D2 camera/gallery problems

Ok so my g/f snapped like 6 pictures at an event she attended yesterday on her droid 2. She came home complaining the pictures weren't appearing in the gallery. I figured it was user error since she's new to the droid thing. I checked out the gallery and sure enough there was 6 gray squares in the place of the pictures. I rebooted and they were gone. Is this something that i should get a replacement over or what. I snapped a pic after the reboot and it was fine but i don't want her to have to wonder if the picture came out. There's also been a problem after she takes a pic it not appearing in the gallery right away. Just seems buggy any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Lmao exactly! We shouldn't have to roll the dice on losing special moments like that! Sux.

I had a similar problem, but I think it's distinct.
I discovered that deleting the photos through the file app (without a special file manager installed) doesn't instantly delete the thumbnails in the photo gallery, so it will act as if the photos are still there, and if you take new photos before it regenerates its thumbnail cache (or whatever it actually does), the new photos will error for a while too, until it straightens out once and for all which photos really exist and which don't.
Curiously, I too came across the error taking pictures of a chick's ass. Maybe there's a link here.

There is a problem where the gallery doesn't refresh. I heard that it will refresh within a few hours on its own or you have to reboot in order to see new pics in the gallery.
SDrescan from the market is a workaround. It rescans the SD card which refreshes the gallery.

can google please fix the damn gallery lag problem

we're supposed to have the top of the line google phone, yet my gallery takes foreever to open and lags all the time. its so damn frustrating to have to wait for like 20 seconds just to view a picture i just took. it worked just fine before the 3.2.2 update. it seems like the phone is getting worse with each update instead of better. GOOGLE fix the **** that we need to work instead of other stupid things that no one can use right now

i switched to quickpic https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder and never looked back. superfast and displays the picture with more detail whenyou zoom in.

I agree with quickpic. I made the mistake of removing gallery, only to find out later other programs needed it for some function other than displaying pictures.

yeah the 3d gallery is a fail imo. luckily there is quickpic. havent had any problems yet w/o gallery3d.apk

I think I had some error when trying to send a pic or video or sound recording with stock messaging. I'm guessing it uses it to convert SMS to mms.
I don't know if it can be done but it would be nice to have a setting to change file associations with. More than what can be done now.

[Q] Nexus 7 gallery animation bug

Hello All, jam new here.
So i have an issue with with my nexus 7.
Its not a big problem but making me nervous when something goes wrong. After I installed and used this app: screenshot ux trial, my gallery got buggy. Once I took a screenshot of gallery, all the animation in gallery now is bugged. Just after click a photo while it should zoom smoothly, it starts blinking screen, just blinking twice the older picture.
So how I can fix it. Please help.

Uninstall the app that caused the problem.

Question about updated Gallery app

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?

Camera/gallery crashing - no error message

Hi all,
Sometimes, when I try to take photos with the built-in camera app, the app closes and doesn't save the picture (see the link). However, I don't know if the problem is with the camera app or gallery. Once, when this problem happened, I tried to take a picture inside WhatsApp and it worked just fine.

I bought my S10+ during Black Friday and the only other thing that caught my attention is that sometimes it requires my pin instead of my fingerprint. In my S6 it only happened when the phone restarted, but I don't know about the S10. If it is the same case then the phone is restarting randomly and that is worrisome.
Thanks in advance,
Luiz

Sounds like it might be defective and a warranty claim is needed. However, first try flashing the currenr firmware with Odin and see if that fixes it.

Are you using a theme?
I am using synergy, sometimes when a app updates it will crash, i have to remove the theme overlays and reinstall and rebuild the theme.
Also when i used ADB to remove gallery because i use Google Photos. I couldn't use the camera either so i had to reinstall Gallery. You could try uninstalling updates from the app settings and let it update again, see if the issue persists.

I may try that, as the other option of flashing the firmware is a little bit more tricky. However, I don't use any theme and it is pretty much the same as out of the box.
I confirmed with my wife and she is having the same camera problem, with the cellphone at random times asking for her pin instead of the fingerprint.

i had the same issue before and wiping cache from boot-loader solved the issue for good
