Almost every time I open the gallery app it takes what feels like forever to load my albums. I have TWO albums, camera pics and another of some backgrounds.
Less than 300 pics in camera, with a couple of videos, and about 20 in the other album.
I've disabled Google picture sync and instant upload so I don't see the picasa albums.
Does anyone else have this problem? It's been doing it for weeks, maybe longer, (had the phone since uk launch day). Pretty annoying when I go to show someone a pic on my big shiny phone only to hold it with the spinning loading circle for 30 seconds with them saying "nice new fast phone".
I'm on stock 4.0.1

Use Quickpic in the market...the stock 3d gallery has always been slow...
What if I prefer stock gallery app ? Would rather find out why gallery takes so long to list albums, if its like this for everyone then surely it's broken?

I have 22 albums. Most of them have at least 40 images the largest has 66. They load instantly.
Andoid 4.0.3 AOKP
Did UK not get the 402 update yet?
Maybe try dividing your albums.

Don't really want to split the albums, galley 3d worked fine on my rooted desire and I had 600+ pics in the camera folder on that.
Nope, I haven't had 4.0.2 yet, still on 4.0.1 with the volume bug fix
Will have to use quickpic for now until I get updates and see if they help I guess.

After having used QuickPic for a while, it blows my mind that anybody could prefer the stock gallery app. How in the world could you possibly prefer the stock gallery? QuickPic is so much better...
I used to use quickpic for a long time on my desire, I have nothing against it, it is quick and works well. I just like the look of the gallery app, along with side scrolling.
Different tastes and all that remember

The stock ICS gallery is perfectly fine.
Quickpic looks out dated and ugly, like something from HTC.

Form over function is idiotic.
Quickpic does what it should. Default Gallery never has.
I have lots of albums and photos, stock gallery app loads all of them instantly without any issues.
Am using AOKP 4.0.3 custom rom.

Stock Gallery works fine, until it doesn't!
Can you select which folders to include/exclude with the stock Gallery yet?
Something wrong with your phone. I have 2000+ pictures in 20 different albums. It loads instantly. This is along with another 1500+ pictures synced with Picasa.
I also have Quickpix but I only use it to do some batch operations. It looks really crappy and outdated.

I'm having the same issue. Stock gallery app loads super slow, takes close to a minute to show any images. I'm using quickpic until I figure out the issue, but I also prefer the stock gallery for normal image viewing. Any ideas?
Is there any way to make to picture to not show up in gallery???
Theoretically you can put .nomedia files into folders that you don't want to show up in media apps (for images, sound files and videos) but the stock gallery app is very buggy when it comes to refreshing the folder lists properly. I would use a third-party app like QuickPic instead. That app also has an option to hide folders inside the app itself.

I tried that with the .nomedia files but its not working.Anyway i downloaded quickpic and its perfect..
I recently made a few videos using the video maker app i got from the Samsung app, anyways i am missing eight video and over 60 very important pictures of family. I went to my gallery and changed it to people instead of folders and it showed the pictures I'm missing but when i click on the picture to view them it shows a different photo and i can't get the videos to show up at all. Anyone know if this could be a sd card issue or that app i tried everything.

In the gallery app there is an option to view photos from online sources, but the only two options I am given are picasa and facebook. is there a way to get other websites and cloud storage in this app, like from skydrive etc.
thanks
You can have Picassa, facebook, Twitter and play memories. There is no way to add something on your own.

Hi.
Had M7 before and i could see pics from FB and other sources like Dropbox in the stock gallery app presented like albums. On the M8
i can see pics from whatsapp but not from other sources tho the accounts are ok.
Has anyone managed to view those pics directly from the gallery?
Thanks.
