So we still have the media scanner issue after rebooting right? I notice if I disable media scanner, the cpu finally goes to 200 mhz after rebooting the phone. When I reenable it, it stays between 500-1200 mhz for at least 20 minutes or until it finishes.

There has got to be something (maybe media, maybe an app) that causes this. It seems to be a jellybean thing from the searching I've done and it seems like there is no one solution fix all.

I'm seeing the same thing. I'm on the third iteration of wiping the phone, re installing and that damn media scanner issue keeps creeping back in. Sometimes it takes a half day or so to reappear.....but it keeps coming back nonetheless. I also tried the CWM workarounds listed here....No effect. The only thing that works for now is to kill the process.

I remember the guys in CM / AOKP fighting this issue several months ago as well. I'll keep working on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
IMO it has something to do with some media which may or may not be corrupted.

DO you have an external SDcard?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
It might also be CWM backups as I know those always caused MediaScanner issues for me. If you do have a backup maybe try putting a .nomedia file in the root of the backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tweak4fun:
Yes, I do. I'll take it out and see if it makes a difference.

As far as corrupted media.....maybe...... I'm certian that CM10 / AOKP solved this a while back though. I'm trying to find it.

lol I stopped asking those questions a long time ago... When androids will take over the world may be they will explain a thing or two to us.

Before I flashed your JB upgrade on my S2, I was seriously shopping around for a new mobile. The GPS function is as important to me as the phone calls, and half way to the ICS updates this function was virtually gone for me. I thought it was a hardware problem since I tried almost everything.

Now the phone locks 5 satellites in like 6-7 seconds and by 14 seconds it locks around 8!! A month ago to lock 3 satellites after 10 minutes was a miracle, and by that time 20% of the battery was gone...

May be it has to do with the latitude I live and some supernova that happened 100 million years ago I really dont care at this point. So I will accept the fact that it works now for whatever reason and you made it possible!

For the people having drain, was it after doing a backup with 1.0b? I'm suspicious the 6.0.1.9 CWM is still using .dup format for backups.

It may not matter though, I've found why 6.0.2.3 was skipping preload. It had to do with a PhilZ patch that only affected non-touch versions. This version also uses .tar format for backups. I messaged him already, but 1.0c should be here shortly.

The drain issue...I think its gotta be the Rescan media app, it hasn't been updated since January 2011!...and doesnt JB have a different path for the ext SD? The person here pulled their sd and the problem faded.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattgyver:
Has anyone had their internal sd card go read-only? I went to backup in TiBu, and it said not enough free space. I have 4 gigs free, so I checked tibu's backup location. It said /storage/sdcard0 was not a writable location. I opened root explorer and it showed sdcard0 as mounted read-only.. It happened in 1.4 once, and now it's happening in 1.5. Weird.

Jeboo maybe you can shed some light on this. This is really trivial but it drives me nuts.

I noticed since ICS kernels came out that the back light on our buttons is super dim. They go back to their original brightness for a few seconds during the sgs2 splash screen but then revert to being dim. The voltage control in extweaks seems to have no effect. Seeems the JB kernels are doing the same.

LE5 stock kernel does not do this nor does the Siyah or Entropy based GB kernels.

Any thoughts?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bellino13:
I was getting about 20 minutes of wake time due to the media scanner service on each reboot. I found that I had about 2GB of unused backup data in clockworkmod/blobs ostensibly from deleting my old backups using esfile explorer instead of in recovery. I freed unused backup data and upon boot only had 7 seconds of wake time from media scanner service.

Jeboo, I had this problem on 1.0b as well... I think it was a PEBKAC error and not kernel related, at least in my case.

EDIT: after 21 minutes of uptime I've got 6 minutes of wake time from media scanner.

While in CWM, which is the internal sdcard? Emmc or sdcard? I do not want to mess up and erase my external with all my porns, I mean roms. I know on Cyan10 with Siyah emmc was the internal card but while on Sammy roms one time my external got formatted when I selected emmc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bellino13:
If I'm not mistaken, "sdcard"is the external sdcard since the internal sdcard is referred to explicitly as "internal sdcard", at least in the portions of cwm that I'm familiar with (mainly backup and restore).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KCH2005:

That could be... many threads I read on this subject that some causes are apps.

So there could be many things corrupted on the sdcard.... mp3's thumbnails images backups etc. So save all your stuff... format your external sdcard and put it back in.... all ok... no add one folder at a time from your back up and reboot.... see which folder adding causes the media scanner to go. Then you can look from there in that folder.

Those with media scan issues

There is an old trick to stop media scanner from scanning specific folders. I've included a file named ".nomedia" in the zip attachment. It is a plain old zip (not CWM flashable). Extract the file and put in every folder on both your sdcard and ext-sdcard you don't want media scanned. Any folder (along with it's sub-folders) that has this file in it, will not scan. You can also use it to troubleshoot a potential corrupt folders or to hide media you don't want in your gallery, music, etc.

I've been using this method for years... my scanner works great and only scans very briefly. Hope it helps... good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
No you cannot...

yea... I've used it as well but its still good to get rid of corrupt data after its found.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
When I've gotten it... I go into application manager and force close the flashbar app and then clear data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Peaster111:
Absolutely... I find using the file makes it easy to narrow down the culprit. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tweak4fun:
Yeah, I already use that trick as well. If I understand the issue correctly, media scanner isn't ignoring the folders with .nomedia in them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Hmm. After updating to 1.5, I can't toggle wifi anymore. I reinstall 1.4 and it is fine. I even did a full wipe and installed 1.5 with the issue still persisting. Wifi simply won't turn on through any of the methods that I tried, notification toggle, settings, etc.

I reverted back to 1.4 since I couldn't nail down what the issue was. The straight talk apn works great on 1.5 though, thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tweak4fun:
After playing around with this for hours, it seems that I can REDUCE the effects of the issue by deleting the unnecessary folders that have many smaller files in them. Although when I removed the SD card it APPEARED to be better, I believe this was due to the "LOST.DIR" folder having hundreds of files in it. I blew them away along with a few other (hopefully) unnecessary files.

End result, after every reboot, media scanner still chuggs through everything, but it only takes 5-10 minutes now vice the hours that it took earlier. My phone would actually get hot just sitting on the table.

For a leak this rom and the previous initial versions are very stable, the only issue I was having before was the lock screen freeze and even then that was minor as it worked after a few seconds which is fixed now. I wouldn't be worried, heck I've been daily driving it. Used other Roms that have been around awhile with issues from freezing, rebooting, glitches etc... ShoStock 2 and 3 are the first ones I've used with really no problems.

This rom is unbelievably smooth and sharp. Makes the GSII feel like a brand new phone, I have no qualms waiting now to see what get's released next year (GS4 etc).

While trying to pin down the media scanner issues I was having on 1.3 I noticed that it would take 20 seconds or so just to read and display the contents of the external SD or change directories within it using ES Explorer. I formatted the external SD and all has been good since. I only put a few files back on so I don't know if it was corrupt files or the filesystem itself. It's a 4 Gig card that had the original FAT filesystem on it and I formatted it on the phone with the storage settings.

Count me in this someone who does not like the center clock either. I just flashed back to version 1.5 and added the new kernel.

As for my screen rotation, I figured out the problem. Long story short, I used Titanium Backup to install all my applications and data and the problem did not show up until I ran the program smart App Protector.
