Because, the Media Scanner has never run on my GNex.

It was obvious, eating the battery life from 1% ... 2% ... 3% ... quickly after rebooted.

It has never done like that, not at all running every reboot.

As I said, I don't know what happen with your N7, as I can "fixed" it the way I described.

Sure, if you checked all the Google Code bug report, it said "released" as probably "suppose to be fixed". Which apparently, NOT.

Have you reported on the official Google Support forum? If not, I would advise to do so.

Yeah, right...

I called Nexus Support yesterday. After giving me the runaround about the navigation apps misbehaving (they weren't even running) I finally convinced her to kick it up to Level 2 support. They are supposed to get back to me by email...
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
I noticed this wasn't even an issue until I started setting alarms in the clock. Maybe having an alarm uses media services?
[Nexus 7 General] bennor3814:
Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. One of the option settings for the Alarm is the option to set the default ring tone.

Galaxy S3

I'm having the exact same problem on my S3 for the past 2 months, I've already wiped the phone twice, restored to defaults, and the problem resurfaces every time i have an OTA update, better battery status shows Media scanner Service running at all times and CPU spy shows my phone runs at 1400 mhz at all times as well, which explains why my phone starts to get warm, I'm on stock ROM, the S3 still doesn't get Jelly bean, Im on ICS, so why does this exactly happen? its not specific to a certain model, so is it a Samsung thing? or a Google thing?, i had the note and it had the same problem,:crying: i was hoping the S3 would have this resolved, and from reading this form its also seen in Jellybean.
[Nexus 7 General] Vertron:
Has anyone tried the fix I linked above yet?

It works perfectly for me. Media storage runs in background just like before, it's only the media scanner service that gets disabled. Then you can use 3rd party apps like QuickPic to view all the media instead.
[Nexus 7 General] RichAP:
I've had this same problem on my Galaxy Nexus since installing JB.

The 1st time I got rid of it but re-lockign and then unlocking my bootloader to erase the SD card partition.

I then did a factory reset and used the Toolkit to go back to ICS stock image.

After going back to stock I rooted and went back to a JB rom and it went away for awhile.

The media scanner high cpu recently came back and I'm not sure what caused it...I'm possibly suspecting an app like Foursquare or Untappd that take pics and saves them somewhere. Right now it runs for about 15 minutes after a reboot and I only have about 1GB worth of pics & videos.
[Nexus 7 General] Entropy512:
There are definitely major performance regressions in mediascanner since ICS.

As to .nomedia handling - Mediascanner (at least in JB) scans all files on the device. .nomedia only causes them to get ignored as media (e.g. not show up in gallery, etc.) - they're still at a minimum added to the database.
[Nexus 7 General] Neo3D:
How could you tell which directories Media Scanner was scanning? I think I'm having the same issue with my LTE Galaxy Nexus.

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

You could ask Diane, she is quite knowledgeable about the Android battery and power system.

[Nexus 7 General] Winesnob:
Bump.
[Nexus 7 General] Entropy512:
top -m 10 -n 1

This will tell you the PID of the mediascanner process. Usually it'll be the first entry in the list

lsof |grep <pid from above>

This will show all files open by mediascanner - you can see what directory it is in.

I suspect that https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/58ef68905d67e356eb6a05176863cacfbdca75c6 is part of the issue - but I'm not sure. It's hard to revert that without reverting everything dependent on it and possibly breaking something else.
[Nexus 7 General] Neo3D:
This is weird, I tried that but mediascanner isn't showing up?

However, it is definitely sucking up a lot of juice.
[Nexus 7 General] My Public:
Just to confirm: i have the same issue on my SGS (newest CM10 nightly) with 24k map files (png) on the (internal) SD and .nomedia file in the root folder of the maps.

On everey reboot (and on USB disconnect) i must kill the media scanning process to avoid the battery 'eating'...

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Can anyone confirm this? This would explain the issue...
[Nexus 7 General] Winesnob:
Bump again.

This appears to affect all JB devices. My GNex (toro) and Xoom WiFi are both stock and not rooted, and both have this problem on boot. Not a big daily issue since the devices rarely require reboot, but when changing batteries if I can't recharge easily or traveling by air and needing to shut down and restart, impairs usefulness of the device.
[Nexus 7 General] Entropy512:
Terminal Emulator from the Play Store, or an ADB shell.

It's been known since almost the beginning of CM10 bringups - but until I saw this thread I assumed it was some odd interaction of the new mediascanner code with FAT filesystems (e.g. not Google's problem if not happening on Nexus devices) - but now that there are reports of it happening on Nexi, I might try looking into attempting to email someone.

You can confirm this yourself - the source code is out there.
[Nexus 7 General] Neo3D:

What was on my one x
[Nexus 7 General] DZonikg:
I have lots of pictures on my phone and when i instaled JB (previous was GB) my phone was so much slower insted of faster..then i instaled some cpy monitor program and see that media server is always using 70% to even 100% of cpy all the time.

Then i saw that my empty storage after a while got much less.

After searching my internal storage i found that media server created 2 hiden files in dcim/.thumbnails directory which were bigger then 1gb..then i delete them and put .nomedia file all over the place but after few hours that files would be recreated and grow also bigger then 1gb (that 2 files were bigger then all off my pictures on phone together!?)

So what did i do.

I deleted that 2 files again and create 2 folders with same name so that files can not recreate them self..and it worked files never recreated not there not on some other place ..it saved me lot off space and phone start to work normaly and i did not notice any slowdown in gallery (but i like quick picture more)

I hope that this someone help.
[Nexus 7 General] thehousecat:
Any updates ?

Any updates about this issue ? I have this problem with my HTC One X, but it only started after i upgraded from ICS to JB.

Info:

HTC Sense version: 4+

Android version: 4.1.1

MediaServer is using between 25 - 45 % battery constantly.

This is kind of annoying, because the One X isn't known for its long battery life to begin with.
[Nexus 7 General] wizzbang3:
I can't believe this problem has been around so long without a solid fix. You would think google would be on top of this.

I'm having it on my S3 and it makes a great phone a misery.
[Nexus 7 General] vbaros:
I have HTC One X. Problems started after updating to JB.

MediaServer kept my phone wake for about 1.5 hours during one charge and it was always in the top 2 items of the battery usage list.

I solved the problem by doing this:

1. In menu Apps -> Media Storage, Force stop then Clear data.

2. In DCIM folder delete .thumbnails folder which contained two 350MB database files for me and the thumbs.db file if it is present.

After that go to Gallery app and try to see your photos. Media Storage process will restart and recreate all the thumbnails. Close gallery and just leave your phone for a while while it recreates thumbnails.

After it's finished check the gallery if all the thumbnails are there and restart your phone from the power menu.

After reboot all your ringtones and notification sounds should be back to default ones. Just set them again.

After that I only had one database file in DCIM/.thumbnails folder which was 150MB instead of 2x350MB. After next charge MediaServer was keeping my phone for only 22sec wake. Of course if I take a new picture with the camera it will activate but only for couple of seconds per image.

It finally worked and my phone feels so much smoother without MediaServer constantly working in the background.

I noticed one more thing. I have a new folder in DCIM folder called Corrupted which is just bunch of small thumbs.db files and folders which do not take too much space.
[Nexus 7 General] Sl0re10:
I had the problem on my samsung galaxy 7 inch 2 pad after the last OS update. Without root access; I was able to disable the "Media" service (which seems to be 'MediaServer' in the battery view) in application management (under the view all section) and the problem stopped. Disabling it broke the built in Media player (blue and white icon of a music note) so I disabled it, also, for good measure.

PowerAmp seems to be working fine without the Media service app / be a viable replacement. I've yet to add new music to see if it finds it and I don't view pictures on that pad so I don't know what other havoc doing this might cause with Gallery or the camera.

I know most of you would already know this but for everyone else; Pandora still works / it didn't need the Media service.

But on the bottom line; power use is back to normal (pad can sleep 16 hours and use 0-1% battery).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] forza11:
My galaxy S3 connects to my carkit (RNS510 premium from VW/Audi/Skoda) in rsap / remote sim mode by default. This means i cannot continue the call when I want to get out of the car, which is annoying. If i disconnect the carkit from the phone manually and reconnect via the menu in the galaxy i get the correct protocol (not sure what its called, believe a2dp).

Basically i want to disable rsap/remote sim on my galaxy so they always pair via the correct protocol, like it does with an iphone or windows phone.

Anyone knows how to do this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kemi01:
No News on that ? I have the same problem...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jimmyness:
Answer

On your phone, unpair VW phone. Then change your phone's name (not sure about that part, I did it anyway as I was kind of inventing it as I went). Start the pairing process all over again. When after first connection it asks you on your phone for sim access permission, check never ask again and click cancel. That's it. Peace!

History:

It was so great when I was playing with different ROMs last year, they were full of bugs...

I preferred GingerXperia before, I also tried GingerCruzt, Kuyadroid, GingerDX (doixanh), Froyo 0.15?, FroyoPro, FroyoBread...

Then sooner, I found out about MiniCM7, it was wonderful, very stable compared to stock ROM... I also tried PrimeHD...

The thing that makes me away with GingerDX v28b is because of the kernel... the system /dex files goes to my ext, so if I wipe /dex via Link2SD (Very important app for me), system begun to FC :silly: [ANNOYING PROBLEM]

I'm pretty busy... college student... My ROM is pretty loaded but I have time tomorrow to try your recommendation...

I'm using MiniCM7 2.2.1 (Best ROM for me currently), nAa-13... I still want to use the same kernel... I'm planning to have the best (for your opinion) themed roms (Android Development Section)...

1. What "Themed" ROM can you :good: recommend me with MiniCM7 2.2.1 features with the same kernel? (If there are bugs, can you state one?)

2. Is it worth changing MiniCM7 2.2.1 to MiniCM7 Nightly Builds :confused:

3. Why does the camera recording in ROMs (MiniCM7, GingerDX, PrimeHD) crashes not FC, when I have recorded more than 10 minutes :confused:

Sorry for disturbing... :fingers-crossed:
