[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DryEagle:
I know there have been several threads on this already.

However, today for me it came to a truly ridiculous level.

I had charged fully and unplugged my phone before going to sleep.

Didn't use it this morning.

Now, this morning, I open it up and it's under half battery.

I click the battery in settings and this is what I see:

This was overnight. Nothing running. Just this f***ing media server eating all the battery.

There has to be a solution. Besides rebooting the phone every day.

I don't want to root the phone purely to solve this. Because I know if I do root there are ways to auto kill it and such. But I'd much prefer to keep it unrooted as I have no other need of root and it just seems... excessive.

Can anyone offer any advice? This is nothing to do with media players or whatever. I have no media files on my phone. Only use it for web browsing and games occasionally. The media server is just ...broken. I'm at a loss here, please, contribute your superior knowledge.

Thanks in advance.

I was having that mediaserver wake lock problem also. After rebooting twice a day for a couple days I finally figured out it was due to touch sounds being on. Once I turned touch sounds off I've been getting pretty good battery life with excellent standby.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DryEagle:
I've never had touch sounds or lock screen sounds enabled. I checked again and they're off.

Any other ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Media server is a process gg on to keep scanning for the pictures in ur phone. There is a way to disable it and will not harm ur fone. The app is called "Rescan Media Root" u can download it in google play. Open it and press disable. Most of the time the pics will still appear in gallery. If any recent pics u taken in ur camera or anything else is not in ur gallery, just go back to the app and enable it. Wait for arnd 5 mins and disable again.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenyw:
It might be helpful to use an app like Clean Master, SD Maid or similar to nuke your browser and app caches to see if that helps. Sometimes the caches contain media files, and if any of them are corrupted for whatever reason the Media Server is apt to get stuck on them which can cause battery drain.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Tats why i said to use the rescan media root app from google play. It will disable to media server. But yeah its always best to clear the cache anyway for storage space. I use clean master and cleared over 7 gb in total for a few months. :)

The problem is that needs root, and my phone isn't rooted; and the thread about how to root it says it will wipe all data. Except without root titanium backup doesn't work fully and stuff. I just don't want to go there if I can avoid it.

I've got SD Maid now and hopefully that will help...

It will wipe his data because his bootloader isn't unlocked.

[MENTION=4469945]DryEagle[/MENTION]

The cache cleaner is a good recommendation. But I suspect you have a rogue app running that should not be running. I think that cleaning program has a task manager also. You should be able to find the source of the issue with that.

Get BetterBatteryStats also.

Technically root won't wipe his phone but the chances of him having a unlocked phone and not adding root are slim.

You can try helium backup as I think it will do a local data only backup without root but honestly never tried it without root and have not read the Google play page in ages.

I can understand your desire to not less with root or unlocking but this is a good example of why a lot of people do. As it stands now without root you have few options to kill the rouge process or even figure out what that process is. Without root the only real choice your left with is factory reset but that will wipe your data. With root you can at least make a backup however unlocking your boot loader now will still wipe your phone.

Try better battery stats and see if that works without root (you can get it here on XDA) and if so it might help you at least figure out what app or process is forcing media to be such a battery drain.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Han Solo 1:
Do you have Google Music installed? If so, try deleting it and see if that helps.

I have found that Google Music keeps running in the background, even if I never opened it.

I am rooted and froze Google Music, and the media server thing hardly ever shows up in battery stats now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STi_Fanatic:
I use Google Music frequently, but on days when I don't use it Media Server takes hardly any battery.

OP - BBB should work without root for some features. I'd download that and give it a whack to see if you can identify the culprit. Might turn out to be something really random.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DryEagle:
thanks for all the info guys; in the end i just bit the bullet and rooted the phone (figured might aswell do it sooner rather than later) so now i of course don't have this problems anymore ^^

so if I lock my phone and wait 5 minutes the screen is not working after I press the lock button,something is with the contact because when I press hard on the down left corner is working but if I relase it ,it goes black again.Is any method to fix it ? I need to change my screen or it's fixable? sorry for my bad english :)
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Flat cable or conector issue. You need to dissasemble your phone
[HTC EVO 3D] tom0769:
Maybe some more details to sort it:

- did the rom boot normal

- "down left corner" of what, the button or the touch display

- if you boot into bootloader or recovery, then is it ok, is the power button working, is the touch screen functional in touch recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] Anonymuszymus:
it's no the rom problem,in the corner where is het home" soft button

if I reboot to bootloader it's working if I press hard the corner,and the touch screen is workig fine in touch recovery
[HTC EVO 3D] Anonymuszymus:
is any tutorial? and I need a new screen or just fix this old?
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
You can find lots of videos on youtube. My guess is you'll need a new screen if it's the cable. If it's the connector on the motherboard you'll probably need a new phone ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Anonymuszymus:
wow,it's not a chance tobrepair this old?
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
You need to be very skilled to solder parts that small and not destroy anything. Anyway, it's cheaper to buy another used phone than to replace screen or motherboard than replacing anything with new parts. And if you buy another phone you still have spare parts you can use if needed or sell them to get some of your money back

Knock On works on the customer roms and Knock Off can be done by the following, use either Apex or Nova as your launcher and set the launcher up that a double tab executes the app from the link below and Knock Off will work from any where on the home screen.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyko.Tech67:
im running cm 10.2 as of now.. my suggestion to you is to download screen off... the icon is a black and grayish power button... if you dont use the swipe up from the home button that much for google now, when downloaded you can replace the default so when swiping up from the home button it turns off your screen! its what im using right now and i like it because it works everywhere, even the lockscreen! , also you can do the same thing routing the same app to a double tap feature on apex/nova launcher if you like the knock itself, but as far as just turning off your device when its flat down, this is my solution hope it helped! :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
"Knock Off" can also be implemented by using GMD Gesture Control and defining a screen off gesture (e. g. swiping down with 3 or 4 fingers). Has the added advantage that it works everywhere, regardless whether you are in the launcher or in any app. Use that on my Tablet Z very successfully.

Hmmm, they all look remarkably similar in design & if it's not patented ...

Got mine from an Ohio-based company by the name of Fintie - purchased indirectly on eBay for $9 shipped free 7 fast, I like it - fittings are good & no complaint (better than Spigen's Hybrid Ultra. Maybe a bit "bulky" for some but feel solid & non-slip in my hands.

It's supposed to be impact/shock absorbing - even if the kick stand break over time on repeated usage, the soft TPU case can still be used on its own.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] UncleMike:
I ordered mine two days ago and it should be here tomorrow. There's a bunch of similar cases that all look to be OEMed by the same factory, with minor modifications to the kickstand area and "grooves" in the silicone. Google caught me off guard - I ordered my Nexus on Monday with a "ships by Dec 11", so I thought I would have it next week; it shipped the same day and arrived yesterday. I'm not crazy about the holster design (no positive retention), but for $9 I can always keep it as a spare after my Seidio Dilex arrives. I've also got a Ballistic SG Maxx on pre-order, which could very well get cancelled if I don't hate the kick stand on the Dilex (I'm not a fan of kick stands).

I figured it out!!!!!

figured it out!

I went to a blank computer and installed the T-Mobile Apps from scratch then the first thing I did after the reboot from the ActiveSync install...was rand the ROM upgrader (CUSTOM_RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe)

....PRESTO.....

What I saw was the driver used when the phone goes into the Boot Loader screen (RED, GREEN, BLUE). It stated "USB Device" as the driver was loading in Windows XP...after it stated device ready to be used....it started!

I would suggest unistalling ActiveSync and reinstalling it from the T-Mobile Disc....this should work!

Hi all,

I am new to the community and I am sure my question can be answered by a pro person. It is my second post and the first one was not answered yet. It seems after flashing CM10.1 the display quality dropped and the pixel density is not as it was before. In other words, t is not HD quality anymore.

I appreciate any help and I really helps if you can answer my questions:

1. Do I need to install a display management app or any special display driver?

2. Does that mean CyanogenMod is not a HD ROM?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shobeira:
Thanks foe the reply.

The reason that I asked the question is I need to make sure it is not a hardware issue with my device particularly. So, as I understand from your words, Samsung is managing the display by some kind of softwares and it is not an hardware issue with my device, am I in right track?

As far as I know, every firmware and platforms, include CM, needs to write driver for the hardware to be able to talk to the hardwares. I thought maybe I have missed a driver or something.

I appreciate your time to reply me but it would be nicer to be answered politely as I have no idea about how CM is written and I am a beginner.

Is there anyway to improve the quality?
