Gallery freeze when selecting pic from camera - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyone else get this randomly? I'll take a pic, then I'll hit the little icon in the bottom left to go into gallery, and sometimes it just hangs for like 15 seconds. can't do anything, can't even hit back, can only hit home. eventually it unsticks and will do every command you did while it was frozen (like if you hit the 3 dot menu button 4 times while frozen, when it unfreezes it'll do it 4 times etc.)
pretty annoying. didn't do this when I first got the phone but started happening a lot lately, 2 months in.

Same issue here. Usually takes anywhere from 10-20 seconds to open the pic in gallery from the camera.
Edit: Just cleaned up my DCIM folder (Move photos to month divided folders on the sdcard) and now it takes only 1-2 seconds to open photo from camera into gallery. See if that helps resolve your issue.

Ditto. Same here.

ahh, i never really do that though, i just keep everything under DCIM. using it on my SD card too, but it's a fast class 10 samsung 64 gig.

Same here. It seems to have started doing it within the last few weeks or so.

Gallery is soooooo slllllooooooow [Why?]

When I open the gallery app, it takes 10+ seconds to display my albums. Is this just how it is and I need to get used to it, or is something going on?
Do you have a million pictures?

I guess I do have a lot of pictures. I didn't think it would take that long every time I open the Gallery app, though. Would pinning all the albums for offline help?
the more albums you have the slower it loads, if most of your albums are online, and judging by your second post they are, then it'll take even longer, depending on your connection, to load.
making them offline would help, but still if you have a lot of pictures it's just going to take time.
i have 16 albums, with 6 being online, and my app loads in maybe 2-5 seconds.

camera crashing and not taking pictures

Completely stock. Out of nowhere today, the camera app has started crashing. Pressing the shutter or vol buttons does nothing, and no pictures are taken. I rebooted the phone and took two pictures and camera force closed immediately. If things were working properly there would still be at least two seconds before pressing shutter and a picture being taken. This phone SUCKS, it's the most disappointing Android experience I've had.
This started happening to my phone as well. I force stopped it, then rebooted and it works for days again. I notice it usually happens if I go from Camera on taking photos to screen off. A closer look shows that if the app is doing something such as changing rotation from landscape to portrait when you screen off, it goes completely bonkers. It's as if the sensors are locked in an orphaned process and can't be accessed. This is proven by launching another app that uses the camera and it'll do the same thing. Black screen loading the app.
this is happening all the time now, especially when i take many pictures in a short duration. the camera will go all black and then a random app will open, seriously. the stock camera app does this.
Do you guys have any Layers themes on?
i do not

Welcome to the club. This phone is a total lemon. Just waiting for the latest udpate to check if it fixes this issue. Its close to 5+ months now and google hasn't still fixed the issue so far.
I think i am done with the nexus line with this phone........
i have had nexus 4, 5 and now 5x.., and 5X is the most horrible in terms of lag/slowness. My N5, which is still own and use is much faster with the same set of apps.. when using / launching apps side-by-side.

why are so few people acknowledging this? moreover, why are so few people livid about it? i am! i can't open the ****ing share menu from any app without 3 seconds of lag. it's bull****. the android experience i want is simple: 1) nexus line so i don't have to wait for updates and deal with bloat, 2) no lag because it's 2016 and 3) a phone that's not sized like a ****ing tablet. i don't understand why i have to use a surfboard to get the higher end hardware. it's bull****.

Camera 4k mode causes phone to crash + get very hot

My phone is stock and updated, purchased day 1 of release. I have videos set to record in 4k but after a few minutes use the phone starts to get pretty warm, few minutes more and its hot and then maybe a few mins more (say 6-10) it will lock up. The only thing I can do is reset the phone....
Does anyone else get this problem using the stock camera app ?

Are you running out of storage space by chance? I read that 4k videos are limited to 5 minutes but I've not tested that myself.

Loads of space as got the 32gb version of the phone. Its not complaining I'm out of space and I use google photos so just clears photos and videos once uploaded (it pops up and asks when I am low).
The heat lock up issue is the problem, everything else is working fine for me.

Camera weirdness

My 5x will take pictures on it's own in the middle of the night. They are dark, blank as the room is dark. sometimes 10-15 pics and videos of a very short length- 5-15 seconds. I am not rooted, store pictures in stock Google Photos, back up to Picasa and also have Moments installed. Any ideas? Thanks.
Move out of your house immediately!

Sacrifice your sleep for a night and stay up watching your phone, and doing something fun ofc, and you will see if its a demon, system bug, or your little bro/kid.
This happened to me too

Hello, the exact same thing happened to me to at night when my phone's flash was used while taking pictures. It happened a lot of times. Then i figured that if i take snaps from my phone while my phone's battery is <20% it results in darker images but no that wasn't the case. I don't know why it happened. Sometimes i can't see a thing on my phone after taking a picture and sometimes the image is darker and sometimes it's normal.
And one more thing....what if i told you i take picture from my Nexus 5X and the picture gets instantly deleted without doing anything
I even made a video of it

Google Fi support has seen it before, say they can fix it.

Which one are you talking about?
Hi! I have the exact same problem with any custom rom (nitrogen os and purenexus). Could you find a solution?

Problems with Gallery, GPS, slow SD card reading, Video recording, home not loading

after using this phone for 3 months, here are the problems I have found.
After every reboot, sorting of images in my gallery change. Most recent pictures and on top. they just get mixed and match. I use a SanDisk SD card. nothing is in order, I mean nothing. This is the thing I hate the most.
Gallery app updates itself pretty slowly, after taking a photo, it takes about 4 minutes to find that pic. in twitter app.

GPS is not a mess, it is mostly a punishment by a higher being. cursor flips other sides, it requires calibration all the time, when I turn right, it turns to left or doesn't even move. Sometimes it works, sometimes it works backward. This GPS losing me time every single day. Shame on you Xiaomi
-
it takes I'm not kidding, 10 minutes for my phone to load 200GB SanDisk card with 60gb data in it.
To boot the phone back from a reboot, I need to take the sim tray off, otherwise, the home-screen doesn't show up, I just see my wallpaper for 5 minutes. Even though the app I'm going to lunch is stored internally (let's say twitter) I cannot launch it before the sd card loads completely.
-
video recording option on the main camera app makes the phone freeze and brick. Yeah, just wanting to record a video bricked my one once. it was awesome. Had to format everything and start over.
-
Backspace key lags, sometimes doesn't recognize when typing fast. Not sure why, it is very odd.
Rooted with magist, TWRP using the stock ROM.
running Android 9, 128gb lavender
