Anybody else's G2 load the gallery extremely slow? It just started happening tonight and I did a hard reset but it didn't fix the problem.
Yeah. Its slow. The more pics and vids the slower it'll load.

Mine also is slow. Reminds me of my old crappy phones. I would expect more from the G2 on this subject.
Slow at stock speeds. Ok when overclocked. Pretty sure the faster your SD card, the faster gallery will load. The SD card that come with our phones isn't all that great.

Mine JUST started becoming slow after the ota update. Pretty sure it has something to due with the new update because it was perfect before.

Here's what I do to keep my gallery fast... Well, in a way.
The gallery automatically updates to your Picasa web albums. I highly recommend Picasa. You can also download a desktop client that is a great picture manager. I store ALL my pictures on Picasa web albums. I even purchased the extra 20 or so gigs of storage for $5. Totally worth it.
So I keep one folder (the camera folder) with my recently taken pictures. When it gets to about 15-20 pictures I use Picasa Tool Pro to upload them to a Picasa web folder called G2 Pictures. Then from there I can create different folders for different types of pictures and categories and move them there.
So when I open my gallery it only loads the picture that represents each album, instead of all of them. Then when I open each individual album it downloads them from Picasa. So this way I have access to ALL my pictures all the time, save space on my phone, and the gallery stays running fast. The downside is that when you open a specific album it takes a sec to download all the pictures. But I haven't found this to be a problem.
So yeah you might want to try this. It keeps my gallery fairly fast and I have hundreds if not thousands of pictures.
Well just my .02.
Someone please help! Why doesn't any image show up at all? I've searched the forum and googled. When I go to the camera from the gallery screen an a go back to gallery after taking a pic. There is a list sdcard, camera, photo after few seconds it all disappears. It seems I am the only one with such problem. Currently I access my photos through the camera program.
How can I get the gallery program to pick up my photos?

Anyone had same issues?

I'm not having the issue, but could it simply be a corrupt cache? Try removing /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media and letting it rebuild.
Thanks. Camera app reading my SDcard so I ended up just formatting my SD card and started working. Now it works.

Download sdrescan, your pics should show up after running that.

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?
