Not for me. But noticed once that an photo I took took like a minute to show in gallery.

Nope. Works fine without a glitch.
I don't have any problems simmilar to yours even if sometimes it takes some seconds before its refreshing the new pics in gallery
Hmmm, I did a factory reset so hopefully that will help. Ill post back with the results

I have tried this one. Not that helpful for Arc (maybe we need more options in the slide bar?)
IIRC, the write/read speed was 5/15 MB/s before I use SD speed increase. And after trying 1k,2k,3k, and 4k buffer, the read speed is about the same (4.8~5.7) and probably have a slight boost at the first second of writing. The read speed increased a bit to 17~20 MB/s.

For me sometimes after putting new photos or videos on my arc, it doesnt refresh gallery and all pictures are empty. I need to hit taskkiller and reopen gallery to fix that one, maybe we've got same prob.
Maybe the gallery thumbnails are bugged, causing a strange behaviour(albums appearing and dissapearing). You can erase them this way:
Go to SD(with Astro or similar) - Android - Data - com.sonyericsson.gallery - delete "cache" folder.
Then restart the gallery and let it load everything.
I hope it helps.
The stock android gallery is pretty slow and dreadful, it used to cause my htc hero to grind to a halt, and it's still not exactly snappy on the arc.
If you want a fast gallery app, try quickpic from the market.
Still got the problem... cant take screenshots on phone either so cant show how it looks. Ive put a 32gb card into the phone would that make a difference?? just took about 10 pics tonite and cant view any of them.... broken image thumbnail pic.
finally i found my solution!
my scans found no media, nothing in the gallery, nothing in the music player and i was going crazy, but then i found this:
If there is a (possibly empty) file named ".nomedia" (without quotations, and make sure you put the dot as the first character) in a folder of your card, then this folder WILL NOT BE SCANNED (if there is a .nomedia in the root of the SD card, then the SD card will NOT be scanned).
So make sure you delete any unwanted of those and then try
"Rescan Media" by Aditya Talpade (android market)
Disable Facebook inside Xperia, if you dont want to suffer from gallery load times, the gallery tries to sync a new folder called "new from friends" each time.
I didn't have a problem with the gallery till I got the 2.3.4 update. Like most, I have the same problem, it takes time to open a snap. Sometimes it's displayed as a broken image.
What would be the best alternative to the stock gallery app?
I've got one other problem. I had formatted my phone a month back. Before that, I backed up my photos. When I transferred them back, the order got messed up in the gallery and so are the dates. Anyway to rectify that?
Any reason why my gallery thumbnails are taking forever to load?? I originally had pudding 4.5.91 - 2.3.4 and flashed Ninja SF 4.5 onto my phone a few hours ago. When I had pudding's 4.5.91 gallery was smooth, very fast and responsive. Now with Ninja SF, thumbnails take years to load and it is much much slower... ANy reason why this would be? I work at AT&T and showing off my gallery is something I do on a daily basis, this is extremely important for me.
Do u have them saved to internal or external memory?

Go to sdcard/dcim and cancell folder thumbnails. Reboot and try.

I got so sick of the stock gallery app and it's thumbnail system. I froze it with TiBu and use Quickpic exclusively.
Deleted thumbnails and no fix!! Can't seem to figure out what is causing this. Any other ideas?

I have all pics on sd-ext and deleted thumbnail folder. Upon reboot same issue and thumbnail folder is completely gone didn't regenerate itself.
Sorry for double post. This is just annoying especially for my job.

when you delete thumnbeil firs start gallery maybe is slow, you test two times
Suppose I can try that because just deleted both thumbnails and rebooted no fix. The thumbnail folder recreates on the sdcard and only recreates the first 7 thumbnails in my gallery. Thumbnail folder did not recreate in sdcard-ext, this is where the pics are located.
You think opening gallery after I delete thumbnails will do trick?? Will post screenshot of gallery in a minute.

Two things. Did you have pictures on sdcard or sdcard-ext? Gallery is still extremely slow after couple reboots and deletion of thumbnail folder.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
i have photo in sdcard and sdcard ext.
gallery is slow first start? if it is slow first start after delete thumbnail it ok, you attempt that gallery make new thumnbail.
if it slow at second start the problem not are thumnbail, try download alternativ gallery (gallery + market)
For thumbnails to work I have to pictures in internal sdcard and I do not want that, may try new gallery such as QuickPic. If there is a way I'd like to get them on the sdcard-ext and still be able to use stock gallery because I love the new gallery but if not I suppose I can go with QucikPic. Please let me know if any of you have a solution for fixing my thumbnails while having my pics on the external sdcard instead of internal phone storage.

maybe you sd is old and slow, it's possible?
Very possible actually. I'll get a new one today and see how that goes. Thanks for the help! Anybody know anything about fixing up battery life issues with Ninja SF 4.5 and Faux's newest OC kernel flashed over it as well as Juggernaut's battery fix mod. I had GREAT battery life before I flashed these and now I hate my battery life.
How old is old though, it's only been probably 9-10 months with the sd card??
I'm trying to hide some pictures from folders that I need from the Gallery app.. I used to do this by adding a ".nomedia"folder.. But since I got the galaxy s3 it doesn't seem to be working that way.. I can't delete the pictures or the apps won't work.. Does anybody have a fix for this.. Without downloading a application for it? Thanks for any help you can give me!

just add the .nomedia file to the folder.

How are you adding the file? Maybe I can walk you through it... check you private messages if you need help still
After you add the .nomedia file, clear gallery cache, reboot, and see if the pictures are there.
I did... I have never had a problem doing this before.. Until the galaxy s3 its soo strange., I appreciate everyone's help thank you so much.. I just can't figure this out. I will post some screen shots

You could also try deleting those pictures. Then they're sure to not show up.

I just sent you a link in a private message with the nomedia file i created - maybe the one your creating has a permissions issue, so maybe if you download that one and put it in your directory, then clear the data and reboot it will fix your issue...
I had this problem too. Download hide it pro and you can set pics to not show in the gallery.

I think your problem is using myfiles to create the file - try using a different file explorer - i use root explorer but there are others ones like astro that should work, then clear the data and reboot....
If you look myfiles doesnt see my .nomedia file but root explorer does:

If you clear data it will not delete your photos, it will just make gallery rebuild its database of the files...
Why are you adverse to downloading an app to accomplish your goal? There are free apps that do what you need and with a lot less time and hassle.

Bumping coz i want to know the answer as well! I cant get calibre to recognise the tablet and so cant use that either!
Try creating an empty .no media file in the covers folder then rebooting the tablet.

Just to clarify the above poster, get a file browser app if you already don't have one installed (I use EsFileExplorer).
1. Navigate to the folder where you have all your audiobooks stored
2. Tap the menu button > New > File
3. Rename the file ".nomedia" (no quotes)
You don't need to put anything in the file and now all the files in that folder will not show up in your gallery.
Thanks u guys rock!

So I have an instagram. It automatically saves the picture to my gallery àpp whenever I post it on IG. I backed up all my photos and unrooted, and went back to stock everything. Now, I've posted something on instagram. So now I have two photos in my instagram folder in the gallery. When I save the instagram photos from the old backup into the same folder,it causes my gallery app to crash.

I used a cloud service like Copy. (Copy is an app. Just to clarify) I noticed if I delete the backed up pictures from the gallery after it crashes (I use es file explorer to delete the pictures because the gallery won't let me) the gallery becomes usable again. Also,other galleries like quick pic are fully usable with the new pics added

I would Luke to state that I've resolved the issue. The thing was that I was transferring the old IG folder onto a path on my phone then I'd move the pics manually to the folder which was already on my phone. This time,I just moved the backed up folder (with same name as the folder on my phone) and it simply merged the pics beautifully as one folder. Thanks once again.
