Hi all loving this new phone, a few bugs for me, nothing major like i had with my crappy n97.
1st off does anyone who has the facebook app have a problem viewing other peoples photos ( skipping from one to the next) mine just flashes the windows loading icon in the middle and does nothing else.
second the clock keeps flipping back an hour or so when i alternate between screens.
just a few niggles, i'm mostly happy
oh and if anyone has a link to a site where i can get some free apps that'd be nice.
Cheers
Phil.
The facebook app as a whole is entirely rubbish, and appears to have been written by a drunk monkey. Most people tend to prefer using touch.facebook.com (or m.facebook.com if you prefer a simpler interface). Add it to your bookmarks and add a shortcut to it on the homescreen and you'll barely notice it's not a standalone app.
touch.facebook.com does the job thankyou.
Same phot problem here, its indeed rubbish!
Also video upload doesn't work
Just a quick post, wife wanted picasa sync on her slide so I pulled the 3dgallery from my nexus and installed in on her slide, works pretty good except 1 of her picasa folders has 1000 photos in it, that seems to slow down the slide loading it, her other folders with less seem to load right up pretty quickly.
Didnt know if anyone else was interested in it so figured I would post that it worked.
Cool
Cool, would it be possible to post the File, I would like to check it out...Thanks
sure, I just did a quick google search for it as I wasnt sure if it could be posted here..should be able to but wasnt sure..anyways I found where they also did it for the droid, just follow his video and your all set.

Thanks for the info,however after installing and trying it runs just as slow on the slide as it does on the 2.1 ports for g1 and mt3g.don't know how it loads on nexus one but the regular gallery is fine for me so I'm going to unninstall but its nice to know we can use this if we choose.
dont uninstall it yet, give it time to load and honestly it gets faster..I assumed it was cause she had a gaint folder, but it was slow for the first several minutes
Thanks I loaded and it runs fine on my slide
Hey thanks for the info, Just installed it and like everything else it is flying alone fine for me even with 1000+ pictures. I got to say this phone just gets better every day.
i installed 3dgallery the first day. if it does slow to a crawl, kill all nsed apps or restart the phone and it will fly.
so i installed the 3D gallery but for some reason it didn't replace the 2d gallery and now it wont uninstall either of them. Any solutions to that?
hope sum1 has a solution!
Working flawlessly on my slide

think you need to be rooted if you arent.
if you are then you can just "adb pull Gallery3d.apk" then , if you want it to replace the regular gallery, rename Gallery3d to "Gallery.apk" then install the app again, and it should upgrade the previous gallery to gallery3d

has anybody gotten this version of the gallery to work on the slide? is it more stable than the fixed camera 3d gallery posted in this thread?

I am having a gallery issue where I select a picture and and different picture loads. Sometimes from the same album or different album. Shutting down sometimes resolves the issue or a soft reset and sometimes it does not. Sometimes I have to go into USB mode and add or delete a picture for ot to work properly again. One time the images in my download album al appeared blurry. I downloaded a picture from my email and then they all appeared normal again. Anyone else have this gallery bug?

Another one of those mind boggling simple bugs in Gingerbread/Nexus S.
Yes, I've seen similar, in that if I take a picture, it often won't show in the gallery unless I open it via a file explorer app from the sdcard.
I haven't tried forcing a media scan manually (there are apps for that), to see if that addresses it.
The Nexus S feels much more like a BETA product (software wise) than I recall the Nexus 1 feeling.

I had this exact same problem. You have to delete all of the thumbnails for your photos so that they reload. The only thing is, the thumbnails are no longer stored in the DCIM folder like they were pre-Gingerbread. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly where they're stored - I used root explorer to find them and delete them.
/Android/data/
You will see a folder called 'com.cooliris.media' delete it. The gallery app will regenerate your album thumbs.

This problem has been reported to Google. Please visit the link and star the report to bring more attention to it!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13419 Thanks.
I mean wth do we have to go through all that to see our pics... they took forever to fix the text issue they said they have a fix for which we haven't received. The fix for blurry mms is fixed thank god. Now this? Yeah the N1 did feel like a better product but the updates helped that one too. These are stupid things that shouldn't be an issue though.

This issue happens on and off; it's quite absurd. My pictures are once again not opening to the correct photos. As I've said before, it's stuff like this (among a slew of other issues and glitches) which make Gingerbread, and to some degree Android, feel like a second rate experience.
Has anyone also experienced that sometimes pictures aren't clear in the gallery? Often, the picture will come up unclear, but after a second, will be clear as it's meant to be. But sometimes the clarity doesn't happen.
Does it have anything to do with the internal memory or something again (similar to the random ringtone change issue)?
Is this yet another glitch of Android?
Edit: I should mention this is not the MMS issue which is often mentioned. I'm talking about regular photos that are taken with the Camera. Those sometimes don't clear up either.
Yeah, I get this too.
I wait until all the pics are done downloading from the SD card... then I pick the picture.

It happens to me randomly even long after the SD card has loaded.
Why is the gallery reader like this anyway, where it is blurry at first, then clear?
Promise you its not androids fault. You will never EVER have a phone with HTC SENSE do that.

My gallery just freezes when trying to load. Sometimes the newest downloaded or pictures just taken won't show up, its random.

The low res fade into higher res gallery quirk is more of a feature and is how the gallery always has shown photos even back on the nexus one. It allows quick flipping enough photos without having to insanely cache everything in full from the start. It only should take a second to flick over though.
I'm loving the nexus s gallery performance. I'm sorry to hear some aren't as thrilled.
One if the posters spoke about this stuff not happening in htc - that's rubbish, the 3d gallery acts the same there too, only worse, because oh the lack of hyper fast inand. And the htc gallery is rubbish, it struggles to even show thumbnails if you have too many pics. I speak from experience owning the desire hd, which is the most powerful htc phone to date.
The wrong photo issue is completely fixed by clearing the photo cache and then restarting the device. It didn't clear up until the restart, for some reason.
I have some issues with the gallery as well. But I must say that it performs 10X better then it did on my N1, it was sooo slow and laggy on that thing!!!
Get JustPictures! from the market, way better that Gallery3d imo, plus you can access your picasa, flickr, facebook, smugmug, etc pics from there as well.
Android Gallery sucks ... It just sucks. It does not display in high quality, 16 bits instead of 24 bits. You will see terrible color banding on gradient colors.
Google just lied when they told us everything is 32 bits on Android 2.3.
Nah, that's not true.
I hate that because HTC Sense gallery is much better.
Skip that 3D animation transition, it is an image gallery. Without high quality output, that's no good.
JustPictures is the same, it still display terrible color banding.

I'm very happy with the Gallery performance, and as has been said the low res image fading to high res is a feature of the Android gallery, it's always done that on every handset I've owned.
The gallery has it's share of quirks/bug in the NS version of it, but agreed with others, the fading is a design feature, not a bug.
Has anyone encountered the situation wherein even the application images are in your gallery?
Not sure if this is the right place to ask or maybe move it to the apps section if need be. Ever since I got the updated Gallery app through August update all my pictures seem to be imported automatically to it, what exactly do I mean by this? Whenever I launch the Camera app and scroll through my pictures through the app it shows all recent pictures on my phone, before the update it would only show pictures/videos taken through the camera app, I would like to keep it that way but haven't managed to revert it, any clues?
Wish I could answer, just installed the update and it's a disaster, what were they thinking, tiny thumbnails and you can't read the album names! Dark grey font on a black background... DOH

If you pinch out on the album view it will give you near enough the same view as before, only problem I have, as already stated, is the black text on dark grey background, although that's probably the themes fault.

So no one else lost the feature of scrolling through the in-app camera gallery and just having content taken with the camera? cause I really hate having to go through all my stuff there to find a picture I took.

No mine still works fine, although if I'm using the camera from the lock screen it will only let me scroll through the pictures I've just taken, not previous ones.

I wonder how I messed it all up lol. I just tried that way, running the app from the lockscreen and I still get every single picture on my phone.
Any Luck?
I am facing exactly the same issue.
All my screenshots, whatsapp, gallery pics and everything are populated in the gallery when I access through camera. This is highly annoying.
Earlier it was only camera pictures which were shown, is there anyway to fix this? Like installing the previous version or changing the access folder only to camera?

I found no solution, had to just deal with it. And I tried to somehow set the app to only access the Camera pictures when browsing through the camera app but no such luck.
Is this issue without any resolution yet? I know this have been posted a few months ago, I've searched everywhere but I didn't find any solution, did anyone else get some more luck than me?
