Issues with Gallery app. - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody have issue with the application not showing any photos or videos. Its alittle ridiculous. Just got the phone two days ago.

Nope, everything working fine. Maybe they clearing out the app data? I primarily use QuickPic by the way, great gallery replacement app.

Getting a ton of force closes

It just started today. Anyone else?

Nope may want to check the latest app that you have installed or any recent updates

Yeah backtrack your apps install and see what is causing the FC's.
I have two with a third on the way(long story) but nothing wrong with any one of them. Before the update the first one had a few lockups on the browser but after the update neither one had any lockups or FC's.
I have installed all types of apps just to see what will or will not work. Very few FC's if any at all. But I kept track of which apps caused the FC's to remove them until they get updated.
Its on apps like CNN and Facebook which have been working fine before. I guess I will try to track it back.
i get a lot of force closes with the browser and the CNN app. try killing the process as well as the cached process. theres two options. you will see it under 'running applications'
Only force close for me from the Facebook app so far is when I try to load the home screen widget. Slightly annoying.

I've had more FCs than I do on my rock-stable Droid 2 with Fission, esp. in the browser, but I suspect it's because Honeycomb is new.
It'll get more stable as Google handles bug reports and as devs learn how to use the new APIs.
Also, strict mode, which I need to get on, myself.
The FCs I get are retarded. I only seem to get them when I'm exiting out of the app anyways. I did get a FC once when I was using the Facebook app going from the stream to the home page thing, but it didn't actually close the app. So it's more annoying than anything.
the facebook widget and app are not designed for honeycomb, and many have stated it FCs. i would not use it for now. I use the app and it seems to work fine (not pretty, but works).
Also, OP. I used to get a tons of FCs in the browser and CNN. I cleared caches and uninstalled, but sometimes still the same thing. Try rebooting. I know it sounds cliched and the standard windows answer, but it honestly worked for me. I haven't had a FC in a while...knock on wood.
facebook is hit and miss. Sometimes after a boot the facebook app will work. Sometimes it won't. When it isn't working it will just fc constantly and is completely useless. The add account never works. The widget never updates.
Facebook is uninstalled till they fix it.
I get FC randomly, on random apps.. I report all of them.

Important to everyone about FC's, make sure you report them via the in system prompt that happens when they FC
Glad I'm not tithe only one who reports them all. Ha. :]

Iv been getting a lot of FC's also.. even before I installed apps.. just seems that this is a lot more buggy then it should be.
Only FC I get is with the xda app, but that bug has been around for a long time. I dont use the facebook app and stopped using the CNN widget due to it slowing down the home screen. The app works fine for me though. On stock 3.0.1

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

i had the fb app on my tablet and one day it just disappeared...they took it down.
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.

I've had that happen with the market a few times too. I normally just back out and go back in until it finally works.

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.

ATRIX Gallery Issue

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,

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.

Gallery date wrong?

So I've been taking some photos with my new nexus and I've noticed that the gallery/camera display and read core incorrect dates and I don't know why. For some of the photosphere pictures, it recorded the right time but said it was UTC so in the gallery it subtracted 8 hours from it. In others it was fine. I found this most often in the GPS date. In others, it is missing almost all of the exif data and has a date of 00:00 12/8/2002. In ALL of the pictures the date digitized says 12/8/2002. In about half of my pictures the date taken is also 12/8/2002 but in others it has the correct date taken. But only 3 show up as 2002 in the gallery. Very inconsistent, random, and confusing. Is this a bug/known/etc? I remember something like this happening on the gnex where it would date pictures several days in the future and in UTC instead of regular time. Only my photo sphere pictures are affected by the UTC problem, and only some of them at that.
Anyone else with this issue? I've already tried clearing gallery cache and data. No luck. Pictures show up fine in instant upload.

I don't have an answer for you (sorry), but as someone who has been annoyed with the awful Gallery app for a long time, let me recommend using either PicFolio ($3) or Quickpic (free) instead. They both offer much more customization, including letting you order your photos and video by name instead of date. QuickPic is great if you keep your photos and video local, and PicFolio is great if you store them in Picasa/Google+.
It's harder to do with jelly bean because the gallery and camera app are one and the same. Or at least they're joined at the hip

I hear you. There's no way of getting rid of Gallery, but the apps I mentioned work seamlessly along with it. The Gallery app is lurking on my phone, but I never go into it.
I think it may have had something to do with me having no service and therefore no network provided time and time zone

Gallery issue?

Hi guys, I've been searching the Web for a while now for this problem and I hope I'm not the only one with it. But since yesterday when I'm on gallery the preview at the bottom of the screen doesn't disappear! If you play a video the play buttons don't go anywhere either. Is there anyone else with this issue?

Yep, same here. I was about to make a thread for it, but found yours. The preview at the bottom, and toolbar at the top NEVER disappear, no matter what I've tried. Also, when making photo selections, a woman's voice tells me that the "check box is checked" I can't find that setting anywhere either. Super annoying.
What the deuce?
Haha even restarts don't help =/ and yeah the woman is hilarious but creepy! I would love to ask Samsung but would have no idea where to start!

I was having this exact same problem and finally figured out what was causing it, at least for me. I installed NoLED and turned it on under accessibility. I didn't realize the connection at the time but then I noticed that the top and bottom overlays in the gallery wouldn't go away. I also got the freaky voice, even when opening websites. Somehow I correlated the issue as to having started after I installed NoLED. After I uninstalled it my gallery sent back to normal. It was either an issue with the app or having given it access under accessibility. Hope this helps.
