Droid X freezes sometimes when I go to look @ pics I have taken

I received my droid on the 16th and for the past week or so when I go to look at a picture I just took or in my gallery the screen turns black. I have fixed it by resetting the phone but it is a pain and definitely not good when friends see it happen. At least not for the phones appeal. Please let me know if you have experienced this. My system is up to date so I already know that is not the issue.

This really isn't so much as a problem but a resource design, since the device saves photos on the SD Card when the photo album has to scan folders for image changes that sometime can take a minute to render the images, especially  if there are a large number of images to scan, some application create a cache file to speed this option up but I am unsure if the default album uses this configuration.  Please remember that the album can not access the cards images when unit is mounted to pc and this causes the application to rescan the card upon dismount to reflect any new files that may have been added during the storage card mounted process.
My suggestion that should cut down on access time is to use the .nomedia fix to hide any images not needed to be shown in album, its preatty simple to do...
1. Open up a new Notepad through start menu shortcut. Always open a notepad not just create a new Notepad by clicking desktop because it wont work that way.
2. Leave blank and click File Save As.
3. Name file".nomedia" (HAVE TO HAVE DOT AT BEGINNING)
4. Change "Save as Type" as All Files (*.*)
5. Save File
6. Now just copy this file to any folders that you want to hide from album, when placed in top folder will hide all images that are also contained in sub folders of the folder.
7. Reboot... All images you hide are now removed and album (but you can still access the files through any file browsers) and now album will usually load the other images faster that will minimize the lag or freezing during this process.
Hope this helps.

  • Freezes sometimes when connecting to iTunes and an error

    Sometimes when I connect my Classic to the PC sometimes my iPod freezes and I have to do a hard restart on it, this happens like 50 percent of the time.
    It's still under warranty so should I just get it fixed or is it something I can do in the firmware?
    Also I'm fixing the album art issue and I read to uncheck sync and then recheck sync the Display album artwork on my ipod, but then it doesn't go too far until I hit an error. (-50) what does that mean?

    In that particular context, a -50 can sometimes be indicating a corrupt piece of album artwork.
    Does the 50 always get thrown on the same song? If so, does deleting the artwork from that track allow the display artwork to sync through properly?

  • Why does biobench freeze sometimes when starting to accuire data?

    Sometimes when I try to start logging data it will not display any data and the time axis will not advance. If I hit the "Stop" button, it will stop after a short delay. The only way to get it to work again is to reboot the computer. Any suggestions?

  • Im using my Ipad 2 and sometimes when I try to look a photo on facebook te screen turns black

    Hey !
    I was using my Ipad normally when I tried to look some photos on facebook and suddenly the screen turns black, but everything else works good, i just need to press "back button " and I can turn to Facebook and the screen looks normal.
    I would really appreaciate if you can help me.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Firefox freezes sometimes when I try to open a web site in a new window.

    For the past few weeks I am having an intermittent problem with firefox freezing. It happens when I try to open a site in a new window. Most of the time I have to go to task manager to close it and re-start. And almost always when I re-start it freezes for a second time and then I have to open it a third time. Usually if I try to restore a session it will happen over and over again so I have to start a new session. I have windows 7 and the latest version of firefox.

  • Droid bionic freezes pc when unplugging

    OK i just got  the new droid bionic. i used my PC to put my ringtones on it and when i disconnected it my PC froze so i had to force it to shut down. this has happened every time i unplug it from my PC. i have restarted my PC, updated the drivers , and changed the USB settings on the phone. I have searched  many forums and none have mentioned this problem.please if someone can shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated 

    Are you just unplugging it or are you clicking on the usb symbol and removing the usb the safe way. If you are just unplugging it, this may be your problem. There is a right way and a wrong way to disconnect any usb from your computer. Check your particular computer for the correct way.

  • 2009 Mini freezes sometimes when left idle.

    Does anyone else get this problem?
    This is the second Mac mini as the first one had the same problem!
    Only does this two or three times a day. The mouse icon will still move but nothing reacts to it. I have to re-boot to get it going again.
    It is connected to a standard Mac wired keyboard and Mac wired mouse.
    Connected to the internet via Ethernet cable to a cable modem NTL box.
    I haven't yet loaded any extra software, it only has what it came with as standard.
    Hope someone can help.

    Same problem here. It freezes from time to time for 5 seconds or so, then everything is ok again. Even when playing music in iTunes, it becomes silent and then the music starts again. I changed the ram (and the hd as well), do you think this could be the cause?

  • OS X freezes (sometimes) when plugging in my USB headphones

    I have USB headphones and a MacBook Pro. If I plug in my USB headphones into my MacBook Pro for the first time since the laptop has started up, then chances are that OS X will freeze, and then I force a shutdown and a restart.
    Once the laptop is back up, then I can safely plug in my USB headphones and not have a freeze again.
    Can someone tell me why this happens? It's a fairly regular occurrence and happens as I explain above; during the time that I plug the headphones in, I am not usually doing anything process-intensive on my computer.
    Help please!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi GaryKing,
    Thanks for your answer.
    As far as I know your headphones are not working as expected, why don't you try to install a driver?. I have to work with quite a few different type of printers and MFD, those might work or not depending on the driver you have installed on your MAC for them, you always can use the postscript driver that comes built-in on Mac OS X for your printers/MFD/Headphones or whatever you have attached on your Mac but it doesn't mean the device is going to work with all the potential.
    I would like to know, if you don't mind, if the headphones work with the original drivers.
    Regards

  • I was able to look at my pictures taken without having to comlpete an action. Now when I want to look at my pictures taken it is asking complete action using Gallery or Photos. Why is it doing this now?

    Just got this phone and trying to understand everything. Verizon does not have a very good instruction manual for this phone.

    That is because Verizon does not make the phone and therefore does not make the manual for the phone.
    You weren't asked to choose an app to look at the photos when you took them because you were already using an app, the camera, and didn't need to open an app in order to look at the photos.
    Normally when you look at photos, you will use "Gallery" or "Photos" however there are other apps you can install in order to look at them. If you are already in an app which has the capability to open photos, you would not be prompted to choose another app to open in order to view them.
    Since you are simply trying to look at your photos and not simply reviewing them after taking them, you don't already have an app open with photo viewing capability. Your phone, therefore, is asking you which app you would like to view the photos with. Try both, use the one you prefer.

  • I have updated my iPad mini and now when I watch videos or photos I have  taken I cannot zoom or pan around. Please help

    I have updated my iPad mini and now when I view videos I cannot zoom or pan around like before

    Quit the mail app and reset your iPad like this:
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • IPOD FREEZES SOMETIMES

    1. This doesn't seem to happen all the time but sometimes it seems like when I have apps on my TOUCH(for exp. WIfinder & ibowl) my touch FREEZES sometimes. Why is that? I did a reset a few days ago to see if that worked but today at work I was like listening to music & doing someting else & it FROZE.
    2. When I was searching the boards I found someone minched the "WIfiner" app. I hit the "att" wifi and then connect & it said "filure-7" what does that mean?

    I took my ipod in today (Sat) to see if they could do a quick Diagnostics to see why it freezes every so often. I told him it seems to freeze sometimes when I install apps, sometimes on the keyboard when you type a WI-FI password. He siad I had a few problems with it & he was going to order me a new one. I also did RESORE yesterday via itunes & later on within settings.
    Is this a good idea to get a new one or will this keep happing sometimes?
