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.

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.

Is there any settings that I could change in the DHD to display high-res pictures in browsers?
For example, go to any photo hosting sites, such as flickr, and see any random picture. If you zoom in a bit, the picture will turn blurry meaning that they are of low-res. But if you do the same on iphone4, the picture won't turn blurry if you zoom in a little.
I don't think it's only my phone since the display models all have the same problem. And it's not stock browser problem either because dolphin hd displays low-res pictures too.
I'm new too, hope there's someone who can help. Same with contact image, why are they too low quality?

strange i never experienced any at all.. mine are fine
Are you browsing on mobile data or wifi?
My previous network, T-Mobile, would compress every image that was served to me, even if I was on my laptop tethered from my phone.
Am on tmobile usa

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.
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!
Wanted to know if it is just me
WHen I upload photos to facebook using the FB app, the quality loss is horrendous. I'm talking if I re download the posted photo off of a friend's wall, it is around 100 kb, resolution of 960x540 (although the photo on my phone is 2 mb), it looks like absolute ****, pixelated, not big enough (even when full screened)
has this happened to anyone? I have tried uploading to FB right from the gallery, and uploading from the FB app, same thing
Any ideas? Thanks
ARHD 10.2, Android 4.4.3
Of course, from my PC, the same photo (uploaded to google drive, then FB) uploads fine to FB, in full quality/resolution
Doesn't that happen with all smartphone uploads? To get the full 100% quality you need to go on your computer and create an album and check the quality button.

hmm, i dont think so, maybe back in the day. It is all high quality now, if I upload right to fb from my computer (without checking high quality) it is fine. And my past phones never had this problem, it just this this. Trust me when I say the quality is terriblee in comparison
oddly enough, problem is solved if i upload from facebook.com mobile site from my google chrome app
must be the FB app then..
Hello guys, I have an issue with a really slow loading of photo/image thumbnails. For example, when I open Facebook or Instagram app (or any other app which allows photo upload) and try to upload new photo from gallery, I got a really slow image thumbnail loading during scrolling over all the photos. I have no idea why this is happening. Do you have any idea how to solve this? It's really annoying
You can see screen record demo here.
That's very odd... I am still waiting for my S20 to be delivered, but I can confirm that this is NOT happening on my S9 (with both FB and Instagram)...
Have you tried wiping the data and cache for FB, insta, and the gallery? Just a thought.
Had same issue on s10+...had to many pics on the phone....I moved pics to pc and it loaded it fine...Try to move pics to another storage device...
Nightwind Hawk: thanks for the tip. Tried to wipe data for both apps, but this doesn't help.
termdj: thanks, I will try
