Hi there,
i am a big fan of HTC sense in general but one thing that prevents me from using htc sense contacts app is the slow loading time of contacts pictures.
If you scroll down the contacts list fast you will see a black default picture for each contact though there is a picture assigned. it just takes about 1 sec to load the custom pictures assigned to each contact.
my question: is it possible to change the cache settings for contacts app so all contacts pictures are loaded at startup when using this app?
there are several other contacts app (like EX Dialer) which do it better but i would like to use almost every app of HTC Sense because it is a persistent ecosystem with almost same look and feel for each app.
(i hope this was not too complicated)
Anyone got an idea?
not a single idea? common people...this is XDA developers forum....means you are the best of the best of the best
I'd try to delete the whole contact storage and re-sync again.
What ROM you are on? I am not experiencing this issue on IsertCoin 2.7.0, but if I remember correctly I had it in the past while on 4.3 Sense 5

Has anyone noticed this bug with JPY?:
When you first boot and open Gallery it is super fast with all the thumbnails preloaded. After a couple of hours when you open it again it says "Loading images" and re caches the thumbnails again taking some time. This is especially evident in folders with a lot of images. It would be ok for an hour and then bam! Loading images slowly when i open it again.
Clicking on a folder opens it with the first four pics showing and then scrolling you have to wait a few seconds for the thumbnails to appear whereas when it initially booted all the thumbnails were already there. Its like it deletes the thumbnails after a while and has to generate them again which takes some time especially if you have a lot of folders and pics.
Is this normal, I don't remember this in my old firmware? Its the only thing that is bugging me. Maybe they force close Gallery after a certain time avoid the sensor draining bug that was there with the previous firmware?
Can you please check a see if yours is the same so i dont have to do a factory reset
you can download SGS tools from the markup and upgrade your gallary app.. that's what i did and i don't have any problems with the gallery anymore..
goodluck
The gallery app in SGS tool is not compatible with JPY because of the new feature of selecting wall paper for lock screen. I gave it a try but it would force close everytime i wanted to select a wallpaper.

Absolutely the same and even more.... I have my picasa account connected to the gallery too, after an hour mainly picassa the gallery crashes - black screen, but no force close. Actually this one, the battery (not 100% after disconnecting) and the contacts app not closing, made me go back to JPP.

The contacts bug can be solved by uninstalling the task manager's update.

Yes, go to manage applications, find it and click uninstall updates to go to the previous version, and the contacts app will be ok.

Hi, my mom just got an HTC first, which is running stock android 4.1.2. Everything is working great, except that instant upload is not syncing back to her stock photo gallery. She has Google+ installed and instant upload turned on, and that is all working perfectly. She has a nexus 7 running Android 4.2.2 and the photos she takes on her phone are syncing to her tablet perfectly, but they are not syncing back to her phone. Everything in her Google account is set to sync. I have Force stopped/Cleared Data and cache in the gallery app, but nothing I do gets is to work. I even had her add my dads google account to her phone (set only to sync Google photos), hoping that would force something to work, but his photos are not syncing to her phone either. Please help. I just finally got her to get an android phone because of all the awesome features it has, (Instant upload/Gallery sync being one of them), and it stinks that one of the best features is not working.I know she can access the photos through Google+, but its so much more convenient to have them in your gallery. Thank you for your help...
Does anyone else have this issue? Got my wife the same phone, and the issue is the same. Even if you don't have a solution, please reply with a, "yes I have the issue", or "no, it works for me.” I'd appreciate it.

I'm seeing the same issue here. Weird...

Same thing here. I just bought the HTC First primarily for the stock android, and now the gallery app doesn't work with Google Photos...
It's weird that it is definitely connected to Picasa, as it can upload pictures to albums.
New stock app fixes this issue
The updated 4.3 Gallery/Camera stock app which was just leaked fixes this issue. It will now properly sync with Google Photos and display all your albums. The camera app is also spiffier as a nice bonus! :good:

Yeah, haven't had time to update, but... What he said! Δ I installed with no problems at all.

hi all
i've formatted my completely stock HTC ONE after upgrading to 4.3 and i found 2 issues:
1. when i transferred my pictures and videos from laptop to the phone all photos and videos were showing the same date of transfer and when i view them in gallery the videos appear all one after another , not like how i took them...few photos, one video and one zoe...etc. Its like showing all photos and when scrolling down all videos...
is there a way to fix this? i have a lot of photos from my travel and i would like to keep them in the correct order.
2. my apps where automatically re installed cz i backed everything up on my google account ( an option in the phone ) so i found some of the apps have those old three dots in the lower side of the screen for the settings, the ones cancelled by the 4.2.2 upgrade. anybody knows how i got those back??? shall uninstall and re install again?
any help is appreciated
Thank you
Jamel
Found solution for number 2

Hi. I'm a fan of BlinkFeed....
I'm also a fan of having a home screen page with the large gallery widget.
I know on the BlinkFeed that it has gallery as a highlight option, but for some reason it fails to display gallery images. If I click on the gallery button via BlinkFeed, it says 'no content pull down to refresh'
I'd like it to mix gallery images with everything else that's subscribed to, but gallery is the only one that fails to display.
Any help?

I'm having the same issue, didn't notice it before. i do remember that few pics from my gallery used to appear on my blinkfeed
do you have the data / wifi on ? what happen after you refresh???
It's never worked, the phone is new. I downloaded the tips&help on BlinkFeed, it definetly shows gallery, at first I though I'd have to use picasa.
I pull down to refresh but no images appear. I'll try some settings on gallery

Tried the settings>apps> to any relevant app I could think of to see if I disabled something by mistake. It could be a random named app maybe

Alright, I may have found a connection between BlinkFeed and contact card/my profile on the quick settings tabs. There is a hidden feed on just yourself, like Twitter gallery etc
The thing is, this gallery is also empty

Bit of a solo effort this but I don't mind aha
Ok so this maybe down to settings>accounts&sync>HTC account.
This account has sync turned OFF and is unable to turn on for reasons unknown.

Maybe because I have a Google account sync currently?

I also have google account with sync on bit not the HTC and i remember that it used to works when it was on 4.1.2 but don't remember when it stopped working, after which update i mean.
will search the web more.
sorry for not answering earlier. it's due to different time zones :silly:

one post i found here at XDA that a guy had the same issue but solved it by replacing the gallery app with the 4.1.2 version and it worked for him.
Unfortunately, many people are having this issue without an obvious cause or a solution.
will search more
Is asking HTC a thing that people do around here? Or forbidden haha

Got the same issue. I will try to replace the gallery app, but I don't think so. No one seems to care
I like the option because I like Blinkfeed.
Guys - this problem is driving me up the wall.
I've tried for hours to fix it, but can't find a solution.
When in WhatsApp, when I click the paperclip to attach, then Gallery, it takes me to the "WhatsApp gallery" thing which has all my photos etc. in it. Using the 3 dot menu I can then also choose to go to HTC Gallery or Google Photos instead. That's all fine.
However, when I select an image in the "WhatsApp gallery" and hit the send button, it WILL NOT send no matter what I do. It just returns to that "WhatsApp gallery" home screen with all the folders.
The ridiculous thing is if, by using the 3 dot button and selecting one, I go to either HTC Gallery or Google Photos, I can send anything just fine.
It is simply this stupid intermediate screen that doesn't work!!!!
What is it? And how can I fix it / get rid of it / set default to HTC Gallery?
I've tried clearing data for Gallery & WhatsApp, uninstalling WhatsApp, installing WhatsApp+, moving DCIM folder contents around - you name it, I've tried it to the best of my knowledge.
Please someone tell me what the problem is here, because although it's a very small thing, I use it daily and it's driving me mad!!
Thanks
