thanks for your help? *sarcasm*
anybody else having this problem?

This is the first I have heard of it but lets see if we can find out why. First we need more info to help you. Are you on a custom rom or stock? Is it crashing as your scroll at around the same place? Do you let it load completely before you scroll? How many pics?

I am running the stock rom. Sometimes it crashes when I load sometimes it crashes when I scroll around but its never at the same place. I got 32 photos.
Thanks for trying to help me out man I really appreciate it.
edit: I just deleted some of the pictures off my memory card and it seems to be working fine now but this is very crazy to me that I cant have a lot of pictures on my memory card without the album crashing.

Sounds like one of those pics are corrupted, I hate to say this but there is only really one way to find it, that is to move the pics to the pc and add them back one by one and see which one it is. (at least thats what I would do) were the pics taken with the camera or where they ones you downloaded?

I think your right about some of the files being corrupted because most of the files I deleted they were downloaded else where. Thanks for your help man!!!

I have read that some people when they get over 50 pics thats happens. It has never happend to me. Usually when I download pics and I don't put them in the DCIM folder thus they dont show up when I am scrolling through the picture in the album.

Video on gallery don't match.Froyo 2.2

Hello everyone.
I've just realized that after making a video if I delete it and shoot another one the little preview on the file shows the previous and deleted video,it does not match,so I have to go through all the videos in order for me to see the one I want to send or watch.
Has anyone had this issue?
Thanks so much.

Yep
Yep
having same issues with my streak....must have something to do with Album Art Caching....need to write an app for this...

Thank you very much for your reply.I thought I was the only one experiencing this.
Anybody else?
Last night I called Dell and they are gonna send me a new device,since this one is not even a week old.

Yeah me too.. a bit annoying but I got over it pretty quickly.

We all should report this,Dell needs to know,the more the better.
Did you find an app for this? any workaround?
Thanks.

Little workaround
I think I have just found a little workaround to solve this issue.I put my videos on a different folder on my computer,this is what I did after that:
-Go to sdcard (use Astro,Linda,windows file explorer will work too)then go to DCIM,you will see two folders camera and .thumbnails (just delete this one only)
Once you have deleted that one put the videos back on the camera folder,then take a look at the gallery on your streak,now the videos should be showing the real preview.
If you delete one of the videos the issue will be back and you will have to start the process over.After messing a little bit more with this folder I can see it does work.So if you come across the same bug give it a shot.

just initiate a new media scan..

Ok...I know it sounds very stupid specially after trying so many steps,but how can I do that....I'm sure I'm missing something.
Thanks.

Your phone should do a media scan when you restart, if that doesn't clear up the problem you can try an app like Rescan Media. It forces a media rescan without a reboot. There are others, that was the first I found.

Ok...I think I got it this time.Maybe it is one of the apps that do not autostart when I turn on the device,I use autostarts to disable apps and I must have disabled something that was not supossed to be off.
Thanks.

An app that resizes and crops photos?

Hey,
I'm looking for an app that can re-size and crop photos. It's a pretty basic requirement, but I've yet to find an app that can do both.
Am I missing something that this staring me in the face, or does such an app really not exist?

You could use Samsung photo editor
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17146726#post17146726
Or you can search the market with "resize image" - gives lots of results.

This doesn't show up in market. I assume I need to get the app through an alternate source?
Or does it only work with the galaxy?

Forgot to tell you that Samsung photo editor requires root in order to install. I've updated my post with a link.

My favorite photo editor is PicSay. There is a free version. I got lucky the pro version was free on amazon app market a while ago.

Thanks for the link. It looks like it may be what I need, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to run reliably on my device. It is rooted, but it force closes after a few seconds.

Yes, I've tried a number of searches with many results. Unfortunately, very few of those results are actually useful. It seems the tablet is still a little behind when it comes to image software. Most of the results are toys and gimics.
Ideally, I was hoping for a simple crop/resize tool, and was very surprised to find so few applications that performed these two basic functions. I thought I might be missing something.
Guess I'll be waiting a bit.

I tried the free version. It didn't re-size or crop, from what I could tell. It seemed to just allow adding balloons and icons and stuff.
Are actual photo editing features included in the pro version?

Re size and crop is part of the pro. Sorry about that.

It seems only two of the lib files actually copied. After I recopied all of the lib files, the app started working.
Thanks again.

I have pic say.and image shrink.

currently im using QuickPic as my default pic browser..
i cant paste the link here as my post count is not enough yet.. so try to search it in market..
much much much better than stock pic browser..
you can easily arrange the filing and folder as you can copy, cut n paste pictures within the apps itself..
it also provides cropping for pictures if that is what you want..
try it.. to me its the best pic browser.. (and pic cropping tools)

Yeah, QuickPic is really nice - supports crop but not resize as requested from the op.

[Q] Web browser lag

Surprisingly dissapointed with browsing speed.
Coming from an LG G2 which was insantaneous in loading pages, my note 4 lags chronically.
This is observed in every browser I've tried.
It should be noted that the pages which the Note 4 loads, have significantly more and larger advertisements.
Symptoms:
1. 2-5 seconds longer in loading pages when compared to the LG G2.
2. Momentary freeze when swipe to scroll.
3. Noticeable jump when scrolling - every time with each swipe.
Has anyone experienced similar issue or able to offer any insight towards resolving?
Your input would be greatly appreciated!

Specify wifi or mobile data

I can't download it, its gone. Please share the APK if you can!

I have the same issue and reverted to the stock default browser and it seems the smoothest for me. I had the Samsung support apk installed which did help Chrome a bit but still not as good as stock.

I think that the biggest problem is that most web pages are 75% ads, and 25% content that you want.
Web designers are lazy, and they just throw every single ad they can find on there, and they make a mess of things. It is really annoying when you just want to read something and have to go through 14 ads and commercials to read what you went there for.
I think that this is the modern day equivalent of the pop-up. Most have those blocked pretty well, so now all those annoying popups are just integrated into the page itself and it really bogs things down. And I think that in their greedy zeal to force these ads down our throats, they make them less effective because we just learn to tune them out and become numb to them...
If it was an ad or two on a page, I might see it and check it out. WHen it is 9 or 10 I get annoyed and just start flicking past them to get what I want, or I give up and try another page altogether...

It will help a lot if you get rid of the ads. I am using ABP to block all ads easily when in wifi. no need for root.
if you got root adaway is the way to go.

Are you rooted? And have xposed installed? Maybe its in one of those plugins for chrome. Mine is working fantastic. Try clearing cache and dalvik and reboot. If all else fails use another browser

enter this in the chrome bar: chrome://flags
Then look for "Maximum tiles for interest area"
and change to 512. This allocates more ram.
You can play with the other settings there as well and reset incase things get effed up :good:

Already tried, this does not improve the scrolling performance at all, thanks anyway

I tried on the Nexus 5 my friend has it, not much of an improvement, guess its Chrome.

Alright this is the final solutions I have found. If it wont work for you then it's the end of the world...
Option one: 1) install samsung support
2) disable javascript and restart chrome
If you need javascript enabled keep it enabled and make sure samsung support is installed
1) enter chrome://flags
2) look for "Enable Experimental JavaScript" restart and reply here for feedback...
Also don't forget to enable the 512 hack as well

Which mobile browser are you using? Assuming it's either the Samsung stock browser, try in chrome and try downloading Firefox from the play store to see if the error reproduces in other browsers
Edit; when you say you close some "except the internet" are you referencing apps? Because that would be a memory issue and not a browser tabs issue so be sure to check the tabs in your browser, not in your recent apps screen.

Got it
Thank you. I was using the Samsung internet app. When I used chrome, didn't have the problem anymore.

Great, if I was able to help, pressing the the thanks button below my post would be appreciated
P.s I don't think there is an issue with the Samsung Browser itself, it's layout can be quite awkward but there should be a button near the top right that lists all of your open tabs with an option to close them!.
