I'm a newbie, so please bare with me if I miscommunicate something.

I know there are tons of posts regarding this issue, and I'm sure I've read every possible one I can find regarding the Android/Media Server/Battery Drain issue to no avail, so I'm hoping that someone has some other advice based on the following information.

I'm running 4.2.2 via CyanogenMod (10.1.2-d2vzw). I occasionally use GoogleMusic/Audible, and all was well until about a month ago when my battery just started to die for now apparent reason. A quick search turned up the Media Server issue (at the time Media Server was running at 53%). I tried rebooting/power off-on, but no luck. Randomly about three days after the battery drain issue started, it seemed to disappear and battery life returned to normal.

Now last week the issue has returned and then some. I wiped everything, reinstalling CyanogenMod, no wallpaper, and I purposefully left off any audio-apps, anything I could think of media-related to see if this made a difference, but it didn't. I then added back GoogleMusic/Audible, but MediaServer still hovers around 60% usage. The phone runs hot all the time, even when connected to Wifi/4G. I'm just at a complete loss at to what I can do.

I've attached screenshots if this helps at all. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Look through your SDcard look for any Pics or MP3s that are at 0KB that was my issue. once i removed all ofthe croupted pics my media server issue went away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SABmore:
Thanks. I assume you are talking about my internal SD card? I unmounted my external SD card to see if that made a difference...its was negligible. Then only folder on my internal card that seems to really have anything in it is the "blobs" under ClockWorkMod, but there are over 3000 folders with files under it. Could it be somewhere in there? And if so, any suggestions on how to quickly find it? Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbolton_98:
I would say nandroid and backup internal sd card. Then do a clean wipe and format of internal sd. Restore nandroid and then copy back data that you need from backup. ( if a file gets corrupted while playing it can cause media scan to hang up and keep goung over and over it. Option 2 (a short fix) downloaad rescan media root from play store and run. I always select disable a second time then close it. If you add media and it doesn't show up run rescan and enable then see if it shows up. if so run again and disable.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PIYIRIO:
I have this issue no matter the ROM; TW and AOSP it doesn't matter. I've formatted my SD card in both a PC and in the phone. I have 25+ gigs of music and video on my sd card and I'm not going through that to find the culprit. The only thing I can get to stop this is an app in the market called "Rescan Media Root". It stops the media scanner and the drain. Unfortunately (and obviously) you have to be rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marcusleemitchell:
Fixed by changing a developer option

I'm running LiquidSmooth 10,2 and was able to fix this by unchecking "Scan for media at startup" in developer options.

I'm not totally sure as to the downside of this, I've not noticed any difference in how or where my media is displayed but it does get rid of the battery draining service that runs all the time. YMMV of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
The only downside to that is if you put new music n your device your music player may not see it unless you manually scan for media.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
I haven't had this problem lately but I have definitely had it in the past. In my case I had a corrupt Jpeg that caused it. I wonder if there is a way to find out which files the media scanner is having trouble with... at the time it didn't say anything in the log.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MenageAquad:
I saw this too

I also had a corrupt JPEG from the screenshot folder. I'll find out later if deleting it helps the battery drain. But how I found it was kind of neat: plug it into a Windows 7 machine with a micro-USB cable, open up Windows Explorer and use the search bar in the top right to search for files of empty size. It found several other files too, but that was the only media-looking one.

How to stop Media drainig your battery

I had "Media" on the first place in battery chart (under Settings). It was caused by "face recognition of my friends" inside all photos and videos I put inside my phone and MicroSD card. This could be simply disabled by going to Gallery application (Samsung's default tool for viewing photos and videos). Go to main home screen (press main hardware button in the middle under display), then touch Apps (should be in the lower right corner of your display), find Gallery (by sweeping left/right), inside Gallery press Menu button (left softkey), choose Settings and there disable "Tag buddy" and "Face tag". You may unset (switch off) all "Cloud sync" too (probably Dropbox sync at least) - touch it and switch off all syncs (Pictures, Videos, Documents). You may try to enable something and check out your battery chart in Settings again (you have to fully recharge to reset battery usage chart under Settings).

Hope it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] northvibe:
Thank you so much! I just got a S3, updated to 4.3, all of a sudden the battery would die with in hours. I have the media server bug, no sd card (yet), factory reset the phone, still had the issue. I just tried the above, Gallery settings then disabling those couple things. So far (3 hours in) media server isn't on my "battery" list. Hope this is the fix for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] northvibe:
Yeah, nvm. It worked for about 6-8 hours. I woke up and Media Server has used a crap ton of battery/resources :/ ugh. I'll try the fixes thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] id74em8:
Media Server handles all apps using WiFi/Mobile Data for sync/update purposes. If you have any RSS readers installed, or if you have auto backup enabled in apps like Google+/Photos/Goggles, turn them off.

It reduces the CPU usage and you'll have normal battery life again.

Check the screenshot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kingfish907:
I listed to some music for 2 hours this morning and media server was upto 44 present that's from listing to music off my external sd card, is that normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kishan l r:
Often your Media scanner can misbehave and eat lot of CPU, Battery un-wantedly.

I had been digging out how to fix it, and here are my solutions. Perhaps try al of them, it would definitely relieve your cpu and battery usage by large. Solution works on any Android version:

Solution 1. Clear media storage data

Settings > applications > Media Storage > clear data, force stop and reboot.

Solution 2. Remove unwanted media files

Navigate to /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails and delete all files. Repeat for external sd card.

On AOSP roms, Android gallery creates too many of thumbnails that later becomes problematic for media scanner.

Solution 3. Analyze and delete excessive media files

Find out what files are causing media scanner to go mad.

Use any sdcard analyst (I use ES file manager > menu > Sd card analyst) to determine which directory has lots of files/subdirectories inside it. Any directory having >1000 files/folders is an alarmingly high number. Get rid of them (if you can).

step 3 is the easy way to solve it any noobers can do this.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whittikins:
Does the front LED allow you to choose any color (like the Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus, etc)?

Does the rear LED allow this too?

Do apps like Light Flow allow you to properly set different colors for different apps? Can you use both front AND rear LED's? Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmbtswmr:
I can only speak for stock:

You cannot choose the colors for each event, but you can choose which event you want to blink. The colors for each are preset, most are green.

The rear seems to be one color, but only works for:

Incoming Call

Alarm

Ongoing Call

I believe Light Manager (nonRoot) allows you to change the colors to anything you want (on the front). The back I believe is only hyper white. It has a very nice looking pulse to it. I believe people trying light flow could not get the app to detect the rear LED. Someone else can confirm.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtseals:
using light flow i got the rear led to light up but it does not flash like the front so like when you get a message the front led is flashing and the rear led stays lit up and its only color is the hyper white
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dchibro:
Front is full RGB color. Back is just white. You cannot globally change the color for specific notification types. You can however change the color for notifications from specific contacts to colors like purple, yellow and pink (and more). It boggles my mind though that you can't change the color globally. Hopefully a custom ROM will add that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whittikins:
Light flow should do the trick.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dchibro:
Some have reported inconsistent results with Lightflow. Also, I'm a battery nut and hate having extra apps running for such specific things like controlling the LED, not to mention a persistent Lightflow notification when it's running gets under my skin. Yeah I've got a bit of OCD when it comes to my gadgets heh.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cslingerland:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
For the time being looks like Light Manager is the answer.

For a few versions now the custom ROMs for my Gnex have had their own LED notification setup built in. You can set any color for any installed app, and it was always ultra reliable. So once the development really kicks in for the G2, I dont think we'll need any external app for it anymore.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
This is all good info. I don't like stock SMS apps because I have more options with third party like GoSMS but sadly I couldn't get it to access the notification light. Very weird considering every other phone I've owned had no issues there.
