Hoping someone here can help me with an issue I keep having with my phone and no matter what I try, I cannot seem to solve this issue.

Last night, about 1am I went to bed, Phone was at 100% charge. This morning when I woke up, the phone was down to 58%. According to the power in settings, this is what has used the battery overnight.

Mediaserver 84%

Wifi 5%

Cell Standby 3%

Phone Idle 2%

Android OS 2%

Android System 2%

Screen 1%

Onavo Count 1%

I havent got an SD card in the phone and havent for over a week because I thought that might be the problem as others have said on here and I have next to no apps installed also so I cant figure out what is doing this

Im on android 4.1.2 and phone is not rooted. No further updates are available for me yet either over the air or connected to the PC via Sony companion software.

Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this?:confused:

Even though it's only been a day I'm getting the same problems with my ZR too
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianity77:
Ive not left my earphones in no and yesterday as a last resort I did a factory reset on the phone and Ive put no songs or hardly any apps on the phone and its still doing the same thing. Again, media server over night was responsible for over 50% of battery drain, this is 12 hours after a factory reset.

I give up with this phone now, it seems to spend more time plugged in on charge than being used
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guokeong:

do you have lots of images on the phone? i used to have a similar problem with my s3. after i start up my phone i will let it sit for a while before i clear all my running applications. sometimes i do it before i hit the bed too. seems to help. not sure about XZ since i have not encountered such problem yet.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianity77:
Its a completely clean factory reset from yesterday, so there are no images at all taken with the camera or stored, and no music/mp3s stored on the phone and no SD card attached either
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guokeong:
just to double check, you are already on 4.2.2 right? I remember quite a number of people on 4.1.2 experience this problem (including me). most reported the problem was gone after updating to 4.2.2. i didnt get to try it myself as I sold my s3 even before 4.2.2 is officially out
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianity77:
No im still on 4.1.2. Thats the latest version available to me over the air or via PC companion (am in the UK) and am not sure I trust myself or if its easy to upgrade to the latest version any other ways
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymister:
It's quite easy to fix though.

Just go to sound settings, and school down to the bottom. Disable all the checkboxes that are enabled.

That should get rid of that media thing in your battery stats
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Wait for the second charge and check the mediaserver again.

If you upload and download videos or photos in whatsapp can cause this.

Download wakelock detector from playstore and post some screenshots.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianity77:
Thanks for this, ill try it out now.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianity77:
Well, it was almost back at 100% charge anyway so i installed wakelock detector, and did a reset. Once switched on, i let it time out and left it for two hours.

Just had a look now in the wakelock app and I have something which says:

AudioOut_3 - 2 hours 8 minutes x1 - thats pretty much the entire time my phone has been asleep. So i assume something is stopping my phone from properly sleeping. Plus in those two hours, my phone dropped from 100% down to 88% (Mediaserver responsible for 91% of the drain)

I have all phone sounds and vibrations off for keypresses and notifications etc.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
All you can do is repairing your phone with sus or flash your phone with another firmware and try again.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianity77:
Well, i upgraded to 4.2.2 yesterday, completely fresh install and charged my phone back to 100% again. Overnight, over 8 hours, phone again drops over 30% of the total battery, again, in the battery stats, nearly all due to media server. I got no idea what to do now :confused:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Could be game.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianity77:
Ive not got any games installed on the phone at the minute and on the actual homescreen all i have is the google search bar and the weather app. Nothing else on there apart from the settings shortcut. Ive tried to be minimal in everything to try and track down what the issue is.

There is no music on the phone, no SD card installed and the phone is totally silent, no sounds, vibrations, nothing.

The culprit it seems again though, according to the wakelock app, is something called Audioout_3. Which has kept my phone awake for pretty much the entire night. but ive no idea what this is relating to
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Maybe a faulty phone,send it back if you still have guaranty.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianity77:
Yeah I have, im just going to go with a Note 2, had nothing but hassle from this phone since day 1
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayyan777:
I'm having the same issue, like most threads I've searched for; I tried checking for any corrupt mp3s, pictures etc. I did multiple factory resets, Flashed CM10, Flashed Carbon ROM, even Stock ROM was useless. It's really beginning to frustrate me, doesn't anyone have a fix to this? Mediaserver battery drain threads have been going on since June 2012 or even before that!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudork:
This must be so frustrating! It seems to me that there must be a problem with the phone. If the phone was so cleaned out of anything and still had this issue, but not everybody here has it, it seems logical that it's a faulty phone.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radlink14:
My phone has the same behavior. I unchecked the xloud enhancer to see if it's that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayyan777:
I'm running a Custom ROM (Carbon JB-4.2.2) so I don't even have the xLoud option.

It's not the phone itself, it's a software issue. Majority of the issues I've read about are in the Nexus 4, Samsung S3, HTC One etc.

What would happen if I completely delete Mediaserver from my phone? Is it a required system app? Surely I can scan my media using a third party app.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianity77:
Well I tried a few more things on mine before I gave up yesterday with it. The Z is now sold on and I got a Note 2 yesterday. From a full charge 19 hours ago i still have 46% left. Bliss, goodbye Z, I wont miss you :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperHanss:
You sold it? I take it you mentioned the problem to the buyer :laugh:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianity77:
Of course :angel:

No but I did include the receipt as it was bought sim free so if anything is a miss hes got that to fall back on
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vernacular:
Samsung Keyboard w/ Handwriting Recognition and S Note are the three things I use most on stock Android 4.1.1 using a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100.

When I flash a custom rom (4.2.2 Slim Bean build 7) of course all that vanishes and Titanium Backup refuses to bring them back, it just displays the restoring dialogue indefinitely. I've tried bringing it back by other means starting with the Samsung Keyboard. I managed to get the keyboard back (by manually copying files and setting permissions), but on Slim Bean the keys are all tiny and shoved to the left (imagine that's the DPI settings or something). Regardless, handwriting did nothing so I consider it a failed attempt. Since handwriting did not work I did not try to get S Note (also failed to restore with Titanium Backup) working as that's what I want to use handwriting recognition with.

TL;DR - Can't get Samsung Keyboard and Handwriting Recognition back on custom rom.

Does something else have a better chance at restoring these features? What else needs to be restored for these features to work?

I'm now back on stock 4.1.1 rom and rooted with twrp custom recovery using the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ToolKit. I'm willing to flash Slim Bean or an alternative to give it another go, but I WANT those Samsung features. Can it be done?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelieisajoke:
Samsung Apps rely on the TouchWiz-framework.

It is only included in Samsungs Roms and if you are a AOSP-custom rom user, you probably don't want that proprietary bloat anyway.

I searched for replacement apps and found the LG keyboard.

I have not found any kewl SNote replacement yet. :/

Hello,

I have strange issue with my Xperia Z. I used to use many android based phones, so i believe Z's behaviour is incorrect. How it works - i.e. I have my Z laying on the table, when I launch some app supporting screen rotation i.e. browser, mail etc., it automatically rotates to landscape mode. When it's in landscape mode and I am lifting it up (keeping the device in portrait position) it doesn't switch into portrait mode at all or it's very very delayed. I haven't found any calibration settings in the software, so have no idea what I can do in order to let the screen rotate smoothly after physical position change.

Quick update - both orientation sensor in portrait mode and gyroscope are giving wired results. Can it be calibrated somehow?

Any advice appreciated!

Best regards,

MCC
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* there is calibrations.

This is only available in 4.2.2
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcc666:
I have 4.1.2 and the menu is there - i could calibrate gyroscope, but accelerometer calibration was unsuccessful - Error Code 1.

Anyhow after calibration of gyroscope result is the same - horizontal orientation sensor is shifted to the right ;( PLS see attached screenshot.

Best regards,

MCC
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:

You try another firmware maybe it's a software problem and maybe if you can update to 4.2.2

Hi XDA members,

I just got my new S4 and was playing around with it until i wanted to move my files from my old phone (S2) to the S4.....

I bought the 16gb version but when I plug it in it only shows 9,22 GB how come?

I know there is space needed for the rom and such but i dont think the rom needs 7gb of space?

is there a way to get my beloved GB's?

Thanks for any response
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
The internal memory is never a true 16Gb to begin with. It's closer to 13 or 14. I forget the reasons why, it's something to do with manufactures misrepresenting t hings slightly. For example a 1tb hdd has only about 958gb available.

Secondly, the s4 rom is indeed massive. It's up around five to six times the size of vanilla android thanks to all the features Samsung added to it.

There are ways to mitigate the problem, the newer firmware has the ability to move apps to the external sd card and if you're rooted you can use the "folder mount" app to transfer any folder to the external.

I hope that going forward Samsung will start providing 32Gb internal as standard especially if they keep adding more "features" aka bloat. In the mean time it's what we have to deal with.

Get me the main version number with this fastboot command

Fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC One X] packman89:
That is 1.29.401.11
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Cool !

Download this file :

http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...12-radio-2120413520-release-274900-signedexe/

* put the phone in the bootloader and relock the bootloader with this command

Fastboot oem lock

* keep the phone in the locked bootloader and run the 2.17.401 ruu.exe with admin rights. Right click the ruu.exe and select " run as administrator "

It will flash the phone back to stock. Stock software, kernel and recovery. If the screen works after this (maybe) you can even update via the phone update menu to 3.14 jellybean and also all the way up to 3.20 software.

* Note : make a backup of the things you want to keep. If still possible. This will wipe the phone (data,contacts)

Succes !

Also I noticed that in the bootloader it says relocked instead of locked is this going to be a problem for warrenty?

Thanks so much so far I'm verry happy :laugh:
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Well no we cant make it "locked" the ruu takes care of everything. You are as stock as you can get now !

Hello again,

New day new problem :P

the batterie depleted last night and when i was charging my phone and restarted it it didn't came past the blackscreen with the grey htc logo.

I thought it was fixed yesterday because i could start the phone whitout any problems.

I did still had the [152] image update error. But because the phone worked and everything seemed to be on stock again i didn't paid any attention to that any more.

should i fix this first or can i just send the phone back because i assume everything is on stock anyway.

and how do i fix this :confused:

I can't go into bootloader mode but fastboot comands do still work. Iff it type fastboot reboot-bootloader it just goes to the blackscreen with grey htc letters again.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Weird indeed, try this

Fastboot erase cache

Then try to reboot again to the bootloader. Otherwise its defo a htc warranty/repair issue :(
[HTC One X] packman89:
when trying to reinstall the rom with cmd fastboot i get an 44 hboot version check fail.

if i remember correctly hboot was 00.95.00.000 when i could get into the bootloader

Did you install an official ota maybe to 2.17.401 ? Check the hboot if possible, or perform this command again

[HTC One X] packman89:
getvar is still 1.29.4.11

I tried 1.29.4.12, 1.29.4.11, and the ruu you gave me.

if ota means updating true phone i can not do this because the touchscreen doesnt work..

can you check hboot truew fastboot ?

and can somebody please fix my 5 min waiting lim:P
[HTC One X] packman89:
Can you speculate what will happen iff i send my phone to htc in his current stage? Wil they fix it or are they going to charge me?

I definatly find it a little strange. I have this phone for 10 months now and when i got it i installed the venom rom instantly without having any issues or problems 10 months later the touchscreen dies and going back to stock is verry difficult somehow....
[HTC One X] daninantro:
when you unlock your phone you lose your phones warranty.. so there is a high chance you will be charged for repairing.. and did u make a full nandroid backup before installing venom rom??
[HTC One X] packman89:
My phone is S.ON and unlocked by def website. the phone is relocked now so I should not have any warrenty problems when stock. Yes i did a full nandroid backup and kept it save on my computer that crashed in december.
[HTC One X] daninantro:
Oh that is sad! Your phone has a RELOCKED bootloader.. Htc people will see that relocked and then you will have to pay for your repairs! It doesn't matter that your phone is s-on, your phones warranty is gone.. Htc people see for LOCKED status in your bootloader for warranty. RELOCKED/UNLOCKED bootloader=warranty void
[HTC One X] packman89:
F me... That's stupid because it's not my fauld the touchscreen broke down.. It just doesn't respond anymore and that has nothing to do with a rom change or whatever i used this rom for more then 10 months without any problems. The rom problems started when i wanted to go back to stock...

This is a hardware problem not a software problem or am i seeing this wrong?

Mr.. hoffs what do you have to say about this?
[HTC One X] chromiumblue:
Speaking anecdotaly from my own experience. HTC does consider an unlocked and subsequently re-locked smartphone to be in violation of their warranty. They wanted to charge me $340 to repair something which as far as I was concerned was a manufacturing defect. In the end, I told them to keep the phone, I wasn't going to pay that kind of money to get a device that at best, I have only been marginally pleased with.

Within a week or so, they left me a voicemail that they'd waived the fee and the phone would be sent back to me. There was no contact after that, no idea what changed their mind, but you might have to be prepared to lose it entirely if you want to fight their ridiculous repair charges.

Food for thought :)
[HTC One X] packman89:
Thanks most definatly food for thought! nah i'm not willing to pay 340 $ or in my case probably 340€ to repair me phone they can keep it then. The new htc one is for sale for 512€ so i'd rather buy a new one instead.

:cowboy:
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Danin is so wrong here !!! You definitely still have warranty if its hardware related.

Unlocking the bootloader will NOT leave you without warranty.

The only thing is if they can prove somehow that its caused by software issues you have no warranty, if they say its a hardware defect they must repair it under warranty. And your phone has definitely a hardware (screen) problem !

You don't need a stock backup, you already ran the RUU ! Your phone can not get closer to stock then it is now.
[HTC One X] daninantro:
dude i am not wrong! i am speaking from an experience.. do u remember one x had issues with screen? yellow spots appearing on them? that is hardware related problem and unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with it, right?? htc people told me that for replacement of screen i will have to pay money.. the full amount of the new display. i live in India and htc functions this way here..

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

i agree with you but htc has this ridiculous policy.. if you get your phone repaired under warranty well and good. go to the service centre and see what they say
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Dude ? ..... Dont be disrespectful, i am neither. i know what i am saying and this is a clear policy in the Netherlands. I know this because i live in it ! And you even have 2 year factory/dealer warranty......

Edit :

But if you say that they will do everything in their power to say its a software problem...yes that's true ! ;)

Hi guys. I have to go stock for similar reasons. Need to get the screen replaced. Please help me out, I'm a bit stuck.

My HOX is running viperX 3.6.1.

I downloaded an RUU, but got an error that suggests I have the wrong one. The phone gets to the grey/black HTC text and then nothing. Reboot and it's fine. This is the RUU I downloaded from the site: androidfiles.org/ruu/

Phone came stock with ICS, and the JB 4.1+ update is not available for HOX in my country (South Africa) yet. Should I go for an ICS RUU? I really have no clue which one to choose, and there's quite a few... BTW Is it a requirement to relock the bootloader to flash RUU?

I'm thinking of trying this one:

Does it have to be the exact number? Having trouble finding one that matches. All I found is this so far:

You can only return to stock with a nandroid backup, a ruu for 3.20 does not exist !
