I'm on my second mytouch 4g... just got it a few days ago after returning my other one. I bought a 16gb sd card at the T-mobile store when I got the first phone.

Took a bunch of pictures with it, looked at them in the gallery, everything behaved as it should.

Got my second phone and popped in the same 16gb SD card, and I didn't notice till just now, but the gallery takes FOREVER to load the thumbnails. Then when it finally does, I click on one, and when I swipe to another, it LAAAGGGGGSSSS badly. WTF? Tried clearing the cache in the "manage apps" menu, but it's grayed out with 0.0 cache.

Any ideas? anyone else run into this?

cheers

p.s. I'm running launcher pro, if that makes a difference
 
Hmm, only thing I could suggest is leaving gallery open for a good twenty minutes or so. Itll let all your pictures load and build a cashe and if not, I dont know what to tell you. Im just taking a shot in the dark
I noticed whatever process is running gets faster as it runs
 
Word. I did try letting it run for awhile... but no luck. Still isn't loading anything into cache, and still taking forever to do just about anything. I only have 50 pics in there and 5 vids.

Just to be clear; how fast does everyone elses gallery run? is it instantaneous? when you go to "manage applications" under settings, could someone verify that the gallery is storing something into cache memory??

cheers
 
Im thinking maybe its the speed of the sd card. I reformatted, but no luck. Ill pick up another and post my results back here
 
this is happening to me too but only after having my phone ON for a day or more. I restart when it does get slow and then it will solve the problem.

I just thought that it should not get laggy just after a day of use.
