Motorola Xoom :: Gallery Is Devouring Battery
Nov 15, 2011
I've finally decided to do I just got the customary 14% charge warning, and so I open up Settings > Applications > Battery Use and Gallery is listed as consuming 44%.This is crazy, especially since I haven't even USED Gallery since the last time I charged (which was done following an auto-power down fwiw).I thought about going into Advanced Task Killer and seeing if I could change the settings to make it really aggressive against Gallery, but it informs me that all "green labeled" tasks are "front apps" that can't be killed directly. Manually killing it gives no joy -- the damn thing is right back in the list like some annoying Warner Bros. cartoon character the next time I open ATK.
I used to brag about the Xoom's battery life, but it's getting so I can't any more.I have not yet sent in my Xoom for the 4G upgrade; currently running build number HTK75D, but this has been an issue long before this build.

Just got the 4.1.2 OTA update and can no longer find the camera or gallery apps. Not in the app tray, or in the "all apps" list in settings. I can't even open the camera from the lock screen, the icon is still there, but it does nothing.

When i look at a slideshow in the Gallery app, it zooms in on the photos before it transitions to the next. I realize they're just trying to be eye-catching, but I find it to be a distraction. i can't seem to find any slideshow settings for Gallery in the Xoom.

I'd like to make a slideshow in chronological order of my pictures from the oldest to the newest one. However apparently there is no way to select this order, only inverse is possible in gallery (newest to oldest).

How can I transfer pictures which I can see in Gallery to my PC? When I use ES File Explorer or File Manager those apps cannot find these pictures on the internal storage or external card but those albums and photos are visible in Gallery. The file manager apps see some albums but not all of those visible in Gallery. The PC cannot see them either using Windows Explorer as it only sees the same albums which the Xoom file manager apps can see.

I have updated my Xoom to 3.1 and now have my sd card active. I have put a picture (jpeg) folder onto the sd card, and now I want to link the folder to the Gallery shortcut on my tablet so that I can show my pictures using the Gallery shortcut instead of having to go via my file manager app and then selecting the individual pictures on the sd card.

After the upgrade to ICS (obviously my XOOM wrongly assumes its T-Mobile Germany) my picasa albums are no longer showing in the Gallery app.In Settings -> Accounts & sync -> <my Google account> the "Sync Picasa Web Albums" is missing (not just unchecked - not there). All sync options are checked.I tried deleting an readding my google account and a factory reset without succes. Picasa albums are still not there. My picasa albums are not public but showing fine on my Transformer Pad (also ICS 4.0.3).

For example, I have one album folder with 500 photos in it.. It started with 500 pics in the folder, next thing I know there are 1000 photos in the same folder.. Duplicates of the original 500... Now the same folder contains 1500 photos, 3 copies of each of the original 500.. This is happening with all the gallery folders.. They all have 3 copies of each pic in each folder.This is the first Xoom released LTE-WI-FI model,Can anyone give me a reason why they keep multiplying like rabbits.. All the photo folders are stored on the ext. Micro SD card.. So instead of having roughly 2000 Pics as it should be, I now have 6000... Why would each folder now contain 3 copies of each pic..

After my update to 3.2 I am unable to play any movies from my gallery that are .mp4 or .m4v format that worked before. When you click on a movie the Screen Fades but nothing plays.

Up till now I had been playing with a non US 3.1 Xoom. I would stick video content (mainly avi files encoded as divx) in the Movies folder. Selecting the Movie folder from Gallery would show all the content but the only program that would play them was Rockplayer which I had installed.
I know have a US Xoom with 3.2 firmware. With the same type of content in the Movies folder together with a MP4 file encoded with Handbrake to specs that the Xoom can play, Gallery only shows me that MP4 file. The other files just don't show up at all. The only way I can play them is to use ES Filemanager to browse that folder and click the filename to play it or use Rockplayer's explorer interface.

How to delete unwanted picture data from gallery (XOOM) It's not that simple, in this case. I recently discovered somehow I had downloaded over 490 images into my gallery. Some 21 say Blogger pictures, and 459 are entitled from my Wordpress blog. I don't have a clue how they got on my tablet, and there are many duplicates. The option to delete was not there, just a bunch of places to send the pictures to: Picassa, Gmail, email, etc.
Go to Settings > Applications>Manage Applications > All, and scroll down to find Gallery. Tap to open it up, do a Force Stop first, if open. Then tap Clear Data. I only had 12 pictures on my tablet at this point so I emailed them all to myself, in the event they went poof. Then I held my breath, hit Clear Data, then went in and looked at my Gallery. The downloaded data was gone, all 490+ pictures, and the best part is, my pictures were still there! Those, I can delete from the Xoom, no problem.
Next, I went back into my Gallery, and to my dismay, right before my eyes, those 490+ pictures that were gone, began reloading back into my gallery! Where are they coming from?!?! 21 of them say Blogger Photos, and 459 are entitled "Stella's Blog". I don't have either app on my tablet, I can access either blog by using my browser, and have only done so a couple times. Next, I rebooted the tablet, went back to check the Gallery, and yes, the images were gone, but then they came right back again....where are they coming from and how do I get rid of them permanently?

Running ICS on Xoom Wifi. When creating a photo gallery widget, and selecting a single image, then go to crop, it seems to freeze the tablet on Saving Picture... prompt. Touching the controls icons won't do anything, just blank screen.I have to wait for a few, then the launcher freeze popup saying wait/report/stop. When creating photo gallery widget from album or shuffle, it works. It just doesn't work with single image. I think this is a bug, repeatable with any images.if I have space left, it says 28.11 GB free.

I have deleted 4 pictures in the gallery app from the sdcard/pictures directory. I exited the gallery and returned some time later and ther is now a seperate album showing 4 pictures with no thumbnail and the won't open. These blank pics have the same file names as the ones deleted and are stored in the same directory. Getting info on these pics shows the original file size and name, but with a resolution of 0x0 and they can't be opened. Exploring the sdcard/pictures directory with file explorer does not show the 4 files in question.
Update- I shut down my Xoom and restarted. Launched the Gallery app. The blank picture album appeared momentarily and then disappeared.

Is there an app that can accurately measure the condition of the battery similar to software in notebook PCs? My battery is coming up to 15 months old and I notice this past week it doesn't seem to be as good at holding a charge.
Has anyone used Motorola Service to replace the battery yet?

Just got my upgraded XOOM back a few days ago, and I've noticed that the battery life is far, far worse than it was before I sent it away. I mainly use my XOOM for reading ebooks, so I nearly always have airplane mode on. Before the upgrade, I could go several days, sometimes even a week before having to charge the battery, even with occasional excursions outside airplane mode.
However, after the upgrade, I can have the XOOM fully charged, in airplane mode, read for an hour just before going to sleep, shut off the screen, and wake up the next day with 60% battery remaining, as opposed to being in the 90-95% range before the upgrade.
The battery usage app shows 87% screen, 11% idle, 3% drmserver. One strange thing I've noticed is that under Settings > About tablet > Status, I see this:
Network: Searching for service
Signal strength: -120dBm 16 asu
Mobile network type: Unknown:0
Service state: Radio off
Roaming: Not roaming
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Why would it be searching for service in airplane mode? Did something break in 3.2.2?
So my questions are:
1. Is anyone else experiencing the same symptoms as above (reduced battery life after upgrade, screen showing most usage)?
2. Is there any way for me to downgrade to 3.2 in order to see if that helps? I don't care if that disables 4G, since I'm not in a 4G coverage region.

I have a completely standard xoom and noticed that its getting really warm even when in idle. It started happening last week. I thaught it might be an app I downloaded so uninstalled all new apps. Still getting warm and bad battery performance. So I done a full factory reset and still getting the issue.

I have had my zoom for 3 or 4 months,maybe longer, and I notice that my battery life is slowly decreasing in time available before having to re-charge. I bought my xoom as reburbished, but understood it had the same warranty as if new bu Motorola. Initially I could go 2-3 days without charging, just by letting the unit go to sleep. Now it only lasts for a day or day in a half.
