Gallery app doesn't work - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Can someone test Gallery app on their device? It doesn't seem to work, and freezes my tablet. I have no issues with my tablet otherwise. I know I had trouble with the built in Gallery app on other tablets, and resorted to using a third party app, so I suspect this is an Android thing and doesn't mean anything is wrong with my tablet. But I would feel better if someone else could confirm the same (mis)behavior.
Thanks!

No problems with my Gallery app. But I may not have the same type and size of pictures you have on yours. I do have both photos and videos.

Works fine for me as well. Do you have a gazillion photos in Dropbox or someplace like that which it might be trying to synchronize?

No, I have only a few photos. I don't know why it won't work. Everything else seems to be fine.
Edit: I just tried it again, and now it's working just fine. I think you are right, it was having trouble synchronizing. Even though there aren't many pictures... must be enough to crash it while synching.
Thanks for checking it out!

Having same issue seems real clunky. I've done factory reset hoping it might help but still the same.
Other then that loving the Note 8

Ok! I thought I was alone! My tablet just started doing the same thing this morning. It is just the gallery. The rest of the tablet works great! Does anyone have any ideas of what to do to fix this?

My issue went away without doing anything... But I installed Quickpic in the meantime since Ive had Gallery issues on other Android devices and found that Quickpic works better.

Thanks for giving me hope! I will see how it works in a few days. How long did it take before the gallery begin to work normally?
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for tip installed quickpic and issue is gone.

Really fast. Either same day or next, I can't remember. Fast enough that maybe my issue was related to synching with Picasa. But on my other Android the Gallery app was always too slow, which is why I ended up installing and using an alternative app. Try a third party app don't wait for Gallery to fix itself. There are better alternative available on the Play store. My choice is called Quickpic.

New market not showing all images.

This problem had been bugging me for a while and im just interested if anyone else is having the same problem.
When checking out apps on the new market i can only view images 1,3,5 and since on. If there is only 2 preview images i can only view preview one.
This never happened on the old market place. Its only since the new market appeared.
Is there anyone else having this problem.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
That's why IMO its better to roll back to the previous version.
Settings->market->uninstall updates
The "freeze" the market updater with Titanium Backup, and you can stay on the old market for as long as you want...

Yes, I'm having the same problem with the new market and it's really annoying.

Hi,
I did that, its working but for some apps, for some the old way like not showing the images in the even # screens.
I have the same problem
So its not just me than.
I would roll back but I've got used to the new market now.
I'm sure they know that people are having thus problem and will fix it soon.
Or maybe not.

It's nice that you brought this up, I thought the rom is having problem or something. Will use ccrows suggestion. Thanks
same problem here :S
I had the sand problem , the market was not collecting cache . But this will automatically get solved in a day or so.

Yea I had the same issue! So I uninstalled the youtube app then downloaded a older version I found here. The current version on the Market seems to be broken! Works great now. Here is the link!

No but the new YouTube update broke my voice actions. When I try and use it this windows pops up and tells me to sign in. I have to re-click it again for it to work. Damn Google framework interfering. Anyone else have this problem?

I was upset because all of my subs were missing and no matter what I tried nothing would show. Checked the Market and pretty much everyone who had either updated or just installed was rating the app 1 star with the same problem. So definitely has to do with their latest update.
I'm running this older version and its working like a charm. Also if you have your apps set to automatically update, you should go in there and check that off so that you don't accidentally run an update that might cause this type of problem in the future.
I've done it in the past where I will allow automatic updating on all apps, and paid the price when an update just seems to be bad. So double check that in your app settings from the market.
I just use the browser and maximize.

New App to fix lag issues in Play Store

A new app popped up in the Play Store to fix the ongoing lag issues. It seems to work on a number of devices including the Nexus 7. It is called LagFix (fstrim) and is a free app. There was a good review on AndroidPolice. You must be rooted to use the app is the only downside. Here is the link

I can confirm that this works, wasnt having too much lag just barely a little but still decided to give this a try and I'm noticing a major difference with everything, stuff just feels liquid smooth
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
what lag issues does it fix?
I can confirm that it really helped my GNex. Says it trimmed approx 3gb!? I do know the smooth scrolling came back immediately. I'd like to know what it'll do if I check the "system" box. Gotta research more tho before diving in that.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
My N7 is laggy as hell and I really want to try this. The problem is that I never rooted before and will have to wipe my device to root (which I really don't want to do). Is there a way to execute the Trim command via ADB or some other USB debugging method that will not require me to install this app and root my device?
Installed it and ran it. Not sure if it made a difference. Are you supposed to run it just one time or whenever you reboot?

No video sharing on Group Play 4.3 updated?

So I updated my mother's Note 2 with 4.3. The phone is stock and everything, my problem is and made real angry is that I wanted to show off some of the new feature that it has. So went to group play app to do the video sharing, but when I see, there isn't any video sharing to my surprise!!! What happen? I saw all those demo showing off the video sharing option with a Note 3 and a Note 2!
I was testing that out (half heartedly) with my girls GN3 and my newly OTA'd GN2 and couldn't get them to detect with the scan... just off work so I'll try a few more things and see if I can get anywhere
Edit:
So far no dice... double checked device status and Knox counter... everything is good. I did turn on my phone afterwards and noticed several app updates (most were for newer 4.3 apps) but not for group play or Samsung link...
As of right now I wasn't able to get my girls GN3 and my GN2 to recognize each other through any of the apps when referring to videos... (we also have a Samsung TV but no dongle yet)... was able to get music to play on both devices though...
Some things that I've noticed:
1. Her group play app is about half the size of mine (even though she has the GN3 and I'm on the GN2)
2. Her Group Play app is actually an older version than mine
3. Her Group Play app has an option of video sharing where mine doesnt... I only have music/documents/etc... but no video tab to share
Really the whole thing makes no sense lol... but ill continue looking around for answers... pretty stumped at this point as, like I said, they sync for music, just not videos
Something tells me the solution could be as simple as a setting, as boring as waiting for the app to update, or as complex as requiring a dev to manipulate resolution errors/compatibility issues etc and creating a work around... really no idea at this point

That app before downloading, request an insane amount of permissions that are irrelevant (in my opinion) to what it should be doing... is there a webpage, youtube video or anything else online available to show me what the app does?

Post some screen shots of the app running... I mean even if I install it, how does the app work? Will it allow me to connect to the note 3? Ultimately I dont know why the new update doesnt have these options built in? Dont really care for 3rd party apps either

This apk doesnt run as such and wont appear in your app drawer. It seems to act as more of a plugin for group play.
Seems silly to me to. I dont see why it cant be part of the app.
Did you bother to try this in the end?
If you dont trust my file you can always download a stock N3 firmware and rip the apk from that yourself

Hey, thanks. Tried it but It won't install... pretty sure that it's because of non root stock. The question remains if a rooted phone would this work?

The app you have added is not the one required to make group play video sharing work. That one is part of the stock video player app.

I know. You were saying it doesn't appear in the app drawer. So you need this for it to appear. I like having the app in the app drawer instead going to the gallery which takes more time.

As far as i can tell it does not effect the streaming to tv function as this worked for me both with and without the share video apk.
Hi, do you guys have any idea about this? I'm trying to make the bluetooth shortcut to work but it says this app is not installed. I didn't have this problem on 4.1.2 version.now I'm on 4.3 not rooted. Thank you.

Okay after playing around and trying to figure out how to do this I find out how. You need a smart TV that's connected to your home network. That can recognize media files from your phone. Like a media server. I have a Sony TV so I went to settings turned on near by devices and allowed my TV to look in my phone. Then go to wherever on your TV to find the media connection and browse from your TV.
