On my old note 10.1, opening the gallery then clicking on a folder brought the images in the folder up instantaneously.
On the new note, using the same memory card taken from the old note, the whole thing freezes for about 20 seconds before showing the contents of a folder.
Anyone else have this issue??
I would very much suggest turning off Dropbox syncing and Picasa syncing in settings. Especially Dropbox if you have your account setup. It's a bizarrely bad decision for Samsung to ask the Note devices to pull pictures and videos automatically. The Note 3 has the same issue trying to pull in cloud accounts.

Hello, I have a question about the Gallery on the Nexus Galaxy. Is there a way to delete the "auto synced" albums from google+ and synced photos?
I wanted to use the gallery just for local photos that I take with the phone and that I import onto the phone from my computer, yet for some reason, even after I stopped syncing photos with google+ & synced photos, those stupid albums are still there, AND I cant take them off.
Has anyone found a way to take these off just so you have your camera album and other local only albums?
Thanks!
Mike

Link is not working ,i would like a solution to the problem too.
Picasa web albums. Go there, log in with your Google account and delete the albums
Edit: search picasa on Google. Its not an app
I still want these images on my google+ account, just not on my phone >_< is there a way to do that?
Have you tried to disable photo sync in the account and sync settings?
Yes, I have both that and instant upload turned off. I have also unchecked google+ to mkae sure that it wasnt that... But still after uploading new albums, those stupid picasa (or w/e) albums continue to come onto my phone! It's really annoying and stupid! I don't get why they can't realize that some people dont want all their public photos where their private ones are....
Anyone has any issues with the image gallery's performance? every time i open the gallery, it takes a while, say a minute, before the albums show up. Sometimes they don't show up at all.
I have synced FB albums and Picasa albums. I'm not sure if that's what's causing the slow performance though.i'll be unsyncing those albums soon so hopefully that fixes the problem.
Getting this too on my stock (International) Note 2.
Very annoying.

im thinking its the synced stuff. its getting annoying. still trying to find out why. but i do think its cause of sync
yes it is caused by the synced stuff. I removed fb albums by removing fb account and adding it back in without syncing the pic gallery. it was fixed after that.
it's nice to have them synced albums. so hopefully this will be fixed in the future.
Well, I've fixed the problem on easier way, instead of remove the Facebook account just enter on the sync settings, and deselect the sync gallery option, enter the gallery, the first time is going to be slow, but next time is going to load faster.
Something to try is "quickpic" from the market. Fast, functional, free. None of the syncing crap though.
I never looked back after using it.

Make sure you don't have any images being synced through Dropbox that the Gallery is looking for. Can really slow the things down. Rather than sync your phone through Dropbox better to perform manual syncs using DropSync.
If eliminating your Dropbox sync doesn't solve the problem go through your images and make sure nothing is corrupted.

I have Facebook set to not sync images, but it continues to do so. I cant get it to stop syncing.

Remove the account then uninstall the app while clearing the data. Install it back and set it up without the galery sync or let it sync once then remove.
Had the same issue and turning off dropbox sync fixed it...My facebook photos appear to be syncing without issue.
I fixed it by just removing the sync in my Google account. It was syncing ALL my photos. Google back up, drive and Picassa. I also unchecked Uploading.:cyclops:
Yeah this was talked about in a few different threads when the update was first released that is rhe only fix that I know of. Unsyncing Picasa and dropbox all of them

So I've had some luck with removing Facebook and Picasa sync, but only inside the Gallery app itself. My issue is when using a 3rd party app to upload a photo already taken (Messaging, Facebook, Untappd) and the Gallery could take 10 minutes to load so I am almost always forced to take a new photo instead of uploading the one that I wanted to upload. Anyone figure out what is actually causing this issue?

Turn on sync and go to settings and account Google account click email and un check everything todo with a pic. Than do the same in the Facebook app.

My MicroSD was needing maintenance
In my case, the gallery slow performance was announcing that something was wrong with my micro SD card, I just formatted it using HP USB Disk Storage Tool disabling quick format and it resolved the issue, I copied back all my files and now the cell phone is working perfectly.
I hope it helps.
The KitKat upgrade was maybe the only TRUE improvement on my S4... With JB, the gallery was a PITA, even with syncing disabled !
Hi all,
please tell me there is a way that I can transfer all my contacts from my iPhone to ma Galaxy Note 2 ?
I ve found a link on Droidsoft.fr but the app sync from samsung seems to be KO.
Any ideas ?
For the iPhone there is an app call My Backup Contacts. It used to be free, not sure if it still is (it is doesn't exist any longer you can use iTunes to back up to a CVS file, it just is a bit more involved). But you can backup up your contacts to a CVS file. Put the file that is created on your computer. Then open up your Gmail account and on the upper left where it says Gmail there is a drop down arrow. Hit that and select contacts. Just to the right of that there is a picture of a little guy with a + and a MORE with a drop down arrow. Hit that arrow and select IMPORT. Select the file you put on your computer.
Then you should just need to sync you contacts with your Gmail account from your phone.
I hope this helps. It is how I migrated from the first iPhone to Android (and never looked back)

use Idrive lite, it backups your contacts online and install it on your android and then restore your contacts.
Hi,
If you are still using iCloud, then this app might work, it sync's your contacts on the note with iCloud.
SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts

On a side note, if you do use the SmoothSync, you also need to install "JB Workaround Cloud Contacts" so on reboot for Jellybean the program is not uninstalled.
I am using it and it works well.
I back up my contacts on Outlook. So all I had to do was export my contacts as a csv file. Opened up gmail, uploaded this file, and voila, all my contacts are synced with my Google account, which I am sure you have if you are using a Note 2.
Did the same thing... had to do a little polishing when it made it to the note but overall got everything there in one piece.
When I had an iphone there was an option to sync your contacts with google instead of outlook or whatever other options. I choose that. Worked perfectly once my android synced with google

Samsung Kies desktop software has option to transfer all iphone data to Samsung phone.
Make sure to update Kies to latest version.

I used the icould website to back up the cvs and then import it eith gmail it was pretty easy
I used Google sync to transfer contacts from my iphone to my note 2
I just added my Gmail account as an exchange account on the iPhone, and it backed them all up to Gmail. Then they came down no problem on my android phone.

The bump app worked for me before. Apple sure does make it a pita to transfer contacts
Just set sync contacts to google in iTunes and sync the device. Once you boot up the Note and add your google account all your contacrs will be there. Easy

Agree with this and you don't need extra software. I came from the iPhone world and set it up to sync with Google. Setup my gmail on my Note 2 and they all came in perfectly. :good:
I came from an iPhone 3gs recently to the Note II on AT&T, and didn't want to sync my contacts with google for my own reasons.
Researching I found multiple ways to accomplish transfering contacts, including using the Kies software, which didn't want to work on my older, XP-64 computer.
There's free software called "Easy Phone Sync"; an application in the store for the GN2, and one you install on the computer. It worked well for me, by transfered all my contacts, pictures, music, text messages, from an iPhone backup. Some points:
1. backup the iphone first, so you get the most recent data over
2. I actually did it twice; the first time I included text messages, and it seemed to have broken the stock messaging app (it took about 2 hours for it to "sort" the messages and then regardless of a reset or what-not, , I was unable to receive or send text messages). To resolve, I did a factory reset and second time around I did not transfer these over
3. I don't have any music on my phone, so I'm just assuming they would have transfered over without hitch
4. The single-iPhone gallery gets broken up into multiple galleries on the GN2
5. I was surprised to see the GN2 contact system automatically group up a few duplicates, neat!
Hope that's helpful to anyone else searching.
Syncing your contacts with Google is by far the easiest way

I just did the contact transfer last night, here is a few things I learned:
1. sync iPhone contact to Outlook first is a BAD way to do it. Because once the contact is in Outloo, it change the format your contact a bit, ie. phone number tracation change, add "catories" field, put people's birthday into "Note" sectio, most importantly, people's first, middle and last name will be mapped differently .. these are a few thing I observed. And when you sync outlook to Google, you will have more manual clean up to do.
2. The easiest without downloading any additional apps is to first turn off iCloud on your iPhone. Setup a google account as your defaul account, and sync your iPhone contact with google. Once it is done, you still have some clean up to do, but very little. Then you just sycn your Andiod with google contact. The whole process is very clean compared to iPhone -> Window Phone transfer.

Hi
I have S Note installed in my rooted Tab 3 7" (SM-T210). The app works well, and it is synced with evernote. All my S notes are safely stored in evernote cloud but they keep disappearing from my tab when i reboot. I get the notes back on syncing with evernote. Syncing with Samsung account is pretty much useless, and I actually turned it off.
Does anyone know how to configure the tab so that it keeps my S notes and they stop disappearing when I reboot?
Thanks
PS: Awesome note is cool in SM-T210.
Solved by using Dropsync (download mirror), and leaving Samsung sync permanently turned off.
I have 10.1 2014 and s5 phone. I take notes on tablet, it auto syncs to evernote on tablet, and Evernote then syncs with phone. Have snote on phone but it's not getting notes from Evernote so I can't edit notes on phone. Any ideas? Thanks!
Go into S Note and change the sync account from Evernote to a Samsung account.
Or I guess make sure both devices have the sync account set to Evernote, if you really want to go that way.
Either way, make sure S Note on both devices is set to sync to the same account.
Tried synching S note account...... Seems unreliable with constant messages about having "trouble with sync be back soon" or something like that. Went back to Evernote which is reliable. But can't do reverse synch i.e. From phone back to tablet. I am surprised this isn't simpler., but I am still happy to have notes in one place.
