[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duraeas:
I've come to notice that Mediaserver occasionally eats a disproportionate chunk of my Nexus 4s battery; it took the cake last night. I left work on a full charge and screwed with my phone through the evening, with MS taking a small ~10% chunk, before leaving it at around ~60-65% for the evening.

When I woke up, my battery was around 37%, with 1h20m worth of screen time. Here is a screenshot from around 35% battery.

I've read everything I can find on Mediaserver (on XDA and elsewhere) and can't really explain why it uses half the battery. I have Play Books, Play Magazines and Play Movies disabled. The only media I have on the device period is some music cached/save to the device from my Google Music account. I wasn't listening to Music at any point last night, and I don't see anything unusual in the running applications.

Any thoughts? This isn't an issue I experienced on my Galaxy Nexus with nearly identical usage patterns.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caddish:
I've had the same problem with my Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. Mediaserver is a service that can be used by pretty much any application but mostly the media related one (picture / video / music).

This mean either you have an app or file that is hanging up.

Try disabling media related app one by one and/or remove media file until the problem goes away.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetluva:
Sometimes its a bad media file somewhere on your device. Bad download, corrupted picture/video, etc. I found that going through a File Manager and deleting items/folders that weren't necessary in the storage area cleared the problem for me. Give that a shot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halo0:
Same problem here and I just noticed it this morning. I'm actually glad that the battery doesn't suck as much as I thought and it's just this stupid media server. Still, a bug that needs to be fixed. Does anyone know if this has been reported to google yet?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibegary:
I had Media Server running more than I thought as well and used:

http://www.gromkov.com/faq/repair/mp3_validator.html

It scans your entire MP3 collection for corruption, mis-matches, etc. and can correct it for you. It also makes a copy of the mp3 as a .bak file so if something did go wrong you can restore the original.

Out of my 1400 mp3's it found about 300 songs that had some kind of problem (stream error, corruption, mismatches, etc.) after it was all said and done there were 3 that were un-repairable.

Since I re-sync'd to Google Music my media server power has went down.

Just a FYI.

Well I scanned every single file on my phone and I only have 2 mp3s. They're both ringtones and both checked out fine. Yet this is what I saw this morning...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyondroid:
I had this problem a year ago. I solved it by deleting a couple bad photos i had taken that showed up as 0 bytes and were blank in the gallery.

From my experience, the media server drain is definitely caused by some corrupt media file(s) on the phone, not just mp3s. Could be photos, music, or videos. This could be jpg, gif, png, bmp, mp4, avi, mkv, mp3, aac, ogg, flac, etc. Pretty much any kind of media file the mediaserver looks for.

If i were you, i'd isolate the problem by moving all your media files temporarily off the phone to a pc, rebooting, then seeing if the media server is still acting up.

If the drain has gone away, slowly re-add your media back to the phone and re-test to isolate which folder or set of files is the problem. If the drain continues, do a manual search using a file manager for any other media files, then remove those too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halo0:
Well I deleted a bunch of files as well as ran the Rescan Media app. Problem seems to be gone for now.

What the hell is Mediaserver? Kill it dead. That's such a rude thing to see. 53% of the battery life? I'd be so upset.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Mediaserver is the actual service that apps such as music players and video players, such as Google Play Music, use to actually play music and videos. So its not mediaserver itself that is the problem but most likely an app that's installed that uses the service.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halo0:
well if it is it's a stock google app. The only music player I have installed is google music which I hardly ever use. No other media players of any kind have been installed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleys121:
It seems to be the consensus in the xda community that it media server issue is related to corrupted media files, be it images or music. However I don't think this is the case.

I have the issue only when playing my sd card music from a music player like power amp. It doesn't happen when not using it. I turned off all scanning within the app and it is still happening. I think this is a 4.2 issue... I deleted all of the files on my SD card then resynced and it's still happening! This was not an issue with the same EXACT content on the galaxy nexus. Can anyone help fix battery drain issue!?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guyladouche:
I noticed that when I connect my smartphone to my TF101 dock with a USB cable (the dock is connected to the tablet), the phone will charge but only when the tablet is awake. If the tablet goes to sleep (either automatically or manually), the connection to the phone will drop and the phone will cease charging.

I feel like prior to the x.x.x.27 update, this wasn't the case (and the phone would continually charge as long as the tablet has booted up, regardless of whether it's sleeping or awake).

Developer USB settings in the menu don't impact this. Does anyone know of a way to maintain connection (or at least maintain charging) even when the tablet is in sleep mode?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheocratIssak:
Hi all -

I have a Cobra iRadar Detector. It connects to the phone via BT and that is how and were you see your speed and other general radar detector stuff.

I also have a Motorola SD10 BT headset. Since I drive all day, I need the headset to call the office and clients but the radar so I don't get pulled over.

How can I connect both simultaneously? I think I'd have to use the BT headset as Call Only and the BT Radar as Media only. And I'll try that today. But will I have to re-connect each time I turn off the engine and the Radar goes out? Or will it just stay connected? Or is there another way to have two devices connected at the same time?

Of course, if there are other questions I need to ask, please feel free to post those as well.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
For speed just download a GPS speedometer they are far more accurate than than anything else.

In fact if you get one that saves the data you can use it as evidence to get out of a speeding ticket.

Unless you make a habit of speeding.... tut tut.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheocratIssak:
I actually use WAZE for GPS, which also has a speedometer and is crowd sourced so that other area drivers can post accidents, traffic jams, police and other useful information. Very handy, and as a person that drives 200+ miles a day in the city, it's useful.

The iRadar detector is just good enough for certain circumstances. I found that by having the BT headset as phone only, the radar detector works the media aspect and thus I'm able to use both - as I'd figured.

When I'm on the BMW motorcycle, speeding isn't an issue, I go so fast you didn't even see me come from behind and pass you.
[General Questions and Answers] xXFlippyXx:
Hi there, first Post in this Forums

I've got an Xperia S running CM10 and everything works fine except for GPS.

CM build FXP147

Things I did:

Wiped cache/dalvik

Fixed permissions.

reinstalled everything (Factory reset in recovery)

Used gpstest, status, helper etc... (a whole bunch of those tools)

and it's still not working.

Things i did before it stopped working:

I was running CM9 (gps working) and updated to 10. I don't exactly know if it was working then (haven't tested it). Next thing i did was installing gapps for JB because of photosphere.

Photosphere didn't work right away, so i did a little research: Problem was that my Xperia isn't listed under supported devices.

So i changed build.prob, got photosphere working and was happy.

I don't exactly know if this is related to my gps problem in any way, just in case:

After taking a picture with photosphere my android media process got active and drained my battery (~70%) in about an hour. So i read a few more topics and resolved that problem with "rescan media root"

3 days ago i checked gps: not working (doh!)

And then again: i did research.

found a bunch of possible solutions (mentoined above) - nothing worked.

So now i'm standing here with GPS not working and no way to get it work. Or even a reason why it isn't working anymore.

need help

Would have posted it in Android development forums, but my penis, ehhh postcounter is to small.

Are you stuck on "no command"? If so, at that prompt, just hit the power button and volume up button simultaneously. It should open the recovery console where you can hit reboot system.

The update sets a boot flag to boot into recovery and then fails. Since it never finishes, that flag is never cleared. Mine cleared by simply doing the above.
