Why is the photo gallery running slow on galaxy s5?

A

AC Question

when I access my photo gallery (or any photo in the camera function) it slows down the phone and the photos never appear. This was happening slightly prior to the 4.4.4 update, but has gotten much worse after the update.

If the cache partition wipe doesn't help, go to the App Manager, select Gallery, and Clear Cache/Clear Data, then Force Stop. This won't erase any photos. The next time you open Gallery, wait a few seconds for it to rebuild its database, and then see if the access is faster.

I already did all of that... I had to factory reset my phone, after I did gallery became very slow. Then I got a factory warranty replacement for my Galaxy S5 because my memory card slot stopped working. (Big reason I don't want an S6, because instead of fixing their memory card issues, they got rid of it all together. ) The gallery is now even slower!!!!
