[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
OK, so here's a question for anybody who has the stock ICS install... would you mind installing TeamViewer Quick Support from the market and seeing if it works on ICS? I know it did on GB (used it all the time).

I've flashed erikmm's CM9 beta and I'm trying to narrow down if it's ICS incompatibility or if it's CM9

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dynospectrum:
Confirmed 100% working ;]
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
thanks! it's gotta be CM9 then.

com.android.process.media (Android Media Process is (ab)using CPU)

so, I've tried:

Settings -> Apps -> ALL -> Media Storage -> “Force stop” & “Clear data”

That didn't really help at all(((

community's users suggests following:

* its due to corrupted music/pictures (I don't have any music/pictures on my phone).

* suggestion to reformat sdcard, but toro doesn't have SD card, although through recovery I was able to check filesystem of /userdata mount point (see below):

aside the fact that phone works extremely slow upon boot (due to com.android.process.media) all that high CPU eating a lot of battery (battery life isn't that great to begin with) but thanks to this bug I get to use even less.

after deleting nanodroid's backup (ROM manager), I'm seeing following (through logcat):
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
i read that if you have folders with a lot of media/picture files, it will sometimes hang while scanning. start fresh, factory reset/reflash google factory images.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
i dont want to loose my /data so doing factory reset won't work for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t3h_g3n3r4l:
I had an issue with this at the beginning of the week.

I had read that it was corrupted media files, so I began investigating. I was able to fix the problem by browsing through my pictures and deleting some images that had somehow become corrupted. The corrupted files were just washed out black squares. No SD format / factory reset was needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
i thought that would be a problem) i found one and i delete, restarted my phone and still android media process is at least 20% cpu(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t3h_g3n3r4l:
I had about half a dozen across several folders that were corrupt. I was looking at the android media process consuming my battery in about 3 or 4 hours until I deleted the bad images. I can now make it through most of a day without any problems.

Somewhere in your phone, a corrupted file lurks. It may not be where you're thinking, but it's there. And it's hungry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
i went through all of my gallery and deleted those, yet after restart still doing something and by the time it's done something whatever it was doing i have 90%-70% left!!! AAAAA

is there a way to find those files some other way? can i see some debug information of gallery/android media process and see where hiccup is?

it really kills my battery( anyone has any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
So yesterday I've had it and copy ask of my pictures from my phone to computer and delete them from my phone...

Reboot... and guess what?

It's still using 40/50% of cpu for about first 15 min after I reboot my phone which kills my battery big time(

I need help, anyone??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
is there a way to turn on some detailed debug to figure out what's causing this exactly?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rushter:
I am having the same issue. I found this article but it says the same as the others here.

http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...help/24279-solved-media-using-94-battery.html

If I find anything else out or if you figure something out, let me know also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rushter:
Your pics and stuff are not in the /data folder. You won't really lose anything important. That is the directory a factory reset/data does. It just basically gets rid of the apps that you had installed. If you are already rooted just get titanium backup to restore. I assure you, I had the same problem up until yesterday. The factory reset was the only thing that fixed it.

The /data wipe is not going to get rid of your pics taken with the phone.

If you do a backup first you have nothing to lose by trying.

On a side note, your Galaxy Nexus does have an "sd card" it's just an internal partition.

Hope you get this resolved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
I deleted manually all of my pictures/music yet I still having this issue((

I do have Titanium Backup and I backup my phone regularly, I may try do that...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rushter:
Do the wipe, trust me. A few installs of programs is not an issue. Your personal data is not lost. Just reinstall your shops that you need and if the days is missing restore with titanium backup.

You will keep having these issues until you do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dalepa:
Im having the exact same problem.. Media is 50% CPU, and my S3 gets hot until I stop the Media process after each reboot.

I would like to find a fix before going threw a wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rowansmith:
All,

I found this link. I would post a click-able link but I am not allowed as I am a new forum member - so I am afraid you'll have to type it in the old fashioned way from the image below.

Please head over and "STAR" the bug and/or add your own comments / experience, the more visibility it gets the more likely it is to be fixed.

Cheers.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jazee:
I have a new HTC One X+ running JB 4.1.1 Sense+. I noticed this happens off and on that the phone gets hot and battery plummets. Using Android Task Manager, realtime process viewer and showing system processes setting turned on, I discovered also it is android.process.media consuming the CPU.

I have over 2,800 mp3 files, most are highquality high bitrate, 16GB worth. They are all put into a directory structure based on artist and album name. I'm sure this is what the process is choking on.

The question is, is it some sort of indexing that just takes days or is it going to happen every time I reboot the phone? The USB charge can't even keep up with the batter drain when it is doing this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
every reboot, so don't reboot your phone)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rowansmith:
It happens every reboot. The following workarounds are available:

a) not reboot

b) reboot only when you are connected to power

c) use TitaniumBackup to Freeze "Media Storage" (requires root)

d) Settings -> Apps -> ALL -> Media Storage -> “Clear data”. NB: A Force Stop will result in the process being restarted by Zygote at a later time.

e) delete the large directory structure and directories with 1000's of files.

(c) works indefinitely but things stop working - eg - screenshot fails

(d) seems to work until the next reboot but all of your media is gone from the native library - but this may not effect third-party players/apps

If you're using too much power when charging via USB, you might want to get a plug in wall adapter which can supply more current.

It's a really bad situation and seems to be effecting every build of JellyBean - it's a defect in the core software.

Things which do not work:

.nomedia - placing .nomedia files in all directories, some of the directories or the root directories has no noticeable effect.

renaming files - renaming media to an unknown extension (e.g., picture.jpg -> picture.abc) has no effect

-Rowan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
I personally went through:

deleting broken images inside of my gallery

deleting my music

deleting my pictures

checking filesystem on my /sdcard partition

deleting some large directories that contains a lot of files

placing .nomedia inside of some directories

bloging about this: Android Media Process (high CPU) | alexus' blog

about to commit suiside #$%#&@!)

and almost every time when i (re)boot my phone and i'm not plugged in, i'll lose about 10% of battery in first 10min of my phone is doing something...

Google! fix it already!))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dalepa:
I have the same problem after updating to 4.1.1 on my tmobile s3. Had to remove the micro sdcard. Even after I format the sdcard, the high CPU "media storage" process returns if I add the sdcard back... Drains my battery down fast and my s3 overheats.

This didn't happen before 4.1. Not happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
I went to ROM Manager and deleted all of my backups

logcat now showing a lot of these:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nerdykid:
Hi all, first post here :)

Was thinking about this, didn't think I had any directory structures that were vast and complex, but I discovered that on my external SD card (d2vzw) the clockworkmod backup folder has a folder called blobs in it (used for incremental backups I do believe) that has hundreds of subfolders and files...took the sdcard out, the media process immediately stopped using CPU, I deleted the whole clockworkmod folder, cleared my phone's cache with TWRP, rebooted, popped the sdcard in, and after a minute or so, the media provider process isn't using any CPU at all :)

Hope this helps someone, and thanks to rowansmith :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
I reached out to a developer of Rom manager with this, but didn't get any feedback(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rowansmith:
I thought I had posted an update on this thread, I guess not... my apologies.

Short version: This defect has been “mostly” fixed in JellyBean 4.2. See link below for why I say mostly.

Long Version: Media Battery Consumption - revisited

I've been running the patch in that blog post on a November release of CM10.0 with no issues.

-Rowan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cruhoortwunk:
I had this problem on an Atrix with a custom ROM. I formatted the sd to no avail. I read in a few places that problems were caused by various apps creating large nested folders. The media process 'sh1ts itself' when it tries to index the folders. As my sd was formatted, the offending folders had to be on my internal phone storage.

So I installed treesize free on my pc and plugged in the phone with USB. Then I ran treesize on the phone storage. It showed a large amount of folders under my Opera browser folder and my MyBackup folder. So I cleared them both, restarted phone and it was ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rowansmith:
It's less to do with the treesize and more to do with the characters in the path name. An _ anywhere in the path name will result in that file taking an order of magnitude longer to index. Multiple this by 10000 files and you have a order of magnitude of magnitude.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scifan:
So, I noticed this behavior on my wife's T989 after I rooted it and backed it up using CWM...

I'm wondering if there would be value in seeing what happens with installing TWRP on her phone, deleting the Clockwork folder an doing a backup with TWRP instead... (I think it actually created a clockwork folder in both /sdcard and in /mnt/sdcard/ext (whatever the external sd card mount point is)

At this point, I've disallowed the media storage service/daemon to start... but that's not a real fix... and as noted above has other ramifications...

(and since Tmo is about to roll 4.1.1 on the 13th... (per a source of mine) 4.2 doesn't really help... (she wouldn't let me run a CM build on her phone...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rowansmith:
Find all the files with an SQL wildcard in the path then choose from the following : 1) Rename them. 2) Get rid of the app that caused them to be created and find an alternative. 3) Get hold of the app author, point them at my blog, and ask them nicely to patch. 4) live with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scifan:
So, I don't understand why does clockworkmod have such a large directory structure?

(had ~ 17,020 files, consuming ~ 1.76GB... the size isn't as strange as the total # of files... I had ~ 2-3 backup images... but under twrp the images are ~ 5-6 files per image... that number of files just floors me...)

going to re-enable media storage, and reboot and see if it's back to something closer to what it was doing before I rooted the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rowansmith:
It's not the directory structure that triggers this defect it is the presence of SQL Wild Card characters anywhere in the path/filename.

So if you have 10,000 files named file00001.jpg - file10000.jpg and these files are stored in the directory /storage/sdcard0/My Documents/ then you won't trigger the defect.

However - if these files are stored in the directiory /storage/sdcard0/My_Documents/[/B] then you'll trigger the defect 10,000 times.

By the same logic if these files are named file_00001.jpg - file_10000.jpg

and these files are stored in the directory /storage/sdcard0/My Documents/ then you'll trigger the defect 10,000 times.

However - if these files are stored in the directiory /storage/sdcard0/My_Documents/[/B] then you'll trigger the defect 20,000 times.

If you don't have any SQL Wildcards in the path then you will not trigger the defect. On my S3 running 4.1 it was able to scan 50,000 files (without wildcards) in 4 minutes. 4.2 (mostly) fixes the defect, (see my blog for why I say mostly), so scanning 50,000 files with wildcards also takes only 4 minutes (under 4.2)

-Rowan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scifan:
I'll search for those characters on her phone...

I still don't get it, this wasn't an issue prior to rooting her phone. It's still running a stock rom that's had supersu and busybox added to it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scifan:
This could be a real pain because the camera creates filenames that are "yyyymmdd_6digitnumber.jpg"...

is it only jpg/mp4/3gp extensions that matter for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rowansmith:
Suffix doesn't matter. Every file in user space on the device gets indexed.

-Rowan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psychotropic:
For me it was a corrupt file. I used a program called QuickPic to find it. It was a standard gallery app I had once to hide naughty things (e.g., the app placed a .nomedia file in the folders) and in normal mode would overlook my naughty pics, BUT, I could select an option to Show Hidden and QuickPic magically ignored all the .nomedia files ANYWHERE in the phone and would show every single media file on my phone, SD card, and internal storage.

Never thought I'd use the same pr0n hiding feature to locate corrupt media files and delete them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AralVor:
2 questions :

1/ hasnt it been fixed since ? (i read somewhere it has but i forgot where)

2/ could you list those SQL wild card characters? From what i can read most important ones would be :

- "_", "%", "[", "]",

But inside brackets you could also have "-" ?

Thanks

on my device, android media process takes quite a while, reactivate each time phone is rebooted or SD mounted (which is logical), but it shouldnt be so long since i removed "_" from all of my pictures for example, so i dont know.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] vegastore:
Sorry for my english.

I have a big problem.

The Galaxy tab 2 have write to package that the recorder video is Full HD (1080P) and the manual pag. 67, reporting that the video is 1280x800; why?

I have speak with Samsung Italy, the response are: you are right, sorry, i send immediately a email to Korea.

Please you tablet records video at 1080p?

Ettore Ribaudo
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mkvarner:
It doesn't say 1080P recording but playback. It says HD on recording, but not full-HD. My P3113 records in 1280x720.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] vegastore:
The package says Full HD (1080P) HD Playback & recording!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tw1ztidmopho:
Actually, it says full 1080p HD playback and HD recording. It could be misleading if you don't catch that.

Edit: The recording is in HD, just 720p...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] scottx .:
Maybe if you posted it in English.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mike02z:
The box is technically accurate but misleading. HD is anything 1280x720 or higher resolution. It will play back 1080P videos but will down convert them to 1280x720 since this is the tablets native resolution. It cannot playback 1080P videos at 1080P but it does not say that. It says it will play back 1080P videos. It should note *at 1280x720 resolution*. The only way it could play back full 1080P is if the screen resolution was 1920x1080 which it is not. It records in 1280x720 which again, is HD. If your planning to record HD video on this tablet I'm afraid you are going to disappointed. Quality is not that good in my opinion.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Dralanmage:
My box says "HD (720p) Playback* & Recording"
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] vegastore:
Why in Italy have FULL HD and in other Country HD?

I have buy a Tablet Full HD, i am now a tablet is not full hd, because the screen is 1281x720.

Ettore

P.s. post your image.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Dralanmage:
Do you have a tab 2 7" or 10"? The 7" has a 3MP camera and thus can only do 720p. I think the 10" has more MP and can do 1080p recordings even though playback won't be 1080p. If you copy the recording to a computer, playback will be 1080p. Does that make sense?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] vegastore:
No, it makes no sense, but if you sell a product for 1080P playback and recording in, because I can not see it on my tablet?

Also, if records in 1080P, how can I see if the screen is 1280x720? This is called false advertising in Italy

My tablet is 10".
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] dicksteele:
Not really false advertising if it says HD playback not specifically 1010p HD playback.

I'm not trying to be a ****, but is not the purpose of recording videos , to share them. Therefore the 1080p playback on anything other than YOUR tablet is the desired outcome.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Dralanmage:
The OP may be right. I don't have the 10" model and my 7" specifically says 720p with a 3MP camera. Looking at this, it appears the 10" model has the same camera and also records in 720p. Can someone else confirm?

http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_2_10_1_p5100-4567.php

Maybe you should complain to the store you bought it from and ask for a refund if you are unhappy with it.

For myself, my galaxy nexus does 1080p video (but my display is 720p), and it is much more portable and convenient to use for recording. If I record a video, I prefer to watch it on my computer or TV. For me, the tablet is more of a portable web browser, gaming platform, eBook, and media streaming box. I can understand if you made your purchase for other reasons though.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] LifeWOutMilk:
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113 and the box states "HD Video Capture and Playback", it doesn't specify 1080p or 720p on the box at all. The included recording app will let you choose a maximum resolution of 1280x720 for video recording.

Edit: http://www.samsung.com/us/system/co...tsyxar/Galaxy_Tab_II_10.1_Spec_Sheets_v13.pdf shows 1080p playback at 30fps and says nothing about the resolution of recording video, only that it has a 3MP camera.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] RomsWell:
You can't tell the difference between 1080 and 720 on anything smaller then a 32 inch screen anyways.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] LifeWOutMilk:
I agree, however, the issue the OP has is that he was expecting Full HD recording, which the Galaxy Tab 2 is not capable of.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] likeurface:
I am getting an error when my phone tries to scan my external sd card. It says "preparing SD Card" for a second or two, but then it says "Blank SD Card". I looked this problem up on other threads, however, I dont think it would be necessary for me to format it. This is because one out of every 20 or so times it scans the SD card it actually picks it up and gives me the details about the card (space, etc.). But it then says "removed SD card". I am confused if this is a problem with the SD card itself, or if it is a problem with my phone's SD card slot. Any help would be appreciated because almost all of my info is on the card (contacts, documents, school stuff) Thanks in advance!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Do you have another reader for the card? If so, pull the data, format through Windows and then put the data back on. (When I had issues it was something about permissions last time...)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] likeurface:
I tried to do that and it wont work because on my comp it says that it did not recognize my phone. I reinstalled the drivers and it still wouldnt work. It somehow read the sd card right now (the phone did), so im trying to do some data backup and such if the problem persists, which im sure it will
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
He meant an external card reader. You would take the card out of the phone. Do that copy it all over to desktop. Format the card. Put the stuff back

If you're having MicroSD card issues
