.
do u have this issue?
Could those pics be of a higher resolution than the rest? It takes awhile for the higher res pics to load.

My phone recently started displaying everything with like a cartoon effect where you can see all the pixels being thick? & I copied some images to my pc & they display correctly so I decided to take a screenshot of a picture, please look, any help?
Thanks in advance
hi does it do it when your on the se home screens and app draw or just with photos youv taken ?
Looks weird. Like the screen is only able to display a very little amount of colors which results in heavy banding in gradients. Or heavily compressed images.
Like the previous poster said, are only the photos affected or everything like homescreens too? If only photos, you haven't changed to camera quality settings to the worst (though I heavily doubt it could be that bad even if you did)?
Ooops you said they look fine on the computer which is weird. Maybe your screen if faulty somehow. Don't know. But if only the screen is faulty it should not show on a screenshot. Very weird problem indeed.
Its just affecting when I take pictures, or even when I download random images the same problem occurs, so just viewing images really
So just viewing images, It may be your image viewer.
Is that the stock photo app or camera360?

It's the stock gallery app.
If it only affects images I would try and download another gallery application like Quickpic and see if the images display fine.
Maybe if you replaced the app with the one fro system dump?

I used quickpic & it works fine its just gallery & some games
Wow, I found out what it was.... It was chainfire 3d, I accidently selected the unroll to 16 bit & when I uninstalled it it worked fine!
Did anyone notice that the pictures you take when using instagram are much lower in resolution than the ones you take when using the stock camera?
Unticking the "advanced camera" option under instagram settings doesn't do much since you're gonna have to crop your picture again.
Any thoughts?

Yeah that's instagram for you, the pictures are resized to crap.
or taken in a lower resolution using their 'advanced' camera in part of the app.
Just the way it is.
That's just how Instagram works.

Images are always cropped down within instagram. Even the images you took with the stock camera you upload there. Just take a look into the instagram photo folder on your internal memory. They're all cropped down BADLY.
Thats just how Instagram works. Small images means less traffic and faster loading times. Thats why you cant watch images in full screen within the app either.
Thanks guys, I thought so.. this is getting annoying!

Damn, I wondered how they got the pictures to upload so fast!

Sorry for thread-jacking but is there any way to take pictures with Instagram and not have them uploaded? Many times I just want to make tests and it sucks that I cannot simply choose to save the files to a folder instead of uploading the pictures.
doe anyone else notice that instagram links do not open the instagram app on the HOX? For instance a tweet of the form instagr.am../asdhjd/ would give the option of opening with the instagram app on my SII but on my HOX it just gives the browser option..

Yes, just don't click upload... The pics will be saved in the instagram folder on SD

It does save the photo but it doesn´t apply the instagram effect. It also won´t let me choose the default folder or to set "never upload" as default.

Works for me. Take the photo, apply the effect(s), hit the arrows in the top right to take you to the tagging/upload screen, then just back out again. The processed photo (with effects) will be in the Instagram folder, the unprocessed photo will be in the normal camera photo folder.
Thanks. I didn´t realize it copied the photo with the effect to a different folder. All other photo apps I use automatically copy the photos to the android default photo folder.

Yea, it will copy the untouched photo to the normal photo folder, and the effect photo to the Instagram folder.

I much prefer to take pictures with the stock camera then use instagram to crop and upload, but thats just me.
yeah but wouldn't it be hard to judge how the photos should be taken because only the middle half of the photo will be cropped and uploaded onto instagram.
I've got the Galaxy Note N7100, and when I open up the gallery on it's own, it's fine, and loads up the phone photos along with those on facebook, dropbox, g+ etc almost instantaneously.
But when I try to select a pic in an app (like PicsArt, Camera Zoom FX, AfterFocus Pro etc), the stock gallery opens, and then it takes AGES for any folder to load (even the local ones, except for camera; but even the camera folder takes ages to be accessible).
It takes like 30 seconds sometimes!
What's wrong with it? Is it just me?
And could I disable it, so it doesn't automatically start trying to pull folders from G+, Facebook etc whenever I open gallery, be it in an app or independently?
My Nexus 4 used to be almost instantaneous in this regard...
I have just tested what you mentioned and see no lag. Something seems to be wrong somewhere. Regarding which albums get "read" I did not find a solution. You could use QuickPic. You can then just long press an album and choose "bypass" or "ignore" or something along thoes terms ("Exclude").
Do you have lots of pictures or film in your gallery?

Thanks, and quickpic worked like a charm!
But yeah, the gallery's still lagging. I don't have a lot of albums on the phone, but the gallery grabs all the pics from my google+(/picasa?) and splits them into albums by date.... And a lot of them!
I don't think this happened on the nexus... And not sure why it is so or how to turn it off...
But meanwhile, quickpic is working awesome, thanks!
Hey, guys. Loving my Note II. This is actually my second one and they have both had this issue.
The Gallery loads super slow, especially when it's accessed through another app (such as when you're sending an MMS). I tried quickpic and it seems to be faster. I wonder if it has to do with the Picasam, Facebook, and Dropbox integration? I do have a lot of albums.
I haven't tried turning those off yet, but I like the idea of having access to my web albums through the gallery, so I'd rather not. However, the slow loading gallery is starting to drive me nuckign futs. Anyone else notice this? Any idea what causes it? Is it my web albums?
Thanks!
Yes, quickpic a lot faster.....

What class memory card do you have? I find the faster the card the faster they will load.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
mine lags and slow loads as well. I absolutely hate the large thumbnails in the gallery that are not rendered clearly. They are all fuzzy/blurred until you select one picture and expand it.
I prefer quik pic also. My memory card is a Sansdisk ultra class ten 32 gb
If you have your Facebook pics synced with your gallery, you will immediately and without a doubt experience an extremely noticeable slow down in the your gallery performance.
When I got my Note II, I didn't immediately sync my Facebook to my gallery. The gallery flew at the speed of light. Eventually, I synced my Facebook photos so they would show up in my gallery. BIG MISTAKE! Immediately, I noticed an extreme slow down. Before, if I wanted to change my static wallpaper to a photo from my gallery, it would be fast and effortless. After the FB sync, it would literally take many many many seconds before my gallery would fully load to the point where I could go through my different gallery photos. It wasn't immediately apparent to me what caused the performance lag, until other posters in a thread on XDA brought up the issue, and someone posted about FB syncing causing the lag. As soon as I removed the FB photo syncing, my gallery immediately reverted back to the amazingly fast speed it had before. I haven't had any issues since.
Fb and db sync makes gallery unusable. Have to wait a minute or two before able scroll through, otherwise it would jump back to the selected folder.

Since 4.3, my gallery app is absurdly slow to open, and I'm looking for a replacement. Something similar happened with the camera app, and installing the Note2 camera port fixed the lag problems.
So the only restrictions for the gallery are that it must open as the default picture viewing app from within the camera (that's why I suppose only official Samsung galleries will work - S4/Note), and preferably have an editor.
If there's a way to make QuickPic open up the camera pictures from the camera app, I'll take it. But if not, are there any working ports I can test?
Thanks!
