Same thing here.

I read somewhere maybe a corrupted file(s) may be the culprit so,i formated my internal sd after a factory reset today,and still doing the battery draining.

After a fresh bootup, android.process.media is running for a good 30 min. non-stop.

The only workaround i found in another topic is installing startup manager and block the media process,but you need root acces.....

Very annoying...... i don't have that bug with ICS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] msk:
you can disable the media scanning with this app from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot&hl=en
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheQat:
There's a few open bugs in Google Code tracker for this. This one seems to be the most "commented/stared". https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37199

I upgraded my GS3 to the JB release the day after it came out. Had no problem until I put in my SD again (today) that had thousands of pictures and music files. Noticing the massive drain real fast.

Pulled the SD again, and problem goes away. I haven't tried an SD wipe yet, but looking at the bug reports that's not expected to help with 4.1. The corrupt media file is supposed to have been a 4.0 related bug...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] statickiwi:
I wiped my 16gb sdcard because I assume there was something corrupt or the phone continuously scanned for something on the external sdcard. Now I have nothing on the sdcard except for a cwm backup and haven't noticed the process running. I'll slowly add some files back when I need it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trendiggity:
I've noticed the drain too. All I do is force stop the process from my battery info screen.

It won't come back unless I reboot/reinsert the card.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ndy4eva:
I think it takes long time to scan the internal and microSD, if you have a CWM backup(s). I removed my backups off the microSD card and it seems to be fine now. Also, once it get indexed properly, I don't think it scans every time it restarts.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Russ77:
it's the CWM backups. change your backup type from .dup to .tar in CWM. reboot the phone. restore each nandroid that was created as .dup and back it up under the .tar setting. boot into CWM and delete the .dup backups and clear unused backup data.

the backups will use a bit more space but you will remove the blobs folder and it's thousands of files. these files are what is causing the media scanner to consume the battery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] msd24200:
I to now have this problem and without rebooting the media scan still starts back up after stopping it! I'm on bone stock jellybean.

Cleaning up some images and cleared media and gallery data, fixed the issue for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobreaka:
do i need to boot up to the restored nandroid then reboot back into recovery to create a tar backup?

After a restore of the nandroid, can i just stay in recovery and run the backup as tar?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] speghead:
I was just force stopping the media service until I got that media scanner ROOT app. Works pretty good now my media battery and CPU usage are at a minimum.

Hi, probably not the right forum, please move appropriately if needed.

Starting a couple days ago, I used my home computer at home in the night time to visit the xda forum. The forum hung at "waiting for ib.adnxs.com" forever. I used my phone app and it ran ok. At work day time I am ok too. Wondering if it's a server issue or something to do with my home computer? Anybody experiencing the same thing?

I installed CM10 on my AT&T HTC One X and can't type anything as the keyboard keeps crashing. I've searched all over the net for a keyboard to install but everything like Swype requires you install it from the phone directly which I can't type on. Does anyone know of a solution to this crashing issue or somewhere that I can get an alternate KB?

Here's the issue, the keyboard keeps crashing and the home button doesn't work either.. the phone just vibrates when I press it. I installed the CM10 nightly build plus the gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip GAPPS. I've been searching all over and search keeps breaking on xda so I can't find much on here right now.

-Keith
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Try rolling back to the most recent stable version.

The new JB keyboard crashes on me whenever I try to save anything, but I'm running it on a Sense rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kelkin:
I tried the last stable version too with the same results. Not sure why it keeps crashing on me :/

-Keith
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
So you can't even interact with the "Select input method" dialogue in the notification pane? Because you should be able to remotely install a new keyboard through Play. Then once it's there, you can switch in the notification pane.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phattychops:
I'm having the same issue. Tried installing CM10 coming from CleanRom. Did a wipe before install.

Not only keyboard for me, home button doesn't work correctly and I cannot launch the browser.

Went back into recovery, flashed CM10 again, preformed not only a factory reset but also did a "system" wipe.

rebooted and things were fine.

rebooted back into recover and installed gapps, things are hosed again.

reproduced on gapps 4.2 and gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kelkin:
Same here.. Browser won't open, home and recent apps key don't work also... glad it isn't just me.. So you're fine if you don't install gapps?

I can't even log into my google account, I can't get a keyboard to appear to type with.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phattychops:
OK,

Factory Reset and wipe "System"

Install CM10

Use gapps from 1011 - gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

Things are working.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kokocheng:
I can't seem to find Wipe "System" in the Factory Reset. The only options I am given to wipe are the data and cache which I have tried doing and afterwards reinstalling CM10 and GAPPS-jb-20121011-signed.zip yet the "Unfortunately Android's Keyboard (ASOP) has stopped working" still pops up
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alphacall2:
I know you have tried one of these but ill quote what Inflatedtitan gave to me when i had the same problem.

"Sounds like there could be a few problems so were gonna go with the most popular ones lol..

1. Sounds like you didn't wipe everything in twrp before you flashed. Make your you always wipe cache, dalvick, factory reset, and system. Then flash Rom followed by gapps.. then reboot

2. Have you restored from a titanium backup? If so, make sure next time its ONLY user apps.. if you restore system apps and data, think of your system settings from one Rom clashing with the system files from your new Rom. They won't play nice together. Only backup and restore user apps+data

3. If the above steps were taken correctly, I would delete the Rom.zip from phone. Maybe download using a different browser. Chrome browser is notorious for corrupting roms.. you could have had a bad download

With these steps I got my ROM working so maybe it could help you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] majortaylor:
The issue y'all are having is coming from the newest gapps. Install a older gapps and you will be up and running. I had the same issue on my tab 7.0 and hox and reinstalling new gapps worked

Hi folks

Ive been getting quite a lot of "not connected" type errors from many apps on the nexus 4, which I always get past just by hitting retry. This even happens on connections I known to be solid such as my home WiFi.

Anyone else experienced the same?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flintdragon:
I got one of those errors while using the Groupon app. The app was running just fine as I signed in and pull up my voucher lists. But when I opened one of the vouchers, most of the text loaded but got the error message. A picture didn't load so I assume it was trying to load that.

The app obviously was able to use the data connection fine until then. Later on, the app was loading everything correctly so I don't know if it is a problem with the OS or with the app. I've seen this behavior before on different phones though with different apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konquer247:
Greetings to all,

I have a Galaxy S GT-I9000 which I bought last year.

I had no problem flashing any firmware with odin and every flash I made was successful.

I never had an external_sd card ever since I bought the phone.

Now my problem started when a couple of months ago I flashed ICS 4.03 from CWM from

an external_sd card.

As strange as it may sound, all apps and media files where installed on the external_sd

card. I found out about this after the phone booted up successfully and by checking the contents

of both the internal_sd & the external_sd cards. I wasnt bothered by this as long as the phone

boots up normaly and storages mount.

Now I wanted to flash XXJW4, I did everything by the book. (i.e factory reset, clear cache, clear delvik)

and flashed successfully.

The phone entered into an endless bootloop.

Taking out external_sd card and booting to recovery 3e results in /sdcard & /data mounting problems

Inserting external_sd card and booting to recovery 3e produces no mounting problems. in fact I can

clear cache and factory reset.

So my guess is that: the phone identifies the external_sd card as internal_sd and mounts it to search

for booting parameters but fails to find it, because the card is formatted and has no os.

Creating three partitions for fat32, ext2 or ext3 or ext4 and a linux-swap and flashing any firmware results

in the phone booting up normally with out any problems.

My question is: how is it possible to change where the phone looks up for boot sectors (If I may use windows terms :) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konquer247:
According to this wonderful post h t t p : / / python . ca / nas / log /201204 /by Neil Schemenauer's Web Log

the phone internally has two built in flash memory devices:

- NAND device (8 or 16GB)

- Flash memory for (BML or MTD schemes) used by the ROM

Now the problem might have been created by the ROM's flash memory, it ignore the NAND device

and tries to boot up from the extended memory (external sd) which results in a boot loop if it doesnt

find the OS that's looking for (in our case Android).

ANY ONE PLEASE give me any idea or hypothesis if you like, as to how to go around this problem.

A complete boot up process for the device would be very help full. I understand most Galaxy I9000 phones

are having these problems.... Lets SOLVE THIS

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xelaris:
I might have a similar issue....some application settings/data etc are being installed on the external card and the "external SD" folder leads to nothing (no files there - while using the emmc folder in the root directory does access the external card. So, it appears the system is messed up (but still working).

Unfortunately, I can't help you solving your problems but I found out that flashing some old stock rom (GingerBread 2.3.6 JW4 or JW7) brings things back to normal - at this stage I'm experimenting with new custom roms and as long as my external card is accessible I'm not bothered if the messed up folders....still, a neat solution would be very much appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konquer247:
Thank you xelaris for your post,....

In my previous post I had mentioned flashing JW4 and that didn't work.

Installing the ROM on the external_sd card with at least two partitions one ext2 or ext3 or ext4 (for data) and vfat or fat32(for usb storage)

most certainly work. But performance will be reduced dramatically as the external sd requires more time for read/write operations.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guygamps:
Hello,

I am thinking of buying one a high capacity battery, item number 251122991520 on a well known auction site

Question is about NFC. The factory provided battery has Near Field Communication written actually on the battery, is it the battery pack that houses the NFC hardware? I have absolutely no use or interest in NFC, I don't think I will ever use it, so the question is "for information only". If the battery pack is providing the NFC hardware, will I do any damage by running a 3rd party higher capacity battery without NFC?

Thanks

Guy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neera:
Yes, it is the stock/extended Samsung battery that provides you with NFC.

Feel free to use third party battery without NFC. It won't cause any harm.

You just won't be able to use NFC features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guygamps:
thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
The nfc hardware itself is on the phone. The battery, if so equipped, is only home to the antenna.

One caveat for the OP- there's more often than not a reason why eBay batteries are inexpensive. That reason is related to quality and subpar performance.

Which version of teh Gnex do you have? Sprint is still offering the stock extended 2100mAh battery and cover for free. I got my Gnex free over Black Friday from Best Buy...(did not know about the promotion). I simply called and said that I was getting poor battery life, and quite honestly the battery promo was due to this well known issue. I didn't complain, just said I was satisfied with the phone except for that. The rep put me on hold, came back and said that they wanted to make their customers happy and that I could have one free and just pay $13.00 shipping. So...if you are with sprint..give that a go. I had mine in 2 days.
