Gallery Lag in JI6

Has anyone noticed some serious lag in the stock gallery after updating to JI6? Anyone know if there is a fix for this?
Thanks

Ive noticed it but do not know a fix for it. For some reason the CPU spikes a ton when opening the gallery. Sometimes it just freezes completely on my phone. maybe 1/6 times it does that.

I haven't seen any lag. I updated with Odin.
I also used OCLF app to root, lag fix and other tweaks. Installed clockworkmod recovery
My Vibrant is so damn fast now it's not even funny

i have the same lag in JI5

Mostly it hanged when u first open it..quite annoying

Yes. same here. Rooted and one click lag fix applied. it seems to be the only thing that lags right now.

YES i thought it was my vibrant but i guess not.
it freezes when you try to open it and its annoying!

I believe this really needs to be fixed. Its totally uneeded that a simple thing like the gallery causes me to reboot my vibrant when i jusy want to look at a damn PICTURE!!!!

*Had updated to JI6 via kies mini*
After a fresh reboot, the gallery opens w/no prob. 2nd & 3rd time-it'll lag for a while and the 4th + time, it's time for another reboot. Anyone have any suggestions for an alt gallery app?
Had absolutely no prob with the gallery prior to the update.

I have the same lag here too for some reason....almost seems like phone is freezing up loading the thumbnail images.....never happened before JI6 update, I do have OCLF V2 running and everything else is super fast....
Note: I was not running OCLF after going to JI6, i noticed the gallery lag then ran the lag fix but no change...

Wow this is my first time experiencing this after installing ji6. Never had this problem before on stock jfd and on eugenes roms.

I cringe now when I want to show someone something from my gallery.. Is this happening on every device? I had originally thought it may be something from me being rooted and with a lag fix.

Mine lags on the gallery and when I open the apps folder(section). If I start typing long messages it will stop and be a word or two behind. GPS is useless again and will even be a block or two behind where I am when I'm moving. The GPS says that I have a lock on 5-7 sats and the accuracy is only down to 3-500 feet this is why its a block behind.
today I turned on the map app while I was walking and it would have my speed at one mile per hour and then stop completley and a minute later it would show me at ten miles per hour to catch up. Its like it refreshes every 30 seconds to a minute so the accuracy suck.
This phone is really beginning to become a pain. and it definetly is not worth what I paid for it.

I've been facing the same issue. Just installed Bionix 1.9 stock and it's much better since..

a friend of mines who also updated to ji6 stated that it's becasue of the ji6's new task manager. he said that the lag only happens when he just killed all the apps. he said when ever he disables or chooses not to use the task manager, the lag goes away. so far this has worked for me.

I've had issues with the Gallery in JI6 on occasion so far. It usually freezes for a few minutes or less, only one time did I have to completely pull the battery.
Now as far as what ryan562 said his friend stated it's with the new task manager, I am not dismissing the possibility with that at all. But with my issues, I am not even using the Task Manager that came with JI6 nor does it run in the background/etc.
I'm not going to lose sleep over the small issue here, at least with me. I am waiting patiently for 2.2 Froyo and I'm sure things will be fine with it there when it's finished.

I'm not only getting lag in gallery, but bad lag sometimes in swype

It lagged for tens of seconds for me that I don't even touch the task manager settings

Strange "Froyo" Quirks... Already!

Installed the "official" update that was hosted on Google's servers, which worked like a charm... but...
The camera won't boot up? The phone doesn't seem to be running any faster thus far, even after moving all possible applications to the SD card. Also, the gallery shows no images.
When I hold down the camera button, or select the camera application, the phone vibrates once (to tell you the camera's booting up), the screen turns black, vibrates three times quickly, and flashes the force close screen instantaneously and returns to the home screen.
Hmmm....

I almost forgot to add: I still have the Touchwiz default issue, that is, the OS prompting me to set a default every so often when I hit the home button. I think I might have to wipe the phone.

I had similar problems so I wiped and did a clean install with Odin and now it works great!

weatherbug elite widget
i like the weatherbug elite app and widget, and for some reason the widget will not appear at all, since i updated.

I am in the process of backing up my stuff to do a factory reset to see if that solves the problem. I was waiting until this update was released before rooting. Is there an OCLF for this update?

i would suggest odining back to DI18 then odining http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209 see if this fixes your problems, i have 0 bugs with DK28.

After the factory reset, everything is working okay. I noticed that some of the prompts have strange translations, particularly when accessing the Firmware Updater under the Camera's setting menu: "It will occur additional fee. Will you continue?" The functionality is debatable at this point considering it runs into an error upon updating. Hm.
I will try Odin some other time when I have a few hours to brush up on flashing. I am not very familiar with hacking mobile phones in general, so I want to be better acquainted with the process before I dive into it. But a lag fix and bloatware delete are certainly in this phone's future!

Browser is really buggy for me. It takes up 70MB of RAM on start up and has the terrible checker boards effect.
GPS works perfectly for me on DK17 and 28.
However, it may be that I restored my data partition from a backup I made from DK17. I'll try running a factory reset and we'll see what happens.

I've noticed that when using on screen keyboard for a quick seach online, the on screen keyboard will not go away when pressing the back button sometimes. Anyone else?

I've still had some issues with the back button being unresponsive, perhaps to a lesser extent since Froyo, but I have gotten so used to it I can hardly acknowledge the problem based on recollection of testing the phone.
However, I noticed the Quadrant scores are very disappointing in both my own test and in user comments. I can't wait to root and lagfix this thing.
In addition, the physical keyboard still drops letters at random. It seems to have gotten worse since the update.

I did the exact same thing, but flashed my old DG27 to get my initial GPS fix in maps, then ODINed the new one.
Clean installs work wonders.

You mean root and artificially increase your Quadrant scores for bragging rights? There is no lag fix on the epic. The only "lag fix" is a "game Quadrant scores" fix.

Charging paused Error
Battery Temperature too high.
The battery is low. Please Recharge the phone.
I got this crazy error when charged to full. I'll reset my battery in recovery and see if i get this crazy error again.

One thing I've noticed is the battery icon does not update battery life sometimes. If I reboot the phone, the battery life will jump from full to half a battery.

Anyone try the mediahub? It says an urgent update needs downloaded from the market before using it.... but when you click ok... it can't find the update in the market. Hmmm?
Also... .GPS is dead for me too.... even tried Odin'ing back to DI18 and then DK28.... but that method failed a miserable death.... still hoping for a newer release soon... this one is still BUGGY!

I've got the same error with MediaHub. Looking for a Froyo apk now.
GPS is working fine for me - I had a 100% stock 2.1 that I did update.zip to Froyo. I hadn't even installed any apps or even loaded up my Google account. Literally bought the phone, waited for provision, then updated to Froyo.

What version of Media Hub are you running? Mine is working fine.

Complete DK28 issue list?

Does one exist? I'm interested in comparing the issues I've been having with others to see if they are unique to DK28 or if I'm alone as well as possible fixes.
Thanks.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

No such list,but the keyboard missing strokes is the one thats most wide spread,that and the checkerboard effect when zooming or scrolling in the browser (which has dissapeared for me,,,if you change lcd density to 200 or 210 it really dosnt happen at all for me),some have had gps issues,but isnt that some people on every phone,and every rom.There are some slight cases of 4g issues, very few people have a lag problem,this is believed to be a jit issue.

Keyboard missing strokes...maybe...
But my phone has started resetting randomly, the screen will go completely black with no way of getting it back without resetting it as well as calls not connecting on the first try. I have to hang up and call again.
Exactly how are those issues my fault?
I do agree that the DK28 build has its bugs....and thus far I've just dealt with them. But I would like to see if others are having similar issues.

I would ask your methods of installing I prefer to always do the initial with the ODIN tar or md5 file and have had 0 problems. Always wipe all there is no reason not to even the dalvik cache when installing custom roms. I don't use titanium backup or restore data from nandroid either as I find sometimes it restores too much info install mybackup pro works like a charm. Given all devices are not the same but given the fact we are not overclocking the minute difference should not effect this.

by lag are you talking about rotation speed? if so is there a way to fix the rotation speed?

Inconsistent Time stamps
The biggest bug I've seen on DK28 is that I get inconsistent time stamps on txt msgs and missed calls. But it only seems to affect my wife's number which is a stock epic. Doesn't make much sense to me but I just deal with it.

I have had issues with application stability. PowerAMP was so bad I had to uninstall it, the service was crashing when I was not even doing anything. The Market has crashed a few times, as has the camera. While in Camera, the link to the gallery/preview does not work until you have taken a picture that session.
Once I get the first app crash, others are not too far behind. A reboot fixes them, so I reboot ever other day or so. I also had it crash 3 times so bad that I had to pull the battery.
I updated by putting update.zip on the root of my SD card.

I had this issue on 2.1 too...only happened after I attempted to restore app data. If I did clean installs of my apps (on 2.1 or 2.2) I have yet to see this behavior.

Problems with Media

Here are some issues I've noticed with Media on my phone.
It happens completely at random.
Occasionally I will attempt to play a video file, or an MP3 file using the built-in software. The device will say "unable to play this file type". If I completely shut-down the phone, restart it, then I am able to play the files again. Like I said, happens completely at random, but I will usually have to reboot at least once every 3 or 4 days to resolve this issue.
Also, sometimes and also completely random, my ringtones will simply stop working. I still get a notification on the notification bar, and NoLed still gives me a notification, but no sound. Again, I have to reboot the phone to correct the issue.
Any ideas? Anyone else experience this?
My phone is the Bell 19000M on the latest factory Bell Froyo build with no root or lagfix or anything non-standard. I also noticed this behaviour on the last Froyo build (the one just before Christmas the bricked the phone).
TIA!

Backup data and factory reset as first step .

I've done this several times, each time I don't even restore a backup, rather I manually drag and drop necessary files back onto the device, and manually re-install applications as necessary. But I appreciate the reply.

I can confirm these issues on a i9000 european uk with jvk gingerbread.

Dammit, that's not good news!

This happens maybe once a week or even more infrequently. I had the media not playing twice in 6 weeks and going out of video, closing with task manager and then back in fixed it.
I had the ringtone bug last week and going in to sound and checking which sound was selected showed the circular icon was blue, sound played ok when I selected it again. On froyo, sometimes I could not select any ringtone that was my own, the blue icon would not work.
This happens very infrequently but it is annoying having missed calls with no ringtone played to alert.
I still have the wifi stopping working in perfect reception at times too.

When this happens on my phone, I had tried going into Task Manager to end all active applications, and clear Level1 and Leve2 memory, but it didn't seem to make a difference for me. Only rebooting the phone did.

I am also experiencing this issue.
I am running stock AT&T Captivate.
I have google music, double twist, and mypod installed as well.
Note: I also notice a problem when I unplug power or headphones it sometimes starts playing music.

Folks, I had the same problem with the media files (video and audio)...occasionally had to reboot to play anything on the phone....scoured the internet and found an obscure reference to the official Twitter application causing this issue (was buried deep inside a forum post). It didn't make much sense to me, but I had the application installed, so I decided to take a shot anyway. My media playback problems disappeared after uninstalling it. Haven't had to reboot my phone even once for this problem ever since. Thinking back, my issues started right about the time that I installed the application.
Anyway, I'm no expert so can't guarantee that the source of your problem is the same, but that is what was definitely causing my problem. I switched to a different third party twitter app, and all has been good ever since.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I am also with Bell Mobility and have an unmodified SGS with the latest firmware available to Bell customers

[Q] Slow phone.

I have found my slow to get increasingly slower and slower, I've removed tons of apps and all. Even overclocked the phone occassionally hangs on a black screen when I open texting and other apps, slow to close out of stuff. Is it possible when I SBFed it may have been corrupted? (dled on a bad connection). And could SBFing and factory resetting the phone fix the problem? Just wanna see if anyone else has had this problem besides me before i do the extreme since backing up apps takes a while on my phone.

If you dont have a task killer i wuold try one, also try just rebooting your phone every once in a while, it can really help. If none of that is working then a factory reset should do the trick.

Yeah i just re flashed and cleared and all was good.
