cannot access photo gallery

Have had phone for six months, no problem accessing photo gallery.  Now, when I click on the gallery widget, the gallery will not come up.  I have turned phone off and on, still will not work.  Thoughts?

 

Also, how do I know if the Gingerbread update is on our phones?  My wife and I have been experiencing some random issues the past few days---issues we didn't have previously.

 

Thanks.

re: Photo Gallery --  if launching of the Gallery just closes, it is most likely due to a corrupted file in the Gallery. You can do a Search in this forum for other suggestions and methods to fix it ... but when I had this problem, I just plugged into my computers USB port and MOVED my images from the phone to my computer, then 1 by 1 viewed them - looking for the culprit. Thn copied the remaining ones back - or just the ones I really wanted.

 

Also, you can download the free app called 3D Gallery - it seems to be able to deal with corrupted images better than the stock gallery.


Good luck.

If you are still having problems opening the gallery try going to 

 settings>apps>manage filter by all or running>camera - clear data

 

If that doesn't resolve your gallery issues, try  removing  the SD/Memory card and try opening gallery & the place SD/Memory card  back in the device .  You can also try to place the card in another phone or in a memory card reader on a computer  to see if you can view the pictures that way;  If you are still not able to open the gallery, you may have a corrupt SD card that would need to be replaced.
