By slow, I mean it loads picture slow. At least, I feel like back in 2.3.3, when I click on gallery then the pictures were loaded instant and it would show how many pictures in each folder and etc.
However, after 2.3.4, I just feel like the picture loading part where it shows how many pictures are each folder part comes up slower.
It didn't happen right away I guess. I just noticed it starting yesterday, and I didn't really feel the slugness til yesterday.
I thought I might have done something wrong so I tried hardware reset and even tried to set the background to many other pictures from stock Android ones and camera pictures I took, but they don't make any difference.
Anyone eelse going through about the same symptom?

gallery in 2.3.4 is fine
Ive had this happen a few times before even on 2.3.3 i use cachecleaner NG and it fixed it
think you need root though
Also Just becasue you did a hard reset the cache files that need to be deleted are located on your internal SD Hard reset wont fix
cachecleaner NG will clean your internal SD
As this is not a solution to your specific problem, I switched over to an app called QuickPic on the market. The native gallery app looks cool and all, but I find this app to be way more useful.

I LOVE this appA! Probably my most used, and it unfortunatly hangs on the game overview screen, after a short dimming of the screen. Real bummer for me bc everything else is working great for me on Froyo!
...does anyone have this running successfully on FroYo?? Ive tried pushing into system/app thinking protection was maybe an issue but to no success...any help would be greatly appreciated!
There was another thread on here with ppl that had problems with this same app after froyo was installed. It doesnt even show up in the app store for froyo users. I have an off topic question: does androids mlb at bat app show live video feed of games? I kno the iphone app does. Thanks.
no its audio only and i miss this app tempted to go back to cm because i miss my baseball

Only works with 2.1 so far, no 2.2 support thusly the darkened screen.
No wonder... I kept thinking MLB at Bat shut my app
off.
just curious...since the MLB app is just for phone access, has anyone tried connecting with their desktop service with flash? Did it work well? I have a hard time justifying purchasing the android app if i dont get comp access as well, especially since it may be possible to have both.
Have not tried myself...
Anyone maybe have a fix for this since this thread has been started though? Still seems to have same issue.
it works just fine for me running 2.2 manual update
No problems with it either, manual download
I was experiencing the non-responsive dimmed screen as well. I went into the application info screen under Settings >> Applications >> Manage Applications and cleared data, cleared cache, forced stop, reopened...and it worked like with 2.1.
What do you mean manual download... I've been wanting to download this and I can't find it on the marketplace
Even after restarting, resetting to factory settings on the entire device, it still will not let me type with swype.
Here's the video to show it: dailyapper.com /?p=292 (remove the space before the / )
I have an issue that might be related. I rooted, used titanium backup to remove bloatware. Everythings fine but the option to change languages in swype is greyed out and no languages in my list when i hold 'q.'
Help? Reinstalled the apk from system dump too.

Just got my first Android phone yesterday (the Captivate) so I'm probably not much of an authority here as other people are but I'll try to help as much as I can.
You might have to uninstall and reinstall Swype on your phone...as far as instructions on how to do it as well as the .apk for it, you can find them somewhere here in the forums. If you need help trying to find it, I'll help as much as I can.
Maybe changing the UI from TouchWiz to something else as I did may help with lag in general. I switched to LauncherPro and it helped with "lag" when moving between home screens.
If all else fails, head back to the store and try to get it exchanged. Could be a glitch with your phone.
As I said, I'm no expert at all but just want to help as much as I can.
What have you installed on your phone? I installed Dolphin Browser HD and it caused all sorts of slow downs on my phone even when it wasn't running! Swype is perfectly fast for me. Do you still have the samsung touch wiz UI running?
Dolphin Browser HD slows mine down as well. As well as the TouchWiz UI.
I have it rooted but have not done anything to it. Have a handful of market Apps installed. I reset to factory settings already and still had the same issue. Going to do a complete system dump back to factory when I get home later today. But it was doing this before I rooted it.

any idea on what might have caused it? what apps have you install? I may be having same issue.
did a complete whipe and erased all data.
it's back to normal now.
Didn't get normal the first whipe, though, weird.
and after a days use and only installing about 5 apps - it's freezing the same way again. I am going to go return it.
Can you delete the stock browser after root and not have any problems
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
It should be perfectly safe to remove the stock browser. Unlike IE on Windows for example, nothing in Android actually relies on the native browser code. All applications wishing to transfer to your browser go where you tell them to.
I imagine you may have some funky issues later down the line.
The truth is

Well I don't wanna be mean, but I am gonna say this is false. I have had G1, N1, and now G2x i have removed alot of things from my phones and even my latest the G2x. And even though you shouldn't have any problems with removing system apps remember now that your root you should make sure to back-up your phone, because you could mess with some setting or god knows what and be stuck in a bootloop.Also, instead of actually uninstalling apps you could always freeze them to make receiving ota updates easier(Cause gingerbread is right around the corner)
P.S. didn't realize you have a G2x too! beware of removing the my t-mobile and my device apps because they might throw you into this weird force close free for all.
So I got the Nexus S, i9023, after spending a good amount of time trying to figure how to do the Root, CWR, ROM, I still can't get things to work properly.
My main issues with the Nexus are the camera while recording cause it sucks!, the media playback controls on the lock screen and the speed of the unit in general, I mean N4G.com feels as if the phone was using a browser from the middle ages!!!!
I've been going around the forums but is kinda hard to read along threads of 100 pages of posts, not a guide with straight answers, just for the steps I have managed to accomplish I had to use Youtube, Google and another 4 pages + these forums to make sense of what's first and then go on "trial & error" cause some of the steps have updates on different pages that others don't even mention.
So, I was able to Root, CWR and then install CM7, then I reverted to stock cause the Market is gone.....lovely....but is even better afterwards.....
So the phone works on the stock Android again, but now I can't make the phone to boot on recovery again so I can use the CWM options, I can't make RM to install or run anything, the phone will simply does nothing...and if I try on flashing the Clockworkmod recov then I get a "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"........and I have SU installed.........
Btw, how do I install a kernel??? or flash the camera (if that's possible)....
Thx to any kind soul who could share it's own experience....
I recommend you do more reading and research before you flash anything. Cm7 does not come with market for legal reasons, you have to flash it separately. To flash a kernel you just download and flash it in recovery.

In your current situation you need to use fastboot to reflash recovery and use recovery to reflash superuser.

there is a one click root option which i keep on my desktop. way more than one click but i it does everything pretty much for u. try doing that.
Ns4g.com is bad because they have terribly coded flash content.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Hello all, thx for the replies, N4G can't be that bad since the issue repeats itself at other pages like cnn, espn or even worst if u try eltiempo.com (newspaper from Colombia), the last one lags horrible on pc using FF and doesn't even load as full page on the Nexus or my N8, that page is so badly designed that even the mobile version sucks (problem is the news back home are kinda best shown there....).
In any case, as I said before, "Trial & Error", I already have installed CM7, Liquid SR, Miui and Oxygen, loved Oxygen, kept Miui, Liquid is a nice idea but needs work and CM7 is a bit rough.
So far I've learned how to restore from an image of a previous ROM (kept my original backed up in case!!!), also how to reinstall SU in case I have to go back to stock, how to install a new kernel (thx to Google and not the Search in the forums!!!), I did also overclocked my NS to 1.2G and seems pretty stable.
Things I still don't like and will look in the future to solve are the issues with the camera, Miui fixes part of the issues with lag while recording, I got a snag during a test recording made today, also the controls are not that amazing for the camera, no Zoom???, and the Gallery is not a plain gallery but mainly a file browser which makes it confusing if u forget what folder ur supposed to check...
Also the issue with the battery not hitting 100%...kinda silly....
In all it's been good but the time spent is a pain, mainly cause there is no explanation about how to apply the files, what order, etc, is nice to find things here in XDA but is rather annoying to have to use Google to find things around...
Thx again for the replies!!!
Every few days my phone generates a .98GB file. I thought it did this when i debugged it to the computer, but it just happens when ever it feels like it.
I don't take massive amounts of pictures or videos. I only have like 1gb of music on my phone so I don't know where this file comes from.
location, name, size, type of file is-- Computer>Removable Disk(G>DCIM>.thumbnails// THUMBDATA4--1967290299// .98GB
Auto run is turned off on the computer when device is connected. Everything is set to do not run with the pop up when phone connects to computer
when ever this file is created I can't do anything on my phone: Open pictures, play music, open browser, play games.
This file cannot be found on the phone by its self because nothing will open. File gets created on the phone storage and not the sd card.
Ok so I have heard of this before but I have never experienced it....
Are you running ICS? If so, upgrade to JB, its way better
Are you using the stock gallery? Try to mess with some settings inside gallery.
Determined to stay on your rom? Try Quickpic, its WAY better/faster than stock and free. No ads either.
I'm trying to think why it would be so big, have you tried going to settings/apps/gallery and did the force stop/clear data and cache options? After that go to the settings/apps/media storage and do the same there. Reboot and see if that fixes it. Lmk how it goes.

Yes, I am running standard ICS. I'll look into getting JB. I've never had any device with JB let alone upgrading a device to JB... I'll look on here for some step by step instructions
I am using stock gallery no settings that I have found could be creating this file. I took a screen shot of it but can't post due to not enough posts on XDA.
I've cleared all caches, looked at every setting, had a few people who said they were really good with android look at this situation and they were stumped.

Yea if I remember correctly I think this bug was for ICS only, though I may be wrong. Upgrading is pretty easy, just use the Blaze Bible on the development page and it will have all the links you are looking for. The steps will be root it, add a recovery, then pick a rom. The whole process shouldnt take more than 15 minutes. It is well worth it and actually adds more control over permissions and flexibility. Also, going back to stock is even easier just in case you need to send it back.
