mm-qcamera-daemon mediaserver drain issue solved

My mm-qcamera-daemon / mediaserver issue was resolved by removing SKYPE in KitKat 4.4.

I had the problem every day until I un-installed skype.

I believe its a KitKat 4.4 issue but its triggered by Skype or any other app that is affected by the bug.

I have a T-Mobile Note 3

mm-qcamera-daemon : I fix it in my phone.

Hi

I have a Note 3 N9005 and it works great until 1 week ago. After that it drains the charge quickly and become hot and also the camera didn't work properly and one morning it take a picture automatically when I was in the bed ( I hear the sound of camera when I was awake in the bed ! )

How I fix my Problem :

1. I uninstall the "Clean Master".

2. then turn off the phone and remove the battery and put it in it's place again and turn on it.

3. there was no more "mm-qcamera-daemon" process.

viber causes this problem also

i had this problem until i uninstalled viber. after the last update(of viber), when i started viber i got an error related to my camera ("can not start" or something).

Im having this problem too on my Nexus 5. And I never had Skype installed. My only solutuion was to reboot. Seriously annoying bug of Kitkat! WTF
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rebel00:
I started having this problem recently. I searched for the solution but no luck. My understanding is that this is linked with 4.4.4 update. Problem occurs when one of your installed app tries to access camera. I unistalled Skype but that didn't work. I checked and around 32 apps on my phone had access to my camera and it was impossible to check which app is causing this problem.

My solution to this was uninstalling the viber. I remember when viber was updated last time I started receiving *cannot access camera *error on my screen.

In short, this error will remain until you delete the app which is trying to access your camera. It depends on each handset/device as each device is using different app to access camera. It could be Skype, viber, snapchat, yahoo messenger etc.

This looks like a bug with 4.4.4 where camera access to apps is causing this. I hope this helps.

Greenify is the key !

Hey people,

I had the same problem on S4,S5 and Note 3. I've already tried all the solutions i found here but the process was always there x(

...so here what i figured out :

ALL apps that use (Dropbox,Viber,Tango,Yahoo,What's App....) the Camera App could cause this process to appear and obviously we can't uninstall all this Apps ^_^ so i tried to hibernate all this App using Greenify and it works :D

I've tried this on multiple Samsung devices and it worked for each one of them :)

So solution is :

1 - Install Greenify and Hibernate all Apps using Camera specially Social Apps

2- Wipe cache ( Recovery )

3- Recalibrate the battery ( Battery Calibration App )

And you're good to go :D

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cina:
Hi!

Good to know that and your welcome. But I did not say to erase .nomedia files (they are there to exclude its folder from media search) only I proposed to search and destroy zero length picture (jpg, PNG, tif, etc...) files.

Apart from that I noticed that turning off intelligent screen lock (which watches your face through front camera to postpone screen dimming and consecutive lock if you are reading the screen) it decreases the number of events of high cpu usage caused by mmq-camera-daemon. Try even that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george s3:
"It's a cookbook!! It's a cookbook!!"

I heard that Google created the bug in order to force users to install a system update that has received a lot of complaints. So many people were complaining about Google's latest system update (adding more advertisements, draining battery life, defaulting paid apps to turn on) that they were turning off their auto update. Google couldn't allow that, so they created this bug where the only fix is to install their update or the alternative is a phone that drains battery so fast that the phone overheats. Proof: If this bug were created by anyone outside of Google, the first thing they would have done was identify the culprit and told users not to download the app. Instead, the fix they are pushing is a factory reset, to again force out their latest system upgrade, as well as to reinstall all those nuisance pre-installed apps that everyone immediately deletes.

PS. Google it if you don't get the title reference.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbh369:
I've seen similar behavior. While plugged in, hold the power button down 10 seconds. That's will affirmatively turn it off. Wait a few minutes then try turning on the nook, you will have to hold the power button for a couple of seconds to get it to boot. If your battery is very low, you may have to let it charge for awhile first. Just keep trying periodically and it should come back on.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] consolo:
Hi,

I have an xperia tipo and want to activate device encryption on it. Since the stock rom did not seem to support this functionality, I have flashed CM10 (FXP238) which offers this function in the "seucrity" settings.

Then I have assigned a PIN, charged the battery, plugged in the power adapter and clicked "encrypt phone". A message then displays "the device will boot several times, it will take more than an hour, data will be lost if power fails and so on ...". After continuing, the green android icon is displayed, but nothing else happens. Even after hours nothing has changed. By clicking on the "menu"-key, the green android icon can be deactivated and I get back to the regular android. But no encryption has taken place ..

I already own some other cell phones, for which I was able to activate encryption. Thus in general I know how this procedure works. But I cannot get it to work with the Tipo. Am I doing wrong? Has someone succeeded this operatoin with CM 10? Is there any different custom rom which supports this?

It would be great, if you could help me.

Ok I have my 4.2 sources and jackpot 3.0 master kernel,

android1234567 stated, "

I don't think I made a 4.2 kernel with the radio driver included. The kernel on my GitHub (sultan-kernel-jackpot-3.0) can be used with Android 4.2.X as long as it is built with the Android 4.2 sources/ramdisk (I used CM10.1 sources to build it). The way the kernel is packaged for this device is that the kernel source is built and generates a kernel image, then the kernel image is packaged with the ramdisk and recovery to create a boot.img (which can be flashed to the device). The reason why the current kernel isn't compatible with Android 4.2 is because the ramdisk and other parts of the boot.img (besides the kernel image) are built for Android 4.3 and don't work with 4.2. That means that the kernel source on my GitHub is fully compatible with Android 4.2 but it just needs to be put together with the proper Android 4.2 sources."

I need to turn jackpots 3.0 master kernel into a bootable kernel for slimbean 4.2 to get the FM radio driver working.

https://github.com/sultanxda/sultan-kernel-jackpot-3.0

If someone could point me in the right direction on what to do Id be very happy. I'm using Sultan Kernel r5 now but it doesnt have the FM driver. I want to add this into slimbean 4.2, Any advice would be most welcome.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Dav_prime:
Today I received my "Mobile bluetooth Keyboard for nexus 7" bought via amazon UK for £16.99.

As this is a first impressions review I will type out the OP with the keyboard and add pictures in a second post.

The device comes in a fairly minimal and sleek box. This was nice as it fit through my letterbox saving me a trip to the post office to collect it. (fig.1). On the bottom are a list of specifications with plenty of typing errors to add some amusement. The back has a couple of pictures of the keyboard with and without the nexus docked (Fig.2).

Inside the box there is a microUSB cable, the keyboard and a detailed set-up guide (being a man I did not bother to read the instructions when setting up). Within are some amusing instructions including "Do not microwave" and "The battery light will start blingking". Nevertheless this guide will help those less familiar with connecting devices set up quickly. (Fig.3)

The device itself has a purposeful power switch and "connect" button with good feedback. the Bluetooth status light is very bright so you can easily see when its working.

The N7 fits quite well into the groove between the keyboard and back panel. Its not as secure as I hoped and took a few attempts to seat it correctly. It does feel very back-heavy but the lip out back makes me confident that its not going to tip over. (Figs 4 and 5).

The device itself is very small. You wont be able to touch type on it so its index fingers only if you have large hands like me. The keys have a good amount of travel but feel a tad spongey so there have been a few missed letters here and there. The ridge at the front is quite intrusive and prevents you hitting the space bar with your thumb which is frustrating at first but something you quickly get used to. For typing long documents (or in this case XDA posts) is nicer then it would be with an on screen keyboard and I have made far fewer typos.

The N7 fits nicely in the case and seems quite sturdy (Figs 6 and 7). It adds no more bulk then my smart cover and does work as a nice stand, but the angle the device is held at is quite steep so may not be idea for movies.

The need to hit ctrl to get characters like - and + seems a bit odd and took me a while to work out, but having these options is a welcome addition.

My overall first impression is positive. Yes a larger Bluetooth keyboard and separate stand is a better option if you intend to write a novel. However, if you want to avoid the extra bulk of a separate device and want a functional keyboard on the go this seems like a decent buy given the price.

Over the coming days I intend to write a bit of a paper I am working on with it whilst away from home. This should be a good test of the device and will also give me a chance to try out the media controls, battery life and use under less then ideal conditions without a proper desk. I will update this post after a few days. Please see post 2 for photos and links.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Dav_prime:
Yeah i think it is the same.

After a week with it I have to say its grown on me more and more, I have taken to using it for writing lengthy e-mails and some notes instead of the laptop when sitting around at home or on-the-move. It is defiantly a bit cramped but I'm fine with that as it fits like a normal case so can be carried with it as I would with a smart cover.

A small note on build quality, the fit is not perfect so it rattles and slips a little when closed, but this is a minor annoyance. Also it would have been nice to dock the tablet in screen-up when you don't have room/want to put the keyboard to one side.

If there is anything you want me to try with it please ask. You can't put the tablet in in portrait mode as it will top over unfortunately.

Hi all,

I want to share this app with all of you, but specially with those users like me who haves a half-dead power button and they can't access to the terminal easily.

This app unlocks your phone when you put it inside your pocket and it unlocks it when it get out of there, it also works when you put the phone on the table. I think is a very useful app and I can confirm that its working perfectly in our device.

Give it a try!

I'm at wits end and am hoping someone here can help me. I recently bought a Nook Simple Touch (v 1.2.1), and tried to root it using this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040351.

Things seemed to go OK and I think I rooted it successfully, but I got frustrated because the amazon app store wasn't working and I couldn't figure out how to get google apps up and going. So I figured I'd restore it back to original state, do some more reading, and try to root it again when I had more knowledge. I was able to get it to the screen to do the factory restore (# 3 on this thread: http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch_restore_to_stock), but it is hung up on the start screen (the screen that says "nook by Barnes & Noble" with the dot moving across the five circles). It's been hung for over an hour.

I'm really frustrated - I've rooted phones before, and recently rooted a Nook HD+ with zero issues.

When I rooted it I thought I was making a backup by hitting the backup button before hitting the route, but I don't see any backup image on my SD card.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

---------------------------

UPDATE:

ok, I am a huge fan of the Brontes but have never been so excited to see their faces as I am now! After a lot of frustration and cursing, but lots of persistence, I was able to successfully do the system restore, by doing #2 on this thread ((# 3 on this thread: http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch_restore_to_stock)). It appears that option #3 wasn't really working (I hit the home button twice per the instructions, but then it turned into a cycle of hell).

So now I will proceed more cautiously, first being certain I figure out how to make a backup...
[Nook Touch General] FreyaBlack:
Hiya Droid,

Getting the google maps and market etc working is a bit of a faff quite frankly but it does work!

Heres the instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086582

Take your time and follow them step by step and you should be good to go.

Google Maps works great on the nook and is possibly the best app for it. The twitter app also works and it looked like the facebook app worked too (but it was huge!) Opera Mobile Classic is a really nice web browser to use with it, The opera mini that come pre-installed is a waste of time imho. Also UC Browser (with the squirrel) is the other web browser I recommend. I probably use it more than Opera Mobile Classic.

BTW if you are in the UK then the amazon appstore doesn't work and you can just uninstall it by doing a long press on the icon.

Hope you get it all working. I think the thing to do is just to take your time and not to get frustrated or worry when things go wrong. If you have a fresh nook then you have no data to lose anyway, and as you have found, there are a lot of ways to get you back to where you started!

Good Luck! :)
