Photo album freeze - HD2 General

Very often, when I browse photos in the htc album (the one that is part of HTC Sense), everything "freezes up" for about 20 to 30 sec, and than all back to normal.
I don't have a lot of photos (around 10).
Can anyone please help on this issue.
Thanks

Camera

Is there anyway to speed up the capture time on the camera? When I take a photo, I press the button, then the screen pauses, but the photo isn't actually take until a couple of seconds after the screen freezes (so the picture on the screen is not actually what is being taken). This makes it hard to take a good photo
Yeap I would appreciate it too if someone could point this out.
Is this a hardware limitation? Or O2 funnily made it this way on the camera app?
Anyone have an idea?
Isn't this normal for camera phones? It's a lot faster if I take 640x480 pics. So I'm guessing the camera immediately compresses and writes the jpg data onto storage instead of keeping in RAM then writing in the background.

Tumbnails

Hello,
For some reason all my album tumbnails are corrupted. Meaning the picture on the album folder is full of colored lines, sometimes the whole picture, sometimes half a picture corupt.
Anyone any idea how to restore the images on my album tumbnails?
Do you mean when you scroll to 'Pics & Vids' then click 'Albums' and view the camera shots in thumbnail view?
I have this same problem too - it has only happened recently after I deleted the album cache on my device as I was running low on memory.
As soon as I went back into my Albums, the cache file size would obviously start increasing again, but only the first 10 or 15 images in the thumbnail view now display properly, the rest appear black with the coloured lines running across like you mentioned
At first thought it might be a memory issue and it couldn't handle saving too many thumbnails, but I have since freed up some more memory (50+meg) by deleting Google Maps, Opera cache etc and still have the issue so cant be that.
Hopefully someone else can be more helpful
Same issue idd...
Anyone know a solution for this?

Photo Album Refuses to load up[TMOUS]

Rom: EnergyRom Cookie Energy Jul 08 2010 WWE

Everything else on the phone works well apart from the photo album, it just refuses to load up at all, and i cannot even open up pictures through explorer.
It's really frustrating as all hell..
remove all your pics off your sd to your computer. mkae sure there are no pictures on the card. Take apicture with your camera and see If it can view it now. I had the same problem untill I found out one of the pictures were causing photo album to crash. I went through 2 phones before I realised the problem was just one picture.

Thanks man, It worked. Found out it was this huge 500meg video i recorded the other day.

Gallery just plain does not work.

9 out of 10 times, nothing loads in the gallery. Sometimes the folder shows up but no pictures, and sometimes just the yellow/black background. I can reboot my phone but the problem will persist again after leaving it on for awhile.
Anyone else having this problem?
I am with Virtuous 9.0 and 9.5 which uses the HTC Gallery. Only folder it displays is the camera shots folders. There are a couple of other folders on my phone that won't shot up (like my DroCap folder).
the 3d gallery is total garbage.
Believe it or not, the stock gallery that came with the espresso sense on the Mytouch slide was better than the 3d gallery. At least all the pictures showed up and it wasn't dog crap slow.
Do you guys have tons of pictures on your phones?
I may have 100 seperated into folders on my sd card. Just wondering if the amount of pics may be the problem.
Have over 300 pictures in my gallery and MOST of the time it works just fine. Sometimes it will open up and not display anything. A force close and a cache clear typically fixes that though.
I've also noticed mine sometimes does not load any pictures and I have to close it and try again. It's been working pretty good the past few days though.
Any chance at getting the old-school gallery version on these G2s? I tried QuickPic and really liked it, but the only downfall is that it took a while to generate thumbnail images when you launched it. Worse of all, it seemed to do that every time I started that application, but it is better than the 3-D gallery.

Here is a thread for the old 2d gallery.
I tried it but I was too lazy to let it make thumbnails of all my pictures and I nandroided back. I may try it again if there are good results.

You could try clearing cache for the gallery. Settings - manage applications - all - gallery then clear cache.

When it happens, use Rescan Media. It will scan your phone and show up all of your pictures and videos.

I don't think it has something to do with the quantity. The 1st time it occured to me it was 10 days after I got my phone and I had something like 50 pics in it.
From what I've read since this is a well-known bug.

Note 4 (SM-N910T) no Gallery App thumbnails, very confused

Hi everyone -
It's been a while since I've been around these parts, but I recently switched from my Note 3 to the Note 4 just a week or so ago, and having only a single issue that is perplexing me that I would be very grateful if anyone knows how to troubleshoot. I've attached a screenshot of my current hardware/firmware setup in case this is needed.
Basically, my stock Gallery app doesn't show thumbnails of anything. When I open the Gallery, I can see all the sub-sections just fine (i.e. camera, movies, gifs, pictures, etc), but can't actually see a sample thumbnail from any of those sub-sections.
If I click on one of the sub-sections (for example, Camera), I can see all the files that exist in there, but still no thumbnails. It's reading all my media files just fine, the phone is "seeing" them all.
Even weirder still is that if I click on the very first picture file in that Camera sub-category, it opens the picture just fine. HOWEVER, if I try to zoom on the picture, the screen instantly goes black. Once I zoom back out, I can see the full picture again. Try to zoom in, goes black; zoom back out, see it just fine.
I currently am running a 128gb U1 Samsung MicroSD card in the phone, and have everything saved there. But I've also tried changing the settings so the phone saves a camera shot to the internal storage and the same thing still happens (no thumbnails in the Gallery or the sub-section, and no ability to zoom on the file).
I'm lost here. I've never had this issue with my LG Chocolate, S2 or Note 3. Short of a hard reset, any ideas? The phone was brand new. Truly, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nobody? Any ideas? Please....
First try a factory reset, if that does not fix your issue then download stock firmware from sammobile and flash it with odin. you can youtube "how to flash stock firmware with odin" to get more details.
