Same issue. Really annoying to scroll through all my pics to fund a few shots I took a year ago. I would love to see the albums working.

Takes a long time to laod thumbnails, so I suggest when you load images onto the phone, open photo app and let it load all the thumbs for 20 mins or so. This will make it easier to scroll and search when you need to. Doesnt seem like you need to do this after every reboot which is nice.

I use sailing media sync but havent paid for it yet so it is slow.
