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 It looks really crappy and outdated.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?
hi all
if this has been asked a million times, i do apologies.
is there a known camera fix that makes the camera suck less ?
Yes buy a new phone

Figured as much
Have to agree with that solution.
Also, you can try out other camera apps on the Play Store. part of the reason why the GNex, the N4, and N5 all have sucky cameras is that Google keeps making a sucky default camera app.
Am I missing it or something because I cant figure out how to show my picasa pics in the gallery.
I also remember this feature from previous android phones, including all past Galaxy phones. I wonder why they took it out.
I remember back on another device, a certain asop ROM didnt have it and I had to use an alternative gallery from the play store. I think 3d gallery or something

Yeah I am thinking of going with Quickpic.
It's a shame Samsung took this feature out.
Just wondering if I need to download a separate app to do that.
+1 to this question!
No, the default app only has classic panorama mode, no 360°. You'll need another app (like Google camera) to do that.

Cardboard camera works great. I upload 360 photos on facebook all the time.

Captured some great shot on Google Camera.
Works Perfectly.
Samsung takes really decent 360 images ..i wasn't able to achieve the same standards using google camera or street view .anyone ever got a decent one from op3 ? Can you share ?
Never been to big of a fan of Google photos. Don't know about anyone else but I think the layout is awful. I'm using this quickpic mod that I found today on here by wstxda. You can find the app here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-gallery-quickpic-based-4-7-4-t3790425
I also don't use yt music for music that I have on my phone or at all. I have Spotify for streaming and I use Poweramp because I bought the pro version years ago. Found a nice free app that's almost as good I'd suggest called, Musicolet which you can find on the Google play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet
Figured I'd just leave you guys a couple suggestions for better apps that don't require root [emoji6]

Thanks brother, much appreciated!
I'd use exodus or app manager to check for trackers and such
Thanks though I too do not use Google photos as good As it might be. I'm trying to stay gappa free even on stock.
