[Q] Note 3 stock gallery super slow/freeze? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Loving my Note 3, but for some strange reason, when I go to gallery and pick a picture, all the images stay where they are, but you can see in the background that it transitions to a different UI. I would have to hit back and reselect the image, or click settings >> Select Items and then it will finally display the images from the selected folder.
I don't want to have to use a different gallery, but wondering if others experienced this?

Yes, it does that.
Only for me it just gives "Gallery has stopped working". Or "[app] has stopped working" if I open it through another app, like Whatsapp(Which is horribly annoying as Whatsapp has recently ditched the option to select another gallery app.) and Stock Camera.
I just stick to Quickpic whenever I can.

i found them a lot better than the samsung one.

Thanks, you guys! I found something called FishGallery or something like that. UI is ugly, but it has some neat features.

I9505 - Gallery problem?

Does anybody else have issue with gallery when you are watching picture? Upper panel and bottom panel which contains pictures preview dont hide st all.. Not automatically and not even when i tap picture..
I have tried to clear cache by gallery, clear or informations etc. After factory reset itbworked like normal but little bit later samething. Is problem causing some apps which i have disabled or what? Tried with different firmware versions too..
I solved it myself.. It has something to do with Accessibility menu. Example I'm using Light flow and i need to turn it on in Accessibility menu, then that problem exist... It's really annoying because I'm using Light Flow and I love that app, but I also like gallety app and any 3rd party gallery apps in Play store have bad quality on this phone...

[Q] Google Chrome issue after 4.4.2 update

Hey guys
This is something new! Never seen it before! Anywhere!
After 4.4.2 update, my google chrome is having a problem.
I think the screen shot below is clear!
"Sooo, i cant upload pictures with my tab using chrome!!! This is another issue i guess!!!
The screen shot is a black screen, with a new tab icon only on top, whitch is not working, nothing else. Not a chrome logo in the midle, nothing"
It happens every time i run chrome, i have to end the app, (i have a commad for it in gmd gesture control)
Then remove it from recent apps then run it again to maks it work.
I unistalled all of its updates, cleared apps cash and data. Reinstalled updates, none helped.
In 4.2.2, when i opened the app, it used to show my favorites and i could open a new tab, or open my fav tabs.
Can anyone help?
Any suggestions?

Help. Weird Gallery behavior (SM-G530H)

Hi guys, I have a SM-G530H on the September 2014 KitKat build number G530HXXU1ANII
It is rooted. Everything seems fine but for one thing.
Take for example I'm on Whatsapp and have to send a picture saved on my phone to someone , or change my DP, I select Gallery. It opens up the Gallery. As soon as I click on any picture it takes me back to the homescreen.
I reopen Whatsapp and it straightaway takes me to picture select screen and now selection from Gallery works normally.
This happens while uploading to any other app (Fb on browser, XDA) from Gallery. It opens the Gallery for picture selection, I click on a chosen picture and it takes me to homescreen and I have to restart entire process again. It is very annoying. Please help. Thank you
Try to clean the cache of the gallery settings>apps manager> all apps and search for the gallery app and clean it
Didn't work brother

Hi, I don't know if it will help you, but I've experimented gallery issues with another device and I solved it downloading another gallery app from G Play end froze (eg: with Titanium - needs root) the stock gallery.
Updating to latest firmware solved it

Gallery not working because of force fast scroll

I installed force fast scroll on my galaxy s4 sph-l720 triforce rom (rooted) and now my app gallery does not load. I have installed quick pic for now. But when I get a pic from a friend in a text I can not click onto it to view it larger. Can an help me get my gallery working agian or make it possible for quick pic to open pictures in messaging? I have cleared data and cache in settings for gallery, rebooted phone, took battery out and then back in, uninstalled force fast scroll, and nothing has helped yet. Besides re-installing my rom can i uninstall gallery and re-install it somehow?
Thank you, Randy

Oreo 8.0 Beta Experiences So Far

As many know the beta went live for Sprint, Unlocked, and T-Mobile customers earlier today so I thought (since I didn't see one posted already) that a thread of our experiences with it so far would be nice to have.
So far here is a list of bugs some comments have posted in this thread:
Laggier than Nougat
Live Messages force close
Adhell2 frequent force closes
Bluetooth fails to turn on until reboot
Random reboots
Personally, it feels snappier in nearly all operations when using Nova Launcher Prime, but it's when I switched back to TouchWiz that I've noticed that it feels much more responsive than it did before. It feels much better.now and I'm going to use Touchwiz for a few days and see if it's worth using now.
The one area I was really hoping that would have seen an improvement would be swiling to the right for Bixby, which feels worse now somehow. While Bixby seems a little better when activating with voice, and the new interface for Bixby home does look nicer (personal opinion, obviously) the actually swiping is still a slow mess.

its kinda laggy. lots of apps have been force closing. battery life has been pretty good tho
Keep getting an app called mobile downloader in notification panel up to the left, can't clear it can only snooze it, wtf, I like a tidy left notification panel especially on the left
Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I got this also on sprint, I just forced closed it. Comes back with a reboot but whatever, the notification is gone
I like a tidy notification panel/Status bar as well and I'm now noticing more than usual notifications that I don't like:
"so and so app is running in the background" and I can't disable it. That's annoying.

I'm on T-Mobile. You may need to do a cache clear and reboot it. I know that can clear up lag after an update sometimes. Always worth a shot if you haven't already.

It's stable, has silly bugs but on a whole it's much to do about nothing.
It's not a case of Samsung at all, it's android itself. Google just don't bring much to the table anymore
samsung keyboard forced closed but came back in a reboot, usually use gboard though, so im going back to that
I have been running 8.0 Beta 1 for about 8 hours now, and have also reverted back to TouchWiz from Nova so I can view the full experience. So far, everything is faster. No issues with any content or apps already loaded from 7. I have only noticed one small, split-second glitch so far, and that was an animation delay returning to the Home screen from using an app. 30 apps sitting in Recents right now, so could have happened just the same on 7. Regardless, I am completely content, and have already forgotten that were talking about a beta, let alone Beta 1. Surprisingly good job Samsung, and I'm still in shock that we even have Oreo already, to be honest... Looking forward to further testing and the finished release.
My S8 is my only cellphone phone , I consider myself a Android enthusiasts. I love tweaking settings.and I'm always on my phone. Do you think the beta is stable enough ? to install theOreo beta i have already downloaded it I just want to see, if the apps are closing , crashing, buggy ,rebooting ect. The occasional hiccup will be no big deal thanks in advance for your response
Does anyone else's Live Messages force close while using the messaging app? I ask because I previously installed the Note 8 Live Messages mod before I installed the Oreo Update and I'm not sure if that may be the reason why it is now force closing.

Is there still massive animation lag/dropped frames when hitting the home key returning to the home page from Samsung browser?

Personally it has been snappier with no app crashes. I have had Facebook crash and some other app I don't remember, but it was something else I had installed and not a major component and it has only been once for both, but Facebook had issues all week since I re-enabled it. It has just now been working better (POS app anyway.)
That and the annoying to me notification panel are the only things. No bugs, lag, etc but I can't speak on battery yet... So far it seems in line, but I don't really know until tomorrow.

No problems with Messages here, but I haven't modded it from the Note app so I dunno, and this version doesn't have the Live messages feature still, so I'm going to guess that might be the issue there.

It still isn't as fast at going back to home as other apps, but it's a far better transition than it has been.

Ok, phone just rebooted while sitting at my desk. Nothing was going on and the last app I had opened was dialer. Hoping that doesn't turn into a trend.

thought poweramp was not working, turns out it had lost my music folder on the sd card and I had to point it at it again.
How is the battery life?
I have been experiencing the same issue. Whenever I select it on the keyboard the message "Live Messenger has closed" appears and the phone just vibrates on me. I tried a reboot to get it to work and still no change. I am also constantly getting "New Messaging Features" appearing in my message bar, over and over and when I click "Start" I do not get the code and get it completely registered. Not sure if that is adding to the issue as well.
