Gallery is driving me nuts!

Hi all,

I just replaced my original Droid (had it from about the day it came out) under warranty because it started going crazy (emailing people on its own, etc.).

Well, I was just putting the new Droid through the paces and my experience browsing pictures in the Gallery is not going well. Many times when I try to flick a picture left or right to go to the next or previous pic, instead of doing that, my Droid either zooms in on the pic or moves the picture to a different part of the screen (what the hell is the purpose of that!?!?). I don't remember ever being frustrated by this on my last Droid.

Anyone else having the same issue? I've figured out that for landscape orientation pictures if I flick the part of the screen below or above the pic it does seem to go forward or backwards reliably but that doesn't work well with portrait orientation since there's no real empty space above or below the pic. Should I just throw in the towel and download a 3rd party photo viewing app? Thanks!

 

Thanks for the response! The issue isn't with the photos themselves. It appears that the algorithm that determines whether or not you're flicking to get to the next picture or the previous picture is not working well. The program thinks I want to zoom in instead of interpreting the flick as a command to go to the next picture. Is anyone else finding this sort of behavior?
