[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigblueshock:
I am curious, I am investigating the same issue as well. Here are my observations.

When I first got my phone last Saturday, I wiped everything including internal storage, tossed the ROM on my internal SD after via recovery, and flashed away. No mediaserver problem.

I decided I wanted to wipe everything and try a different ROM. I wiped everything except internal storage. Boom, mediaserver issues.

Switched back to my ORIGINAL rom which did not have the issue, by doing a factory reset, and wiping everything EXCEPT internal storage, then flashing. Boom, mediaserver issues.

I noticed some apps were possibly having trouble reading folders in internal storage, folders that were already there from previous ROM install. I deleted the folders, and let the APP re-create them. No more issue there.

I am now going to wipe internal storage completely, and get back to you guys. If this works, then it's definitely from not wiping internal storage before/after flashing a ROM, in addition to wiping everything else.

Edit: I can confirm. Wiping Internal Storage, then wiping ART/Dalvik Cache, then letting android rebuild the needed files in Internal Storage, did fix the issue. Maybe leftover files from previous flash caused the issue.(even though I did a clean flash, but never wiped internal storage) Obviously make a backup of your DCIM/Music/Downloads folders so you can throw them back on the phone afterwards
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzMozz:
I doubt whether it has something to do with not wiping internal storage. I have been experiencing this issue for I think three months now (since I bought my 6P). When I got it, I immediately rooted and flashed Xposed. Later on I installed Franco kernel. I flashed the January security patch and did not wipe the internal storage. Problem persisted. I skipped the February patch and now for the March patch I flashed MHC19I AND wiped my internal storage. Still no luck. The only thing you mentioned that I didn't do was wipe the Dalvik/ART cache. So that could be the solution but I couldn't be bothered now to flash MHC19I again and install everything from scratch. I'll wait for the next update, will do a full wipe of both internal storage and cache. Hope that will solve the problem.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigblueshock:
To be honest... I think you're right. It's been about 2-3 weeks now since i've last wiped everything. First day I had maybe 20 minutes, a week later i re-looked, 4 hours on Audio On.

I think I've come to the conclusion it's a glitch in GSAM with root privileges, and not displaying system battery drain correctly with media server. If you take away GSAM's root privileges, it doesn't display media servers drain anymore, if there even is one.

After some testing, that "Audio On" time goes up when there is a notification active on my phone. The time stops once i clear notifications. So yeah, nothing to do with internal memory.

Overall, probably just a glitch in GSAM w/root companion, which completely fubars the battery stats.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzMozz:
I emailed the dev of GSAM on 16 February to report this (possible) bug but never got a reply. :mad:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gytole:
The media scanning is ABSOLUTELY a problem from never wiping internal.

You MUST format data in twrp (yes) every now and then or the scanner tries to piece left overs from your OLD OS with your new one and its not good.

This is NOTHING new. The same thing happens on phones with SD cards. If you take one from your old phone that has stuff on it and throw it in your new phone you will more than likely get a media scanning error and in my case with the 15 phones I work on, and yes, fifteen in my close family I have seen corrupt memory cards JUST from swapping phome because android tries to write where it can't. It sounds crazy but I have seen this over and over.

So as I have said in multiple forums, Copy what you favor most to your pc or backup storage, MAKE SURE the storage is cleaned up first/formatted first so you don't corrupt what youre trying to save (I have seen this too).

Theb go into twrp and under wipe use the right wipe data option, format yes, then back up and wipe everything system, data, cache, dalvik, internal, all of it. Then copy your rom to your phone again, I also recommend a OTG cable because I don't like flashing a rom from the same storage controller it is writing too, and reboot your phone and REDOWNLOAD your apps. Try doing half or so of your apps and see if your media scanning still exist. I almost gurantee they won't.

Sometimes you just need to start fresh and a "factory data reset" just doesn't do it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocio19:
Reading this was very interesting, I had no idea media could so easily cause "bugs" or issues, so thank you for that explanation :)

I do have a question though. Why is it then that if my phone is on vibrate all day, the mediaserver drain pretty much disappears?

One of the other replies said something about being the notifications that you don't check right away that those accumulate and cause the drain. And that made a lot of sense to me since like I said, whenever my phone is on vibrate I never see any mediaserver drain.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritchiejoe:
I performed a clean wipe yesterday, went back to complete stock. Re flashed Pure nexus yesterday...... I have media draining again and I have no media files on my phone. So your method for me fixed nothing :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
Google has addressed specifically two mediasever related issues in the latest security update build (MCH19Q). Please update, and see if it solves the issue for you.

Here is the Nexus Security Bulletin for April 2016.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
I have not yet updated to MCH19Q so can't comment on whether or not it changes anything. However I was able to fix it on my own.

I deleted my entire google music library weeks ago and the problem disappeared and hasn't come back. I noticed in my music library there was one or two songs that were corrupt and wouldn't play. I suspect those files got downloaded to the phone and were causing the mediaserver wakelocks. If you have corrupt files on your storage and you can find them, I suggest getting rid of them and then seeing if it helps. I should be redownloading my music library soon and will report if the wakelock returns.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzMozz:
I doubt whether that is the issue. I have read multiple comments that the mediaserver thing could have something to do with corrupt media files. Therefore, when I flashed MCH19I I left out all of my media files to see if that would make any difference. But it didn't. Still huge mediaserver drain. I then copied all of my media files back to my phone because there was no difference. And I do not use Google Music (in fact it is hibernated).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Google music wasn't the culprit, it was the corrupt media file that it downloaded. I would wipe your entire phone including internal storage and then see if the media server crap is gone. I have not seen it since.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzMozz:
And did you restore your media files after wiping your phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
I have not, they are still in the cloud. I plan to in the next couple of days though. Right now I have been focused on killing NLP wake locks without disabling location services. Which it appears I have done using app ops.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzMozz:
Please tell us the results when you have restored your media files and whether the mediaserver thingy has returned.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Should be today or tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Streamed google music from the cloud all day and haven't seen a single media server wake lock. Downloading full music library to the phone now to test. I did delete that corrupt song from my cloud library just before starting the download. We will see tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzMozz:
How did you find out it was corrupt?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allesa:
This bug certainly comes from audible notifications that you dont open right away... Each second passed with the notification is on your notification shade, the audio on time accumulates.... The question is is this a google bug or GSAM bug? This problem doesnt show in wakelock detector or BBS.

I've tried wiping all, (data, cache, INTERNAL, system, dalvik), start from fresh. No media whatsoever inside except to those came from the rom (the usual ringtones, notification sound etc). No music player, no photos, nothing. I first installed gsam and root, messaged myself using whatsapp from another phone. Waited 1 minute exactly before I open the message, then check gsam for the media server. Voila, Audio On: 1 m.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Music file was 2 seconds long instead of 4 minutes.

This is an excellent point. I recently in the last few weeks stopped using gsam and only use bbb now. Was using both. Now that I think of it I'm pretty sure gsam was the one that showed the wake lock and bbb never did. But I can't be certain.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_jaxx:
Exactly!

Same thing here on a S7edge...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Okay so I have my full music library on my phone minus that corrupted one that I mentioned before. No signs of a mediaserver wake lock.

However, I think [MENTION=4535562]Allesa[/MENTION] might have been right and it's a GSAM thing as I am using BBB to monitor everything.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzMozz:
Last weekend I was forced to do a new install because my phone ended up in a bootloop and I wanted to flash the latest security update anyway. So what I did was flash MHC19Q, wipe internal storage, wipe Dalvik/ART. I then restored my old apps using TiBu, but I did not restore my media files. GSAM (without root companion) did not show any mediaserver activity. I then installed root companion and mediaserver was back with a vengeance: 86,2% of app usage. I then restored all my media files, because they did not cause the drain anyway.

This lead to my conclusion that:

- the mediaserver drain is not caused by (corrupt) media files

- doing a clean install and wiping internal storage and Dalvik/ART does not do anything to remedy this issue

- the only options left to consider is that when restoring my TiBu backup some old bug is restored too, or the mediaserver drain is wrongly recorded by GSAM

If it's the latter option, I then still do not understand why over the course of 4.5 hours, my phone was asleep for 89% of the time, but I still managed the have an hourly drain of 3.1%
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GialanG:
On my phone, the culprit is phone call. I tried several times, mediaserver is gone after a system restart, but right after a phone call (even there's no answer) it comes back. Any idea?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsamtan:
Jumping in this thread rather late - but I'm hoping folks can tell me if they're still seeing the mediaserver problem with the current builds?

The problem is an Android bug, but in theory GSam could work around it (I've done similar things for other devices). In short, Android battery stats report that the media server is actively playing audio the whole time - therefore GSam penalizes that process accordingly. But - in reality the mediaserver really isn't playing anything.

I just got myself a 6P in April and haven't been able to re-create this issue at all, so I'm hoping this is fixed in the base image? Can anybody confirm if they're still seeing mediaserver tag 'audio on' time higher than what they're actually using?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schizophrenia:
i am on the latest May security build and did a clean install on April security build and I can confirm the problem persist that it does shows a very high System (mediaserver) (Audio On) battery drain stat. Like in my case my phone has been idle just now for 1h30m and the Audio On: is 14m and it's the third highest drain according to GSam Battery Monitor
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzMozz:
+1
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaBlaze:
Bump.. Any new theories?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzMozz:
I'm still in the dark as well. GSAM had an update this week. There is a check box to exclude mediaserver stats if they seem wonky. I unchecked it (as advised) but the mediaserver drain is still present. But BBS does not show any mediaserver activity.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] uodii:
Sorry if this has already been asked, but searching yielded nothing. Anyways, I was curious if anybody has come across a case like this for the Nexus 6P: http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Verus-Damda-Slide-Yellow/dp/B00M9UBR7Y or even one with just a simple pouch on the back that's capable of hanging on to a few cards securely.

The only wallets I can find are the flip cases with a front cover and I just hate those.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Thaevil0ne:
Kind XDA users,

I figured out a way to stream YouTube using a Note 4 on Android version 4.4.4 while the screen is off.

Also tried this on S6 and different phones on v5.0+.

Sadly it does not work on these models / versions.

Please note I use the default browser, I have no clue or it would work using a different browser. Tried to search or it was posted before, could not find it, thought I should share it, so here you go:

1. ) Find a YouTube video and launch fullscreen (from stock browser).

2.) Drag your status bar all the way down while the video plays fullscreen.

3.) Press the power button, screen should turn off but the audio keeps playing.

Edit: It seems that when you create a floating window and launch a fullscreen video in it, then unfocus the window (by for example tapping the homescreen) and powering off the device: results in the same thing.

Perhaps this way it would work on 4.4.4+ not sure, can not test at this moment.

Kind regards, Stefan.

Anyone tried installing SELinuxModeChanger and setting it to Permissive mode?

I'm thinking about moving from an xperia z3c to a Pro 5 and would want to know if this solves the issue with some users not being able to run v4a.

Basically, on the z3c, I needed 3 things (plus Root ofc):

- busybox

- SELinuxModeChanger (set to Permissive)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
when your network is busy, your speed gets slowed down. usually its slower in the day, and faster at night. anyways, it has nothing to so with your n6. it all has to do with your network. I get 60mbps near home, and 5mbps near work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladebuddy:
Giffgaff speeds are identical if not slower in my area.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you take a look at the screenshot it shows you as being on HSPA, which is 3G. So there is definitely a network issue in your location. You would know if you were on LTE, as the network indicator on the phone would read "LTE" instead of "H" or "H+", and LTE speeds would be around 50 down and 10 up.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harry44:
I don't know who your network provider is but I haven't seen LTE speeds of 50 down since the launch day of the HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon. Network quality has severely degraded since then...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I didn't save the test results from when I got the 50/10 result, and I should have. Below is what I just got from a test. Are those numbers typical?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
typical is what you would normally see. and typical doesn't exist, since we all see different data speeds throughout the day. again, it all depends how busy your network/tower is at the time. again, I see speeds up to 60mbps download, 30mbps upload. and also, I see speeds of 5mbps download, 5mbps upload. that's a big range isn't it? but its like that every day, depending where I am and what part of the day it is. that's typical.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I had a terrible ping on that test, which is why I only got 30 down and 10 up. However, even a better ping doesn't always help. Running a couple of tests on different servers just now resulted in lower speeds than 30/10, which means more people using the network. The question of typical comes up not only because the poster prior to you doubted that I received 50/10, but because I never had a device with working LTE until the Nexus 6 and didn't know what to expect.
