Photo Gallery freezing up on Samsung Galaxy SIII

When I open my photo gallery, the pictures show up but I can't scroll through them. If I open the pics thru the camera, I can scroll half way through before it freezes. Any answers?

Hello lilylulu,
Thank you for keeping us updated on the issue on the device. We are just as eager as you to get this resolved once and for all. May I ask have you cleared the data on the device? If you haven't done so then here are the steps on how to do so.
Settings > Application Manager > All > Phote Gallery > Force Close > Clear Data.
After you have tried this step then please share your findings. The results of this step will greatly determine the direction that we need to go in next.
Thank you...

Why can't i import photos from my Samsung Galaxy SII

In the past I have been able to import photos from my phone, a Samsung Galaxy SII. For some reason, I am no longer able to do this. When I connect the phone by USB, two "cameras" appear under Devices in iPhoto. One titled "NO NAME" and one titled "Untitled". Both appear to be empty, neither has any photos available for download. However the phone appears to be functioning properly in all respects. I can take new photos and see in the Gallery that there are any number of images which I have not yet downloaded to my Mac.
Does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting this issue?

A couple of people have mentioned an issue with this device. It appears that the OS is not storing the images in the standard way. Can you use another method to get the pics to your Mac? Bluetooth?

Can i use my Samsung Galaxy SIII on verizon from att?

Im going to switch to att and i was curious if i can use my samsung galaxy SIII from att on verizon.

Verizon uses CDMA for calls and texting. At&t phones do not have CDMA radios as they use GSM. Now the phone does support Verizon's XLTE frequency but not Verizon's 700 MHz LTE frequency. So you won't be able to call or text and only part of Verizon's LTE network will be available to use.

Is there possibility that there is some faults with USB drivers in Mac book Pro! How can i reset or restart usb drivers if fault is there! What else you can suggest to try?
Thanks!
Best regards,

i did went to Samsung Support: here is the result of it:
Isabella: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: Hello Isabella. How are you today ?
Isabella: I am fine. Thank you for asking.
Isabella: Please proceed with the query.
Visitor: I hope you can help me fix connecting issue for Galaxy S II with my Mac Book Pro late 2011. It was working till some day and now it does not recognise it when i connect phone via USB. I should note that on Windows on same machine or on my Mini Mac it works fine. so it can't be problem in wire or usb ports. Could not find answer in Apple forums and in forums they did suggest to turn here! I hope you can help me!
Isabella: I understand that you are finding difficulties connecting device to Mac. Am I correct?
Visitor: yes. but only to one specific Mac. as to others it connects without a problem.
Isabella: Thank you for the details.
Visitor: i think problem is in driver only i can't find how to manually remove from Mac
Isabella: May I know the model number of your phone? To know the model number of the phone, please tap on Home>> Applications>> Settings>> About phone.
Visitor: GT-I9100
Isabella: Thank you for the model number.
Isabella: However as you are able to connect the device to windows and Mini Mac then there is no issue with the device. This seems to be an issue with the Mac.
Isabella: However we in Samsung US do not have the instructions on uninstalling drivers on Mac.
Isabella: I request you to contact apple for support related to Mac.
Visitor: Yess it is probably issue with drivers on that particular Mac. Might be you can guide me to location where Kies or phone driver is stored on mac? I then will try to manually delete is from system or replace from another machine
Isabella: The model number you have provided is an international model and we do not have any information on the device you are referring to.
Isabella: I would have surely provided you with the information if we had the information available with us.
Visitor: If you don't know might be you could escalate to some higher level ?
Isabella: It was a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. If you have a minute, please click on the blue “X close” button to receive a transcript of your chat and fill out a brief survey to help us serve you better. Have a wonderful day!
Chat session has been terminated by the Samsung Agent.
So i was terminated and left without answer. But i did not expect anything else from Samsung Support..
So might be someone of you know where drivers are located? i could try to copy them from one machine to another manualy!!!

Photo gallery freezing; unable to view photos

I have been having problems with my Gallaxy's photo gallery since before the upgrade. When I go into my gallery to view my photos I can't click on one to bring it up and if it lets me scroll through the gallery, it will freeze up. I have done everything that has been suggested from unmounting the SD card to clearing the cache and forcing stop the gallery. I have turned the phone off and removed the battery as well as the SD and SIM card. I do not want to do a factory data reset, because obviously the photo gallery problem is a known issue. I will lose all of things stored in my phone for a temporary solution, I think not. The SD card is not defective as I have checked it out on other phones as well as my computer. If there weren't so many useless apps loaded on the phone, perhaps the gallery would not be an issue. Are there any other solutions to this problem?????

SWebster77,
Yikes! You have done a lot of troubleshooting on your device! We appreciate you taking the time to check into the issue on your own. Before doing a factory reset, I would recommend trying Safe Mode: http://vz.to/1iNs3y3 Safe mode runs the phone without any apps running, which helps to determine if there is an app causing the issue. Also, can you confirm which specific Galaxy model you have? Please let us know if this helps!
Thank you,

Samsung Galaxy SIII Weak Data Signal

I upgraded from an HTC Thunderbolt that I used to be able to stream Pandora, iHeartRadio, etc. while sitting at my desk at work without any problems but with the new SIII I can't do any of that. I also notice that switching form 3G to 4G (3G inside my office to 4G outside) is unbelieveably slow and can't take 10 minutes or more to switch to 4G. On top of that, while I'm at home the wi-fi signal is atrocious. Sitting next to my wife's Rezound showing the best wi-fi signal reception that it can get my SIII won't even show a wi-fi signal. Most of the time I'll have to turn wi-fi off and on several times to get the phone to see the network.
I know Samsung phones have historically had signal reception problems, even as recently as the Nexus, but this is just ridiculous. Hopefully it's just a software issue that can be fixed via OTA update but Verizon isn't exactly known for pushing out updates in a timely manner.
In the meantime I'm stuck with a *** phone that can't do half the things my old Thunderbolt used to be able to do. Maybe I'll just sell the SIII on Ebay and buy and old Rezound (now getting ICS) or a Moto Razr Maxx.

The S2 I owned had perfect data connection, even in areas of poor coverage, and superb WiFi connectivity. The S3 operates identically. I'd suggest a factory reset to begin, and a replacement if that doesn't resolve the issue. I don't think your experience is typical.

Samsung Galaxy SIII will not turn on. Vibrates when battery installed.

As stated My galaxy S3 does not turn on. I have removed the battery and discharged the static energy as many posts have stated. I have re installed the battery and attempted to start phone in safe mode. I can not get the phone to do anything.
Phone does not work.
Re installed battery.
Phone will vibrate every few seconds at seemingly regular intervals.
Would like help finding solution or directions to threads with similar problems.
Thanks for your help hopefully i am able to find a fix.

booperman13,
Zoinks! Sorry to hear you are having trouble so far away. It sounds like it was working fine when you first replaced the battery and you had previously done a factory reset. The computer isn't recognizing it and it isn't charging. So, by process of elimination, based on what you have described it sounds like there might be a problem with the USB cable.
Since you replaced that battery have you tried another charger? That might give us greatly clarity as to the nature of the problem. As you are currently out of our reach, if it works fine with another charger and you need to replace it, I would reach out to Samsung for assistance with finding a local provider that has their charger or usb cable in their inventory: http://bit.ly/1v0IVFI .

When I enter usernames in Firefox mobile (I have a Samsung Galaxy SII), spaces and hidden characters seem to automatically appear in the unsername as I type.

For example, if I tried to enter hefmoz as a username in the username box of any website requiring a username, I would get something like this: h e f m o z. Because of the extra spaces, the website would reject that name. I can back-space after each letter I enter and enter each letter a second time and that generally works. But, whoa! What a pain in the butt (finger, actually).
Thanks in advance for any info anyone might have about this.

Is this on Firefox mobile or Firefox mobile beta?

Where do I put pdfs on Samsung Galaxy SII so I can view them using the Adobe Reader App?

I have PDF files on my PC that I'd like to view on my phone. I downloaded the Adobe Reader expecting a folder to appear that I could copy these PDFs to. Rather like with Kindle. It didn't. Where do I put the files so I can display them using the Adobe Reader App? Of course when I open the app at the moment, I get 'no files available', obviously, I don't know where to put them. I'm probably missing something very simple but your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I solved the problem. I manually created my own Adobe PDF folder by connecting the phone via usb to my PC, Windows Autoplay gave me the option to 'Open device to view files'. Explorer then displayed all the folders on the phone. I created an Adobe PDF folder manually and copied the PDFs I wanted to view into that folder. Adobe Reader then found the files without a problem. I clearly was missing something quite simple but something I'm sure a lot of people would miss. Perhaps if the next version of Adobe Reader for Android created this folder automatically, like Kindle and Kobo and other readers do, it might save a lot of people a bit of a headache.

How can I install Firefox os on my Samsung galaxy siii for Sprint?

Im not very knowledgeable of how to program cellphones and/or computers, but I do know

to follow directions. Any help on my issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My old Galaxy SII is outperforming my new iPod Touch 5!?!

I just got a new iPod Touch 5 Space Gray.
I'm testing it against my old Samsung Galaxy SII.
My old G SII is outperforming my new iPod 5 in a few areas and it's making me very disappointed.
My iPod 5 freezes on online video while my G SII doesn't.
My iPod 5 won't screen-flip while my G SII will.
A few other issues as well is making me wonder if I got a lemon or if the iPod 5 is just buggy.
Not impressed thus far.

My GalaxySII is only running on wifi as I don't currently pay ATT for service.
I'm on a password protected but shared network at home with my MacBook Pro, iPOD5, and Galaxy SII all up and running on the same wifi signal.
I'm watching RT streaming news on livestation on all 3 devices and the iPod5 is the only one with poor resolution and freezing!!
The GalaxySII actually has a considerably larger screen than the iPod5.
There are so many things I love about the iPod5, but to have these things that I use all the time be glitchy straight away is making me blue.

Hi all
I'm really pleased to announce our photo competition winner, congrats to StuartRogerson - one Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 will be on Santa's sleigh with your name on it shortly!
But there's still one Galaxy 2 to be won in part two of the competition - see below for the winning photo from Stuart. We felt this picture best captured the feeling and meaning of Christmas - but what do you think? PM a caption for this photo to StephanieG or SeanD and we'll select the best as the winner, it should be something that captures the spirit of Christmas - it can be funny, seasonal or sentimental. Last day for submitting your captions is 23rd Dec (by 5pm) so get your thinking caps on, we're looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Bluetooth tether ipad 3 to Galaxy SIII

I'm trying to bluetooth tether my ipad 3 to my Samsung Galaxy SIII, they are paired and connected, but I can't access the net with the ipad. I have successfully accessed the net through the phone via Wi-Fi, but I can't via bluetooth tether...?

Unless things changed with the iPad 3, bluetooth is used for headphones and keyboards. It doesn't support data transfer.

HP 2540 printer connectivity to iPad 3rd Generation via Samsung Galaxy S2 hotspot

I guess a more concise although apparently too long of a subject line would be:
Printing with an HP Deskjet 2540 printer from an iPad 3rd Generation using the hotspot of a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone
I'm trying to print documents from my iPad (3rd Generation). I have a Virgin Mobile hotspot, which is the network I am using on my iPad to connect to the Internet. The problem is, when trying to print while connected to this network, I cannot find my HP Deskjet 2540 wireless printer. However, once I turn off the hotspot and connect to the regular (non-hotspot) Wi-Fi network, the printing option appears. The reason I don't instead just print using the Wi-Fi connection is precisely because I intend to get rid of the Wi-Fi; so I'm testing the hotspot/printer/iPad connectivity to ensure I can print prior to canceling my Wi-Fi service.
When my iPad is connected to the hotspot network and I have the document I want to print open, I can't see the printer; however, if I close the document and go to the Wi-Fi setting of my iPad, I can see the different other networks available, including one called HP-Print-73-Deskjet 2540 series. I try to click on it, to see if maybe by accessing that network directly I could return to the document and print it, but it requires a password I don't have.
Now, the questions:
1) Is there a way I can find out my printer password?
2) Would accessing the printer network directly allow me to print documents and browser pages from my iPad?
3) Is there any other (perhaps even more simple!) way I can print from my iPad while connected to my Samsung Galaxy SII hotspot?
Thanks!

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I would look into using "wireless direct" since most HotSpots can't act as servers.
