what do those do? will deleting them cause some other app or process or whatever to maybe not run properly?

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

So I just realized that I have a huge instant upload folder with 500 files that will not play or show. I think I can see them if I view from my computer but having them all merged in Google+ I have no idea what album any of the pictures are from. I did notice a couple videos and pics on the Google+ website that seem to be corrupted as well but they were fine before because I don't remember them being like that and I don't think they would have uploaded if they were bad anyway. So I'm thinking having an issue with the gallery could definitely affect the mediaserver.

Only problem is these files aren't on the card or internal memory at all, they've long been uploaded and deleted from my phone, so formatting the sd card would have no affect on that. There is also no option to delete these folders. Maybe if I can find where these files are I can delete them with Astro?

EDIT: Ok, so I cleared the app data for the gallery and rebooted. Bad folder seems to be fine now, and after taking some time to load, I can see a whole new album I hadn't seen on there in a while. Now I can see how if this affects the mediaserver drain at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
I dont know if this is a good sign but today media is no where to be found in my battery stats. This is after doing factory reset while on stock rooted rom and flashed cwm and custom rom yesterday. Restored my stuff from Titanium but only restored app +data on the ones that I need the data restored. Otherwise I just restored app only. Didnt disable the media scanner stuff.

Battery is a litttle better but no where near when I had ICS But then I've been on the phone a lot surfing and texting and whatsapp-ing. So maybe tomorrow I will use it less as I did when it was on ICS so I can get a better comparison.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
Here it showed up several hours later and is no longer on top.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
This is interesting read regarding the battery drain and do notice that when I wake up in the morning the battery is down by atleast 10%.

http://www.autoomobile.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s3-jelly-bean-update-battery/10010513/

I really dont want to turn off my location services but I think I'm going to try to install the older Google Now flashable M7 version and see if that helps the idle discharge.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

Well today major drain again. I lost 30% in 1 hour and 19 minutes. I just did some light surfing and phone was getting hot. Tried flashing an older Google Now but didnt make a difference. I've given up and going back to ICS. It's wasting too much of my time trying to figure this out when I can put those time to use on something else.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] durps:
No drawbacks at all. Only difference is no more media server drain haha.

Samething with deleting those 2 files, it tamed my very high android system usage. Now its just high, not very high lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
Thanks for the reply. I was reading some of the reviews on that app and some mention pictures not showing up in gallery or camera not working right. I was just concerned about that. But I'm back on ICS but will try this later down the road though. Thank you again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
Alright going to try this 1 more time but with this fix.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbGgoiqhvfE&noredirect=1

1. Basically you use Titanium backup or Rom toolbox and uninstall the following:

media storage

downloads 4.1.1 (I had 2 of them too)

2. Go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik

3. Flash your rom again (and kernel after if you use custom one)

4. Clear cache and dalvik again

5. Fix permission

6. Reboot and wait a few hours or a day to see if it fixes your battery issue.

Guy on youtube just made a video of galchristians fix below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1976666

I really hope this works this time around.

I've done some googling and this issue seems to be common on all s3 variants whether it be international or U.S. galaxy S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MikeWjF:
I know this is an old thread, but those steps can't be in the right order. If you use TB to uninstall those 2 apps, then reflash your ROM they'll be reinstalled on the fresh install.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Haha, I read the quote and wanted to the same thing. That's not gonna do anything besides possibly fix the issue cause of a bad install.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
Hey guys I posted that. If you watch the video that's exactly what he did and I was just reiterating the steps. I'm sure he had a reason to do it that way so I never questioned it. Maybe it's to refresh those files back. That I don't know but I was willing to try his method.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MikeWjF:
Since my last post I've actually been able to tame Media Server battery drain by Greeniflying "Media Storage" with Greenify Pro that has the Xposed Framework options.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
My fix was as simple as a reboot sometimes. Sometimes I'd use kms.apk to kill mediaserver and then reboot. Other times you need to rescan your SD card. (rare) and worst case scenario a clean install of a different ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] dan@msx:
Ive just taken a 2nd contract out and awaiting delivery of my LTE S3 on EE.

Just wondering what is available for the i9305 in terms of firmwares for the uk region? Cant seem to see any generic stuff on here.
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:
Look in the i9305 forum
[Galaxy S III General] dan@msx:
I checked the q&a and development sections but nothing there of relevence. Hence my post.....
[Galaxy S III General] Obagleyfreer:
Then there's nothing you want. Everything related to the i9305 are in those forums. There's really not a lot going on for the i9305 at the moment.
[Galaxy S III General] dan@msx:
ok cheers, soon as it comes, i'l be ripping the firmware to bits and having a look along side the i9300 and see what can be ported.
[HTC Droid DNA] syler2012:
Will a full root come to the dna with S-off etc ? I am thinking. With it's HUGE screen and TINY battery that it was a bad decision.I just got it today.. Is the battery all that bad ? (partial power user) I can take it back within 14 days :) Let me know what you think :)
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
I personally havent had any issues with the battery, It lasts me an entire day of playing music/pandora/games.
[HTC Droid DNA] syler2012:
Right right :) good to hear :) now what about rooting i heard thats no longer a option SAY IT ISNT TRUE :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
You can root it today. And battery life is great, don't expect it to be better than the razr maxx though.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shredenbacher:
I dunno man, I just unlocked the bootloader and rooted all last night. AND, I work in a concrete box, with almost no signal. I still get through the day with moderate use at work with battery to spare. :highfive:

So what method do I use htc no longer has it on its page .......
[HTC Droid DNA] syler2012:
lol @me

Guess I read the wrong articles so it does still work IM ON THISSSS
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
It doesn't work directly anymore, you have to use Jcase's exploit to make the HTC website think that the DNA is another phone. Then after you unlock the bootloader you can flash a recovery and SuperSU or Superuser.

You just can't obtain S-OFF yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] syler2012:
:)

This is pretty hard I rooted my Thunderbolt and it was a breeze I don't get how to do this LOL
[HTC Droid DNA] broons:
The exploit is fairly complicated. Myself, I'm holding out hoping that maybe it can become slightly less complicated. Imo, the phone is awesome even on stock and until there's more development I don't see a need for my usage. The battery is pretty awesome btw. I get 4.75 screen on time. Trying to tweak it to make it to 5 hours.
[HTC Droid DNA] rajuabju:
What are you guys talking about? Its just typing (and in fact, really just copy/paste) in a bunch of commands into a CMD prompt. Easy breezy, takes 10 minutes or so if you know how to follow instructions.

jcase has already said that he has no plans to create a "1-click" method...

IMO, if you are not comfortable following directions, dont know what ADB is, etc, perhaps you should not really be rooting your phone?

And the battery is just fine. I'm having no issues getting through the day with a single charge. The only way I could see the battery become a concern is if someone is streaming Netflix for 2-3 hrs a day. Then you probably wont get through a full day on 1 charge.
[HTC Droid DNA] xShin:
I think the main concern is the risk of bricking if instructions are not followed properly. That + other roots have been fairly straightforward so we're spoiled :) I personally haven't rooted mine yet either, though I do plan on doing so soon.

To the OP: the battery life has surpassed my expectations, and I'm easily lasting an entire day with my DNA. I use my phone all day for texts, web browsing, and phone calls, with around an hour of my commute being underground with no signal. Even with all this, I never need to charge it before bedtime. So yeah, I'd say this phone is definitely worth getting, and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the battery's performance.
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
Agreed on both points; I've been very happy with the battery and I, too, will eventually make time to root this baby - probably step-by-step with the Youtube video.
[HTC Droid DNA] xShin:
That's exactly what I'm planning to do too lol. We should set up some sort of community root day, where we're all on some sort of chat and watching the video at the same time :)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyFox:
I'm rooted and still use foxfi.apk 1.91 I haven't updated this and it still works great. I've used root explorer to try to locate the original download the. Apk I cannot find the path that it downloaded to. I want to put this version on my wife's razor m. Does anyone know where to find the downloads from the play store?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoClifGo05:
Check on the root of your internal storage in Data/app
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyFox:
Thank you. That was exactly where it was.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoClifGo05:
Glad you found it. :)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweek900:
ok so i see you listed the version number, I'm guessing that means you didn't do the newest update =/ I use my phone as my internet connection and updated foxfi because it gave me an error saying i had to update it to use it.

Now i'm stuck with a 2.51Mb limit before i have to restart foxfi, Any work arounds for this? Im not trying to spend $7 for an app thats been free this long. It strikes me as someone getting greedy, And $7 is pretty steep when i can root the phone and tether for free. Just not trying to root my S3 atm.

Thanks, and sorry i'm not trying to hijack your post just a honest question :)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyFox:
Its cool. Lol. I wouldn't update because of the limit and felt the same way about the app being free then 7 bucks.I don't mind supporting the devs for their hard work and have many bought paid apps that I have purchased. But this just didn't seem right. But as of yesterday the old version quit working had a pop-up saying it wasn't supported and wouldn't connect. So I guess it got blocked to force you to buy if you want the program.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweek900:
darn, im wondering if theres a way around it or another app. Because like you i dont mind supporting dev's and i have also bought many apps, but this isn't right its been free for this long this is someone who is just getting greedy and trying to force people into paying them money. The app had over 1million downloads, If that many people use it and he now forces them to pay 7 thats 7 million dollars. I dont blame him i wouldn't mind having 7 million but still i'm not putting in on him being greedy.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoClifGo05:
Lol you guys are spoiled. The developer has a right to ask for money for his app... People have been using something he has done on his free time for free for a long time... Who knows what is going on in his life but maybe it's reached a point where the money is needed. For what it offers, it is easily worth 7 dollars one time. The only reason i have not bought it yet is because people are reporting it doesnt work on 4.1 anyway, so we'll see.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyFox:
I can't argue with everything you've said even to the being spoiled lol. I have also read where it won't support the latest update too. So maybe when it works on that his fee will sound more reasonable. Looking forward to jellybean on my RAZR Max HD
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweek900:
Well i'll straight up say i'm far from spoiled, I've spent money on apps that i didn't have to just to support the devs. But when you go from "i'm doing this for the people and its free i just made it to help out" to "i'm charging 7 dollars when i've changed nothing" that just a bit greedy to me, I work hard for my money and i'm not about to just throw it at someone because they got greedy. I've done my homework downloaded a widget called hotspot toggle and i tether threw my phone's built in hotspot for free. Easy to use, turns on faster, and i haven't seen any issues with it yet. So i guess good try to the foxfi guy. Hope you guys find the hotspot toggle widget useful :)

[Galaxy S III General] nex86:
I know there are quite a few methods to do this, some of them work well some of them don't.

I have the problem that my phone is full of games and I just have a little bit of internal space left (under 1GB) BUT a 64GB microSD with MUCH space left.

So I wanted to ask if it's possible to safely "remount" specific folders like /sdcard/Android/data and /sdcard/Android/OBB to /mnt/extsdcard.

I know there is an app to do this but it doesn't seem to work for all games.

also, I know about this script: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1772234

this actually worked well but is there a easier method to apply a patch like this?

like a gui app or something where I can switch what memory should be used for /sdcard ?

thanks in advance.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] troycarpenter:
How well does Navigon integrate with the rest of the Android ecosystem? For instance, I tried iGo in the past because I've used it on my standalone GPSs. However, I couldn't use it at all on Android because it was TOO standalone. I couldn't easily get addresses to flow into it, and the interface was too much like the standalone GPS and didn't use the familiar Android type menus at all. It didn't want to share with any other apps on the phone.

I would love to give Navigon a try, but the price is a bit steep. I've also seen a lot of talk about in-app purchases that get it more to the standalone GPS quaility (overviews, 3D maps, etc).

Finally, I've seen complaints in the app review that maps are out of date (Lots of one star ratings because of no Puerto Rico, but not a problem for me). Can anyone comment on map accuracy?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
Try SyGic
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] king200:
I've tried apps mentioned here plus Copilot and Tomtom.

Sygic has best looking views, best voice and poi are not outdated. You can select to have smaller map sets to keep disk usage down. Editing startup file permits extSdCard or sdcard for map storage. There is pc program to download and store maps to transfer to device.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ParryB:
The google maps don't need data when on the move. you just need data/wifi to set the locations i.e. start point and end point... and then gps does the work.

I use sygic. It is awesome
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radmacks:
Last time I tried Navigon it needed data so i got rid of it. I have tried them all and IGO wins in the end for me. I'll have to try navigon again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smrsxn:
Try navfree. You can download state maps and do offline route calculation.

No need for wifi or data signal.

Its free. So try it.

It has not let me down so far.. and i use it a lot.

it's the Xiaomi Mi2. I would have gotten one of those if I hadn't fallen in love with the huge screen on the note 2.

Mi2 has S4 pro chip & 2GB RAM- it definitely is more powerful than the note 2. note2's awesome screen still makes it a more enjoyable experience IMO though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] theoilman:
everything else sucks? the only thing on it that sucks is no expandable storage (and screen size, but that's 100% personal preference). lack of SD card is the only thing that sucks about the Mi2- otherwise it's an amazing phone.

MIUI is great- better than touchwiz for sure. better than iOS too. I'd very happily use MIUI on my note 2 if they could work multi-screen support into it. battery is replaceable and they sell a 3100mAh version for it. camera I have not tried so I can't say.

It isnt better than touchwiz on this phone...I dont think miui has spen support, multiview or anything like that

shouldn't be hard to bake those features into MIUI at all. and there's nothing besides that that makes touchwiz better IMO.
