within gallery you hit menu and then select "view by" and then "content in device"

but that just changes the view, afaik, which eliminates most of the clutter. i dont want dropbox albums or picasa to sync and i have not found a way yet either.

I just removed the built in Dropbox and use the one from market.
[Microsoft Surface] ORCM:
I have a Clear USB Modem, that does not need a connection manager to be installed. Instead it uses Windows RNDIS driver.

When I plug the unit into my Surface, it recognizes that it is a RNDIS device, and looks for a driver. However it doesn't find one.

I've read on here that some USB to Ethernet modules work, so they must be using a common Windows driver. What's the chance that Microsoft will make a RNDIS driver for RT, or is it even possible?
[Microsoft Surface] ORCM:
After doing some research, it appears that Windows RT only supports NDIS 6.3 or newer. Can anyone confirm this?

Anyone got any light leak on his/her hox+?

Here is how it looks for me :/ Still wondering if its worth to exchange my hox+. Apart of this and rattling noise from SIM slot its great!

I had the same problem. Wasn't enough though to exchange it for that, but I had battery problems and a squishy screen that was also not completely plain on that device. My replacement is perfect. If you have no problems except that, I wouldn't exchange.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nac310:
A couple days ago I had used my rooted inspire with rcremix Rom to setup my old netgear wgt64v4 router to my cable modem and as believe this was last time the WiFi functioned normally. It tells me no networks in range and scans for a second or two then stops with no networks in range. I'm not sure what to check other than being enabled and trying to scan. I'm now running trick droid Rom. I grateful for any help or suggestions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] compLEX_vISion:
Good evening XDA,

I've been watching the forums for a while, learning as I go, tinkering, enjoying, thankfully everything but bricking my E4GT and before that EVO 4G. This is my first post, I'm Jodie, and thank you all for the wonderful roms, apps, and sacrifices(bricks, family, sanity...) you've made for the community. I imagine at some point I'll get picky enough to start creating my own themes, tweaks, roms....mmmm.....maybe not roms, but for now I troll your hard work, providing feedback whenever possible.

My first question:

I am preparing to go to King Kang from ParanoidAndroid. I've been on so many other roms and installed so many apps, themes, tweaks that there is a gamut of useless and outdated folders, files, and I imagine other settings that I can not see lurking within the precious memory of my phone. How can I get rid of these, completely wipe my internal (and perhaps external) sd, memory, and essentially return my phone to bare bones, as in, before sprint applies their Stock Rom?

On a side note, I think I may be crazy but I remember seeing a post in the PA or King Kang threads about modem/kernel combos and performance...now I can't find it. Does it exist?

Well, I'm out for now, I hope I've posted in the right section (per forum rules) and can start becoming a contributing member of the community. Thanks for any help in advance and the years of priceless knowledge and pleasure.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyanoid:
Ok, I just spent the last day and a half of my life, trying to change the system font on my MIUI XJ GB ROM (HTC Desire) to that of the iPhone (Helvetica Neue Condensed, if you care). At first, I went into a mild state of panic, when the first attempt (using Font Installer from Android market) froze the phone at the splash screen, and it wouldn't go past that no matter how many battery pulls, nor would it get into the bootloader. Even restoring from nandroid backup did not work! If this is you, read on.

I figured out I was able to get to into the bootloader, if I attempted to from a cold start, not from splash scrn (Vol. Down + Power). Wiping everything from there, did nothing. Only re-flashing the ROM got me back into the phone. Since I already lost everything!, I tried this again. And again. And again.... And so on. Sometimes with "Font Changer/Custom Font Switcher" app, sometimes with Font Installer, sometimes directly with adb, sometimes I used another technique. Sometimes I used the fonts that came with the apps I tried, sometimes they were fonts I downloaded that were converted for android, sometimes fonts that I converted myself (to ttf). No matter, almost EVERY attempt borked the phone! In the rare cases it didn't, the font never seemed to have changed!

I was getting tired of having to reinstall the ROM, so I figured out a better way (which could have saved me from losing a lot of work, had I figured it out sooner!): First, make sure you have a backup copy of the system fonts (in MIUI, this includes Arial fonts as well as Droid, etc). If you didn't make a copy, then you have to try to find if someone uploaded the fonts you need, somewhere. Then, in adb shell, you remove the font files you added (pull from /system/fonts), and you add the stock files (push to /system/fonts). I learned you don't need to be in Clockwork (or any bootloader) for this to work. At one point, I did all the pushing and pulling from my custom splash screen! (With the USB connected to the computer). In fact, while it was stuck in the splash screen for a long time, once I had replaced the Arial.ttf font with a stock font (DroidSans, since I didn't have a backup of Arial!), the phone unstuck itself, and booted straight into MIUI!

I had problems with the commands at first, though. I figured out that getting into the system from clockwork or from the computer, requires different commands, else error msg results.

Mounting the system from the computer: adb shell mount -o remount,rw system

Mounting the system from recovery:

adb devices

adb shell

# mount /system

# mount /data

# mount /sdcard

There's a lot more involved of course, such as deleting the bad font from your adb directory (once copied) and placing the stock font there, to transfer it to your phone. But all that's information repeated many times elsewhere.

I'm sure this should all help, because I've read many examples of people messing their system trying to apply fonts!

(Ok, I think I'm done trying to install system fonts! I'm just going to do it through MIUI, via their font themes!!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wbvczar:
I first saw this on my wife's S3 and now I have the same thing on my Note 2. Whenever I go into the Gallery app, it is so extremely slow. I thought it was building indexes or something, but my Thunderbolt wasn't this slow. I have searched around and can't find anything.

I do have images on an extSD card, but even before I put the card in the pics I took on camera were slow to come up. I can use other apps like quic pic but I don't think S-pen works with other apps.

Anyone else seen this?

EDIT: It appears the S-Pen works fine in quic pic. I was able to select and copy to clipboard just fine. I would still like to know why Gallery is so slow though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
hmm I'd call mine quite fast. I have 42 local pictures already and it that album and facebook ones instantly and when I click local, the pictures all pop right up instantly. Have you noticed reads/writes from your memory being slow with anything else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wbvczar:
My phone overall is very fast. It is just the gallery. The fact that I saw it on my wife's S3 made me wonder. I even moved her pics off of her extSD card and onto her internal memory. Then I reformatted her card. I also reformatted my card in the phone before putting the pics back on it. Quic Pic works like a champ, so I believe it has to be Gallery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] my_handle:
No issues here with opening gallery, pics taken from phone or photos on memory card. Also my s3 was fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdthomas9:
Yep, mine too. I have a lot on my card, when i open the gallery it shows a bunch of gray squares that should be the folder names.it takes forever to show thumbnails for some reason. Never had this on my S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] randpost:
I have 6000+ pictures separated into 50+ albums all stored on my 64gb xdhc and its fast. for an album of more than 600 pics, the gray boxes turn to thumbnails quick enough to keep up with my scrolling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigjonmoo73:
I'm in the same boat as the OP.... It takes quite a long time to load up my pictures in my gallery. Quite annoying...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
use a ultra high speed sd card an it will help with gallery speed. i have a 64gb sandisk that reads 50mb/s...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tesler32:
I have had the same problem since owning the S3 and now the GN2. I have about 6gb of photos on my internal storage and a couple gb on my sd card.

I have been able to figure out that it's something with my home network. Try to turn off Wifi and then open Gallery on all 3 of my Sammy phones the gallery is instantly fast.

PS Someone also told me to disable Tag Buddy and Face Tag as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stkiswr:
Motorola is similar yo this except that the moto gallery pinch room is choppy. Quick pic fixes. Its something about the ui that makes it drag along on the gallery. Hopefully they address it because my old gs2 didn't really have that issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xanthic:
Same issues with gallery sometimes

I've noticed some slowdown on the gallery but mostly when other apps try to access it.

Like if i try to look at the gallery from picsay or something.

I notice the camera folder shows up right away but it hangs on the other folders.

I have it showing all my facebook photos too. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

And I have noticed its quite hit or miss. Sometimes its instant sometimes it hangs.

It is quite weird when the phone is so fast.

I would love to know what is causing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
If it's looking for facebook albums, it could be data connection that's affecting the speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] r1_2fast4u:
Is there any way of removing sync from Facebook
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
I haven't found a way. I went into facebook sync and unchecked "sync gallery" and changed the gallery sync interval to never, then went and cleared all data from the gallery but it went through and downloaded them all over again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LordRalh3:
Did you try changing the sd speed? I switched from the default 128k to 2048 and my galleries load as fast as I can scroll
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv2ride:
I too have this issue. It would be worth trying what LordRalh3 mentions. Dont know if this is going to help. I had several pictures on internal memory until I remembered to install my external 32gb card, it is slow both ways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thevaristy:
I had the same issue, and found that gallery was caching a ton of data. Over 2 gigs the first day! I cleared it, and again the next day it began caching data again. I have resorted to disabling the app, and I am in the process of wiping to see if that helps. I will let you know what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] StressSyndrom:
Stock gallery is bull****. Better is quickpic i use it nearly 1 year
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thevaristy:
Wiping did not help. Gallery still as slow as molasses. I will report back on cached data. How would I go about changing the sd speed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thevaristy:
I just changed the sd speed to 2048. There was no difference. This is really annoying. I turned off syncing with picasa, facebook, google +. Im not sure what else could cause such a slow down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
my gallery is plenty fast...although i know what u guys are talking about. on my gs1 gallery was terribly slow...quick pic was a great alternative. since going to a sandisk ultra-1 64gb, stock gallery is fast on both my gs3 and note2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MONDOIV:
How do you turn the speed up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LordRalh3:
Romtoolbox pro is what I use but ive also used sd apps free in the market
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigjonmoo73:
It only happens when I'm trying to pull up the gallery from an app. If I just open it up from the app list, no problem. Very irritating...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I found a solution for my Gallery being so slow!

So the reason that Gallery was so incredibly slow in my case, turned out to be because my Plex Media Server was sharing photos.

I've noticed that the DLNA compatibility between Plex and my (previous device) SGS3 and my Note II is non-functional.

By disabling photo sharing on my Plex server, my Note II gallery is now MUCH faster to start up and display all photos, as well as much quicker for navigation.

Hope this helps someone else experiencing this problem :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Yogaxl:
Oh you're a GENIUS , thank you ! My gallery was hell slow because of my Windows Media Player on PC sharing photos but it did not know it because the folder was hidden on my phone gallery, had to show it through the options in the Menu then everything came clear in my head. I disabled sharing on my PC and now the gallery is hell fast :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kejar31:
Yeah Samsung really needs to fix the crappy DLNA implementation..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
I know you said yours reads up to 50mb/s, but I am pretty sure its 30 :p

I have the same card. Quite nice and no slowdowns. Write times could be better.

For others, compared to internal storage, this card is easily twice as fast on read times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tbns:
I'm experiencing the very slow gallery, too. Doesn't matter what ROM I'm on, doesn't matter whether Facebook/Picasa etc. are synced or not. Just a generally slow gallery. Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunzzzz:
This fixed it for me! Gallery was chugging along and even crashing on my samsung note 2. Turn off wifi and everything was back to normal. Hopefully Google fix this soon otherwise I will have to switch to Quick Pic
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chocu1a:
I had the same gallery issue. I think it boiled down to AllShareCast. I froze everything to do with allsharecast using titanium backup, & now it is back to normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
I use quickpic since the stock gallery is so slow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
holy crap! I can't believe that did it.

I froze 4 or 5 things and bang, fast as hell

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
yes your correct...i ran a couple antutu tests and it averages 30mb/s. initial test was 50mb/s, but never tested that high again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icy_virtuoso6:
I am having this slowness problem as well. It seems to be plex in general thats causing it for me even though I don't have plex set up to share pictures, just video. Turning plex off fixes the issue but thats not a real fix as I use plex A LOT!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WizeGuyDezignz:
I absolutely hate the TW gallery. This is the answer: http://db.tt/IO8EgAdu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmbfan13:
Mine has always been slow!! I'm wondering if people are getting confused here. For me, it's not the fact of bringing up the thumbnails being slow, its simple things like going to gallery and selecting an image. It then starts to CRAWWWL. If I try and set the wallpaper using an image, it takes forever!!! I hit menu and litereally 30 seconds later the menu pops up. I then try and scroll to where "Set As.." is and it takes FOREVER! Someone had mentioned something abotu AllShare causing the slowness and to use Titanium Backup. I simply went to Settings -> More Settings (Under Wireless and network) and scrolled to the bottom where "AllShare Cast" is located. Turned it off, and it appears my problem has gone away!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mohammed779:
Try to use Stock 4.2 gallery?

Its faster and smoother for me

Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 (GT-7100)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I would absolutely refuse to use anything but the Samsung official TouchWiz gallery. It has looped GIF support unghhhhhhhhhh why Android doesn't support this stock yet is mind boggling.

For that reason alone, I gotta give it up to Samsung Gallery. Even their music/video players have a great range of support for codecs and file formats that stock Android doesn't possess. Not to mention they go along very nicely with S Pen support. Using anything else defeats the purpose of owning this device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaBountyHunter:
I've had this issue plague me for awhile. I turned off tag buddy and it's gone back to how it used to be smooth. Never thought that could have been the culprit! Glad it's sorted now :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djdzam:
YES thank you. Did the same thing on mine with TB and yay my camera and gallery doesn't freeze. I too have the Plex media server on my network as well as 6 other DLNA devices but the AllShare did it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] levite805:
I experienced slowness too in the stock gallery. I think it is related to 1) storing on the SD Card and 2) pulls the Facebook albums (for me at least).

QuickPic was the solution for me. Works great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] psyv01:
Nothing helps...

Well, I have tried everything in this thread that has been previously suggested and nothing significantly helped me. Only thing that made any noticeable difference was stopping the AllShare apps and services. The actual Gallery app loading did not speed up. Once the app loaded, the image folders then loaded very fast.

My wife and I both have a Note 2. Her's did not do this until here recently. She has had her's for around 2 months now. Mine however, has done this straight out of the box. Even before ever putting a micro sdcard in the phone. This shows me that the issue is not to do with a micro sd card in my case.

The Gallery app loads even slower when opening it through other applications. Mainly to attach a image to a MMS or email. This issue being resolved would allow me to consider this the best smartphone I have ever owned. Wish there was a solution to this.

I will update if I can find anything more out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hamsterskate:
Mine is fast! I have around 1000 pictures on an old micro sd and still fast. Just debloat your phone and you will see the difference!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] doormouse:
Just fixed mine

I had a lot of photos in picasa web, (several hundred) I thinned that down to almost nil, wiped the data for the gallery app and BAM barely even painfully sluggish. The app is so pretty but steers like a Peterbuilt.

SNS is the problem

I disabled "SNS" under Settings/Application manager (no more anything from my Facebook page in Gallery app :highfive: ) and Picasa sync under Accounts/Google then cleared data and cache in Gallery. Rebooted and now it works like a charm. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tjubb:
I just installed Nova Launcher and now the gallery is ultra fast. Not sure why/how that would make a difference but I'm not complaining!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] aniruddo:
Clear cache and disable Picasa sync

I had the same problem on my Note 2. It doesn't have anything to do with the SD Card. My problem was resolved simply by clearing the cache under Applications>All>Gallery and disabling Picasa sync. Now my gallery is as smooth as butter! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nyceme:
if you use Dropbox....

I was having the same slow down issue. I disabled my Dropbox sync setting. under accounts/backup options/cloud. I disabled the pictures and the video so I believe it was going out to the net every time and resyncing every dropbox thumbnail, everytime. If you have similar problems, Picasa would probably do the same thing and that explains why everyone's having those troubles look for something like a cloud service that keep resynciing. There may be others.

Its possible the device you're pairing to doesnt use a pin

My car bluetooth worked with my galaxy 3 and it asked on that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] darkkterror:
Are you actually having any trouble pairing devices or simply concerned that it doesn't ask for a pin code? It has been my experience that recent phones nowadays seem to realize that most bluetooth devices have a default pin code of 0000. As a result, they may not ask for the pin code simply because they can already know it without being told. I can't remember the last time my phone actually asked for a pin code when I paired a bluetooth device.

For example, I decided to pair my Motorola S10 just now. My Note 2 did not ask for a pin code and yet the device paired and is functioning perfectly.

Yes however it doesnt connect to the bluetooth device. It says it can not connect.
