You're not the only one. Sony's apps ( Album, Movies, Walkman, PSM ) have always been Xperia's strong features. I don't care too much about Movies app, but Album and Walkman ? Best I've ever used. Good design, great performance, sufficient features, unified user experience.
Its amazing cool i show it the other day to my friends and they were like "waattt" so impressed :thumbup:

You like just because you not yet familiar with Xperia Album, use longer and you cant take note 2 album anymore . .
Nope, you are not the only one. I like Sony Album too. If can they add in sort features, it will be perfect.
I love all the stock Sony apps, they have great designs. :good:
Not keen on the Album app.

I unfortunately do not like it and have been a long time user of QuickPic. My main reason for disliking the app is that there doesn't appear to be a setting which allows me to sort my pictures and thus they are all jumbled. There does not appear to be the option to disable the app either. Any suggestions?
I only use quickpic for moving and hiding pics and folders. It's basic, baggy and awful generally.
As for the stock album app, it's amazing. You can view your pics in folders or in the default view, zooming in and out shows more and less thumbnails to view which looks absolutely brilliant and it's super fast to view online albums like Facebook too.
The album app does not need to stop its perfectly fine being in the background just like all android apps are. Gone are the day's of needing to kill apps. Live in the future man, and open app is a fast app!

Yes and no, would be much better if you could select folders to include or exclude. Because then it would have saved me 2.3 hours moving my music off the card, and back on with Sony media sync. That Sony USB interface to micro sd in the phone is damn slow.

I wholly agree with you too. I use WhatsApp extensively to send picures and i end up with hundreds of duplicates in the album app which is rather frustrating. I agree that having folder ability would be much easier to handle the pictures.

You can get the same effect by swiping horizontaly. Then you get level by level zoom, just to let you know
I already loved the album app but had never tried senseme until now and damn thats really awesome, wp sony!!
I know it is a workaround in a sense but doesn't the .nomedia file work to prevent unwanted folders being scanned?

Today, I opened gallery after a long time. It was full of all sorts of pictures! If you watch any kind of movie, gallery saves few pictures from that! I don't know how this happens, because there are no settings to avoid this.
So did you watch a p0rn clip and it shows up in Gallery? LoL

Add a blank file named .nomedia to any directory you don't want Gallery to index.
This can also speed the start-up process.

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?
This thing is able to display photos from my laptop without setup. They just show up in photos.
Is this a feature of other phones before s3?

The new TouchWiz Gallery app builds on the stock ICS offering with a handful of new features. Firstly, if you’re using a Wifi network with any DLNA devices already connected, you’ll see them listed alongside your on-device albums (and any Picasa or Google+ photos, of course). Press the menu key and you’ll find the option to manually scan for nearby DLNA devices.

In my gallery it lists an album with the name of my pc. Try enabling nfc. I was prompted enable it when setting up wallet and they showed up after that.
My computer is set to share files and pictures for homegroup on windows 7. So this might help too.

Love Quickpic, but it has no support for Picasa.
I love QuickPic and use it regularly. I just wish I could find an app that showed gallery in a hirearchial structure. ie. I have pics in several folders by event under a folder 2011, however you don't see the parent folder structure organization, so they aren't as informative. Yes, I know I can embedded the dates in the exif data, but dates were just the easiest example, could also be done for wallpapers based on category, but I dropsync both tablet and phone images on the phone and have same folders under each parent directory.
Haven't found any other app that does this, unless it's a feature I missed in QuickPic or Scalado Album( which is also pretty decent ).

Dropbox?
If you don't have it yet that is a referral link and if you use that to sign up we both get 500mb of space for free. Also dropbox's app seems to work well and you get free space for uploading pictures, up to 3gigs from just uploading photos =D. You can give links out directly from your dropbox so it should work for what you want not sure what else there is for it. *Oh and there is a nice toggle for only uploading while you are in wifi if you want that so save data and it will do it automatically*
I don't think I would pay for a service like dropbox but it is awesome with it being free.

as personal preference im not a fan of "date view" I organize via folders so my OCD kicks in, I create albums(collections) and by default its oldest to newest (which can be fixed via picasa pc web interface after some cursing and google) I just am not fan of the overall interface. Ideally; for example, id have a folder on my device and google photos would keep that folder so if i have a reddit saved images folder lets call it "reddit" it would backup my images to that folder and keep the folder structure on the google photos side.
Theres nothing wrong with the photo's app per-say i just prefer the "gallery" method of sorting and organizing

In my opinion Sony album is better than quick pics. You can find the apk on xda
I've been using kk gallery app since it's basically just the aosp one.
