Hi everyone. I have searched for this but could not find it anywhere so need to ask. ... I have an issue with my gallery it displays photos on my device and on Google Picasa as default. I want to change it to photos on device only and have done so in the settings but it keeps reverting back every time you leave the gallery and go back in. Does anyone know how to change it permanently so that it only displays photos on device as default?

You don't go to settings to do that.
Open the gallery, press the menu key on your phone and a menu will pop up. Select something like "Select Albums" and from there on you are on your own because I don't have my phone atm.
I went through this today. You have to shut off picasa sync under your google account in the settings menu. Then go to app managment and clear data for the gallery. The picasa stuff is cached so it wont disappear. I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to go away.

Yeah I totally said the wrong thing. Not from the gallery, but when you have instant upload on and it uploads then to picasa. Sorry for the confusion.
I think you have to do it on the official Picasa website or Google plus.

Yeah this is what I can't figure out. I deleted the Google + account, but they are still showing on the phone in Picasa. I guess Ill try that next.
If you don't wan't your online photos to sync with your device, you can turn off sync via settings (settings -> sync -> Google account -> Google photos/picasa).
If you want to delete the photos, there is a button on google+ or picasa that will let you delete them.
go into the G+ app, or G+ on your computer, or the Picasa website. Sign in, delete the pictures, sign out.
Done.
uncheck google photos sync and then clear cache for gallery
Uncheck syns with google pictures in account settings, then wipe app data in \settings\apps\gallery. Unless you wipe gallery data, the images will shoe in the gallery.

I don't understand why people reply to the post and repeat what the person right above them said. But yeah, do what I said.. it should resolve all the problems OP is facing.
So after searching for over 2 hours I am stuck! When I go to edit a contact and attempt to change the picture it defaults to a picture of my wife. I have tried using the Gallery and Root Explorer option to select and crop a pic. Once I have cropped the pic and select done, the pic changes to the one that I have for my wife.
I have tried Fixing Permissions, factory reset, cache, dalvik and still I cannot change the contact pic w/o it automatically changing to my wifes pic. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

My dad was having this problem on his gnex, a simple reboot should fix it
This has been a constant issue for many if not billions....
Use the app quick pic... In the play store... Use that to set contact pics... Profit!

I am getting so frustrated with the stock gallery. I actually installed the 4.2 gallery so I can change my stupid wallpaper. I deleted the gallery cache and everything I try won't fix this junk. Deleting the cache for the gallery used to work but now it still acts real slow after. Does the gallery act up on custom roms also for anyone? If not I might get off of stock rooted and actually install a custom rom.
I have never had gallery problems at all. Ive set all my wallpapers with it. I also have over 700 pics and videos and it wont lag at all even with airview enabled.
Whats your problem specifically ? You just cant set wallpapers?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
I get major lag (like the gallery takes up to a minute to generate my pictures) when I try to set a wallpaper from settings - Display - Wallpaper or when I open my sms app and try to attach a picture from there.
I never have lag if I go straight into my gallery. I can set wallpapers and share via sms from the gallery without lag.
QuickPic, ftw. Have not used stock gallery for more than 5 minutes total since purchase of Note2.
Slow to load, can't hide folders...
The sidebar feature is nice, but not worth it.

This is probably happening because you have you google pic syncing and Dropbox and Facebook if you stop your gallery from syncing youll be good to go

Thank you for the advice. I just turned all the syncing off and my gallery still runs real slow.
It's never going to get faster.. It's garbage. Get quickpic and be done with it.

Works fine for me.stock rooted
Whenever I try to attach a picture the gallery comes up blank intermittently. At times it takes forever for the gallery too load

Hello, i have the same problem.. Facebook and those work. But Gmail doesnt work.. unless i open the app manually.
First go to settings/app manager/all apps/ Gmail, Show Notifications must be checked.
And Sync must be on.. check sync options for gmail and the other not working stuff. this happened to me when i updated Gmail.. not facing any problems with other apps.
Give me a Thanks Button If I Helped!
