I froze SynceMLSvc and it stopped my media issues immediately. Only thing I've noticed is my text messages doesn't ring. But still vibrates. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eheaps:
That's because when you froze the media it included your ringtones, etc. Same thing happens when you clear media storage data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nojak:
So what's the actual fix, then? Or is there one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
Deleting the blobs folder or changing your backup format for CWM should do the trick

sent from my VZW Galaxy S3 running Synergy Jelly Bean
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonnyboiii:
Your blobs are your data... Deleting those is pretty much rendering that nandroid useless.

But yeah I've had my backup format to tar for a while and I've had no media drain

Sent from my Verizon GS3 on Bean's B6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
Yup...it would make your nandroids useless...I've used a nandroid once in the years I've been flashing ROMs...and the only time i used it was just to see it work

You could also put a .nomedia file in the folder...but I've never tried this to see if it messes with the restore of a nandroid or not

There will be a fix merged into the next CM10 nightly for this. So I wonder if we can take that fix and use it with touchwiz roms. (taking only the necessary .smali files and compiling a new framework.jar of course).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kin2son:
Guys I need some help...

Recently upgraded to JB and getting HUGE battery drain. The culprit seems to be 'media', it used 40% of battery overnight. Any idea?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nojak:
I froze all of the AllShare programs, and that seems to have helped my battery quite a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kin2son:
I think that might be the problem. I disabled allshare cast in settings and it seems to be a lil bit better now.

Need to observe it for a little longer to be sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nojak:
/system/app/SyncMLSvc.apk appears to be the main culprit of this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kin2son:
well factory reset fixed it. Disabling allshare cast didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nojak:
Did you happen to have HD Widgets installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TabletConnect:
This didn't work for me. I kept getting messages about google process not working plus my SD card was not recognized.

I restored my Nano backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shawn01:
Download from the app store rescan media root. Disable media scanner. See if that works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vasp3690:
rescan media root is an option for rooted devices.

If media storage is disabled, then when you use the camera, the phone cannot access your previous photos. Only the ones you take thereafter. So the only way to do things is keep disabling the media scanner everytime you restart the phone(for example to change the battery).

That's annoying as you shouldnt have to .

i recently bought the i9305 and is on 4.1.1. Media storage is only scanning for about 2min at each restart and never goes over 4% of battery usage and the battery is ok.

If there is 4.1.2 in the near future, is it likely to start acting up? Im not keen to root the new phone just yet, esp. if its running ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vasp3690:
Update.

Just upgraded to 4.1.2 and media storage seems to be working ok for now. However I have to admit I don't have that many photos or music on my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xanderman:
I flashed "Cookies and Cream" JB ROM yesterday, no O/C, after setting it up how I want I fully charged it.

Overnight it used over 20% of the battery in 6 hours sitting idle, Media accounts for 42% of that.

I have 281 songs, 3 videos and 65 pictures on the phone, so media scanner should finish in a relatively short period.

There are some picture and audio files in icon packs etc., but I'm wondering if the scanning is taking so much time and power due to backups in Titanium Backup, NAND backups etc.?

Does the scanner attempt to search in those directories, and is the number of media files even a factor... or is it the total number of all files which it searches through to find media files?

The 20% for me seems a little high, but certainly sounds resonable that it is a one time start up, I definitely noticed the battery dropping dramatically during wipes/flashes and setup cycles in the last few days, and the use is a lot more intense than normal so it's hard to find a base-line to compare to.

I think the advice from some of the senior members here is good, to give it some time and see how it pans out, without any of the proposed fixes.

BTW I uninstalled DRM storage since all my media is unprotected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] odoyle81:
I'm reading this thread trying to figure out what the real solution is.

There is alot of talk about SD cards, but what if I have this problem if I remove my SD card?

Why would media still be running if there is nothing to index?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] batteryking:
Great

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rwon512:
I got rid of my media storage problem by using titanium backup to freeze the Google music and video apps in synergy ROM, I use double twist for my music and video needs now. Media server only shows 8% right now..... hope this helps....cheers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cal028:
I fixed my drain by deleting cwm blobs files and backing up as tar
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dreadit:
I'm currently running ARANOIDANDROID 2.53 and I really love how I can change the size of how my apps run and my usable destop space. but the CM10 trebuchet launcher only alows 7x7 which is okay for the colums but it leaves large gaps for the rows. Is there anyway to get past the 7x7 max setting? I found a flash for CM9 but am scared to try it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm not sure about the cm9 flash. But to change the options available you'd probably have to decompile the launcher and edit the code.

Your best bet would be to ask in the thread and hopefully the dev or someone else will have an idea for an alternative launcher or may know if the cm9 one would work. (I wouldn't guess it will as its an ics version being put on a jb rom. But you never know till you ask!)

If you wind up trying to flash a mod like that, just be sure you have a nandroid backup and be certain the mod was made for this device!

[Android Software Development] almyz125:
I have a good idea for an app, and I've already started it. I was wondering if someone with some decent experience developing apps would like to work on this project with me?

About the app: I'm calling it STAMP(Street Art Mapping Project). The idea is that users can take a photo of graffiti, murals, statues, or what ever else they consider street art. Then save its location on a map using the Exif data stored in the jpeg. Users would be able to see the pictures and locations that other users have spotted on a map view. I'd like this to be an archive of street art before it gets taken down or painted over.

Let me know if you have any questions.

If you like the idea and helping me with this project sounds like something you're interested in please let me know and i'll contact you.

Edit: I've had some success taking Exif data stored in pictures and getting an overlay to display on the map that shows a mark at the location the picture was taken.

Screenshots...its ugly right now but, hell its a good start.

First thing that the user sees is the map

options menu

Sat view works

Add tag/ choose picture page

Choose

Image preview

After a long click on the image, Exif info/place tag

Tag is placed where the picture was taken
[Android Software Development] gianptune:
How long do you think your app will last before it gets filled with nothing but pr0n and spam? What would keep me from uploading 100 pictures of my business to your service?
[Android Software Development] almyz125:
The only way i can think of is to have people report and moderate it. It will have to be a community run project. I'm hoping to find people who are enthusiastic about art to keep things in check. Do you have any suggestions?
[Android Software Development] gianptune:
I suppose you could make them register and/or use a cachpa when uploading images. You're also going to have to define "art" for people using the service. I may want to take a picture of a nude homeless man taking a dump by the bushes and upload it. And I'm sure I can convince some people that my picture is art. I can also argue the point that a geo-tagged picture of my business is art. Will I be allowed to share the terrible pictures my kid have drawn with sidewalk-chalk? At some point, you will have to spell it out in black and white what you will accept and what you will not.

Do you know many people that would take their time enforcing your guidelines? Where will the images be uploaded? Do you have enough room on your server for the 1000 pictures I'm uploading of my business to sit while your moderators take their time sifting through them all. Will it be easier for me to upload a bunch of crap pictures than it will be for you to determine that they are crap and take them all down?

You probably want to be able to answer questions like these before you invest much time into making your app. If you dont know how you will keep your service running and keep it nice and tidy and a quality service, then you're not going to keep many users. As soon as your app starts getting people actually using it and the service gets rolling, greedy SOBs will start turning your service into their service. They want to turn your users into their customers, even if that means running your app straight into the ground.
[Android Software Development] almyz125:
Thanks for the information and points! I guess for now I should make the app so users can only see their photos. Just to keep it clean. Until I have a real user base and that way I have the technical details figured out.

So believe it or not you've just changed my mind. For now I am only going to make the app store locations and picture locally on their phones.

A side note, do you think it would be possible to have the users upload them to Facebook, then link the location to the picture. This might solve the nudity problem at some point in the future.
[Android Software Development] almyz125:
Is anyone the least bit interested in this? If you are please let me know and we can talk about sharing the source i have. I think I am going to post on some graffiti forums lol.

[Android Software Development] almyz125:
There will have to be a server side of this too. So i assume that will take knowledge of other languages. My guess is perl. I'm not familiar with python, could you see a use for it? I know a limited amount of perl but i can see it having an impact from the server.
[Android Software Development] Meticulus:
Seems like you just some webspace to upload images and a database to hold location data; and to make that stuff searchable??? right?:confused:
[Android Software Development] almyz125:
Yeah i could make the users give the location a name that is searchable, i didnt think of that.

Well, what I meant was searchable by the location data... sorta like "Show me all the STAMPS in my area"...

Hi,

I formatted my external SDCard with 2 partitions, so I could use it with Link2SD. Since I am on a Mac I only could format the first one, which is FAT32. Now I need to format the 2nd with ext4 but I can only do this from inside the phone. Which is no problem, except I do not understand where I can find the device, I need to format. So, to sum it up: I have already a 'linux' type partition on the SDCard, unformatted, however. And I have a FAT32 partition on it, which gets mounted by Android already. What do I need to issue to the mke2fs command as input?

This is what I get, when issuing 'mount'.

In the recovery under mounts or advanced
[HTC One V] zmix:
Thank you, I tried that first. But that does not help, since I have cwm5 installed, and that only formats up to 4GB. I need to know where I can find it in the /dev directory, so I can issue the path to mke2fs from 'adb shell'.
[HTC One V] Lloir:
you sure??? i've formated my 8GB one with CWM5 before.....try TWRP or CWM6
[HTC One V] zmix:
Could be, that it offers 8 GB as well. I don't remember. But this is a 32GB card I have in use. What I'd need is two primary partitions, one around 6-8GB/ext4, the other one takes the rest as FAT32.

Can I install a different recovery mod, without resetting/erasing the phone? Is it as simple?
[HTC One V] zmix:
Ok, I updated CWM to v6 and re-checked. The max size is still 4096. Also I noted this:

After I left "advanced/partition" and turned on the log this shows up each time I select "show log"

When opening the log I get I: Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd
I:Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblkp1

and the "advanced/partitions" menu item is gone. "parted" in normal boot said, that I have overlapping partitions on the sdcard, which I doubt, since I did the partitioning with a special partitioning utility. Anyways, going to boot up a Linux VM now, should have done so much earlier ;) It's just always so messed up with getting external volumes on USB to recognized.
[HTC One V] Lloir:
I'll sort this ASAP thank you for bringing it to my attention
[HTC One V] zmix:
Thanks for trying so hard. Greatly appreciated :)

On a side-note... I tried with a VM, but whatever way I tried to connect the SD card to the Linux guest, I did not succeed. So I am here again, no way to create an ext4 filesystem from inside the phone. Currently I play with the thought about installing a minimal, chrooted debia in my phone. But then I still have the problem with parted moaning about "overlapping partitions", which must be invisible to me, since I just checked the partition table with OS X' fdisk and all numbers seem in sequence. Okay, going to the other thread ;)

Also, any chance you can port the add-ons/themes as well?

EDIT: I'm also curious about the ~25mb size difference, and more generally, the big size (~145mb). Any pre-installed apps not mentioned in the original jelly blast thread?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] Styrke:
The big memory is because of the applications and libs added in OTA3 update, That's why.

For updates from the original thread yes you can but if they have framework.jar it needs to be modified because Phone will always crush when calling.

I will try to port the addons if they can be ported cause icons are small and can't be resized or they will be messy.
