[Q] Anyone else's gallery crashing/FC when sliding to view pictures?

Hello all,
I'm been a very happy Nexus user since I bought my phone in January. I've never experience any problems with the hardware or software until now. I noticed today that when I am in the stock camera app and slide over to view my pictures the app crashes/FC. I'm not sure when it started happening, again noticed today, but it did used to work fine before. I don't use my camera all that often so it's not a huge deal but since I am 100% stock + root I expect the stock apps to work fine.
Has anyone else's phone doing this? I tried restarting to no avail. YouTube video coming up! I apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere. If so can someone kindly redirect me to the thread?

Never happened to me. Did you try clearing the Gallery's cache/data?

Hmm... while waiting for the video to upload to YouTube I did more testing and I think I have it figured out. I took a picture last week and rotated it counter-clock wise using QuickPic. When opening this particular picture in QuickPic everything works as expected but when I open the same picture using the stock gallery app the app crashes. So I guess the way QuickPic saved the picture (corrupted?) is making the stock gallery app bug out. Anyone else care to try to see if you can recreate the crash?

I can rotate with Quickpic and view rotated pictures in stock gallery just fine.

Thanks for the replies. I dunno maybe this picture just got corrupted somehow. I deleted it and all is well.

Can't see your image (broken link?)
This is a longshot, but you could try deleting the folder /sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.gallery3d
This will remove the Gallery's cache file so it will recreate it from scratch. I'm not sure if the clear cache command actually wipes the file or simply empties it.

I've had this probelm. I encountered it when I was trying to change the picture size. For some reason it wasn't too happy when I was making my pics smaller. What I did to fix it was ckear the data in the gallery app.
-Settings
-Apps
-Gallery (under "ALL"
-Clear data
Then I rebooted and I didn't have any problems. Hope this helps you out.

It's actually a YouTube link not an image. Doesn't show for me correctly using tapatalk also. But in the browser it displays properly.

Yes, thanks for that. I also think something went awry when editing the picture. It doesn't seem to like it like you said. Since the picture wasn't that important I decided to just delete it.

[Q] Slow gallery

Did anyone have the slow gallery problem on Galaxy Note II? Specially when changing wallpapers using the settings. Is there any solution to it?

My gallery has suddenly gotten extremely slow too. Started yesterday. Tried clearing the gallery cache but that didn't help. I did some searching and haven't found a solution yet. If I do I'll let you know.

Very slow gallery

Mines been like it for ages, slow to the point of unusable, searched and searched but no solution at all, its really annoying now, tried differant Kernels and rom's but no luck.

Through Settings/Application Manager/All/Gallery I cleared the cache. I then used a file manager (Total Commander) to manually delete the .thumbmails directory. I also turned Facebook Gallery syncing through Settings/Accounts/Facebook.
My phone automatically rebuilt the thumbnails and after maybe half a day Gallery sped up to it' usual speed.

haven't noticed any problems on my end, seems to be as fast as day 1

Mine is slow as ****e as well. I assumed it was something to do with the Facebook galleries.
I use Quickpic though instead.
ETA: lbloo's solution worked for me although I had to clear data rather than just cache on mine.

I did it. Cleared cache. Cleared all files related to Gallery. But still it is very slow. Specially while changing wallpaper and picking picture from gallery. Thanks anyway

Now it appears that after doing above steps and I cannot select a picture for setting wallpapers. (Long pressing on screen and selecting wallpapers from gallery does not show any pictures, only place holders for the pictures. )

I have like 6400 photos on my SGN2 and i can't feel the slow init

I found it really slows down when using a custom rom. Redpill kernel made a difference though and speeds things up again.

but i just flash it with the official stock firmware and restore it to defaut factory settings. what am i doing wrong

After factory reset gallery speed improved. But still selecting a wallpaper from gallery by long pressing the homescreen is toooo slow.

I was also having a horrendous experience with the Gallery, the page would always jump up to the top and be extremely slow to load.
Solution: I used Titanium Backup to freeze the "AllShare Service", now it's all smooth!

This did the trick, AllShare is apparently trying to look at the photos to do something with with the "Change player" option, disable Allshare (which is useless anyway IMO as it's far too slow) and it sorts it out, gallery is MUCH faster and the multi-second hangs are totally gone.
AllshareCast keeps working which I actually _do_ use.
Hopefully Samsung will fix this in the future to make it useful, but for now, disabling AllShare with TB does the job.

I don't have this issue with my phone but I don't either keep more than 300 pics or video in my gallery. But I use to clear gallery data through sdmaid app

[Q] App Cleaner

Hey.
I wanted to know if there is a good cleaner app out there ? I have installed a lot of software and then removed them again, but there are still files and traces of old programs and i wanted to get rid of all.

Hi,
You can try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12482608

That's the one I use I bought the Pribkeyandcstill unsure of the extras but corpse cleaner, duplicate tracker all kinds of good stuff.
Another more simplified app is Cache Cleaner NG. You can details a time spit clears cache once a day preventing any lag like that's even an issue on this phone

Well. I preffer Clean Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard&feature=search_result
What I like is that every time you uninstall an application, immediately informs me if this has left residual files and gives me the option to remove them, has a widget for each I want to stop applications running in the background (which you can filter that not hold), and that every so often it shows the cache left by applications that you remove as you wish.
Is excellent!

Thx for the help

Might be something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29369439&postcount=4
It can be any program that is not closed properly (eg. running in the background), like Youtube.
Does it also occur when your device is rebooted and NO program is started? (See in the apps listing which apps are running right after resetting)

it is manifested even when the device has just been restarted. I try to freeze youtube and see how it goes?

Does anyone know a program to check if the battery is still working?

Hi. Maybe try to untick conversation tones (notifications) in whatsapp.

Try to use Greenify. That'll stop programmes from restarting.
As has been said that particular wake lock is an app that hasn't closed Properly.
When I get it I terminate apps one by one each time going back to bbs hitting refresh to see if the wakelock has stopped increasing. When it does I know that's the app I need to greenify.

thx for explain.
Last night as I needed the phone fully functional, I 've formatted. I will update if the problem recurs and if I were to do only 3 hours of screen on. If greenefy will install (I have to buy it or even the free version is fine?)
Thank you.

Any time.
I use the free version. It is a very good app. Make sure you delete all sounds within the phone settings as well. Such as tts, keyboard sounds/vibrations etc.

How old is your GN2? Age also degrades battery.
You can try Greenify to hibernate all user apps (but not those which you need notification from.) You can also try to freeze unused system apps using TB Pro or other free apps (there is a list presented somewhere in the DN3 thread, try search)
Goodluck.

about 4months , so i don't think its the age

For battery capacity is warranty for 6 months.
But use Wakelock Detector or Better Battery stats and see the results.

Use the app battery life repair. It activates the inactive cells in a battery. I found it to be useful.

Firstly, there is no reason to put all your writing in bold.
Second, your battery is either dying or you have too many things running in background. Check to see if you have backup services like picasa etc syncing without you realising. Go through everything and turn off the things you dont need/want.

Re calibrate your battery. It will help. There is an app called battery calibration in play store. If that doesn't work you can try manually. I forgot the method though. It really helped me
