Im having an issue with the "Albums" section of my Gallery. Every time I tap on "Albums" or want to add photos to an album that section force closes and takes me back to Gallery Home.
I have force stopped the service and tried again, I have also re-installed the OS.
Its the latest Orange UK build of Gingerbread.
Many thanks,

Forget Android Gallery... Quickpic is simply the best gallery viewer, period!

Are you rooted and/or unlocked? Have you tried fixing permissions? Have you tried clearing data by going to
[Settings > Applications > Manage applications]
then selecting the "All" tab and find Gallery and "Clear data"?
Is there any possibility the data might have been corrupted? Can you access the photos any other way?

I can access all my photos its literally just the "Albums" section like if I want to add photos. They updated it so that you can also get your Facebook albums. I haven't rooted my device and have also gone to Gallery under all applications and force closed and restarted, still getting the issue.
Is the Quickpic on Marketplace or is it an app on these forums?

QuickPic is in the market. Did you try the "Clear Data" button as well in Manage Applications?

I dont really like how Quickpic makes Albums but its a small thing, only other thing is that it can't retrieve fb albums and automatically upload photos that aren't already online but I can live with that.
I did ask customer services at Motorola and they just told me that my phone was faulty and needed repairs, but that means being without a phone for 2+ weeks.
I would greatly recommend Quickpic if anyone has been having the same problems, Motorola are crap for this issue.
Thanks for every ones help and let's hope this helps many more in the future.

There is currently not a Facebook app in the market. They haven't optimized it for Honeycomb yet, but you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143913&highlight=kanged and that should work. The only issue I have with it, is that the friends list part force closes.
They must have recently taken it down, thanx for the link tho

Use Friend Me
I use Friendcaster. Lots more options and when you say No Notifications..... it stops polling and giving you notifications. I notices a lift in battery when I uninstalled it. Friendcaster just seems nicer and smoother to me.

There is actually a Honeycomb/Tablet edition, though in beta...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handmark.friendstream&feature=search_result
Works well for me, and definately less crashes than the native Facebook for Android app...
I've actually gone so far as to uninstall the official Facebook on my Vibrant running CM 7. With the last update on July 18th, for some reason, even if you set it to never poll for notifications, never refresh, and not to sync, it still keeps the news feed open in the background and constantly refreshes it. I noticed huge battery drain one day when I took my phone off of the charger, barely used it all day, and later that night around 11 I had 14 percent battery warning. When I looked into the battery history, Facebook took up a whopping 81 percent of the battery drain on that particular charge.
Will stick to using the 3rd party options.

There are a lot of apps that you won't find in the market because they haven't been optimized for Honeycomb. I normally just install them on my phone, pull the apk, then transfer it to my tab. So far every app I tried worked just fine including fb and google voice.
Friendcaster for Tab seems great to me, but it loads continuously when I select the messages tab, not showing anything... if that'll be solved, and chat will be added, it will be the perfect FB app for me!
PS: anyone solved the messages issue?

Mine does that with messages too, and yes, chat is a must. At least chat works on the Facebook app though. That's about the only good thing about it. While we're on the subject of honeycomb apps and notifications not working; how hard is it for Words With Friends to get notifications to work?! Is it really that difficult? I play a word and THEN it tells me it's my turn.
This Facebook app works just fine in Honeycomb.

My Messages tab does that too, as does the Events tab. Very annoying. I really hope a new beta's released soon. I sent the dev a PM about it but haven't heard anything back yet.
Strangely enough, I've seen a walkthrough video of the app (on Android Central I think) which showed them using the Messages and Events tab both working fine.
EDIT: New beta just released fixes the Messages issue, but I still have problems with Events.

Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
No, it's just a screen with the contact's details on one tab, and the contact's call log on another one. I'm not using the social networking stuff such as Facebook, so there may be more there that's not showing for me.
Don't freeze stuff if you don't know what it is.. it's a sure fire way to screw things up.
Hi guys
After i updated from 2.2.2 to 2.3.4, the gallery on the version is all messed up, ie, no folders etc.
Everything is sorted via date......
Can anyone recommend a gallery viewer, or a fix, to be able to view the gallery via folders? (It does not provide that option when i go to sorting)
It makes it difficult searching for images located in different folders....
Thanks!

The first thing I do when installing a new rom is to let it build system files and then I open market once, accept the agreement, then reboot. Second thing? Freeze stock galleries and install quickpic.

Long time follower (pre "OG Droid" days) first time question poster. I was reading about the "Create Collage" feature on the Note 3 so I went to give it a shot. The problem is, that option doesn't appear in my menu. I'm completely stock, not even Rooted.
Any thoughts on what could be happening? It just seems so strange that this is completely missing. See for yourself in the attached screen shots.
Thanks
Have you selected at least 2 pictures yet? I just tried and mine works.
Edit: haha just actually looked at your screens. Yeah that's weird. Did you freeze or delete any Samsung apps?

I don't remember uninstalling any Samsung apps and the only disabled apps are Verizon bloat and the Kindle app. It feels like it's just missing somehow. I'm hoping to factory reset as a last resort.

On my gs3 in the gallery app it would have all my Picasa albums separated. Now on my gs5 all the pictures are showing in one big group. I'm guessing it's a bug or something but not sure if anyone else uses this and wanted to know if there's any way to change it. I spoke with Samsung and the told me "that software is written by Google", so obviously they are of no help and don't know what they're talking about.

I know picasa is from Google, but the gallery app is obviously written by samsung.
I don't use it for sharing or tagging, I just use it a free cloud for my pictures that integrates right into the gallery app.
If anyone knows of a similar service that works the same or better I'd definitely be willing to switch.
