I have had my Note II since December and I have just now started having my gallery freeze up everytime I try to open it. I tried this with WIFI on and off and I have also turned off Allshare Cast. Does anyone have any suggestions? My phone is made in Korea.

Hi guys,

I have a bone stock Note 2.
Since a couple of days ago, the gallery has been acting really weird. It would lag, freeze, ask to close/wait and even crash. When i zoom into the image, it would jerk and jiter even if my hands are of the screen. The upper part of the phone around the area of the sd card reader and front part fo the screen would become really warm to touch.

This is all of a sudden, mind you. Ive never experienced any lag in the gallery. I use it all the time over wiwfi to send images to my dlna connected devices without a hitch.

I thought my sd card was going back. i replaced the 16gb kinstaon card with a 32gb sandisk, and it hasn't made any difference at all. SAme problem.

The problem is alleviated if i switch wifi off. But ive never had to do that before. I have always hd wifi on and connected all the time with no problem until a few days ago.

I have all sync's off including cloud sync. There should be nothing syncing in the background.

Its not the sd card, it cant be the sd port as it works fine with wifi off... so im at a lost as i have no more ideas on what to trouble shoot.

Im thinking it may have been an update that i did not notice maybe? All share cast is not samsung link... dont know if that would do it...


I do hop ei get some insight to what is going in with my note 2.

Anybody else having similar problems or a solution?

Any and all help is much appreciated.




Edit: tried new card,.. same thing.
tried hard reset, and still same thing...

what else can it be?
hardware failure?

only with wifi on though.... :(

Ok. I was able to previously select "content on device" only on 4.1.2 but can't on 4.3. Turning off Plex fixed the issue... But there is definitely a bug in the gallery app causing this.
