Gallery is a known battery hog. If you are routted you can uninstall it and replace it with Quickpic. If not, just install Quickpic, force close the gallery and don't use it again.

 

Great advice here! ^^

That's exactly what I did... the Cooliris Gallery app that comes with the OpV desperately needs to be updated. It repeatedly set off Watchdog and caused my battery to get super hot.

 

gallery is horrible. first app i uninstalled when i rooted my phone.

quickpic all the way!

 

Rooted Optimus here but it was so long ago I forget how to find the Gallery app. What app do I find it with as I'd like to do this also. Thanks.

 

Mine's only using 12.00kb? That's not a lot at all?

 

so you're saying that you've rooted your phone and have gallery still installed and want to uninstall it? use titanium backup to backup your apps & data, then find gallery using it, and uninstall it. ta da!

 

Thanks that's what I did and it worked great but now I see that Quickpic won't post a photo to Facebook like Gallery did. That's a Big feature to not incorporate. Now I may go back to Gallery.

 

Menu-> Share -> Facebook

 

what MacFett said.

quickpic works with FB to UL pics, definitely.
